Anticipation

It's been a long time. How've you been? You look good - did you lose weight?
Enough small talk, girlfren', it's time for Lost Talk.
With a two-hour season premiere on the 31st, and the hype beginning to build, I thought it time to start up the engines.

First things first, ABC has some nice stuff posted online (thanks Wendy and Nicole), including an interesting video clip from a boyfriend of a stewardess on the Oceanic flight, leading to some interesting questions, like what is this Maxwell group he references?
Also, two trailer clips for the upcoming episode are posted, both with tantalizing clues:

The ads, if to be believed, make us think that in this episode, some Losties will be "rescued," but I use quote marks around it to indicate that things go quite awry and that some people don't leave the island and the rescuers are actually nefarious and bad. Eeeeenteresting.
Entertainment Weekly has a somewhat interesting interview with Matthew ("Jack") Fox about the show. Here's one thing he had to say:
"Jack gets people off that island, [and] suddenly he and the other people are very well-known — it becomes this massive story because everybody thought that every person on this plane was lost.... Who are they? What is everybody else doing? Jack's mission was to get all of them off. It's the overriding force behind him. So, the fact that he ends up getting off and doesn't get that accomplished — I'm very curious to find out how that all goes down. And part of that is going to be part of the reason why he wanted to jump off the bridge in the future."
