'Lost' Dueling Analysis: 'LA X, Parts 1 and 2'
In which Jen Chaney and I return to our friendly debate (and dissection) of TV's densest (in a good way) TV show. Read, add your thoughts in the comments section, then join us at 2 p.m. ET for the first "Lost" Hour chat of the season. The resurrected Esau (Terry O'Quinn, right) confronts Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell). (ABC) Jen: Like Jack Shephard while on his rebooted Oceanic 815 flight, I can't quite shake the feeling we've been here before. Oh, that's because we have: sitting in front of our laptops at an ungodly hour, trying to tap-tap-tap our way into making some sense of what we just saw in a two-hour season premiere of "Lost." But something is different this time. This time we know we're in the home stretch, hurtling toward the end (sniff) of "Lost" and, hopefully, some answers. The first indication we might be getting answers?...

Time to get "Lost"
Ben (Michael Emerson) sticks it to Jacob (Mark Pellegrino) in a scene from last season's finale. (ABC) Just hours away from tonight's season six premiere episode, Jen Chaney and I channeled the collective angst of the hardcore "Lost" viewer in today's Style section of The Washington Post: We have gone through a great deal to get to this day and this moment. Plane crashes. Smoke monster attacks. Nosebleed-inducing time travel. Untimely deaths whose causes have included, but are not limited to, drowning, gunshot wounds, flaming arrows, poisonous spiders and the unfortunate handling of live dynamite sticks. But we made it. And now here we are, just a few hours away from the sixth and final season of "Lost," the ABC show that has kept an obsessed mass of viewers glued to our televisions (and the Internet, which helps us understand what happened during the "Lost" episodes we just watched...

'Lost' spoilerage: Sneak peeks abound
Over the weekend, a lucky crowd of "Lost" faithful actually got to watch the season's two-hour premiere episode projected on a massive screen on a Waikiki beach accompanied by none other than the show's stars. Sigh. To ease a bit of everyone else's snowbound sorrow, ABC released a new show promo, a couple of clips and the first few minutes of season six's first episode (to the winners in ABC's "Message in a Bottle" sweepstakes, who received said clip on what has to be the coolest flash drive ever). Within, oh, a couple of milliseconds, it wound up on the Internet. You'll find it embedded below along with the rest of the newly-released footage. It goes without saying that these are NOT something to watch if you're at all SPOILER averse. So move right along if you'd rather limit your exposure ahead of Tuesday evening's premiere broadcast (9 - 11...

'Lost' Weekend: Prepping for the season premiere
In a scene from last season's finale, John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) heads out in search of Jacob. (ABC) Ready or not, "Lost" returns for its sixth and final season Tuesday (9 - 11 p.m. ET on ABC). But, wait, where were we? For that matter, when were we? If you haven't spent the last eight months immersing yourself in show lore, we'll find it in our hearts to forgive you. In fact, we'll even rescue you with a weekend crash course designed to get you caught up and ready to hit the ground -- or island -- running by Tuesday. Gallery -- Where we left off: From Jack to Jin to Juliet (and all of the non-J-named characters, too), start by perusing this pictorial review that explains where the main players ended up at the close of season five. Episodes online: Have a spare 17 hours? Watch season five...

Talking with 'Lost's' Jeff Fahey: part 2
Jeff Fahey in a promo shot for 'Lost's' sixth season. (ABC) Here at Celebritology, Liz and I take our star-gazing, movie fandom and "Lost"-watching very seriously. But even we know that, as the recent devastation in Haiti demonstrates, important international issues often (and should) take precedence over the latest gossipy whispers about Tiger Woods or the Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien debacle. Our recent interview with Jeff Fahey, the video portion of which we shared yesterday, was a reminder of that. In addition to starring in films like "Silverado" and "The Lawnmower Man" -- not to mention trying to figure out what lies in the shadow of the statue in his role on "Lost" -- Fahey has long devoted much of his time to assisting individuals and organizations in post-conflict areas, particularly Afghanistan. In more recent months, he has added another issue to his plate: the rights of Sahwari refugees forced...

Talking with 'Lost's' Jeff Fahey: Part 1
Jeff Fahey may have been a latecomer to the "Lost" party, joining the show in season four, but he quickly became a fan favorite. In the show's upcoming sixth and final season, the veteran actor -- who plays rough-and-ready pilot Frank Lapidus -- joins the cast as a regular. On Tuesday, Jen Chaney and I sat down with Fahey to discuss what those highly anticipated final episodes of "Lost" -- which will debut without interruption from the president on Feb. 2 -- will mean for the man who *almost* flew our Losties to Guam. We also talked extensively with Fahey about his work on refugee issues, an issue we'll cover in part two of this interview, to be posted here tomorrow. (We also managed to sneak in a couple of questions about Fahey's role in Robert Rodriguez's "Grindhouse"-inspired "Machete.") For now, watch this video to get Fahey's take on the...
