CCI: "Lost" panel (almost) in full

Courtesy of YouTube user Tostie14, here is the entire live presentation from the "Lost" panel at Comic-Con International hosted by writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. ABC won't allow the pre-taped portions to be legally posted online, so they are omitted. This is a highly entertaining presentation for hardcore Losties and includes appearances from some of our favorite people -- including a huge surprise at the end.

Here it is, in four parts. The last pre-taped segment that is omitted is a tribute to "Lost's" deceased characters -- and it ends with Charlie Pace. (Scroll down for highlights if you don't have time to watch.)

WARNING: Parts 3 and 4 include some salty language.

Highlights:

• Jughead's detonation will not result in a "reset" of the show, but Season 6 won't have flashbacks -- it will be constructed in a new fashion. I'm guessing that means detonating Jughead created an alternate timeline, and we'll flash between the two.

• Richard Alpert's backstory will be explained.

• Elizabeth Mitchell will return as Juliet.

• Jacob has not appeared to the audience or the characters in any form other than himself -- this means the apparitions we've seen are either the Man in Black and/or the Smoke Monster.

• To quote Damon Lindelof, "many characters we haven't seen since Season 1" will come back in Season 6.

• The DHARMA Initiative's role in the story will be scaled back, but we will learn where the food-drops came from.

• Nothing was said about Locke's future (or lack thereof), unfortunately.

• Dominic Monaghan's appearance was not explained, but we can all assume what it means, can't we?
