Where are all the Lost viewing parties in Seattle? Seriously, this is driving me nuts. I’ve been looking. Our interns have been looking. You’d think there’d be a gathering somewhere of crazed fans wearing WWJLD shirts and drinking beer with fake Dharma Initiative labels, but to the best of my knowledge, nothing. Sigh. Prove me wrong—where are you?

Still, it won’t stop me from watching, and blogging, as the final season kicks off. It’s a bittersweet moment, like cracking open the seventh Harry Potter book or watching the last episode of The Sopranos. You don’t want Lost to end, but you know it should; otherwise the writers might work dinosaurs and aliens into the script. But before it does, we sure as hell better find out where Claire is. And who the Man in Black is. And whether the producers have been lying about the castaways being in purgatory, because then I can feel vindicated.

Before the two-hour premiere airs tonight at 9, here’s a clip of Entertainment Weekly’s senior writer Jeff Jensen interviewing Lost’s executive producers Carlton Cuse, Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz at last year’s Bumbershoot. (Not much to look at, so this is for your listening pleasure.)
