( Push the Bloody Button, Brutha!! )COULD CONTAIN SPOILERS, but who knows at this point what's going to happen?!?!
SEASON 6 INFO:
- season six seems set to feature an alternate reality, three viral commercials/promos were shown.
The first was an ad for Oceanic Air that noted that the company was founded in 1979 (which, based on the '70s timeline from season five, should hit this year).
The second was an ad for Mr. Cluck's Chicken, now owned by Hurley and how did he get the inspiration for his new meal? While on a trip to Australia. Oh, and he's had nothing but great luck since winning the lotto.
The last video was a clip from an episode of "America's Most Wanted" focused on Kate Austen who, though she tried to kill her stepfather, killed a plumber named Ryan Milner by mistake.
After the video, Jorge Garcia made a surprise appearance, posing a fan asking a question. He demanded Damon and Lindelof explain what's going on, saying that, if everything is different in season six, does that mean the first five seasons have been a cheat? The pair said, "Jorge, you're just going to have to trust us."
"The last time I trusted you guys," he shot back, "you said that Nikki and Paulo were going to be awesome."
When Garcia tried to ask further questions, he was stopped by another surprise guest, Michael Emerson, who started an argument which, Garcia claimed, he was only doing because Emerson originally wanted the Hurley part. Then they screened a fake video featuring Emerson's original audition for the Hurley part.
Other tidbits included the revelation that both Jeremy Davies and Elizabeth Mitchell will be back for season six. The point was also made that the final season will be its own entity.
"The time travel season is over," said Cuse, "Flashforward season is over. You're going to see something different."
Other surprise guests included Nestor Carbonell and Josh Holloway, the latter of whom burst onto stage to steal the final scene of "Lost," allegedly locked in a box on-stage by Cuse and Lindelof but stole it only to reveal the gag that it was actually the final scene for "Heroes".
The panel ended with Dominic Monaghan taking the stage, but not joining the panel. Is Charlie back??
The ENTIRE SDCC LOST panel can be found in several parts with Part I here:

Jorge appears at 4:40 or so in part II.
I love the commercial with Hurley as there are great easter eggs in there, especially with the looks of a few of the guests eating at his restaurant.....
Characters from LOST as superheroes!! USA Today has a hilarious blog describing what superheroes
This is made of awesome and the pic they use of Emerson is a riot. He still gets my vote for playing the Riddler in a third Batman movie.
also some other goodies:

..yeah, I think i'll probably pass on these. Not that they look bad, as I think the faces look okay, but the joints and whatnot just look cheap.
Also, my buddy got this for me at the San Diego Comic Con:
At any rate, I hope all of you are having a great summer!! When a season 6 promo is released, I'll let you folks know.
take it easy!!!
