Lost show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are here to take your fan questions here and, apparently, give out relevant prizes, and it'll all be liveblogged here!
Q's and A's are paraphrased. This will be updated frequently, so check back often. Vids of key moments coming soon.
Q: When the hatch imploded and the sky turned purple? Did the Island move then?
A: No. But something happened. Prize: Oceanic water bottle.
Q: What is the fate of Jin and Locke?
A: Jin will still be on the show in some form. You've not seen the last of either of those characters. Prize: Jin panda bear.
Q: Best episode and best season, in your opinion?
Carlton: "The Constant" is my favorite episode, and season one.
Damon: "Exodus" and the raft launch before the show disintegrated into utter despair. I also like season four. Prize: Apollo bar and Apollo bar T-shirt.
Q: What's up with the reflection in the season four promos where the city was in the reflection in the water?
A: That was all about the Oceanic Six getting off the Island. Prize: Heroes DVD
Q: Will there be a Rousseau flashback?
A: We will see Rousseau's story, to use the word flashback might be disingenious. Damon: We're steering away from the flashes. Prize: I Am Lost luggage tags.
Q: What's up with the actors strike?
A: We're supposed to start in three weeks at least until further notice changes that plan. Prize: Photo of Nikki & Paolo.
Q: Any special guests this year?
A: No actors. Sorry. Prize: Actor-signed DVD box set.
Q: What happened to Vincent?
A: What about what happened the Island and Sawyer and Juliet? Vincent's OK and will appear in season five. Safe to say: Vincent's gonna make it to the end. Prize: Little polar bear.
Q: Are Jack and Kate your show's one true pariring?
A: Carlton: Personally I like those two, professionally I'm going to take the Fifth. Prize: Jack action figure.
Ah, we've been had again. MATTHEW FOX is so totally here. Photos coming soon!
Q: Will Kate ever see Sawyer again?
DL: Not if Jack has anything to say about it. CC: Yes. Kate will see Sawyer again. Prize: Signed poster.
Q: What happened to non-speaking "beachies" who were ferried over to the blowed-up boat from the season four finale?
A: They dead. Faraday is probably gonna be OK. Prize: Authentic Faraday tie.
Damon Q to Matthew Fox: Do you know the meat-socks/redshirts, i.e. those who died on the boat?
MF: Yep. They're always there and very professional.
Q: Is there a limit to how far the flashes can go back and forth in time?
A: We're going to tell stories in a new and exciting way. This year, when season five starts, you're not going to know when and where you are. CC: There will be storytelling both on and off the Island and in different periods of time. Guy who makes wooshing sound will remain employed. Prize: Hanso Foundation hat.
Q: Just between me and you, how does this show end?
A: It ends well, we hope.
Q: Can I have some Jin?
DL: The alcohol or the character?
Prize: Dharma beer
Q: How old is Richard Alpert and does he have six toes?
A: Not tellin'. We will see Richard Alpert barefoot in the very near future and that's pun intended: the very near future. Prize: "I asked a Richard Alpert question and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" T-shirt
Damon Q to Matthew Fox: How old do you think Richard Alpert is?
MF: 125 years old. DL: Wrong.
Q: Regarding Locke's pseudonym of Jeremy Bentham, and one of his big things was the panopticon, are the people on the Island people being watched and by who?
A: Good question. [Interrupted by new Martin Candle video drama. That video? Coming soon right here!]
That's all for now kiddos. Check back soon for photos and video from the panel and in the not-too-distant future, my exclusive backstage interview with Mr. Matthew Fox himself! In the meantime, post your comments and Q's on the panel below, and we'll work on dragging more answers out of the powers that be in the very near future.

I want that Richard T-shirt!
We're going to tell stories in a new and exciting way. This year, when season five starts, you're not going to know when and where you are.
Hmmm. If this is done well, it could be interesting. If not, it could just create a lot of confusion.
no ones commented yet!?
I found this the most interesting:
"We will see Rousseau's story, to use the word flashback might be disingenious. Damon: We're steering away from the flashes."
"We're going to tell stories in a new and exciting way. This year, when season five starts, you're not going to know when and where you are. CC: There will be storytelling both on and off the Island and in different periods of time. Guy who makes wooshing sound will remain employed.
haha wooshing sound guy, sounds like the new format could be very very good! im exited!! this is gonna be so cool. It could be confusing, but i like that, because it wont be if you pay attention, they have been to kind to the non watchers lately, its gotten predictable, so this is the perfect solution!
and yay for vincint! i didnt think they would kill a dog though
Will Kate ever see Sawyer again?
DL: Not if Jack has anything to say about it.
lol
Q: What happened to non-speaking "beachies" who were ferried over to the blowed-up boat from the season four finale?
A: They dead. Faraday is probably gonna be OK
double lol, hwo did everyone die but him, is faraday invincable or something, must be the tie
Q: Just between me and you, how does this show end?
A: It ends well, we hope.
Q: Can I have some Jin?
DL: The alcohol or the character?
Prize: Dharma beer
hahahahaha! perfect! they should so sell that in stores as a promo
beer = good marketing
I cant wait to see the new Martin Candle video! but i thought his name was marvin?
I have a question for them, why would they give away a heros dvd as a prize? lol were lost fans silly
but serisouly though i would have asked them why kates being such a douche
and why some characters that used to be friends hate eachother now, like kate and locke for example, i loved there scenes together in season 1&2 kate trusted locke enough to let him drop her down the hatch, but now she doesnt want anything to do with him, whats kates problem!?
and i would ask them to play pink floyd on the show, just once.
I'm so happy that we could have some news! And it from Damon, Cuse and Foxy!!! It was awesome!
About the triangle, Darlton made funny, like they ever did before, but how a Jate that I am, I need to say that I've many hope in future of Jate!!!
Season Five will be very good for all story, I'm feeling that!
Damon also says that Heroes is a much better show than Lost. Sarcasm at it's finest :)
This isn't the first time they've distanced themselves from flashes. If I remember correctly, they said that word may become obsolete or something similar. The question is, if the show is still going to feature 'different periods of time', how is that going to be achieved? From the perspective of someone who's time travelling?
Comic Con is the shot in the arm the hiatus needed. Awesome stuff.
Woooo - Rousseau set sail in 2007 with her science team....and ended up 16 years in the past!!!!!!
Perhaps Sun and Widmore funded her little science team, eh!
"Rousseau set sail in 2007 with her science team....and ended up 16 years in the past"
That could be VERY cool indeed.
the island probably traveled back in time at the end of season 4, so maybe we'll start seeing a whole bunch of people who already died...perhaps the island went 16 years in the past.
we won't know what time we're in at the beginning of season 5 because we'll be on island and we won't know exactly where/when the island is. sounds very interesting...much more interesting than i would've expected. Let's hope it's interesting enough to complete half of the remaining episodes.
Well, they wont be considered flashbacks, cuz these are new, present events... New to the timeline...even tho they are in the past..
So technically any scenes with Sawyer, Locke, Alpert, Juliet and Co. on the island wont be flashbacks.. The may be in the past.. but they arent old events.. they are new events... having never occured before... You cant flashback to something that hasnt happened before..
Q: What happened to non-speaking "beachies" who were ferried over to the blowed-up boat from the season four finale?
A: They dead. Faraday is probably gonna be OK. Prize: Authentic Faraday tie.
But what about the other five people on the raft--Scott is one of them, Scott must live!
