Waikiki was the place to be this past Saturday night, when the red carpet was rolled out for the entire cast and crew of Lost, for a big screen premiere of the first part of “LA X,” the first episode of Season 6. Check out these pics from the big event below.
I also recommend checking out the pics that were Tweeted directly from the red carpet by Lost fans and reporters @jopinionated, @NatalieAbrams, @SawyerandKate, @ByCarLost, and @Niickaaa.
Beware that pirate video footage from “LA X” has already shown up on the Net, so you may want to avoid YouTube until after …read more

Actor Naveen Andrews (Sayid Jarrah) is guest starring on an upcoming episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, reports TV Guide. Nothing is known of Andrews’ role, but the episode in question starts filming next week in New York.
Lost fans shouldn’t read into this; it’s not uncommon for regulars on one show to guest star on another, though the great distance between New York and Hawaii will no doubt complicate things. In any event, there’s no need to start the rumor mill churning over “Sayid being killed off early in Season 6.” Anything’s possible, especially considering this is the …read more

The break in between episodes this week got me to thinking about how there are only 3 more Wednesday nights remaining with new Lost episodes in all of 2009. We won’t see the 6th and final season until January 2010, and it will be much later this year before filming begins. So just what have Lost’s main cast members — past and present — been doing and what will they do with all that downtime?
Let’s have a look at what they’re up to, and where else they can be seen in the near future. (Note that Evangeline Lilly, Daniel Dae …read more

A new video from ABC has turned up on YouTube, promoting this week’s episode 5.03 of Lost, entitled “Jughead.” It features actors Naveen Andrews (Sayid), Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), and Michael Emerson (Ben) talking about time travel and Season 5 storylines.

TMZ.com reports that actor Naveen Andrews, who plays Sayid Jarrah on Lost (pictured here at an ABC event in May of 2007) left L.A. County Superior Court Wednesday afternoon with his three-year-old son Naveen Joshua, having been awarded sole custody of the child after the boy’s mother, Elena Eustache, allegedly traveled with him outside of L.A. County without permission. Andrews also claimed Eustache kept him from seeing his son.
Under the new provisional court order, Andrews is allowed to bring his son with him to Hawaii during filming of Lost. A full hearing is scheduled for February.

Sky1 in the UK recently got to interview Naveen Andrews (Sayid), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), and Terry O’Quinn (Locke). The trio chatted about their favorite moments from Season 4 and their predictions for Season 5. These five minutes are worth your time:

Continuing the series I began last week, here are a few more tidbits I’ve picked up so far from viewing the extra features on the Season 4 DVD set:

The 20-minute “Conspiracy of Lies” fake documentary reveals that Boone, Libby, and Charlie were the three survivors the Oceanic Six claimed died on the island, in their lie about the crash. I think this may have been mentioned somewhere before by the producers or someone connected to the show, but I can’t recall ever seeing official confirmation of it until now.
The season finale, the three-part “There’s No Place Like Home,” began filming …read more
