‘Lost’ returns for Season 5 on Jan. 21!

Yes, my fellow “Lost” obsessed friends, we can officially start the countdown.
Set your clocks: It’s now 72 days until our favorite show premieres!
Yup, I hear ABC has set Jan. 21 as the date for Season 5’s debut. And since it’s been so long since the Oceanic 6 was rescued and the island vanished, the network’s giving fans some extra love: Three whole hours of “Lost” goodness!
Hour one starts at 8 p.m.: It’s a clip show, for those who need a refresher course on the first four seasons. Hours two and three will be back-to-back showings of the first two new episodes: “Because You Left” and “The Lie.”
After that, the show will air in its regular time slot of Wednesdays at 9 p.m. (And for those whose brains have turned to frozen donkey wheel mush, that’s a switch from last season’s Thursday at 10 p.m. slot.)
So “Lost” will be taking over the spot now occupied by “Private Practice,” and we probably won’t hear where the Kate Walsh series will land until ABC decides whether it’s keeping the rest of its Wednesday night lineup—namely, “Pushing Daisies” and “Dirty Sexy Money.” (Please, please, pretty please!)
And speaking of other series and die-hard fans, “24” devotees now have another reason to jump on the “Lost” bandwagon.
Word is that Reiko Aylesworth—otherwise known as Tony Almeida’s late wife and fellow CTU agent, Michelle Dessler—is in talks to join the island folk.
Any thoughts on which “Lost” hottie she’ll be cozying up to?
Jack? Sayid?
Or maybe—gasp!—Sawyer?
Ponder that one—and those pretty pictures!—while the days and minutes tick away…
