I don't know about you, but I am pooping kittens in anticipation of Wednesday's Lost season premiere. The great big mystery machine is my favorite thing on the air. Let's look at a little preview.

Mastermind exec producers Cartlon Cuse and Damon Lindelof recently spoke to a group of TV critics and divulged some interesting tidbits! Warning, there are some (slight) spoilers.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

On that four-toed statue...

The idea [was] to say the history of the island was a long one, and that people had been on the island for a long time... and this season, as we’re skipping through time, hopefully they’ll see that.

On Sawyer's shirtlessness...

Sawyer has a lot to do this year. For those who are not fans of time travel, we have his shirt off in the season premiere.

From Entertainment Weekly:

"Episode 3 spoiler: A male character makes this shocking declaration: 'Because I am in love with the woman sitting next to me.'"

"Episode 3 spoiler: Someone says, 'You're in my life now — you and Charlie.'"

"Episode 3 spoiler: A male character poses this question to another male character: 'I assume you've come back for the bomb.'"

Said Cuse: "As we get deeper into the season, you're going to learn a lot more about the island's history."

So that's exciting.

On Sunday, I'm watching a few key episodes with some friends, as recommended by EW's always-reliable Jeff "Doc" Jensen:

Season 3
"Flashes Before your Eyes" (Disc 2)
"Through the Looking Glass" Parts 1 & 2 (Disc 6)

Season 4
"The Constant" (Disc 2)
"Cabin Fever" (Disc 3)
"There's No Place Like Home Parts" 1 & 2 (Disc 4)

Happy obsessing til Wednesday, Chahhhhlie.
