EW reports that we will be getting some answers when Lost returns. We'll get the scoop on Jack's tattoos, Locke's wheelchair, and Desmond's "abilities". Damon Lindelof even goes so far as to say that Desmond's new powers will be a big time factor in the remainder of season 3.

Lindelof also says the following about Juliet: "Her agenda is more in line with the castaways than we originally suspected but that does not mean she is not sinister."

About the implosion of the Hatch he says, "There is definitely more to this story. You will get a better picture of what happened when Desmond turned the fail safe key."

Finally, on the question of who is Jacob and why is Jack not on his list Carlton Cuse answered, "The answer lies further downstream in the ongoing story." And Lindelof reminds us that character names in Lost are not assigned without reason.

2006-11-06T13:20:00.000-07:00

Once again Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof sat down to answer questions about Lost. Here's a summary of all the new and interesting things they said:

1. They killed Eko because they had a deal with AAA that he would be on for a little more than a year and no more.
2. There are other Tailies alive, we just don't know where they are. We will be seeing Cindy, the flight attendant, and Zack and Emma, the kids, in episode 3.08.
3. The assumptions that the Monster was downloading memories from Eko in the 23rd Psalm and that Yemi was a manifestation of the island generated by the Monster are good ones.
4. Eko said "You're next" and Locke interpreted it as "We're next".
5. Eko died on his own terms.
6. The producers wouldn't answer if the island was constantly moving.
7. We might come to learn what happened to all the doctors in future episodes.
8. Our time on "alcatraz" will be over in episode 3.06.
9. Damon and Carlton use The Stand and Charles Dickens novels as good models for telling a long, sprawling, serialized character-based story.
10. We will return to the Black Rock.

Nikki and Paulo Get a Flashback Episode

2006-11-05T18:21:00.000-07:00

The Tail Section is reporting that Nikki and Paulo will get a flashback episode that explores what they were doing while all the original adventures from season one and two were happening. Should be fun to see what the world of the island looks like from a different, less involved perspective.

Mr. Eko Says Goodbye

2006-11-03T15:46:00.001-07:00

Here's a link to a great L.A. Times article about the end of Mr. Eko. The best part about the article is when Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse chime in about why it was Mr. Eko's time. I've copied that part below for your enjoyment.

"With the other characters who died — Boone, Shannon, Ana Lucia and Libby — "there was a quotient of shock value but there was the idea that it made sense, that it was the characters' time," co-creator Damon Lindelof said. "I think the audience may feel that Mr. Eko was taken before his time. The way that he dies is very significant. It is more spectacular, as it were."

When planning Mr. Eko's untimely demise, the writers looked at the episode in the second season in which Mr. Eko came face-to-face with the monster inhabiting the island and refused to relent, Lindelof said. What if the monster did not give up, as it seemed at the time? What if the monster was "just intelligence-gathering for a later date?"

"We wanted to make clear that the monster remains a dangerous force," executive producer Carlton Cuse said."

The Ausiello Report features an interview with Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof about why Eko kicked the bucket. Apparently it was in the plans that his arc would only last a certain amount of time.

Episode 3.05 The Cost of Living

2006-11-02T07:29:00.000-07:00

First, a moment of silence for Eko, the best character to come out of the tail section.

Alright, now that's taken care of...what a great episode. It had a little bit of everything we have come to love about Lost. Trust issues, psychological issues, moral choices, a quest through the jungle, a white rabbit, and the Monster. Oh yeah, and the flashback was first rate. The flashback was right up there with Eko's from the 23rd Psalm. He was right, they had no idea who he was.

So Eko experiences a white rabbit much like Jack (his father), Hurley (Dave), Kate (the black horse), and Shannon (Walt). The white rabbit led the follower into harm's way with Hurley (suicide) and Shannon (to Ana Lucia's gun). It is becoming increasingly bad news to follow the white rabbit into the jungle. The white rabbits must be real because otherwise how would Eko's tent have caught fire? Also, the whole "You're talking to me as if I was your brother" line made me wonder who is behind the white rabbits. Ben? Some other group? Someone out there is making people believe they see something from their past. If the end game is just killing people, that is sort of an odd way to go about it. Is the Monster a greater threat than the Others? If it is, great, how are you supposed to kill a moving tower of smoke? Jack even tried dynamite and that didn't do anything. At least he's having better luck with his current captors.

How did Jack figure out that it was Ben that had the spinal tumor? Can he figure out the height or age of a person by looking at a spine. I'd be interested to hear from a spinal surgeon on that one. Anyway, Jack is getting ahead of the Others now. His psychological gamesmanship and the ability to see those x-rays for what they were has helped him gain control despite being imprisoned. Good old Jack.

They burnt the body instead of burial. I guess they didn't want the bears to dig it up.

So Desmond did think/know that the computer could be used for something else. That would have been nice to know at the beginning of season two so that Michael didn't get tricked so bad. Since it didn't end up working I'm assuming that it was not Desmond's ability to see the future that made him tell Locke and Sayid about the computer.

Ben believes in God because two days after being diagnosed with a tumor a spinal surgeon fell from the sky. Interesting.

Yemi's body was missing from the plane, Christian Shepard's body was missing from his coffin. Why does the Monster or whoever is behind the Monster need or want the remains of people connected to others on the island? At least we are seeing a pattern.

I am starting to like Nikki and Paulo. They just want to part of the in crowd. Good thing Locke lets them. I also like Paulo's indifference to a lot of what is happening. Going the bathroom in the Pearl Station. Classic moment. Nikki is good because we need a new female character that doesn't have quite the outlaw back story of Kate or the mystery of Juliet. Plus, she's hot, that's always a plus.

So Juliet does think Ben is bad. She wants Jack to purposely screw up the surgery to kill Ben. Can he trust her? She is good looking. But I doubt Jack will be able to kill, even if he does want her. He is too bent on saving people. I think he would need to know more about Ben and how "bad" he really was in order to kill him.

And now the Monster wants to kill the rest of the group? Great. Why did it discriminate before? Did blowing up the Hatch piss the Monster off? Apart from that nothing has really changed. Darn you black smoke!

Episode 3.06 Spoiler

2006-11-01T19:33:00.000-07:00

I found this "Kate's choice" spoiler on a random blog through Technorati. I'll post the entry below.

"Someone from TWoP read the script of Kate's episode and Kate's choice is.... SAWYER. No, this is not a surprise for me but still, is very very good to hear. BUT the good thing is... Okay, Sawyer tells Kate there is two islands. There is a bickering and at some point I think (from what I read)Sawyer says he wanted to give them a chance (I think there is a double meaning because I think he meant chance to escape and to be a couple or whatever). Dun Dun Dun DUUUNNN than Kate KISS HIMMMMMMM *dies of excitement*. The person didn't want to read all the script because she didn't want to be really spoiled so she stopped there... but she implies they may have sex. Just like Damon implied, now if they did it MY TV WILL COMBUST and I WILL NEED A DOCTOR. Must teach my sister to make a CPR!!!!

Spoiler: 'Sawyer tells Kate that there are two islands, there's no point trying to escape, then they bicker about it and then, well, I stopped reading (see above) but you probably imagine what happens next. Think dirty thoughts'."

Elizabeth Mitchell Interview on TVguide.com

2006-11-01T18:22:00.000-07:00

Here is an interview with Elizabeth Mitchell that offers a tiny (and I mean tiny) bit of insight into her character and also reveals how little the writers and producers let the actors know about what's going on.

Who is Patchy?

2006-11-01T18:17:00.000-07:00

Gregg Nations, Script Supervisor for Lost, answered a question on The Fuselage about whether "Patchy" from last week's preview was Radinsky (formerly Kelvin's partner in the Hatch). Here's what he said:

Radzinsky is in the previews? Uh, no. We haven't seen Radzinsky because he's dead. We could only see him in a flashback. So you're a little off with that guess.

So that means "Patchy" is someone who is alive, right? Guess we'll see tonight.

Lost Winds Towards Startling Mini-Season Finale

2006-11-01T10:23:00.000-07:00

BuddyTV reports that if you have left Lost this season you may want to check it out these last two weeks because of the startling revelation that the producers say will change everything about what we think we know about the island.

Don't worry, other Lost fans won't be mad at you for jumping back on the bandwagon, we want as many people watching Lost as possible. The watercooler conversation is a lot better that way.

Official Lost Podcast Summary 10-31-06

2006-10-31T06:43:00.000-07:00

Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof returned to the podcast, this time with exclusive revelations and spoilers. Enjoy.

1. There is a special Stephen King reference hidden in Every Man for Himself (they didn't say but my money is on the bunny).
2. As for implications of the second island, they said only that escape would not be as easy as originally thought.
3. In the Glass Ballerina, Jae did commit suicide. They said the mystery surrounding Jae's death was unintentional.
4. They mentioned Sawyer's daughter Clementine but said nothing definitive about her.
5. There are two major outcomes of Colleen's death: the x-ray picture that Jack noticed and that Pickett, Colleen's husband, might seek some vengeance.
6. Cost of Living is an Eko story and someone significant will die.
7. They plan to do the break in the middle of the season thing next year as well.
8. The polar bears escaped during the collapse of Dharma like the lions at the Baghdad zoo that escaped during the fall of Baghdad.
9. The bears have eaten 20 people so far (said in a we might be joking but you don't know type of way)
10. No, Ben is not "evil because the polar bear stole his toy truck when he was little."
11. As the hatch began to implode a vacuum was created which heated the particles of air and created a subsequent explosion.
12. Charlie was not directly involved in the explosion.
13. Eko will not wake up blind.
14. Yes, Kate does love Sawyer.
15. There is a good possibility of discovering a gay character on the show. 4 to 1 odds.
16. They are currently writing episode 10, which will be a Hurley flashback.
17. When characters don't know who died, Scott or Steve, it is just an extension of the same old gag. There is no large significance to the Scott/Steve thing.
18. The turbine man from the pilot was Gary Troupe, the author of Bad Twin.
19. Paulo and Nikki will be in episode 3.05.
20. The show will eventually answer the question of what all the other survivors are doing while Jack and company are going off on their adventures. It would "make a good episode."

Juliet Shoots Someone

2006-10-29T19:20:00.000-07:00

Although not until February…

According to an Entertainment Weekly article:

On a remote Hawaiian beachscape where turquoise waves slither up tan sands, Josh Holloway, Evangeline Lilly and several others (including Others) are filming a whopper of a scene for a February episode of LOST. Spotting this reporter through the trees, Elizabeth Mitchell scoots over… “Well,” she says, cheerfully excusing herself, “I’m going to go shoot someone.” Cameras rolling, she expertly wields a Sig Sauer and pumps two bullets into someone shocking; the still-standing are left gasping as she coldly lowers the gun.

Special thanks to Nikki at Approaching Lost for the tip.

Episode 3.04 Every Man for Himself

2006-10-25T23:47:00.000-06:00

Wow, gotta say I enjoyed tonight's episode a lot. Sawyer flashbacks are always fun because of the cons. This time I knew it would be a con from the very beginning and it was still great to watch. I do wonder if Cassidy is just conning Sawyer about his daughter to recover some of her stolen funds or if Sawyer really does have a daughter. Hopefully we will be told the answer in a later flashback. I wouldn't be surprised if she was getting back at him. That option has my vote. The pacemaker had me going for a bit. I was convinced that the Others would go that far to stop him from escaping but was not aware that the technology needed for that process is most likely out of reach.

Gotta love Jack trying to save someone again. Jack tries to fix things, that's what he does. His character is most effective when that's what's going on. Apparently, he's there to fix an Other. Someone commenting about the episode on Pop Candy wrote that they think it is a x-ray of Locke and that's why he couldn't walk. I'm not buying. I guess the Black Cloud could have taken the x-ray...but still, I'm not buying it. I believe that Jack will get the chance to fix someone and succeed. It will probably be someone that they need to defeat the crazy pirates (or so it seems from the promo) in the series finale. I also want Jack to get a chance to "fix" Juliet. She needs someone like Jack, how convenient that he landed on the island.

Desmond can most definitely predict the future. The questions are how much does he know and if he will be able to protect everyone. His ability will come in handy with those crazy pirates lurking. Maybe they are descendants of the Black Rock. How come Rosseau doesn't know about the crazy pirates? Maybe she just figured they were all Others. Did the crazy pirates steal the children and the rest of the tailies? Is that why Goodwin and Ethan needed to go make lists? So they knew who was on the plane before the crazy pirates started infiltrating or kidnapping? So many questions.

What do the Others need Sawyer for? Will he be a key part of fighting the crazy pirates? He is one of the stars...

While Sawyer was waking up, Mr. Friendly or Tom, was saying that ever since the Hatch blew up the Others' communications haven't been working. Makes sense. That electromagnetic energy would destroy a lot of electronics. Did it mess up the compass in Michael and Walt's boat? Will they be back? That puts the Others at a big disadvantage if they have to face the crazy pirates. No way of communicating with the outside world. And another thing, why didn't the crazy pirates attack the subdivision that the Others live in? They have to have ways of protecting themselves.

Paulo was kind of ticked about Desmond taking his five iron. How can you resent people for trying to save the day? I'd be interested to see what makes that guy tick. That is, after we learn how Locke got paralyzed. Of course, seeing how things are going, that will probably be the flashback for the series finale.

The second island. Hhhmm...I'm guessing it's hidden from the mainland somehow? That's one question they will have to answer pretty quickly because Locke is gonna attempt a rescue.

So maybe we have misunderstood the Others and they are really trying to prevent the crazy pirates from taking over the world. They definitely weren't the best at making themselves understood and certainly don't mind hurting people (but not killing mind you!). A little "Can you guys help us destroy the crazy pirates before they take over the world?" could have gone a long way.

Even though tonight raised a whole bunch of questions I feel that they were all questions that are leading us somewhere. We are moving towards something big. It's like we are on a roller coaster that is climbing and somewhere along the way we are going to reach the top and it is going to rocket us down. Of course we will probably have to climb again and take a second drop before the end of the show...but I'm ok with that. If only it were Wednesday tomorrow...sigh...

Official Lost Podcast Summary 10-25-06

2006-10-25T13:20:00.000-06:00

This week's official podcast was pretty short due to Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof's absence. Apparently, they were too busy making the actual TV show to be able to record the podcast. In their absence there was an interview with AAA.

AAA said what he liked most about his character, Eko, is that he fits no stereotype. He is a mass murderer with devotion who has a "redemptive quality" that makes him accessible to the viewers.

AAA also stated that the sort of kidnapping and murder by gangsters and warlords that was depicted in "The 23rd Psalm" does not really happen in Nigeria. However, he said that it was still an extremely well-received episode in his home country.

What AAA thinks that makes Lost so interesting is the dynamic that appears because no character is safe. He believes it adds to the tension and the overall arc of each character. "Week to week you have no idea if a character will be able to overcome a nemesis". He also ominously hinted that more of that would be appearing in season 3 "for sure"!!

Lost Spoilers for Kristen at E!Online

2006-10-24T10:32:00.000-06:00

The following is an excerpt from Kristen at E!Online Hot A's Column.

Though I spent this past Monday twitching from chat withdrawals, I really do love the new site! My Q: On Lost, is Kate's "love confession" distinct from her notorious "choice?" Or are the two things one and the same? —Leah Kate

From what I’ve heard, it is one and the same. Though I’m only 99 percent sure on that, given how things have been changing from the script! Don’t forget that I’ll be watching this Wednesday’s Lost with you (at 9 p.m. Pacific Time) on the message boards. And ooh, mama, it’s a crazy episode! Not only do you see the most dramatic exchange between Kate and any man ever on this show (hint: It is a life-or-death love confession), but you can expect the following happenings:

An animal “dies”
An Other dies
Sawyer has a heart-wrenching storyline
Sawyer finds his Westmoreland and someone else very close to him
We find out Juliet and Jack have one very big thing in common

Episode 3.03 Further Instructions

2006-10-19T07:32:00.000-06:00

Well, that was a pretty good ep. Locke flashbacks are always cool. We are definitely seeing a pattern with him trusting the wrong people again and again. First, the weed growing "family" then the under cover sheriff. I like how at the end of the flashback he himself realizes it is a big time pattern and is disgusted with himself for allowing it to happen. I can't believe the polar bear just dragged Eko away. The polar bear was absent all of season 2 and returns to take someone. Somebody needs to kill that bear, or at least point him in the direction of the Others. From the bones in the bear cave, he has apparently eaten quite a few islanders. Who were the people that got eaten? We learned where Locke got his experience with guns. Still waiting for the "what happened to put him in a wheelchair" flashback. Why couldn't Locke talk when he woke up? How did the hatch implode and the three of them make it out alive? I guess that will be the subject of a flashback later on. So, from the smoke house scene, I understood that John can get messages from the island whenever he wants. That could come in handy. He couldn't do anything for Kate, Sawyer, and Jack right then and Claire and Charlie were ok "for now". Very interesting. I thought Ian Somerhalder did a good job with his return performance. Another thing, even he referred to himself in John's terms as a "sacrifice the island demanded". On to Desmond. The hatch blew his clothes off and gave him the ability to see the future? Crazy. And only Hurley knows about it. Someone that can see the future will always come in handy. Take Heroes for example, that's the only way they are going to be able to beat the bad guys this season. Nikki and Paulo didn't come across as the most lovable new castaways in their first appearance, but maybe they never will be very loved. Will their appearance be good or bad news for our current set of castaways. I guess Desmond could always own them with his powers though, so they don't stand a chance of launching a coup and him not knowing.
As for my theories, I think the saying on Eko's Jesus stick may have been telling Locke where to look for Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. We shall see.
In the previews for next week, it appears Sawyer is going to be tortured until Kate confesses her undying love for him. It also seems that they will make Jack watch and in that way drive him to Juliet. I'm hoping when Locke comes to get them that Juliet escapes with them. I wonder when that escape will happen. Episode 6? Episode 7 and 8 are probably more likely alternatives so that we have to come back after the hiatus.

Official LOST Podcast Summary

2006-10-17T16:28:00.000-06:00

This is a summary of everything I learned from listening to this week's Official Lost Podcast. By the way, this was one of the better and more informative podcasts AND included spoilerish details about the rest of season 3. I plan to do a summary of every podcast so check back every Tuesday afternoon/night to find it.

Caution: This contains spoilers.

The podcast started with Terry O' Quinn expressing his joy at having the chance to destroy the computer at the end of season 2. Then, in regards to Locke's admission that he was wrong about the button to Desmond, O'Quinn said "Maybe there'll be some evidence to the contrary this season."

Then the podcast moved over to Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof for their usual banter and q&a session. Here's a list of the interesting things they said:

1. Pickett and Colleen are an item.
2. They had decided in season 2 that Sun had actually had an affair with Jae.
3. Things are looking good for Sawyer and Kate (as a couple).
4. When Ben said that he has been living on the island all his life it implies that there were people on the island before the Dharma Initiative, which started around 1980 (as per the orientation films). Rosseau arrived on the island about the same time as the Dharma people. Carlton also said that one should also remember the statue and the Black Rock.
5. We will see the return of Locke as man of the jungle.
6. We will probably be seeing more of Shannon.
7. A confirmation of if you're dead you're dead on Lost. You will only return through flashbacks.
8. We will find the Flame Station in season 3.
9. We will find out about Jack's tattoos in season 3.
10. Assuming that Ben is talking about himself in season 2 when he is talking about the leader of the Others is a good assumption, but don't close the door on the possibility of another leader.
11. Claire and Charlie could become another Lost triangle.
