Lost Season 4 Spoilers

from Comic-Con via Kristen at E! Online.

Among the highlights:

The panel opens with a clip... Must be deleted scenes from last season, because they don't start shooting this season for another three or four weeks. In the clip, Ben (Emmy nominee Michael Emerson) refers to the Others as a "Rebel Sect" (not exactly earth-shattering)

Mr. Firendly (who Sawyer killed in the season finale) apparently left a video: "By the time you see this I will be dead"

Voice-over: "The survival of the Island is now at stake."

Lindelof says, "Don't get too attached [to Richard]"--the Other who appears to be eternally young--because actor Nestor Carbonell has a new series on CBS

Harrold Perrineau is not recurring, he's back as a full regular

Michael was the man in the coffin in the season finale (as many of us suspected)

The show will now feature flashbacks and flash-forwards as needed. "There's a whole chapter of the story that takes place off the island"

They intend to get to Libby's flashback this season (Libby was accidentally killed by Michael in Season 2, but in her flashbacks appeared to work for Dharma or The Others)

Rousseau's flashback may come this season, but maybe not until Season 5

Do the link for more, though that's the bulk of the info.
