New Characters

During the 2008 Lost panel at Comic-Con, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse answered fan questions and gave us some Lost season 5 spoilers.
Much of the panel content was made up of fans asking questions and the producers answering (or not answering) them and then giving them a prize (such as a Lost calendar or tub of Dharma ranch).
Thanks to the great questions, this is what we learned:
* When the hatch imploded (episode 2x23, Live Together, Die Alone) the island didn't move like it did during the season 4 finale.
* "Dead" is a relative term. Jin and Locke will be seen in some form in season 5.
* We will get Rousseau's story, though it won't necessarily come from a flashback or flash forward.
* The show will still have flashbacks and flash forwards, but will move in a new direction with the narrative.
* The other writers don't know all, but know most of what Damon and Carlton know of what is coming up for the next two season.
* Vincent is okay and will appear in season 5 and will most likely make it to the end of the series.
* Kate will see Sawyer in season 5.
* When season 5 starts, you won't know when and where we are at first.
* Daniel knew about the secondary protocol from his notebook. His notebook has things in it that haven't yet happened.
* The writers often "write themselves into a corner" throwing out "What if's" in the writers room. They always know how they are going to get the characters out of a particular situation before they begin filming, though.
* Aging on the island is a different process than what we are used to. Richard Alpert is "old". Matthew Fox guessed that he is 125 years old and Damon said he was wrong.
* We will learn more about Richard Alpert in season 5.
