"Lost" is back on the air tomorrow night, finally, for a 16-episode run that takes the show to the end of its third season.
But do you remember what was going on before the show went its seemingly interminable hiatus? Neither do we! That's why you've gotta read through the This is Pop Culture! "Lost" Season 3 Episode Guide to refresh yourself on all the happenings and clues.
Plus you can read these slightly spoilerish teasers for tonight's episode and the one after that.
ABC is hosting its own "Lost" Survivors Guide tomorrow night before the new ep airs:
Hosts Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the executive producers of LOST, will provide an insightful glimpse into the lives of some of the survivors of the doomed Oceanic Airlines flight 815.
And there's a sneak peek at the episode here.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus Volume 1 due in July
Next month sees the debut of a new Buffy series from Dark Horse Comics, which picks up where the TV series ended. This book, however, collects issues from Dark Horse's previous "Buffy" title.
Details:
The definitive comics collection of all things Buffy starts here. This first massive volume begins at the beginning-The Origin, a faithful adaptation of creator Joss Whedon’s original screenplay for the film that started it all. The newly chosen Slayer’s road to Sunnydale continues in Viva Las Buffy and Slayer, Interrupted. Next, Sunnydale, the Scoobies, and an English librarian lead the way into Season One continuity. Plus, The Goon creator Eric Powell provides pencils to "All’s Fair," featuring Spike and Drusilla at the 1933 World’s Fair.
The smash TV hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer led to nearly a decade of comics at Dark Horse-including multiple specials, one-shots, and guest miniseries. This omnibus series is the ultimate compilation of the Buffy comics Dark Horse has published, and runs along the TV series’ timeline. A fitting companion to Whedon’s comics-based relaunch of the show.
Includes:
Features: 15 Desktops, 7 Ecomics, 2 Games.
The book is available for pre-order now for $16.47 from Amazon.

Andrew D. Cooke and brother Jon Cooke, editor of Comic Book Artist mag, say they're nearly finished with their documentary film about the late cartoonist Will Eisner. You can get an update and see a fresh trailer here.
---------------
The Beatles and Apple Inc. have resolved their legal differences. Still no word on whether the Fabs' songs will be available soon via iTunes, though.
---------------
Drool, drool: Check out this preview of "The Marvel Vault," a "museum-in-a-book," compiled by Roy Thomas and Paul Sanderson that traces the comic company's history via various artifacts, including rare sketches, fan club memorabilia and more.
------------------
Via the Bat-Blog: Bob Kane's tombstone.
------------------
Drag: Joss Whedon says he's now off the Wonder Woman film.
I had a take on the film that, well, nobody liked. Hey, not that complicated.
Let me stress first that everybody at the studio and Silver Pictures were cool and professional. We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that's never gonna work. Non-sympatico. It happens all the time. I don't think any of us expected it to this time, but it did. Everybody knows how long I was taking, what a struggle that script was, and though I felt good about what I was coming up with, it was never gonna be a simple slam-dunk. I like to think it rolled around the rim a little bit, but others may have differing views.
---------------------
Joe Hunter, pianist on a zillion Motown hits, has died.
Hunter's piano work was an integral part of such songs as Martha and the Vandellas' "Heat Wave" and "Come and Get These Memories," and Marvin Gaye's "Pride and Joy." After Motown left Detroit in 1972, like many musicians, Hunter took what gigs he could find.

Pop Culture Roundup Feb. 1, 2007
Young Fred Hembeck meets Marvel Comics' Roy Thomas.
-----------------
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and last book in the series is due out July 21 . (corrected from the June 21 posted here earlier)
UPDATE: You can pre-order the book now for $18.99 (regularly $34.99) now from Amazon.
-----------------
Joss Whedon talks to MTV about his upcoming "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" comic, which picks up where the series ended.
"The show was very mundane, deliberately mundane," Whedon said. "A comic has got to work on a grander, epic scale. We can really take the characters wherever we want, and of course, that means I can kill them. That's where the fun is, in revisiting these characters. It's like being with my old friends, but in actuality, not being with my old friends, because the actors aren't there to play them. It's a little different. This is bigger variations. It's a symphony based on the little tune we played."
The comic hits stand March 7.
---------------------
Speaking of Joss: Despite Whedon working on a script to an upcoming Wonder Woman film he's set to direct, Warner Brothers is acquiring a spec script by newcomers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland.
Sources told the Hollywood Reporter that the purchase is a pre-emptive measure intended to keep the script off the market and to protect itself against any legal action prompted by similarities between the two scripts. The Jennison-Strickland script is reportedly set against the backdrop of World War II, while Whedon's script is set in the present day.
------------------
Mezco Toyz has a line of Underdog figures coming out to tie in with the CGI flick based on the character coming this summer.
----------------------
From Variety: Carl Reiner remembers his work on "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
Daily Variety: So it was because of the censors that they were in twin beds?
Reiner: Absolutely. I fought and I said, "Dick sleeps in a queen-sized bed." They said, "No, no, what would it suggest?" I said, "Where did the kid come from? Did they jump from the next bed to do it?"
------------------------
"Star Trek: Klingons: Blood Will Tell," a five-part miniseries from IDW Publishing beginning in April will also be available in a special 40-page Klingon-language edition.

Mojo mag celebrates Sgt. Pepper
The March 2007 of Britain's much-read Mojo music magazine (I pay a ridiculous amount for an overseas subscription. But it's still cheaper than buying it on the news stand here.) spotlights the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band LP, which turns 40 this June.
And, as with every ish, there'll be a special CD included--this one entitled Mojo Presents Sgt. Pepper...With A Little Help From His Friends, with indie acts tackling the tunes. Tracks include:
01. Simple Kid - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band
02. Purto Muerto - With A Little Help From My Friends
03. Circulus - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
04. Fionn Regan - Getting Better
05. 747s - Fixing A Hole
06. Unkle Bob - She's Leaving Home
07. Bikeride - Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite
08. Stephanie Dosen - Within You Without You
09. Chin Up Chin Up - When I'm Sixty Four
10. Dave Cloud & The Gospel Of Power - Lovely Rita
11. The M's - Good Morning Good Morning
12. Simple Kid - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band (Reprise)
13. Captain - A Day In The Life
Bonus track
14. Echo & The Bunnymen - All You Need Is Love

It's National Gorilla Suit Day, don't you know?

Rare Clash tunes and songs by the likes of Bob Dylan and Nina Simone will be featured on the soundtrack to "The Future Is Unwritten," a documentary about the late Clash singer Joe Strummer, Billboard reports.
"The Future Is Unwritten," which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, was assembled using a combination of old interviews collected from journalists as well as tapes of Strummer's BBC radio show. It features testimonials from Bono, Johnny Depp, Martin Scorsese, Courtney Love, Flea, John Cusack and members of the Clash, among many others.
Here's the track list for the album, due out April 3.
"White Riot," the Clash
"Rock the Casbah," Racid Taha
"Crawfish," Elvis Presley
"Black Sheep Boy," Tim Hardin
"Kick Out the Jams," MC5
"Keys to Your Heart," the 101'ers
"I'm So Bored With the U.S.A.," the Clash
"Natty Rebel (2006 mix)," U-Roy
"Armagideon Time," the Clash
"Nervous Breakdown," Eddie Cochran
"(In the) Pouring Rain," Clash II
"Filibustero," Joe Strummer
"Martha Cecilia," Andres Landeros
"Minuet," Ernest Ranglin
"Trash City," Latino Rockabilly War
"Rangers Command," Woody Guthrie
"Corrina, Corrina," Bob Dylan
"Johnny Appleseed," Joe Strummer
"To Love Somebody," Nina Simone
"Willesden To Cricklewood," Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros
---------------------
Funny or not funny? You be the judge (I thought it was pretty entertaining): Johnny DC takes a trip to the 1960s Marvel Bullpen.
----------------------
Via BoingBoing: A Doctor Who TARDIS USB hub.
------------------------
Captain Canuck is back! I remember picking up the first CC comic way, way back in 1975. It's in a box someplace and hard to find, but I remember it as being pretty cool, with quite vivid coloring for the times. An interesting change of pace from the DC and Marvel titles I was reading like mad at the time.
-------------------------
The release date for the season 2 "Twin Peaks" DVD set has been bumped up a week, from April 10 to April 3. You can pre-order it now $36.99 for from Amazon.

McFarlane Toys will produce an action figure line based on the "Grinch Who Stole Christmas" 'toon, IVC2 reports.
McFarlane Toys is planning a range of three- and six-inch scale action figures based on key scenes from the film, including Two Sizes Too Small (the Grinch standing with hands on hips), You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch (the Grinch stealing the children's stockings from the mantle of a Whoville fireplace), All I Need is a Reindeer (the Grinch placing antlers on his dog), Cindy Lou Who (everybody's favorite Who), and Mount Crumpet Box Set (the Grinch and Max with overburdened sleigh). The figures will include play action features and are scheduled to be in stores in October.

Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Wrestle Poodles and Win!
Out now, apparently, this is a 2-CD recording from the Bonzos' reunion performances in Britain last year.
For those who don't know: The Bonzos may be most famous for their guest stint in the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour" film, performing their tune "Death Cab for Cutie" during the strip club scene.
Member Neil Innes later went to work with Monty Python and, with Python Eric Idle, created the Rutles. Neil played Ron Nasty in the Rutles film and is responsible for the Rutles recorded output, too.
The group's other best known member, Vivian Stanshall, was a genius/bon vivant and pal of the Who's Keith Moon who acted as narrator on Mike Oldfield's zillion-selling Tubular Bells album. Stanshall died in a house fire in 1995.
You can pre-order it now from Amazon for $23.99.

Ho hum. DC Comics stages another "big event" and kills off characters.
-----------------
Variety has a little more info on the status of "Veronica Mars" on the CW:
"Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll" bows March 6, and will air at 9 p.m. Tuesdays for eight weeks in place of "Veronica Mars" repeats. Music competition skein could benefit from airing in the hour after "American Idol" on Fox.
When "Veronica Mars" returns in April for its final five episodes this season, there will not be a continuing mystery storyline. Looking to try something different -- and in a bid to attract new viewers -- each episode will feature self-contained mysteries.
If they're well-received and ratings increase, "Veronica" could be back for a fifth season.
Last week's episode, the first after a long hiatus, wasn't bad, with some nice snappy dialogue. Still, the series isn't quit the gem it was during seasons 1 and 2. The transition to college has been tough, as has been the shift to a new network. No doubt, the show's always uncertain future has made the creators a bit insecure. It's hard to do good work when you're worrying when/if the axe will fall. A definitive commitment to a full season from the CW would've been nice.
--------------------
Hey: Who did the cover art for this upcoming edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "A Princess of Mars" from Penguin Classics? Looks a bit like Gil Kane to me.
UPDATE: Waffyjon informs me the work is by the late Dave Cockrum! And, yeah, it certainly looks like his work. I should've known.
