Lost Premiere Tonight! Unless You Saw It On Ustream

Remember how the Lost Season 6 Premiere was so important that President Obama made sure his State of the Union Address didn’t conflict with it? Well, sometimes people on the Internet aren’t as respectful of rabid Lost fans as the President. On Friday, the first four minutes of the hotly anticipated and closely-guarded Lost premiere leaked, and on Saturday, someone posted the ENTIRE premiere episode on Ustream, straight from this weekend’s special screening in Hawaii. The pirated version was taken down sometime on Sunday — but not before I got a few screenshots to verify that it was, in fact, legit. I don’t watch Lost — I refused to let J.J. Abrams torment me and toy with my emotions after being far too invested in Alias — despite having been an equally rabid fan of Party of Five, William Mapother being Tom Cruise‘s cousin, Evangeline Lilly being Canadian, and Sawyer being really, really hot.

Here are some screengrabs, in case you’re wondering what happens. My prediction for Season 6: People are trapped on an island and all sorts of terrible things happen to them.
