Nestor Carbonell's Eyes
Alpert, the mysterious character who never ages, will be playing a large role in Season 6.
Nestor Carbonell told TV Guide that he will be appearing in 16 out of the 18 episodes of the final season.
LOST is notorious for not telling the actors what is going to happen in advance, and Nestor says he is “most curious to know” how old Alpert is.
So are we.

This video from ABC shows highlights of what happened before, during, and after the LOST Comic-Con panel.
Fans camped out 13 hours before the panel started, the painting-on-velvet guy plugged his website, and Josh Holloway, Michael Emerson, Nestor Carbonell, Jorge Garcia, and Darlton all chimed in with comments.
Damon and a Hurley impersonator have good ideas for what to do after the show is over:

A bit of this was excerpted in the Comic-Con montage of fan-made movies. Here’s the whole thing. Very clever editing!

LOST Season 6 promo poster, shown at Comic-Con
When a fan first posted video on YouTube which showed the whole LOST event at Comic-Con, ABC asked that the parts showing the video segments played during the panel be removed.
Those segments are now showing up separately on YouTube. But they might get pulled too, so enjoy them while you can.
I think this is all of them, except for the one showing the winner of the theme song contest, but if I find any more, I will post them.
This is an ad for Lost University. Enrollment begins on September 22:
This is Mysteries of the Universe: The Dharma Initiative, a fake quasi-documentary TV show (a take-off on Unexplained Mysteries?) narrated in conspiracy-theory tones. It’s the first in a series, and ABC will be releasing more.
They revealed the promo poster for Season 6:
Here’s a montage of fan-created content, some of it very funny:
Here’s another funny one, Michael Emerson’s fake audition tape for the role of Hurley:
Here are two fake ads which, along with the Kate on America’s Most Wanted clip, seem to have come from an alternate timeline. In the first, Hurley appears as the owner and CEO of Mr. Cluck’s, a fast-food chicken place, plugging a new dish inspired by his “recent trip to Australia.” Best line: “Ever since I won the lottery, I’ve had nothing but good luck.” The other ad is from Oceanic Airlines (motto “Our skies lead to your destiny”), proudly proclaiming “30 years with a perfect safety record.”
This video, done in the style of the annual tribute on the Oscars to notable people who have passed away, is “In Memory of” LOST characters who have died. The longest tribute is to Charlie, which may very well be meant as a tease, if the rumors that Charlie is coming back are true.
The promo poster is from Lostpedia.

Kate on "America's Most Wanted"
In this fake episode of America’s Most Wanted, shown at yesterday’s Comic-Con LOST panel, the show’s host claims that the night Kate blew up her father’s house, her father wasn’t there, but instead had sent his apprentice, Ryan Milner, to the house to lock up. It was Ryan, the host says, not Kate’s father Wayne, who was killed in the explosion.
What to make of this? I see three possibilities:
1. The video does not provide reliable information about the show — it is not “canon.” Comic-con videos have misled fans in the past, or
2. The writers led us to believe that Kate killed Wayne, but that may have been a clever bit of misdirection, prompting us to jump to conclusions that may not have actually been in the script. (Maybe someone who has a better memory than I do of the early shows can confirm if this is even possible), or
3. Kate did kill Wayne and there was no misdirection, but the America’s Most Wanted video came from an alternate (parallel?) time, one which we may enter in Season 6.

Speaking of TV Overmind, I recently contributed an article there, about the hunkalicious Gilles Marini, of “Sex and the City” and “Dancing With the Stars” fame, who is now exploring a new talent: Gilles Marini Finds His Voice
