Senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich and Mickey O'Connor answer your questions!I know Skaters and Jaters are asking about their Lost couples, but please don't ignore us Jacketeers! Is there hope for a Jack-Juliet reunion? – TamunaMatt: Hope? Sure. It's just a matter of where (back on the island, I can only assume) and when (perhaps as early as this coming season, at least one source tells me).

But as for its long-term future, the producers will have their work cut out for them to sustain the premise: modern detective wakes up from an accident in the '70s and wonders if it's all a coma dream. Most ABC viewers aren't likely to have seen the BBC version yet (which did present an actual ending to the overal ...
