I’m not sure why, but Matthew is no longer listed as being on Letterman or Regis and Kelly this week. I’ll record them just in case it is a mistake.

HONOLULU – More than 10,000 fans greeted the cast of “Lost” on Waikiki Beach and were treated to a special screening of upcoming season premiere. Here are some photos of the event:

‘Lost’: Michael and Libby will be back! Plus: The cast’s fave moments!

The cast and producers of Lost spoke this morning at the TCA press tour about the show’s final season, set to premiere on Feb. 2. Showrunner Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof announced that Michael Perrineau (Michael) and Cynthia Watros (Libby) will be back during the climactic sweep of story — two characters we thought were dead. “The season premiere picks up right after the finale,” said Cuse, and then begged off from elaborating.

When the cast was asked about the premiere, Josh Holloway (Sawyer) said, “It’s big,” and Emilie de Ravin (Claire) added, “I had to read the premiere three times for it to make sense.” Her choice of words was interpreted by press (and Lindelof) to mean that the premiere is confusing. “That’s not helping!” Lindelof said with a laugh. “Get ready to be confused, America!” (The actress quickly clarified that the premiere is packed with info and developments, not that it’s incoherent.)

Cuse promised season 6 will be accessible for viewers who dropped away after the first couple seasons but are curious about how the whole series will turn out: “We’re doing something different in the narrative that doesn’t require deep and vast knowledge to get.” He said that those well-versed with season 1 will be well-positioned to be entertained by the final season. Cuse added that the end of Lost is not designed to launch a spin-off or continuation of the series, saying, “There’s no implanted sequel, no backdoor pilot.”

In addition, Cuse hinted that some upcoming promotions will offer more season 6 teases, and mentioned that mysterious bottles will be showing up with some clips from the premiere.

The cast and producers also talked about favorite moments or episodes:

Emilie de Ravin (Claire): “My favorite moments are when we’re all together, the original cast, hanging out like the old days. It’s nice getting back to that now [with the scenes the actors are shooting].”

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin): “The finale of the first season, the launching of the raft.”

Josh Holloway (Sawyer): “I like group scenes. They take two, three days to film. But if you position yourself just right while they’re shooting, you can cut up and have fun. I’ve become quite good at positioning myself to have that kind of fun.”

Evangeline Lilly (Kate): “Sangria Thursdays. It’s become a Season 6 tradition.” Her fave episode: “Do No Harm,” in which Claire gave birth and Boone died. “That episode that sort of culminated everything the show represented. I remember thinking ‘This is something I am proud to be part of.’”

Terry O’Quinn (Locke): “Sitting under the banyan trees, listening to Naveen [Andrews, aka Sayid] as he plays guitar and everyone sings.”

Michael Emerson (Ben): “I have many fond memories of breathless confrontations in small rooms. Jacob’s hatch, Widmore’s bedroom.” He said his defining moment was Season 3, when Ben took Sawyer up to the ridge and revealed they were on Hydra Island “Standing on the cliff, trading quotes from Steinbeck, and I had a rabbit in backpack. It was so absurd and majestic.”

Jorge Garcia (Hurley): The moment that came to mind was “the comet hitting Mr. Cluck’s and I’m laying there and they’re throwing raw chicken parts at me.”

Today was ABC’s day at the Television Critics Association press tour, which meant one thing: Lost. Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof and most of the cast were there to answer questions, but if you’re looking for major details on season 6, you won’t find them here. Or anywhere.

We’re just three weeks away from the big premiere, and there’s still very little on what exactly will be happening in the final season. ABC still hasn’t provided anything: no episodic photos, no descriptive episode synopsis, no video clips, which leads me to conclude that season 6 is so insane that even the slightest glimpse will be a huge spoiler.

However, there were a few juicy nuggets to come out of the press tour panel.

-You can add Harold Perrineau (Michael) and Cynthia Watros (Libby) to the long list of former Lost stars returning for the final season. But as Cuse and Lindelof are constant deceivers, details were hazy. Cuse claimed all our unanswered Libby questions would be solved, while Lindelof said that was completely untrue. All we know for sure is that one of them is a liar.

-The final season will pick up right where season 5 ended. Since it ended with an exploding bomb, that could be the least helpful spoiler of all time.

-Cuse and Lindelof did say something rather interesting, that the best preparation would be rewatching the first season. Based solely on that, it definitely seems like we’re heading to a “back to the beginning” style final season.

-Emilie de Ravin claims she had to read the season 6 premiere script three times before fully understanding what happens. So either she was a bit rusty on Lost scripts, or this is going to be a complex mental battle.

-In one of those moments where someone might accidentally reveal something, there was an interesting moment when Terry O’Quinn was explaining that he didn’t know that he wasn’t really Locke during last season. Lindelof claimed it was easier not to tell him than to explain that “Thousands and thousands of years ago…” In other words, we now have some sort of time frame context for Jacob and his enemy, and it’s a really long time ago.

-While we still haven’t seen any clips or photos from the new season, we were promised that there will be something new before the premiere.

The final season of Lost premieres February 2 at 9pm on ABC.
