Lost producers have been quietly teasing the show’s fifth season with promos that are either glorified recaps or seemingly mundane clips. That is, until now. With a little more than a month before the show is set to relaunch, ABC just released a brand-new promo that features tons of tantalizing new footage that will surely get Losties worked up into a tizzy. A monk scribbling formulas on a blackboard! A man plummeting off a balcony! Some dude completely engulfed in flames! But best of all, the clip features someone who sounds suspiciously like Locke … wait for it … talking backward*! Did turning that frozen donkey wheel make the island merge with the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks? We can’t wait to find out! Full clip after the jump.
*The good people at SL-Lost.com have already gone to the lengths of reversing the audio. Some seem to think Locke is saying “Am I? When?†but we think he might be saying “Ham on rye.â€
