ABC is planning a “Lost” weekend: The network has just scheduled a repeat showing of the show’s two-hour 2004 pilot for the night before its finale.
The J.J. Abrams-directed, $10 million-plus spectacular will air Saturday, May 22 from 8-10 p.m., ABC told affiliates today. The two-hour finale will air the following evening from 9-11 p.m.
This brings the total number of “Lost” hours ABC is planning for the week of May 17 to 10. There’s the penultimate episode of May 19; the pilot encore on May 22; a two-hour pre-show/recap on May 23; the finale itself; and “Jimmy Kimmel: After the Final Rose” (also on May 23).
We invite you to join us every Sunday here at SL-LOST.com to rewatch and debate about LOST’s top 10 episodes. The rewatch began last week and will end on January 31, 2010, two days before the premiere of LOST’s final season.
As “Lost’s” plot skips back and forth through time and boomerangs around the globe, we capture the action in this interactive timeline — allowing you to explore the show by year, location or season. Remember, locations and dates are based on information gathered from the show and should be considered approximate (and fictional). And we know we missed a few — so please submit more!

On September 22nd, 2004 LOST premiered on ABC, a day which, I’m sure, many of you remember. How did you feel the first time you watched LOST? We’d love to hear your story.
IO9 has published some scans of the official book “LOST: Messages from the Island: The Best of The Official Lost Magazine”, which will be released on June 30. The original concept art shows the tail section of Oceanic 815 was originally supposed to crashland on the same beach as the rest of the plane:
The official description of the book:
This companion, from the pages of Lost: The Official Magazine, gives an insight into the world of the smash-hit ABC show and includes cast and crew interviews, character profiles and features on various aspects of life on ‘the island’. A must-have book for any fan.
From the producer of box office smash Cloverfield and the TV series Alias, JJ Abrams’ Lost is one of the most successful television shows of recent years: Part survival drama, part mystery thriller and part character study.
After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, its survivors are caught up in a fight to survive. Can the rag-tag group unravel the island’s secrets and find a way to escape, or will they remain lost forever?
Lost: Messages from the Island also features a brand-new foreword by Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
Tvshowsondvd.com is reporting that both seasons are coming on Blu-ray on June 16th:
This past January a press release was issued by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment at the CES show, detailing their Blu-ray Disc plans for 2009. Among those plans were high-definition releases for the first two seasons of Lost, but no timetable or details were given at the time. Today, just a short time ago, the studio formally announced two separate Blu-ray Disc releases, one for the rookie year, and one for the sophomore year of the show.
June 16th will see the release of both Lost - The Complete 1st Season on Blu-ray Disc, AND the high-def version of Lost - The Complete 2nd Season: The Extended Experience. Each will be priced at $69.99 SRP (which is what the fourth season on Blu went for, and we expect the fifth season BD set - already up for pre-order, but without a release date - to get adjusted to that price when it gets formally announced). All episodes on both sets will be presented in high definition 1080p resolution. Audio on the episodes is available in Uncompressed English 5.1, with options available in English and French 5.1 Dolby Digital, and Spanish 2.0 Dolby Digital. English, French and Spanish subtitles are also boarding for this flight.
All the bonus material from the DVD releases appears to be intact, presented in 480i video resolution and English 5.1 Dolby Digital sound, and with subtitle options in English, French and Spanish. No word about any new-to-Blu extras is mentioned, but it’s noted that the current information is still subject to change.
Mary Ann Taheny, the Hawaii-based actress who played the role of Jenna (the Oceanic Airlines gate 23 attendant) back in Season One, reappeared on last night’s episode “Jughead” as a secretary at Oxford University.
According to ABC’s official press release for this episode, she was playing a different character, called Moira.
