LOS ANGELES - After last night's dizzying fifth-season premiere of "Lost," executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse understand if some fans of the time-warped series are feeling as dislodged as the inhabitants of the mystical isla
Hopefully, as season five unfolds, you will realize that time travel has been in the DNA of the show for quite some time," added Lindelof, referencing the flashbacks and flash-forwards of past seasons. "We think the audience is now prepared to go on that journey with us."
One reason fans may be able to focus more clearly on the time-shifting elements of the series was last night's purge of the bedraggled troupe of extra survivors of Oceanic 815.nd.

The show is now moving into a phase where the presence of [the extras] was no longer directly necessary," said Cuse. "So we killed them with arrows. And that's just what you do," he said with a laugh.
One character moving back to center stage in this penultimate season is Josh Holloway's nickname-bestowing Sawyer, who received less screen time last year as the off-island story of the "Oceanic 6" played out. Lindelof intimated that Sawyer is the right character to serve as a stand-in for audience members confused by the recent turn of events.
