Lost E-Mail Update

Dear Frequent Flyer —

Greetings from the Writers' Room of Lost!

Well, folks, our September 21st premiere is almost upon us, and both the writers' room in Burbank and the production in O'ahu are working at a fever pitch to keep you in televisual goodness for the coming season.

Additionally, the good folk over at Entertainment Weekly magazine will be running a special advertising section on their September 16 edition (which will be available in newsstands on Monday, September 12). Inside will be an exclusive series of specially designed Lost trading cards.

Created with the help of the show's writers (that's us), the cards feature character information - both from the island and before the crash - as well as information about Flight 815, the mysterious hatch... and a few special surprises (but no, they won't tell you what's actually INSIDE the hatch — you're gonna have to tune in for that!).

There are 27 cards in total, and each issue will feature a set of nine for your trading enjoyment! Now, we know what you are thinking — "surely you aren't just sending us this email to sell us trading cards — right?" Right.

So here is a little more information about some of our upcoming episodes. Many of you frequent flyers already know the titles and writers of our first three episodes... and now, here are four and five!

Episode four will be titled "Everybody Hates Hugo," written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, and directed by Alan Taylor. Episode five will be titled "...and Found," written by Executive Producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof — and if you've been watching, you probably know which characters will be featured in flashbacks therein — the clues are in the titles!

We hope you will join us on September 21st — until then, thanks for getting Lost with us!

I'm on the fence whether or not to buy this magazine, I get TV Guide, Giant, New York, FHM, Maxim, eWeek, Natural History, Smithsonian and half a dozen more. This may be one too many mags for me.
