Just a friendly reminder/preview that Lost is back for a 16-week run this Wednesday, February 7th. The newest episode is called "Not in Portland." The good people at Entertainment Weekly have the scoop (ABC sent out screeners of the episode about a week ago). The fairly spoiler-free column can be found here.

Also from EW, they officially reviewed the episode in their "What to Watch" section of their newest magazine issue. It goes as follows:

I'm not going to screw around. It's good. Really good. Like season-0ne, stuff-gets-answered, can't-wait-for-the-next-episode good. To recap: Ben is bleeding out on the table. Jack is demanding the release of Kate and Sawyer. And the fan base is demanding some frickin' forward movement. Well, how about the full-on Juliette backstory? Information about how the Others ended up on the Island? Super-creepy Dharma experiment sequences? Yeah. You know you want it. And by the end, you'll be begging for more. Well, that, and praying that this isn't just another tease from a show that always seems to start strong out of the gate. A -Daniel Fierman

Screw the Super Bowl - this is appointment TV.

UPDATE: Ain't it Cool News also posted a preview of Lost's return episode. It's definitely more revealing than what EW posted, but luckily we still don't get anything substantial. Read it here.
