Lost fans will be glad to hear that Harold Perrineau is returning to the series when it returns in January 2008. Strange, considering he spent the entire last season off of the show, leading many to believe that his ship may have just sailed off into who-knows-where. The news broke at the Television Critics Association, although it was supposed to be revealed at Comic-Con. If you recall from the end of season two, Michael Dawson (Perrineau) shot both Libby (Cynthia Watros) and Ana-Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez) and delivered Jack, Kate and Sawyer in exhange for The Others setting him and his son Walt free from the island. And off his boat sailed into the sunset, never to be seen again—at least not on the third season of the series. Of course, Lost fans will cling to this nugget of info and any others we can get during the long wait until January’s season four premiere. No details (of course) on where we’ll see Michael, meaning back on the island or in the future post-island world. More details about the upcoming season of Lost are expected at today’s Comic-Con convention.
