ABC is pulling out all the stops to promote the long-awaited season 5 of Lost. So far the network has released 11 promotional trailers for the January 21 season debut, a number of cast photos, and most recently a deck of promotional postcards.

Last night ABC debuted the 11th and latest teaser trailer for the season and it was filled with all kinds of spoilers, as well as the mysterious trickery we've come to expect from Lost. At the beginning of the trailer there are some unintelligible words uttered, which Lost  fan sites recognized as backwards audio. By this morning a number of sites had posted the decoded audio. (Translation: Locke saying "When am I?') The trailer also implies life off the island for the Oceanic 6 isn't going too smoothly and that a force is calling them to return. Trouble is, it can't just be one of the Oceanic 6 to go back to the island, it has to be all of them.

While there is no audio to decode, there are plenty of mysteries hidden in the just-released promotional Lost postcards. A number of the postcards that look like retro travel advertisements feature Ajira Airways and many of them reference returning to the island.  The boldly colored postcards feature sayings like: "Come Back," "The Island Cures What Ails You," and "Return to the Island." Lost aficiondos should be pleased by the apparent return of "Smokey" who appears on one of the postcards. And there are sure to be many questions about the postcard of a silhouetted Sawyer, who appears to be on the island.

With all these trailers, mysterious audio to decode, and now the postcards, it is getting even harder to wait for January 21 to roll around. Just 33 days left, not that we're counting...
