Lost? You soon will be when Series Five begins.
Confused by Lost?
Then you haven't a hope in hell when the show returns next year.
Producers plan to mess with the timeline so much that viewers won't know where, or when, the action is set.
Executive producer Carlton Cuse says they'll play with the flashback and flash-forward formula.
And after Ben Linus 'moved' the island, there will be few clues as to its whereabouts.
"We have something new this time," Cuse told fans at comic book convention Comic-Con in the US. "We're going to mix it up."
Executive producer Damon Lindelof added that the flash-forwards were a bit 'limiting' because they could only tell the stories of the Oceanic Six survivors.
"We could only focus on the Oceanic Six because we didn't want to reveal certain things - like Desmond getting off the island," he said.
"When season five starts, you won't know when or where you are - and the way we tell stories will be different, too."
"But you will be rewarded for hanging on all the way to end of series six."
The time shifts, he said, will still take place.
"We have the guy who makes the whooshing sound for us and we wouldn't want to put him out of work," he explained.
US network ABC has allowed the producers to set a finish date for the show, which will draw to a close after the sixth series.
"For us it was a huge advantage to get an end date to the show," said Cruse. "That really allowed us to turn a corner.
"We knew exactly how much story we had left. It really invigorated series four and it's been very exciting as we plan series five now."
Lost has been nominated for an Emmy for outstanding drama series, ahead of the award show On September 21.
Actor Michael Emerson, who plays creepy Ben, is nominated as Outstanding Supporting Actor - one of seven other Emmy nods for Lost.
