OKAY! Whew, busy day.
The final Lost panel was AMAZING!!!
No way I'm going to remember everything - skits, many, many exclusive videos put together for SDCC, surprise guests, etc - but here goes...
Damon and Carlton visited those camping out, very nice.
When entering Hall H, they gave out posters, pencils, and Lost University cards with a special phone number on them.
They started off with a montage video recapping Season 5 set to Knights of Cydonia by Muse. Then a video about their new online experience, Lost University - a video about studying Dharma paranormal stuff that we can enroll in.

Then Damon and Carlton teased the final scene of the last ep, pulling out the last 2 pages of the script, locking them in a box with 2 locks and putting the keys around their necks. They said it would be revealed later on Jimmy Kimmel to prove they weren't making things up as they went.
Another couple of new videos. A 1980s VHS intro to the show Mysteries of the Universe (ala In Search of hosted by Leonard Nimoy) investigating the secrets of the Dharma Initiative. Fantastic! Then a commercial for Mr. Cluck's starring Hurley intro'ing their new Australian Outback Chicken.
hilarious. Hurley talked about everything going right for him since he won the lottery (hmmm...) and seemed to have never gone to the island!
Then funny Q&A skit with an obsessive fan painting a velvet picture of carlton and damon and a polar bear. ( damoncarltonandapolarbear.com ).
Followed by Jorge Garcia appearing in the audience asking a question about the commercial they made him film for Mr. Cluck's and why Hurley seemed to have good luck, Mr. Cluck's was not destroyed, and he seemed to have not gone to the island - no answers to that. Then he asked if
all questions will be answered, like what happened to Shannon's inhaler they tried to get from Sawyer in S1, but Sawyer didn't have. Are they going to explain where the inhaler is??
Then Michael Emerson appeared next to Jorge and sarcastically made fun of him, his question and how everything is all about him. Jorge said he was just jealous he didn't get the part of Hurley. Emerson said he never even auditioned for that role "dude", but Jorge begged to differ. Cut to hilarious tape of Emerson badly auditioning for Hurley in dew rag and tshirt.
Then some real Q&A - we'll see Juliet & Farraday again next season, Jacob has never appeared as anyone other than himself to the castaways, we'll see many familiar faces from previous seasons, they hope to explain the air drops of supplies, S6 won't have time jumping, or flashbacks or flash forwards... some new device will be intro'd and S6 will have a S1 type feel with lots of action and revelations, they neither confirmed nor denied man in black is named Esau - Emerson admitted they have some Biblical references but they back off before they become too overt, there will be a "very involved" back story for Richard next season. Then a question about Richard's eyeliner. Nestor was actually backstage they said and cut to a camera sneaking up on him as he applied eyeliner in the mirror. "Richard isn't immortal," he said into the mirror, "you are."
Then he gets angry because someone substituted his onyx eyeliner with ebony. "I always wear onyx! ^^^^ing unprofessional!" he yelled Christain Bale style as he attacked the cameraman. then he came out and joined the rest.
Then more videos. One a new commercial for Oceanic airlines "where you meet your destiny" and a very interesting America's Most Wanted hosted by John Walsh profiling Kate. This was a big revelation - KATE DID NOT KILL HER STEPFATHER! Though she tried to kill Wayne Janssen, she accidentally killed a plumber named Ryan Milner!!! This was the biggest bombshell.
Then more Q&A followed by fan made spoofs of Lost including a great Brokeback Mountain between Jack & Sawyer. Then the unveiling of the fan contest for Lost's theme song, with a new exciting, 80s action show style intro cut to it. Then another guest - Josh Holloway - introduced by a montage of Sawyer's best moments!
He comes out with a taser, insisting he will give the fans what they want, he (poorly) tased Damon and took his key for the script box. He calls Carlton Lurch and Frankenstein, takes his key and opens the box. Michael Emerson grabs the pages (because Josh left his glasses on the island) and begins to spoil the big ending for the audience - EXT Night, a circus tent collapses, Parkman looks sad, Sylar looks angry... "what the ^^^^ is this ^^^^?!" Emerson shouts. It's a lame finale for Heroes.
Then an "In Memorial" montage of all the characters that have died on Lost. Priceless! The final one is a moving tribute to Charlie Pace. When the lights come on, Dominic Monaghan is on stage and the crowd freaks out. A few final thank yous to the fans and it was done.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some good stuff, but it was an amazing panel!
That is pretty funny. The amount that they advertise cars in that show is annoying. I can't see a Versa without thinking of Hiro, or a Rogue without thinking of Claire. So I suppose in a way its not a bad way to advertise the show.
