I was under the impression that this was indeed the last season of Lost.

Yeah, I'm reading spoilers since I haven't seen these episodes. I'd have tried to catch up but Disney/Go/ABC's stupid page only lets you see the last 5 episodes and wants to download some crap onto your computer just to play it .. so much for that. I might see it if/when my roommate buys the DVD set since he has the other 4 seasons.
