Maybe that’s the true gift of “Lost”: In this digital, multimedia age, in which we’re all allegedly off in our own, solitary worlds, pursuing our own interests, loving “Lost” is a communal, interactive experience. It doesn’t matter if your water-cooler is virtual or real — this is a show that you just have to discuss with other people.
That’s Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune on Lost, which returns to TV in six days and change. A looming deadline—and preparation for a weekend panel on, of course, Lost—prevents me from writing more about the premiere right now. So instead of keeping you waiting I’ll just kick off LDG by pointing you to Mo’s long interview with Cuse and Lindelof and let you take it from there.
One important element of the premiere which they touch on—no big spoiler here—is the time element, which gets yet another twist. So when do you think everybody is?
