It all started with a plane crash. A group of strangers learned to work together and build a community, not knowing what the future would bring. When the last season ended, the island disappeared in a flash as the show's villain, Ben Linus, played by Michael Emerson, moved it, leaving viewers to wonder where it had gone.  
  
The penultimate season 5 will show the Oceanic Six, made up of the survivors who got off the island and back to the states, returning to the island. Why would they go back to a place they tried so hard to leave for so long? "There will be some further explanation of that stuff sooner rather than later from a source outside our characters speculating," Damon Lindelof, one of the show's executive producers, told the *Chicago Tribune*.  
  
Be ready for some answers and even more questions as the 3-hour premiere event starts tonight at 8/7c on ABC.
