Entertainment Weekly Reveals Lost Clues

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.

Episode 3.04 Every Man for Himself

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...

Episode 3.03 Further Instructions

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.

Lost S3E2

Now that the site has been redone and reposted, let's get down to business.

Another great episode. I've not usually a fan of Sun and Jin flashback episodes. That being said, I actually liked the flashbacks in this epsiode better than the first episode of the season. Maybe I just don't like the episodes that feature the dark side of the characters I like. I like Jack and think Sun is passable. So, it's ok that Sun has a dark side but not so ok that Jack has one. Or maybe I'm overanalyzing this whole thing. Anyway, I like the episode. I thought Sawyer analyzing his captors and trying to figure out their weaknesses was right in line with his character. He is no doubt trying to figure out a way to con them. I saw a post on the The Fuselage where the person posting thought that Kate had turned a little wussy recently. I agree with that. Where is the bravado she showed early on in the series. Maybe she's breaking from all the stress. I like the Red Sox cameo and the effect it had on Jack. Every Sox fan was stunned by the victory and the dramatic fashion of it, but to have it be the first tv you have watched in 66 days, or better yet, the first contact you had with the outside world for 66 days, it would be absolutely stunning. Now hopefully Jack will pretend to be a pawn in the Other's plans and then betray them in order to be the one who "fixes" the situation with the other castaways. I am interested to see the effect that Sun shooting the new other has on her standing with them. I want to see how Sayid reacts to the failure of his plan, I can't wait to see Hurley again and just see how he handles the whole ordeal, and most of all, I am excited to see what happened with Locke, Desmond, and Eko. They are such a great part of the show, it was hard to go 2 episodes without them.
