ABC has released a short teaser for the upcoming last season of Lost that starts in January (probably). Take a look and tell me if you find it as lame as I do.

There's no new footage! Come on ABC, give us one quick scene, a piece of dialogue, the back of someone's head, a shadow, something.

Every season ABC releases a poster for that season of Lost. And every season, dedicated fans try to figure out if there are any clues hidden in the poster (here's a bigger version).

Here's the poster for the final season, which starts in January. Looks pretty basic at first, just the logo and the entire cast (though please note some of those cast members!) at the top. But the letters of the show's titles look like they have symbols in them. Go crazy fans!

Comic-Con is coming up, and the lucky people who get to go are going to see a lot of very cool things. Included in that list of things is this Benjamin Linus bobble head doll from Bif Bang Pow! It shows Ben will his arm in a sling and bruises all over his face. It's a limited edition and it costs $17.

If you squint, it could pass for Keanu Reeves.

Tonight is the 100th episode of Lost, and it's one that revolves around Daniel Faraday. We haven't seen much of him in the past several episodes, except for his appearance at the end of the last episode when he emerged out of the sub and met Miles. I have a feeling something big is going to happen tonight, and judging from this clip I think I'm right.

It's rare to get an actor like Lost's Michael Emerson on a network TV show. He's quirky, slightly off-kilter (I mean that in a good way), unpredictable with his line readings, and someone that can do as much with a look on his face as with a speech of 1000 words. In other words, he's a good actor. Here's a clip from TV Guide where Emerson talks about filming that "judgment" scene with the Smoke Monster (yes, I'm capitalizing it), the show's 100th episode (this Wednesday), and what it's like to actually be recognized by people on the street.

OK, maybe "annoying" is too harsh, as I can see people being into recap shows if they're done well. Then again, if you're a big fan of Lost, then you've already seen this stuff and you're really aching for a new episode.

So did you enjoy last night's recap episode, or was it just an irritation to you? Do you welcome weeks where there's either a repeat or a recap so you can take your mind off of the show for a bit? Take the poll after the jump and leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Sometimes we don't think of nursery rhymes as being creepy. Sure, they can often involve death or family problems or just weird-ass scenarios, but it would take someone really special to be able to say the nursery rhyme out loud and make it sound disturbing. In this case, that person is Lost star Michael Emerson, who plays Ben Linus on the ABC show.

He was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, and Fallon got him to read "Little Boy Blue." Get your little ones close to the screen tonight before they go to bed and play it for them.

In the clip after the jump, Fallon also shows some illustrations that Emerson did in the 70s and 80s for The Boston Globe. He was a freelance illustrator before he became an actor, and the pictures are...well, they look like something Ben would draw while sitting in his cabin trying to think of what sneaky thing to do next. And I mean that in a good way.

So J.J. Abrams says that there might be a Lost big screen movie in the future. This is a terrible idea.

You know what that would mean? It would mean that the ending we've been promised - after the sixth season - really won't be the complete ending. We'll get a lot of answers but not all of them. They'll save that for the movie that we'll have to pay $10 to see. At least the X-Files movie came in the middle of the series run, and the sequel was a stand-alone story, so you didn't feel you were getting ripped off or teased. A stand-alone Lost movie wouldn't make much sense.

Yeah, everyone is going to be voting in the David Cook vs. David Archuleta American Idol final, but there's another contest going on and your vote is needed.

As we've been talking about recently, Redeye in Chicago is having their annual Best Character on Television poll, and it's down to the final four. After weeks of voting, the matchups are Sir Guy of Gisborne (Robin Hood) vs. Michael Scott (The Office) and Benjamin Linus (Lost) vs. Liz Lemon (30 Rock). Right now, Sir Guy is destroying Michael Scott (looks like Scott is going to fail at this too). In fact, I'm surprised that Sir Guy has such a rabid following.

As for Linus vs. Lemon, that's a lot closer, but it looks like Linus is going to win, which will set up a big finale where Linus goes up against Sir Guy. I have to vote for Linus, but I think it's going to be a battle. Voting for this round ends Tuesday at 2pm.

So in the most recent episode of Lost, Christian Shephard told Locke that the only way they can save the island from the invaders is if they, um, move it. Yeah, that's right, move the island. Thanks Doctor Shephard, I'll get right on that.

But viewers thinking that this was some crazy thing that could only happen on television and in the movies are...well, probably right. But in this Popular Mechanics article, the author of the book Physics of the Impossible says that it actually could be done. Michio Kaku says that it sounds like they're going to use the electromagnetic properties of the island and the Casmir Effect to "open a transferable wormhole to different points in time and space."
