desmond said i'm leaving becuas i'm assuming locke came to him too, and he knew he had to gt back on the island. which ucks cuz he said i'll never leave you again. which we know he is probably going to do now. ah well, if the island wants you back...

alright... that was nuts. first of all, Locke is dead in the coffin back in LA when Jack visits him... but he's alive on the island? or is that just before they might all return to the island? idk... but the fires and crap could be from those guys who blew up the island in the season 4 finale unless that huge ass dude ended up dying in the end. i gotta refresh. so stoked though!! gonna be sickk

The Monk looks like it could be Ms Hawking to me

People should check out www.ajiraairways.com once again...save the background to see the complete image and i think the map beneath the plane is similar to the map on the screencap with the pendelum above it!!!

Do you think that "Event Window Determined" means that they figured out the window of time that it's possible to get back to the island (maybe in a specific way or from a specific place?)

Jeb Loves Lost: Wow. That's detailed! You noticed more things than I did. It made me love the promo even more!

So you'll know just what i'm talking about, i'm putting a timestamp along with each bit of overanalyzing for clarity

0:02-0:03 Backwards voices audio between the title card and Ben spinning the wagon wheel - It didn't take long for the sl-lost folks to be all over this. With the audio is reversed (and looped) Locke is saying "WHEN am I?" This going right with all the time shifting themes from the "The Constant" and onwards. I also think its funny that the creators knew simply running voices backwards would be too obvious for Lost junkies so they chopped it up so one would haveto loop it to get the full effect. Check out sl-lost for both versions of the reversed audio http://www.sl-lost.com/2008/12/19/reversed-audi...

0:05-0:06 Faraday says "I know what's happening". Makes sense given that he is the resident physicist and time shifting expert on the island

0:07-0:08 Some character becomes fodder for Smokie as he's dragged through the jungle. Side note - if you haven't experienced the greatness of the smoke monster interview you should check it out http://www.truveo.com/LOST-Hiatus-Video-20-Funn... (caution - explicit lyrics)

0:08 Clock flips to 8:15 - who doesn't love references to the numbers

0:09 Who is this baby? My guess is that it is Charlotte (red head zoolgist that Faraday is soooooo in love with). Reasons 1) the person is the background looks very "others"ie and 2) It's been fairly werll establish by the powers that be that charlotte's reason for going to the island is to reconnect with her birthplace

0:12-0:14 Locke in the rain...alone...just weird to go rapid fire clips then spend 3 seconds on something if it isn't somehow significant....

0:15 pendulum sighting....with weird star looking things and mathy notations....what??????

0:16-0:17 is this a monk doing math in the near dark...ummm huh?? Look like so grey spiked up bangs (a la 1992 teenager) in the front

0:17 I think this is Faraday's boat coming back to the island from the exploded freighter - this is a plot hole I'm anxious to see rectified. While Faraday is the only named character on that boat (see There's No Place Like Home Part 1), if the island disappears how does he end up back on the island (as we've seen in other promos)

0:20 *%$!ing pendulum again this time with dharma-stationish (hatchish) equipment in the background - I'm going to make the little leap that the previous pendulum sighting was in the dharma era as well

0:22 Someone (my guess Widmore thug) being tossed off the balcony at the safehouse (determined this is the safehouse from previous promo clips of Sayid and Hurley there)

0:23-0:24 Someone coming up out of the water - my wife and I have decided it looks most like Jack. Problem with that is trying to figure out when he would have ever been in that situation. Seems most like its someone coming up out of the water after the crash. Problem - he woke up in the jungle in the shows first episode. I think this all supports the "time shifting" and "rerunning the same events with different people in different roles" theories

0:26-0:27 Does Desmond say "i'm leaving?" I'm so confused as to what this would mean

0:29 Random person preparing to shoot some other random (offscreen) person - now THAT is some serious analysis

0:30-0:31 "Dead on the island" Claire to Kate: "You can't bring him back, Kate" This is the second warning to Kate to this effect. Whatever powers that Claire is involved with seem to be at cross paths with trying to get everyone back. Why? Discuss.....

0:32-0:33 Don't make smokey angry. He (or she) will torpedo the water you're walking next to. Did I mention you need to watch the smokey interview. And the follow up

0:34 creepy math monk + dharma computer = the skyrocketing of my enthusiasm for the season premeire

0:35-0:38 Clearly the "some bad things happened after you left" that future Locke (Jeremy Bentham) told Jack to make him go all crazy drunk pill popper again

0:41-0:43 Sawyer = a Han Solo that cries = pure greatness

0:44 OMG NOW THE WILL HUNTING OF MONKS IS ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE COMPUTER

0:57-0:59 The ABC logo scrambles/fades to the person working at the computer with the screen very clearly saying "EVENT WINDOW DETERMINED" I'm thinkin electromagnetic event like that talked at the end of season 2 as the original dharam station (hatch) blew up. You should also note the little star things on the map like on the floor with the pendulum at 0:15. There are some frames in there around 0:58 that are a tight shot of chalkboard writing. Way hard to make anything out though.

It's only a minute - but it packs a heck of a punch

This was definetly my favorite promo!!! I'm dying to see what happens!! I love how that one person catches on fire! I wonder who it is?

wow so hyped up cant wait!

is someone going take screenshots theres alot of flashing between shots would like to see some but cant b assed doing screenshots meh someone will do it of youtube.

/end random rant

..is that Daniel at the beginning saying " I know what'a happening "

So the compass belonged to Locke, from the items Richard showed him as a kid?

i dont know if anyone has noticed but the castaways seem to think that the losties on the helicopter are dead ? of corse i was thinking why saywer says all my friends are dead, he thinks kate jack sun hurly ect are dead cos of the boat getting blown up, omg this season looks the best so far :)

i cant wait

"blew up on your damn boat!" and he is almost crying!! OMG, I just can't wait! thanks for posting!

more of this mind-blowing stuff, please!!

Thanks! (L)

Everyone i cared about blew up on your damn boat.

thats what sawyer says

What does Sawyer say to Dan please?

"When January 21st arrives and we all will watch the first 5 minutes! of the season premirere! we all will be in SHOCK!"

I'm in shock NOW!
