Jack (Matthew Fox) has the H-bomb and he's going to use it. (It's the only way to stop the big scary power surge, don't you know!)  Kate (Evangeline Lilly) is trying to stop him. And she's fighting dirty.

Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have to choose sides. The trailer is hinting that the sides they choose = the mates they choose. Doh. How will the Lost boys squeeze out another 17 episodes if those things happen?

Lost is a just a big old snowball rolling faster and faster down a hill, picking up pieces of lives, and getting bigger and bigger as it goes. We took Wednesday night's little jaunt with my beloved Sayid. It was the best Sayid episode since Shannon died in S1 (Doh! It was S2E6. My bad) with Naveen Andrews' best moments since he executed that perfect open field tackle on Carl in S3.

SPOILERS AFTER THE JUMP

Lost star Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate, on the hit ABC series will not be leaving before the show ends its run in 2010 with the sixth and final season. Rumors that she was leaving the show swirled on Thursday along with the news that freakin' American Idol, with a second two-hour yawner of bad song choices, dusted the island dramatics in the ratings this week.

Lost watchers, I am not the sort of fan who wants to know what will happen next with each Lost episode. I like being surprised.

Some of you, still might like to read this AP story. Evangeline Lilly, who plays the lovely Kate Austen on the show, dishes some dirt about upcoming Lost episodes, dirt that may or may not have to do with Sawyer (Josh Holloway), her sometime island squeeze.

It's spoiler-ish, not spoiler-tastic. Proceed at your own risk.

We're counting down the days until the Jan. 21 premiere of Lost (ABC, 8 p.m.) Let's waste the time in between taking a look back at how season four ended.

TODAY: James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway)

When we last saw Sawyer, shirtless and dripping wet, ... he was sharing a bottle of rum with Juliet. ...
