Retiring The Old Format

In anticipation of Season 6 and the conclusion of LOST, we retire the S5 image (seen here) and have changed our layout a bit ... including creating a new header photo based on the S6 poster from Comic-Con 2009. From the looks of things, it's a pretty safe bet that many original cast members are returning. Also, notice the hieroglyphics in the text!

"LOST, But Not Forgotten," Comic-Con 2009

Drive Shaft Lives!

Finally, some new LOST news -- and a special heads-up for fans of Charlie Pace! From TV Guide, as posted on DarkUFO:

---

Everyone wants to know how the final season of LOST will wrap up. What can we expect? Executive producer Carlton Cuse says, "The time travel season is over. The flash-forward season is over. We have something different planned."

Here are a few clues to what's coming: Executive producer Damon Lindelof says the final season will address the origin of the food drop from Season 2. A fake episode of America's Most Wanted was screened for Comi-Con fans showing host John Walsh narrating the true crime story of Kate Austen. Kate, it was revealed, didn't kill her step-father, plumbing company owner Wayne Jannsen, as viewers believed. In his narration, Walsh said, "Fate would intervene on this tragic evening. Having made an earlier date with his wife, Janssen instead sent his apprentice, Ryan Milner, to lock up in his place. As Austen had devised, the building went up in a violent ball of flames. But it was Ryan who would perish inside instead of her intended target. Austen was detained for the murder of Ryan Milner before violently escaping the custody of the U.S. Marshall. She's on the run to this day. Federal authorities consider her armed and very dangerous."

Jorge Garcia believes that bringing Dominic Monaghan out on stage during the Comi-Con panel pretty much confirmed his involvement in Season 6. [In the photo, above, Dom appears at Comi-Con with "Am I Alive?" written on the palm of his hand.]

Former cast member Adawale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko) was also at Comi-Con promoting his film, "G.I. Joe" and, according to a source, had hoped to hang out backstage with his former co-stars. But that did not happen. Still, Jorge sensed that Adawale got the strongest applause during an In Memorium reel that played, saluting all the slain characters. "He got an incredible cheer," says Jorge. "He definitely stood out." A promo image for the new season revealed all the show's characters (both dead and alive) lined up in a long row. John Locke is in the center, with his back turned toward us, looking over his shoulder. Josh Holloway told me his thoughts on the placement: "I guess Locke's become Satan. I've really enjoyed his sudden change into becoming the evil guy."

Josh was most excited to hear the news that Elizabeth Mitchell would be back in some way. "Juliet coming back is exciting," he says. But if Juliet returns only as a corpse, Josh says it would have a horrible effect on Sawyer. "It would destroy him. It would bring him right back to where he started. I love that idea of ripping off all his growth and getting back to Sawyer, the salty dog. But I imagine then he'll have to get back to wanting to live again." Elizabeth Mitchell has been under a gag order not to speak ever since LOST's seasonfinale aired in May. But she finally broke her silence with me. "What happened at the very end of the season is they told me that the character of Juliet had reached a natural conclusion," says Liz. "It was very sudden, but I said 'Okay,' thinking that was the end of it. People knew I was available and I got a bunch of scripts. I fell in love with V and said I would do it. It was really crazy because I wasn't planning on jumping back into another series. And then LOST's La Fleur episode aired and the fan response was really good, so then LOST called again, and that's what I can't talk about. It's possible Juliet's just dead, but I think it's going to be a little bit more than that. I hope that when she comes back she can give Sawyer a really good reason for going on. What I really want is to have a big old fight with Ben, but that will probably never happen. But we will definitely see her again. They haven't really told me how many episodes I'll be doing but ABC said they'd work it out. They did when I was shooting the V pilot. I literally did four days of V, four days of LOST, four days of V."

Michael Emerson has spent his hiatus wondering if the character seen sitting next to Jacob on the beach in the season finale will be related to Esau, a character from the Old Testament. "Jacob is like a character of light and goodness and Esau was more earth-bound, more a creature of the dirt and darkness," Emerson explained to me. "There's biblical themes in our show. Whether they want to establish any direct parallel to Jacob and Esau remains to be seen."

Nestor Carbonell is not surprisingly "thrilled" to be joining the cast as a series regular. "My family and I are moving to Hawaii next week," he told me. "I've been flying back and forth so this is a big thrill for us. I have a 16 out of 18 episode commitment, so I'll be on the island when they need me. They've told me they'll answer the major questions about my character Richard—whether or not I'm immortal, how old I am. Because I don't seem to age." He says he believes his character is connected to the Black Rock pirate ship and perhaps, Ancient Egypt. "I'm most anxious to find out who's pulling the strings on this island."

Long Overdue Reply to Susan's Questions About the S5 Finale

Susan's comments are in black, and mine are directly below in pink. She brings some great perspective to issues! As fans, what do you think? Do you agree or disagree?

---

S: I told you once but will remind you in case you forgot that the NAME Jacob (Ya'acov in Hebrew) has a meaning. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name is explained as meaning "holder of the heel." Now we see that Jacob lives in a foot! MY question is to know if the other guy is Esau.
K: I think the Jacob scenario definitely has biblical significance, but LOST never makes that connection outright – they leave it to the viewer and their own perceptions and frame of reference. Because of your background, you take a totally different perspective on the story than I do. So it gives something to everyone without preaching. LOST creators also know that the fan base is very interactive, so I’m sure they theorize that we talk to each other and put the pieces together with each other’s help. I hope they will define who both men were, but with “the war” coming, that will (purposefully) become less important as other Q&A comes to the forefront.

S: I still have of course a million questions. The primary one, which we all have is I suppose - if Juliet really did kick off the bomb - was Miles right and that WAS the incident (I don't think so) or does that mean everything is restarting for everyone and that means Jacob is NOT dead.
K: My problem with the Juliet scenario is that everyone thinks only she is dead. If that bomb went off, and it somehow did not destroy the island, they’re all dead – not just Juliet. If it did destroy the island – and the Oceanic flight never crashed – then Juliet is probably mourning her sister somewhere and she and Sawyer will never meet. But in my opinion, that’s not likely. Elizabeth Mitchell is slated to return for an unspecified number of episodes in the last season, and there’s more of her story to tell. Perhaps the bomb created a situation somewhere between the two scenarios. If they had, indeed, done this all before, maybe they didn’t get something quite right and will have to do it all again in the hopes of fixing the past. Consider this: IF the island was destroyed in the past, Jacob goes away, Richard goes away, the smoke monster goes away, and these questions are never answered. The Oceanic flight never crashes, and the story ends. Something must happen to fill another season and fill in all of these blanks. I, personally, will feel very cheated if we don't get to see a reunion between Sun & Jin.

Also, if you remember back to the first Orientation video that they found, Miles’ dad refers to “the incident.” So he survives it – meaning that the island is still intact after the explosion. But wasn’t it the Swan the station they were building when this occurred? In the future (our present), the Swan is completed and the blast door map shows another station cut off from the rest of the Dharma hatches because of an incident. {For an interactive version of this map, go here: http://www.lost4815162342.com/blastmap/.} Perhaps this is indicative of the LOSTies reliving the story over and over again in an attempt to get it right? Maybe “the incident” occurs at a different point each time?

S: Why did Jacob allow Sayid's wife to die? That was the only negative about his visits.

K: Why is anyone allowed to die? Perhaps that had to happen as it was the only way to get Sayid back to the island? Or maybe it was to harden him and fill him with enough grief and rage to shoot little Ben? These things had to happen to get the story where it was, and Jacob knew this.

S: We did not see him interacting with Juliet, except we know that her husband was hit by a bus before she came to the island.

K: They only showed Jacob interacting with the Oceanic passengers – Juliet was never on the plane. So the characters had not only crossed each other’s paths, but Jacob’s as well. Gives credibility to the theory that ending up on that island truly was their destiny. Juliet was brought to the island by Richard and Ethan. I’m still not sure which side they’re on.

S: And how are there now three powers (Jacob, the other guy AND the monster)?
K: I really need someone to explain the whole smoke monster concept to me before this is all over with! Last season we saw that it could definitely take human form (in the case of Ben’s daughter … we had seen snippets of this with Eko’s brother, but didn’t know what we were seeing at the time). We have seen it punish Eko and Keamy’s men – so why let Ben get away with heinous things over and over again? We have seen it appear out of nowhere, “read” people, and be stopped by the Others’ security fence. We know that it lives underground and can be summoned. Theoretically, we have also seen it create evil “copies” of people for its own purposes (Rousseau’s boyfriend and John Locke). And we have also been lead to believe that it somehow saved Ben’s life … perhaps creating a soul-less copy of him?

I don’t see Jacob and the man from the beach as “powers.” I think they are the yin and yang of the universe … kind of like the light and dark backgammon pieces Locke showed Walt in the pilot episode. {Take another look at this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn-g8OmkEIE&feature=player_embedded.} What do you think Locke’s “secret” is? Wouldn’t it be wild if Walt and Locke became the new Jacob and [Esau]??

S: Why can't children be born on the island?
K: Children were able to be born on the island at one time. Ethan was born there, and apparently so was Daniel Faraday. There are swing sets at the Others camp, but we never see the children – not even the ones taken from the Oceanic survivors. Ben said he was born there, but we know that he wasn’t. More credibility to the theory that soul-less Ben was “born” in the smoke monster’s lair … or maybe Ben’s just lying again! Ha! I think “the incident” changed something. But Claire’s child and Sun’s are both safely off the island. If they return, it will change the way the story repeats as they were not there the first time.

S: They keep saying there is a war coming.
K: The war is for control. Jacob vs. [Esau]? Widmore vs. Ben? Good vs. evil? Who knows? What is in the shadow of that statue that will supposedly save them all? And once the statue becomes nothing more than a foot, does that mean that they can no longer be saved?

S: What does Widmore want?
K: Widmore seems to want what Ben has – primarily, the island.

S: What does Eloise want?
K: Eloise seems to want the same thing Richard wants. Unfortunately, we don’t know what that is. She is also willing to sacrifice her son to get it.
Perhaps she thinks she will get Daniel back (she may) in this way and that it was the only way to have him NOT die.

S: Would Penny ever have been born?
K: Who is Penny’s mother? She was not born on the island, so as long as Widmore is banished from there, it’s likely that Penny would always have existed. Why does Ben go after Penny, but not Daniel in his revenge for Alex’s death? When Ben says, “He changed the rules,” does that mean that he and Widmore have done all this before and Alex did not die before?

S: The tapestry that Jacob is weaving is consequential to me as it seems that each thread is a person/individual. We all count.
K: Yes, very significant.
And the whole question for Ben was about Free Will. "What about You" means to me - "Who do you want to be(come)?" The show has always had religious overtones.

I don't like it though if the other guy is in some way, Satan. I don't like it if it presents a dual diety situation. Jacob, by the way, had his name changed to Israel after his own encounters with God. Still in the Bible his name goes back and forth because none of us can be in that place all the time.

S: I am wondering what Ilana (Israeli name but not an Israeli accent) said when Richard answered by raising his hand and walking forward.
K: What lies in the shadow of the statue?
"Ille qui nos omnes servabit" >>> loosely translates to “That which will save us all” or “He who will protect us all.”

S: I thought Roger was Ben's father, and we saw him wearing his own uniform as it was he who shot Sayid....although yes.
K: He could have more than one uniform. This is just a rumor, though. Sayid wearing the Roger Workman uniform could be completely false. There is a similar rumor that you can see a LaFleur uniform on one of the corpse’s in the Dharma mass grave where Ben shot Locke.

WTF?

Extra TV is conducting a "poll" on who reality television star Kate Gosselin should now be dating. Poor Daniel Dae Kim seems to have made the list simply because he's Asian:

Flash Forwarding

ABC's new sci-fi series, Flash Forward -- which ran promotional trailers during the tail end of LOST's season 5 -- is now being called a "companion series" to LOST. Here's the plot:

A mysterious global event causes everyone to simultaneously experience, for two minutes and seventeen seconds, his or her life six months in the future. When they wake up from the "flash forward," everyone is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen. Many are dead in accidents involving vehicles, aircraft, and any other device needing human control.
A Los Angeles FBI agent named Mark Benford tries to figure out what exactly happened and why it happened. (Say it with me people: Hanso.) Along with his team, he creates a database of people's flash forwards from around the world called the Mosaic Collective (for which an interactive website has, of course, already been launched - check it out here: www.themosaiccollective.com).

It also just happens to star Sonya Walger (LOST's Penny) and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie).

And new ads identify its premier date as September 24, the same day as the Oceanic crash.

Thoughts?

Writer Sues Over LOST Concept

A now 78-year-old writer claims he wrote LOST thirty years ago -- and the network passed on it three times -- before handing it over to Cuse & Lindelof, but not giving him any credit.

He is suing for damages and a cut from all royalties and profits. Do you believe his story?

Claire Returns!

Confirmation of what we already knew -- with a teaser:

After sitting out last season, Emilie de Ravin will return as a full-time series regular for LOST's sixth and final season, Team Darlton confirms. "Damon and I are very excited to bring Claire back to the show," says Carlton Cuse, "and even more excited for people to experience just how she will return."

Quotes from Cuse/Lindelof on Season 6

"The end of the show will be a combination of trying to answer mysteries the audience still cares about, such as the statue and the Smoke Monster."

"We'll also be answering the skeletons in the cave question. We will answer the questions we feel are important and central to the plot."

"At the same time we will be trying to tell redemption stories about the characters. These characters do indeed have a destiny."

Lindelof on the Finale + Libby & Eko

Damon Lindelof: "We’ve been planning out the final season for four years now. And of all the talks we have had about the show, [reuniting all the castaways] is the subject that has come up the most. The ending was almost where we began, and we had to figure out how to get there. It's like a wedding where the reception is the part that requires the most planning and is the most fun to plan. We've exchanged our vows and I am ready to go party."

---

And as for telling Libby's backstory and what happened to Mr. Eko:

1) Lindelof confirmed that they approached Cynthia Watros several times to resolve Libby's story and she declined.

2) They had a FOUR season story arc for Eko and AAA said he did not want to live in Hawaii.

Not what we all wanted to hear, but there's much more at stake here so pick your battles people, pick your battles.

Season 6 Promo Is Jack's Eye After All

There's been quite a bit of speculation as to who's eye is actually shown in the Season 6 promo of LOST. Many thought it was not Jack but Kate. DarkUFO says it's Jack after all:

RIP John Locke

Viewers saw the body of a dead John Locke in the show's Season 5 finale. However, a very alive Terry O'Quinn, who plays Locke, was in Spartanburg on Thursday to play in the BMW Charity Pro-Am at Carolina Country Club.

Between holes, O'Quinn was happy to talk to fans about golf, the finale and the fate of his character in the show's final season, beginning in 2010. O'Quinn called himself an OK golfer, saying he would be happy with an 85 or under. "I played well on the front. A little bit rough on the back," he said as his group neared hole 17.

O'Quinn said he hasn't seen the finale and didn't know how the story was edited. "Don't tell me," he joked. "I want to be surprised." In the season cliffhanger, a bomb, which could prevent Flight 815 from ever crashing on the mysterious island, was detonated. As for his character, O'Quinn says he's really gone. Locke's dead body was rolled out of a metal box toward the end of the two-hour episode, baffling islanders who had been following a Locke imposter. Exactly who is now occupying Locke's body wasn't revealed. O'Quinn said it would be "a good guess" to assume it's a man seen with the infamous Jacob in the beginning of the episode.

"I think, unfortunately, I think it's ended for Locke. But I'm still there, as far as I know," O'Quinn said. "I don't know how it's going to end for this other guy. I'm sad. I miss John Locke, poor guy. He was a pawn." O'Quinn is gearing up to play a new character when the sixth season begins next year. As for the rest of the story line, he swears he has no idea. "Your guess is honestly as good as mine is," he said. "There's going to be some confrontation that will somehow, I'm guessing, have to do with Jack or Locke or something like that. I think these guys are just setting up good and evil. It's the way Locke said in the very beginning of the show: One is light and one is dark. Two sides. I think that's what we've got."

Thursday, May 14, 2009

LOST Thoughts

Has the entire show been a religious metaphor? Remember the conversation between Ben and Not-Locke? "So you've been following this guy your whole life -- without question -- and you've never even seen him?" That's God. Puts a whole new light on Jacob (who I liked much more than I was expecting to), the tapestry he was weaving, and the opening conversation on the beach! Thoughts??

---

When Ilana asks Richard what lies in the shadow of the statue, his Latin answer translates to: "That which will save us all."

---

No verification on this yet, but rumor has it that Sayid was wearing the "Roger. Workman." jumpsuit when he was shot ... meaning his bones are the ones found in Hurley's van.

Sawyer Becomes A Baby Daddy

Josh Holloway and wife Yessica welcomed a daughter on April 9 in Oahu, "People" has exclusively confirmed. They named their baby girl Java Kumala Holloway.

"Dad and mom are absolutely thrilled," a source close to the actor, 39, tells the magazine. "Everyone's happy and healthy." This is the first child for the couple, who have been married since 2004.

Holloway's LOST co-star Daniel Dae Kim knew the actor would enjoy fatherhood. "He'll be an incredible dad," Kim told "People" in February. "When you talk to him about his baby, his face completely lights up."

Ben's Got Some 'Splainin' To Do

Thursday, April 2, 2009

Great Episode!

Was very impressed with last night's episode of LOST! It was nice to see Sawyer admit that he has matured ... and even nicer to see the same in Kate and not dislike her so much anymore.

Poor little Benry. If you had the opportunity to save him or let him die (knowing what he would become), what would you do?

Hope you were listening closely to Miles' explanation of what's going on, because he was setting things up for the big death that's coming. The probability of it being Sawyer is growing each week! Wouldn't it be ironic if after all Sawyer did to save baby Benry, it turns out to be Ben who ends Sawyer's time on the island?

A Death Is Coming on LOST

TV Guide confirms that one of these characters will be the next to go -- Ben, Sawyer, Daniel, Jin, or Miles.

"Inside sources spill that a major character death is coming—and that the person who is leaving the show was not the first to know. Here's what I can tell you about this death:
* A current series regular is getting killed before the end of season five.
* The character who will die is someone who is much-loved by many of you fans.
* This is a real leaving-the-show death, à la Shannon or Charlie, not a quick-fix time-travel death like Jeremy Bentham/John Locke.

And a source close to the show tells me that the person who's being killed off just learned of their character's fate late last week, and the news hit hard. "Unfortunately, [he or she] found out after the script treatments were sent out to some of the crew on the set," says my source. "So it wasn't the best timing."

As for the timing of when this death will happen onscreen, I can only tell you that while the character's end is still a ways out, it will go down this season."

316...

Who's the guy who made it into first class despite the fact that Hurley bought all the remaining seats?

How could Kate leave Aaron? How could Sun leave her daughter? Didn't ANYONE think to ask how they were going to GET BACK once they saved everyone on the island??

I fear Ben's "promise to an old friend" was killing Penny. Sure hope she and Desmond are okay.

By the way, tonight's episode made it look like the canoes Sawyer & company found on the beach belonged to Jack & Kate (because of the airline info found inside) ... so they were already back on the island at the last jump.

'Lost' star says Smoke Monster secrets to emerge

Feb. 10, 2009, 6:58 PM EST
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- One of the biggest mysteries of LOST — the Smoke Monster — will be unveiled on the popular TV drama, and soon.

Actor Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin, said in an interview that the origin and nature of the malevolent dark cloud will be disclosed and viewers will even get a glimpse of its lair. Turns out the monster is as "old as the island" that's been home to the Oceanic jet-crash survivors and their foes.
Kim also cautioned against expectations that his character, Jin, will reunite with his wife, Sun (Yunjin Kim), even though Jin survived a freighter explosion and Sun returns to the island after escaping it.

Those events don't mean "they're particularly in the same place or chronologically in the same time," Kim said.

As for the atomic bomb that showed up in the "Jughead" episode, he said the show's producers rarely give something such prominence unless it counts in the island's mythology.
"That's a huge red herring if it's a red herring," Kim said, suggesting the bomb could help resolve plot points as the series ends in 2010.

Perhaps the time-traveling that's popped up this season might be one of those.

Spoilers from TV Guide

Q: Is Jin really back on Lost?
A: He really is, and Daniel Dae Kim really is still a series regular. Yay! My source tells me "He's not going anywhere," meaning, off the show. But of course, Jin is going lots of places! He's stuck a good two decades in the past right now with preggo Rousseau. Our East Coast correspondent, Breanne Heldman, met up with DDK at New York's ComicCon today, and he hinted that the Rousseau storyline would last for a while, saying, "She's around, let's put it that way." When asked if Jin will learn French, Daniel said slyly, "Who's to say he doesn't already know it?" We get the feeling he may already speak it, so this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship for young Rousseau and Jin.

Q: Will Jin and Sun reunite?
A: "Definitely," a source close to the show tells me. "And it may be sooner than you think." DDK says: "That, I think, you'll be surprised if and when you see it." I'm expecting lots of tears—onscreen and off (i.e. mine).

Q: Lance Reddick (now on Fringe) tells us he's coming back to Lost in the Feb. 25 episode. So get ready for more Matthew Abaddon freakiness!

Q: Is it just me or does it seem like Charlotte and Daniel knew each other before they got on the Island?
A: Ding, ding! I think you're on to something. Here's what Rebecca Mader herself told me on their relationship: "They must have a history. Because it's like they just got to this island and all of a sudden they appear to have—he apparently loves her, he's in love with her, which is huge." Hopefully we'll find out about it soon since someone is kicking the bucket this week, and it very well could be Charlotte.

Q: Will Charlotte die?
A: Rebecca Mader told me she's safe for now, but the emphasis was a bit too strong on the "for now" for my liking, and I'm hearing she may have been released from the show at some point to shoot a movie with George Clooney.

Who Has To Go Back - Technically?

If they ALL have to go back to the island, what about Michael & Walt? Michael, of course, can't go back. But why is no one looking for Walt?

Sneak Peaks of Ep 5.5: This Place Is Death

Thursday, February 5, 2009

I voted that a flash will occur before Jin can change the future. But later (earlier in the series) he could have said something to everyone - so it is odd.

I agree about the whispers. Now we know what the whispers are!

This has nothing to do with being an 'other'.... I felt all along it was Ben trying to get Kate to want to run (as she has a history of that way of problem solving!) by trying to get Aaron back. So she would be willing to meet them.

I think they all have to return so they can intersect with that point in time and 'not' spin the island out of its groove.

I did not see the first season and don't understand (can someone explain?) about Jack and Kate finding their own bones!?

Charlotte and Miles must have been children (Miles may be Marvin Candle's child, right?) on the island. I think if they find their 'constant' they don't die. I also think that we've been told that everyone has to return in order to save the rest of the people on the island. I think that's because the time travel will eventually kill them all. The island obviously was stable for awhile prior. And Widmore knows how to find the island....If Miles and Charlotte get to find their own constants, they may be okay.

It seems like LOST is a like a jigsaw puzzle, more than any other type of puzzle. We get pieces and areas begin to fill in to make a total picture.

This is the best season yet. That's for sure. I think the rest of this season will be about getting them together and back - next season will be about resolving the problems of the island.

Questions: What happened to Hanso? Who is trying to kill Sayid? Where is Sun's baby? Who/when were the people in the canoes?
