Here we take a closer look at a few miscellaneous screens from LOST's season 6 premiere, LAX. Included are some books, the ankh, the temple and the new pirate-inspired Others. Let us know if there is anything else to add, as well as your thoughts on the included images in the comments below! All after the jump.

One of the biggest, ok one of the few, real revelations in the season premiere of season six of LOST, LAX, was the identity of the Smoke Monster. It appears that Jacob's rival, the mysterious man in black, is the smoke monster - or has some very close relationship to it. After attacking Jacob's body guards, the UnLocke tells Ben, "Sorry you had to see me like that". Watch the scene again for yourself after the jump, and let us know your thoughts on theories on this new revelation in the comments.

In the opening segment of the final season premiere of LOST, LAX, Rose is seen reading an issue of "Weekly Woodsman". An ad on the back shows a UFO, with tag line, "The Truth is Out There". Is this a hint that alien origins are involved in the mysteries of LOST? Or is Darlton just having fun with us? Maybe we shouldn't look into these things to seriously... but it is LOST. Right?

A nice easter egg for long-time lost fans was found in the opening sequence of the Season Six Premiere. In what appears to be an alternate universe, Jack et al are back on 815 and enroute to Los Angeles - safely. The camera dives below the clouds, into the ocean and reveals the island deep underwater. A quick shot of the infamous Dharma Shark greets eagle-eyed viewers before the camera pans around to reveal the (also infamous) four toed statue.

Season 6 got off to a confusing start. Take a look at the preview trailer for next week's offering, 6x02, "What Kate Does" to try and gain more clarity. What us know what you think of the preview in the comments below!

ABC has released the 14th pomo for the upcoming season and a new image has been found. In the promo Claire can be seen aiming a gun at an unknown person. This image does not give us much new information other than we do see Clarie again in season 6 and she does not look like zombie claire. Of course we have no idea if this is after a reboot of the timeline, a flashback, flashforward of present time Claire. It is difficult to know when is when on this show. There are also two phrases seen in the clip. The first one is "Everything Changes". This hints at a redo of the time line after Juliet explodes the hydrogen bomb. The second phrase states "Plant a good seed and you will joyfully gather fruit". You are going to have to guess at that meaning of that quote. You can do that below in the comment section. After the break you can see the entire new promo.

ABC just confirmed that Lost will kick off its sixth and final season with a two-hour premiere on Tuesday, Feb. 2 from 8-10 central. The night will start off with its annual recap episode at 7:00 pm central. It will then settle into its regular spot at 8:00 central on Tuesday nights.After the jump find out who will be regulars on the show and who is coming back in limited roles. Some of you may consider this information as spoilers. You have been warned!

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.
