After Desmond's not-so-shocking (but still very cool) return in last night's episode of LOST, it should come as a surprise to no one that next week's episode, titled "Happily Ever After," will center upon him. Already we've seen a pretty cool clip from the episode featuring Desmond and Claire. This clip not only proves that Desmond was in fact on Flight 815, but it also seems to throw a little reference to the fact that he may know what happens in the original timeline (my completely spoiler-free guess? He's swapping between the two universes like he did through time in "The Constant").
"Happily Ever After" seems like a great episode, especially when you look at the following press release, which reveals two new guest stars (and former main cast members) who we haven't seen in the same episode since "The Beginning of the End," the season four premiere (and even then, they didn't share any scenes). I'm talking about my two favorite characters from the show, Charlie and Daniel, both of whom will appear in his flash-sideways. It should be interesting to see how a lack of an Island changed Faraday's purpose-driven life. We'll also be seeing George Minkowski again. I hope he is of some importance, because honestly, after his voice of hope in the season three finale, he died way too soon.

And now, here are the photos. What do they mean? And what is that giant hole in the wall?
Picture three…that is definitely a giant electromagnet. Pure awesome.
Is that what that is? Very cool…I'm interested to learn what exactly they're doing to Desmond.
