Naveen Andrews (Sayid Jarrah) has signed on to a guest spot on Law & Order: SVU. He must have a break in his Lost filming. Hopefully it's not a permanent break.

TMZ reports that Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit that was filed by a former production staffer back in April. Many of us wondered if this harassment actually took place. See our comments back then: Lost Star Accused of Harassment and add your comments now.

There have been a lot of problems in the past with Lost running reruns and skipping weeks. So it was decided that they would run consecutive episodes. Then the writers strike hit and broke up season 4. Season 5 had a break between Episode 5x8, LaFleur, and Episode 5x9, Namaste. And now it looks like season 6 will be interrupted by the Olympics.

We still don't have a start date or even a day of the week for Lost. All we know so far is that the season will be 18 hours long with a two hour premiere and a two hour finale. It should start early January, take a break for the Olympics, and then return in February and end during May sweeps.

We only have one season finale to go and it will be the SERIES finale! It's just so sad, but all of the season finales have been great. Which was your favorite?

I'm guessing that the season 6 premiere will be the best, but we'll have to wait and see. As far as the Lost finales, season 3 was voted the best, followed closely by the season 5 finale (poll results). So which premiere was the best?

Lost Season Premieres
1. Episode 1x1, Pilot Part 1:
   • Jack wakes in the jungle

   • There is something scary in the jungle

   • There is a man inside the hatch
   • Jack meets Desmond and realizes that they'd met before, off the island
   • Shannon thinks she sees a dripping wet Walt in the jungle

   • The others see Flight 815 break apart in the sky
   • Sawyer and Kate are kept by the Others in cages

   • Off the island, Hurley sees Charlie and Charlie tells him to go back
   • Hurley sees someone in the cabin
   • Everyone finds out that Charlie is dead
   • Naomi dies after sending a message to the freighter
   • Two groups are formed, one with Jack that goes back to the beach and one with Locke that goes to the Barracks
   • Daniel parachutes onto the island
5. Episode 5x1, Because You Left:
   • The Oceanic 6 are off the island
   • There is a fair amount of time skipping going on
   • Daniel finds Desmond and tells him to find his mother at Oxford
   • Locke sees the Nigerian plane crash and is shot by Ethan and then helped by Richard

I can't decide whether to go as the smoke monster (most fun) or Juliet (my favorite character).

Knowing that this is the last Halloween that it will be, well, not obsessive to dress up as a Lost character, just adds to the pressure.

I can't promise that I won't dress up as a Lost character next year, or the year after that, but even fans of the show might think that is crazy.

Tips for 'Lost' Halloween Costumes

Almost since television was invented there have been mega fans of shows. These people might go to conventions, talk to other fans, and watch episodes over and over again. It became easier to chat with other fans with the invention of the internet. I've never been an obsessed fan, until now. Until Lost came along I was your average, casual television viewer.

Now, I have a whole Web site dedicated to the show, I follow Lost blogs, and listen to Lost podcasts, and I think about the show several times a day. I am completely obsessed with Lost.

Readers of Totalscifionline.com and Lost Magazine have voted Ben Linus as the show's top Bad Guy and I totally agree. I voted for Ben.

He's a very complex villain and Michael Emerson is brilliant at playing him. We can hate Ben and then feel sorry for him, all within the same episode.

Ethan Rom and Charles Widmore received the second and third amount of votes, while there were also votes for Juliet, Sawyer, Locke, Jack, and Vincent the dog. They thought it was funny that a dog got votes, but seriously, Vincent could be the biggest villain ever. We'll find out in 2010.

The villain-themed issued of Lost Magazine hit shelves on October 13th and will be available on the 29th in the UK. Happy Halloween!

Do you agree that Ben is the best Bad Guy?

The Lost Island is full of mystery and acts as another character to the story of Lost.

It appears that people have been living on the island for many years, back into ancient times, and that there has always been disagreements between them, as there are now between the survivors of 815 and the Others.

Well, this is a first, but it shows how much pull co-executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have and how popular Lost is. There will be no, not even a little, glimpse into season 6 on ABC.

Normally, we'd be seeing promos that tease about the next season, but it turns out that the first few episodes are so revealing, that there is nothing they can show that wouldn't give the whole thing away.

It's extremely unusual for the networks to let the show runners dictate how a show is promoted, but Damon and Carlton have earned respect among the decision makers at ABC, not to mention that Lost is a show unlike any other.

I imagine we'll still see commercials promoting Lost the Final Season, but they will be clips from past seasons.

Even though we don't have footage of Lost season 6, we still have Lost spoilers. Take a look if you want to know.
