TDC Games is releasing a set of 4 official ‘Lost’ jigsaw puzzles. A representative of TDC Games informs me that “each of the 4 puzzles has a clue to some of the mythology of LOST that was given to [them] personally by the creative team”.

Puzzle #1 “The Hatch”, #2 “The Others” and #3 “The Numbers are all available now and #4 “Before the Crash” will be available in late fall 2006.

Check out TDC Games for more information.

The official Lost Podcast has posted the audio from the Lost Comic-Con 2006 panel q&a segment. This 53 minute podcast is definitely worth listening to, in addition to hearing a lot of great questions, you can hear Jay & Jack’s hilarious questions and Rachel Blakes confrontation with the producers.

Our friends over at Jay and Jack have put up a great videocast of the Lost panel at Comic-con 2006. Jack asks the panel whether there is a underwater hatch (which is neither confirmed nor denied) and Jay asks if Rose and Bernard work for Dharma. Near the end of the video Rachel Blake has a heated argument with the panel and storms off.

Thanks to Jay and Jack for capturing this on film for us, I cant wait to see part two.

Lost has added Rodrigo Santoro to the cast of season 3 according to a Yahoo news article.

Show producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof remained characteristically mum on the details of the 30-year-old actor’s role, confirming the casting to TVGuide.com, but refusing to divulge whether Santoro’s alter ego will be an Other, part of a character’s flashback or a member of the off-island world.

Also discussed in the article was a few season 3 plot points and some information about the Hanso Foundation.

Cuse said the run-up to the season’s first hiatus–the show takes a 13-week break after the airing of its first six episodes–”will look a little like a miniseries.” Lindelof added, “Something happens midway through the year that will fry everybody’s brain.”

The Lost masterminds also said that they’ll be amping up the adventure elements of the show this season and will revisit the off-island world they tapped into with the season finale.

The Lost Experience, the online interactive game launched last spring to give fans clues to the island, will spill the meaning behind Hurley’s lottery numbers–4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42–which are prevalent throughout the show. Their importance will be revealed to gamers who complete the third phase of the challenge.
