Some fans gathered early to catch an advance, sneak peak at season six. From what I’ve heard so far, you’d better buckle up. It’s going to be quite a ride.

“The first hr of S6 is INCREDIBLE. Will say no more,” tweeted LOST blogger Jo Garfein, A.K.A.  jopinionated (@jopinionated).

Here’s some feedback from “The Lost Podcast with Jay & Jack” (@jayandjack): “Whew what a premiere … I must say for the people that doubted the powers that be, the premiere was awesome!”

Now, before you go and get all engrossed in season 6, let’s go back and take a look at one critical scene from the 2004 LOST pilot episode.

The scene I’m referring to is the scene where John Locke explains to Walt the significance of backgammon.  This is a scene that now seems to foreshadow the Jacob / Man In Black revelation, as pointed out by Jeff Jenson over at Popwatch.

Was that backgammon scene a foreshadowing of the show’s endgame?  Here’s what Damon Lindelof, who co-wrote the series pilot along with J.J. Abrams, had to say about it:

“We can’t rewrite history and say that at the time the pilot was being constructed we were using phrases like ‘The Man In Black’ and ‘Jacob’, but we can say that the overriding theme of The Island and what an endgame might look like — and that Locke was the character that was tapped into this almost instantly — was all sort of calibrated. Looking back on that scene, its intention at the time that it was written and its intention today is exactly the same, which is to basically set the stakes for the entire series. At the time that we wrote it, we didn’t think that there was going to be an episode two. At the time that we wrote it, it was a conversation about the good and evil internal in the people themselves. But obviously, as the show grew and blossomed out, that same conversation grew to encompass the nature of The Island and The Island’s affect on those people.”

Got goosebumps yet?

Check out that scene below and brace yourself for the LOST season 6 premiere tonight on ABC:
