Facing Your Demons: "Lost" Castaway Found Next Season

Yes, you read that correctly.

While the actual announcement is due to be made by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse tomorrow at Comic-Con, ABC president Steve McPherson let it slip today that a certain Lost castaway would be returning next season earlier today.

Oh, come on. It's not really that difficult to figure out. Which castaway memorably left the series' storyline under mysterious circumstances? And it doesn't take a Dharma-trained genius to figure out whose CBS pilot (Demons) wasn't ordered to series.

Yes, folks, we're talking about Harold Perrineau, whose character (that would be Michael) left Lost at the end of the second season when Ben released him and Walt with instructions on how to leave the island. That is, after Michael betrayed his friends for said freedom.

With the Losties off the island (as seen at the end of Season Three), it was only a matter of time before Jack and other castaways were, um, reunited with the series' Judas back on the mainland. (And hopefully this will put an end to those it-was-Michael-in-the-coffin theories.)

Meanwhile, McPherson claims that Lost's creative team hasn't yet decided whether they will utilize "more flash-forwards or flash-backs" during the series' final three seasons. Hmmm...

I'm sure more information will spill out of tomorrow's Comic-Con panel, so stay tuned.

I hope this isn't Damon's big announcement because it's one that long time Lost viewers have been waiting for for a while now. Glad he's back as his story was left unresolved and needs closure. I never thought he was in the coffin but LOADS of people seem to.

I never thought he was in the coffin (and still don't), but I don't see how this puts an end to the theory?

Harold was supposed to come back for the finale last season, but there were scheduling conflicts. He's the only Lostie we know of who was definitely from New York (the obit said the deceased was from NY) and the neighborhood Jack was in for the funeral home was definitely an African-American area. It was Michael in the casket! Namaste Ally :)

I think this is great news! Although I can't wait to see how they explain Walt's growth Spurt.

Anonymous, why did you hate Michael? I don't think we're supposed to like him for his actions but he did it to save his child not because he wanted to betray them for money or something. I am glad that Michael is coming back to the show and maybe the writers can deal with Walt's storyline.

Cinemaniac, it's now in the future, so it actually makes sense that Walt has aged!

Katie Lee Packs Her Knives: Breaking News from Bravo's "Top Chef"

The android has left the building. Or the test kitchen, anyway. Top Chef 's robotic host Katie Lee Joel, the veritable "Uptown Girl" herself (pictured at left), will NOT be sticking around for a second course of Bravo's hit culinary competition. According to a well-placed insider, Joel will "not be returning" to the show. No reason for her departure was cited. Unfortunately, the perfect replacement for Joel, Top Chef judge and professional chef Tom Colicchio, will not be taking over as the reality series' host (damn!). Instead, the show's producers are currently scouring to find a replacement for Joel. Top Chef 's second season was announced by Bravo last month, but no return date has been set for the series' ten-episode sophomore season. Stay tuned as this story develops. UPDATE (6/27): Bravo has now confirmed the above story .

BuzzFeed: Meet The TV Successor To "Serial"

HBO's stranger-than-fiction true crime documentary The Jinx   — about real estate heir Robert Durst — brings the chills and thrills missing since Serial   wrapped up its first season. Serial   obsessives: HBO's latest documentary series is exactly what you've been waiting for.   The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst , like Sarah Koenig's beloved podcast, sifts through old documents, finds new leads from fresh interviews, and seeks to determine just what happened on a fateful day in which the most foul murder was committed. And, also like  Serial  before it,  The Jinx may also hold no ultimate answer to innocence or guilt. But that seems almost beside the point; such investigations often remain murky and unclear, and guilt is not so easy a thing to be judged. Instead, this upcoming six-part tantalizing murder mystery, from director Andrew Jarecki ( Capturing the Friedmans ), is a gripping true crime story that unfolds with all of the speed of a page-turner; it

BuzzFeed: "The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now"

The CBS legal drama, now in its sixth season, continually shakes up its narrative foundations and proves itself fearless in the process. Spoilers ahead, if you’re not up to date on the show. At BuzzFeed, you can read my latest feature, " The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now," in which I praise CBS' The Good Wife and, well, hail it as the best show currently on television. (Yes, you read that right.) There is no need to be delicate here: If you’re not watching The Good Wife, you are missing out on the best show on television. I won’t qualify that statement in the least — I’m not talking about the best show currently airing on broadcast television or outside of cable or on premium or however you want to sandbox this remarkable show. No, the legal drama is the best thing currently airing on any channel on television. That The Good Wife is this perfect in its sixth season is reason to truly celebrate. Few shows embrace complexity and risk-taking in t
