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 begins today and will end on January 31, 2010, two days before the premiere of LOST’s final season.

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 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.
