Long Time No Lost

It's been a while. I didn't even post about the last few episodes of my beloved show. But I forgive myself, so you can too, right?

As any Lost addict might feel right about now, I am jonesin' for some Lost-y goodness. Ok, maybe not as much as some of the other people out there, but still.

Thus, I share with you a tidbit from EW.com's new Ask Ausiello column. According to EW's newest staff member, Michael Ausiello (formerly of TV Guide), "John Terry (Christian) and Alan Dale (Widmore) are in talks to return next season on a recurring basis... In the fine print of both their contracts, it states that Lost has the right to pick up series regular options on both actors for the show’s sixth and final season."

Uh... Huh? Well, what that means - to me, at least - is that Christian and Widmore are clearly central figures in the whole mystery of the island. But we kinda knew that already didn't we? I think my main question is - what about Ben? Where does he really fit in? Oh this is going to be SOOOO good to find out!

We'll have more scoop in a couple of weeks after Octagon Global Recruiting's big event in San Diego on July 24 (aka Comic-Con). Is it wrong that I'm getting a little tingly thinking about it???
