Are you still "Lost"?

The fine folks over at ABC have posted a recently recorded "Lost" podcast from a fan q/a session conducted at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Little of the recording is insightful, but a few interesting points caught my attention. And for those who haven't completed season 2, these items are not spoilers.

First, the production team confirmed that season 3 will run in two parts -- a six-week run in the fall of this year and the rest coming after the first of the year. There will not be the lousy guesswork of reruns we suffered through in season 2.

Second, mastermind JJ Abrams -- who was instrumental in making season 1 such a treat -- will return to pen the opening episodes of each half of season 3.

Third, one of the geeks asked how many total days the entire program would cover. The questioner figured up a possible number of days the castaways had lived on the island during seasons 1 and 2. One of the production team indicated that season 3 would include plot lines making us rethink the whole notion of time as it occurs on The Island.

And finally, the writers are cooking up a self-proclaimed "Jump The Shark" moment (likely to occur at the end of the fall) to completely "fry our brains" about our entire understanding of "Lost."

How cool is that?
