The production of season 6 of Lost is starting to rev up with the casting of two new characters. Hiroyuki Sanada and John Hawkes will play recurring characters in the up coming season of Lost. John Hawkes will play a character called Lennon who is a spokesperson/translator for the president of a foreign corporation, as well a "wily negotiator who is far more powerful than his lowly position would seem to indicate. Could he be working for Widmore or Hanso? Hiroyuki Sananda character is not as well defined. Only word coming out is that it is a signifiganct recurring role.

A new video series has begun on abc.com that will give us new information on The Dharma Initiative. A supposed news program from the 1980's called "Mysteries Of The Universe" is airing a 5 episode investigation into the Dharma Initiative. Episode one is currently showing on abc.com. A new episode will air each month through November. The scheduled air dates for episodes 2 through 5 are August 4th, September 8th, October 15th and November 16th. Episode one is an introduction into the upcoming series and gives some background into a secret organization called the Dharma Initiative. See the video after the break.

ABC is starting a new online experience to get us through the long hiatus. Lost University will open on September 22nd. (anniversary of 815 crash) The website is up and running and you can sign up for e-mail updates. There is not alot of information on the site yet. You can see the course listings that include Ancient Writing On The Wall, I'm Lost Therefore I Am, I'm Right You're Wrong The Us vs Them Mentality and Advanced Physics of Time Travel. Of course the store is open for business. This is basically an elaborate advertisement for the Season 5 DVD sale, but that does not mean we can not have fun with this activity. Check back for any updates. We will be discussing Lost University here. Join in on the fun.

Week three of the great Lost Rewatch has concluded, bringing us about halfway through Season 1! Can you believe that? For those keeping pace, this week we re-watched Solitary, Raised By Another, All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues, and Whatever the Case May Be. In this week's article, we'll take a look at what the hot topics were the first time around for these episodes, and what impressions we have now with a second look five years later. We'll also discuss neglected storylines, and speculate on how things might be revisited in the final season. Follow the jump to read our break down of week 3, and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Time sure flies when you're having fun, and its already the end of week two of the Lost Rewatch. I apologize for not getting a post up last week, but I ended up sick with the flu and had a heck of a time getting through it all. Rather than trying to go back and do a post for last week, I figured we'd just jump right in with week two of the rewatch, which focused on season 1 episodes 5, 6, 7, and 8. I thought it might be fun to take a look down memory lane at the investigations Sledge had posted back in 2004, and then also include any investigations that have been solved, as well as the ones that remain open. Finally, I'll close out the article by discussing any possible new investigations. These will either be things that we missed (or didn't know was important) the first time around, as well as items that simply have new meaning based on what we now know. We'll get started right after the jump.

Two weeks ago, during the season finale of Lost, we got the very first full glimpse of the four-toed statue, face and all, just like we were promised by the producers earlier in the season. However, we were also told that it would be clear just who that statue was depicting, and though some obviously saw clearly who it was, there was nothing to give us the official word on it, and some of you, me included, have remained a bit frustrated at the ambiguity of exactly which Egyptian deity the statue was built to represent.

This question has been quite important since it was first asked over a month ago. Tonight we got to hear the answer, in Latin, from Richard. He said, "He who will save us all." This same latin is the phrase that Jacob weaves on his tapestry as well. So will Jacob save them all? Follow the jump to see it again.

Well, part of being a fan of Lost, and making the occasional predictions means you're sometimes wrong. I've been claiming for most of the season now, since we first caught the back of the statue, that it was the Egyptian god Anubis. Tonight, we finally got to see the front of the statue, and it is very clear now that it was not Anubis at all. It appears, as best as I can tell, that the statue is either Sobek or Taweret. For more great information on both, follow the jump.

The season 5 finale started out tonight following a young man who we eventually realized was Jacob. His rival, wearing a black shirt while Jacob wore white, showed up just as the Black Rock was arriving. The two had some words and the rival expressed his desire to kill Jacob, and that he would find a loophole, and Jacob made it very clear that he would be waiting right there, under the statue, whenever the rival was ready. Follow the jump to rewatch the opening scene.

LOST has been firing on all cylinders as of late, keeping a frantic pace leading up to the season finale. Tonight's two part issue brings with it the conclusion of LOST's fifth season. There is sure to be a lot of action, mystery, death and game changing in "The Incident". What remains to be seen, is whether or not our time traveling losties have the ability to alter the past. Or, has what happens, always happened? Prepare to have your minds blown with the exciting season finale, "The Incident". Details after the jump.

This summer marks the beginning of a very long hiatus that will lead us directly to the end of Lost, a very bitter sweet buildup for fans of Lost everywhere. In the past, the hiatus has been a nice break for some of us to escape the world of Lost for a few months before being sucked back in to our great little community. But this summer will be different for some of you who chose to join us over the long hiatus. I will be hosting a rewatching lost series at our good friend Docarzt's Lost Blog site this summer, and Sledgeweb's Lost Stuff will be directly involved in the festivities. To get the details on just what reWatching Lost will be and how you can be a part of it, follow the jump to the rest of the article.

In one of the best scenes of the night Dr. Chang busts in on Miles, Jin, and Hurley getting ready to flee dharmaville. Chang wants to know if they're really from the future, and Hurley awkwardly denies it. Chang knows just the question to ask too, first asking when Hurley was born, and finally asking him who was the president. You can see Hurley struggling for just a moment before he spills the beans. What's even more funny is that when they arrived at Dharmaville, Hurley asked Sawyer what he should do if they ask him questions, like who the president is. And Sawyer just responded wtih this isn't a gameshow. See! If Sawyer had just told him who the president was, Hurley could have pulled it off!

Tonight Charles seemed to indicate that Ellie was pregnant at the camp. In the video after the jump you can barely hear the sound, but Charles puts his hand on Ellie's stomach and says "not in your condition." This isn't necessarily a huge reveal, since it seems obvious that she would be pregnant with Daniel at this point in time, but it is something that some people might have missed. Check it out after the jump.

The Locke we saw tonight was certainly a different John Locke than we're used to seeing. Tonight he was assertive, confident, sure of himself, and most of all, he had a plan and a purpose...oh, and a pig. Locke took Richard and Ben to go find himself at the beechcraft, give himself the compass, and give himself the instructions that he knew he'd need in order to fulfill the remainder of his destiny. Kinda weird, huh? I know many of you are screaming paradox, but I hate that word, so I'll be referring to it as spontaneous happenstance from now on. To see the scene again, follow the jump!

"Follow the Leader" ended on quite a dramatic and shocking note tonight as Locke revealed to Ben that he wasn't going to see Jacob to reunite with his people. He was going to see Jacob to kill him. Why? Well, your guess is as good as ours, but at this point the stock answer seems to be "The island told me to do it." What was even more interesting was how troubled Richard seemed to be about taking Locke, and the others to Jacob. It almost made me wonder if Ben wasn't the one originally keeping Jacob locked up (remember when Locke first saw Jacob and he whispered, "save me" to him?). What if Richard has played a part in keeping Jacob locked up as well. And what's more, am I the only one who thought that the island and Jacob were one in the same, or linked together in some way? Follow the jump for this video investigation.

Tonight's episodes of Lost was like an episode on crack, and I mean that in a good way. We're now being led into a finale where Locke is apparantly off on a mission to kill Jacob, and Jack is trying to detonate a hydrogen bomb in order to save his people. If you'd like to get another look at the preview for next week, follow the jump and take a look.
