Mr. Eko Says Goodbye

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."

Canadian TV 3.06 Promo

Episode 3.06 Spoiler

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'."

Who is Patchy?

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

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.
