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.

Wonder how long it will be before we see promo shots for Season 6?

LOST Quietly Announces Identity of 4-Toed Statue

Thanks to EW for the heads-up. If you want to know the identity of the statue, click here: http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=recap#t=162212&d=201648.

And here are some of the symbols associated with the identity:

LOST's Final Scene Already Known

News from TV Guide:
Cuse & Lindelof already know the final image of the series finale ... Matthew Fox has said that he knows too (so it's a pretty safe bet that Jack makes it to the end).

Juliet's New Day Job

So far, ABC has ordered six episodes:

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."

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.
