hmmm... Was this event held March 2010 -- or was it held in 2005? Unclear. the actors surely didn't know where they'd be by season 6, but Damon & Carlton did... it's not clear whether JJ was in on the creation of the 5-6 year arc including time travel, battle of good & evil, etc. .... AT the same time, the question itself -- what would have instigated that thought? ...

@quicksite As indicated in the title of the clip, this was filmed in 2005.

I would've liked to have a ringtone with the Lost 'theme'. And even had that sound at the end when you hung up. LOL

I think that would have been an interesting episode, or when they did those web series during the summers. Show everybody's families and the people from their flashbacks finding out about the crash and that this person was on the plane.

@Josephhart112 I don't think that's right.

I'm pretty sure that JJ and company pitched the show to ABC with the intention of running 6 seasons.
