Comment: The season 5 premiere of LOST is more than five months away, but I do have the title of the episode, "Because You Left." Any thoughts as to what it means?

Comment: Two new characters have been added to the LOST cast. Zuleikha Robinson will play Ilana, "a European female who possesses great intelligence but who's also dangerous as all get out. She's alluring and apparently used to getting her own way."

Saïd Taghmaoui, will play Caesar, a mystery man - and that's all we know right now. The producers say the actor's skill set fits the part. He has an innate intelligence, intensity, and danger we really responded to, says Lindelof, who declined to specify whether Caesar is good or bad. However, Cuse teases that the character will be playing an important part of the setup for the final act of the show in season 6."

He also confirms that Robinson's Ilana is associated with Caesar, and likens her to Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight. There was something very unsettling about the way the Joker kept telling different stories about his background -- something very similar to what we had planned for Ilana, he says.

Look for a delayed introduction for the duo, beginning with an intriguing setup followed by a gradual increase in screen time that won't detract from established faves, much like how season 4's newbies, the Freighter Folk (Jeremy Davies, Rebecca Mader, Ken Leung, Jeff Fahey), were worked into the mix. (The producers say we'll be seeing more of the freighter folk next year too, even Fahey, last seen escaping the Island with the Oceanic 6).
