... damn. Well hopefully he'll be the one to die at the end of the season instead of Claire. I can't stand Michael.What if he's like Desmond and when he and Walt were crossing the barrier he went back in time and forgot all the events from the island? Naw, he'd still be a jerk.
1) Michael, Desmond and Tunisian Polar Bear been "bounced around time and space".
2) We will find out why Walt is so tall and why he keeps showing up on the island, also because of time travel.
3) Michael was sent by Ben on a mission, thus is his man on the boat.
Teddy in New York: I’ve been so patient trying to not read spoilers about the Oceanic Six, but I’m about ready to crack! When will we learn the final two?
Yunjin tells us, “You are going to find out who the Oceanic Six members are, finally, at the end of episode seven.” That’s this week! Until then, bite down on a stick.
Nate in Long Island: Anything worth looking forward to on Lost?
Cynthia Watros (Libby) is back next week! Not in the present, of course. But still, I’ll take it. And she reappears the same week that Michael (Harold Perrineau) really reappears, so that’s all kinds of awesome. Also, did you hear there’s a funeral this week? Oops. If not, I may have said too much...
Franci in Paramus, New Jersey: Any news about Lost?
You know what I said in the Watch with Kristin Show about taller ghost Walt being explained in episode eight? Sometimes I talk crazy, and time travel will not explain Walt's wanderings (at least not anytime soon). Walt does appear in episode eight, but 100-percent-trustworthy sources tell me that during his blink-of-an-eye appearance, "He is exactly the size that a nine-year-old should be." And Walt's Island visitations are alluded to in episode 10, but that's it for explaining the mysteries of Walt for the rest of this much-shorter-than-it-should-be season four.
(summary from a post at The Fuselage)
* Confirmed that "Ji Yeon" is a Sun/Jin episode
* Confirmed that 4.8 is entitled "Meet Kevin Johnson" and strongly implied that, in fact, we will meet said Mr. Johnson
* We will see Harper again. She is designated as a recurring Other
* The show, "Missing Pieces," and "Orchid" video: Canon. Everything else? Not so much. (non-canon material: Lost Experience, find815, "Bad Twin," "Via Domus") [Another poster clarified this point: "I just listed for myself, and Darlton didn't say that things like TLE or Bad Twin are NOT canon, they just said that you don;t need to follow those things to understand the story being told. In fact, they said nuggets within those elements are canon."]
* Ben knows exactly why Widmore is looking for the island. We will definitely find out why this season.
* We find out who Ben's man on the boat is in 4.7.
* Locke will become more active in resolving his continuing crisis of faith this season. Locke is the "priest" character of the show (see other stories where a person of faith undergoes a crisis of faith as a major story point)
* We will see more Christian Shepard going forward. It is a good question to ponder what the role Christian has to play in the lives of Jack and the other survivors.
* We will see the Smoke Monster again this season. We will learn something new about the monster (as we do each time we see it).
* Sawyer would prefer Ginger to Mary Ann, but he prefers Kate to both.
Holy shit! The captain is Wolf West!
Believe me, he ain't friendly.![]()
Question: I've been in London for four weeks and have dropped your name multiple times to Brits obsessed with Lost. Surely, recruiting overseas Ausholes earns the name of the person on the freighter! — Elizabeth
Ausiello: Actually, it earns you something even better: some exclusive casting prattle! I have it on good authority that Nestor Carbonell has inked a deal to reprise his role as ageless island dweller Richard in at least one of this season's final five episodes. In confirming the news, exec producer Carlton Cuse (i.e., the good authority I spoke of earlier) described the former Cane thesp as "a tremendous actor" whose "return will lead to some very interesting revelations."
Question: I need to know who is on that boat on Lost! — Kelly
Ausiello: Well, Kelly, there’s Sayid and Desmond (1996 and 2004 editions) and the corpse of Fisher Stevens and some guy named Keamey… and I know that’s not who you mean, but the identity of Ben’s boat buddy is one scoop that Team Darlton is not letting slip, at least not until tomorrow night. In the meantime, try this Lost head-scratcher on for size: I have it on good authority that an upcoming, post-strike episode features both a pair of Arabic-speaking, horseback-riding Bedouins and a luxury doorman of British extraction. Without knowing whether it’s a flashback or flash-forward, whose episode could that be? I had an extra bowl of crazy this morning, so I’m going with a consciousness-imploding guess: Charles Widmore, who is: A) a shadowy figure who has been coming into focus in recent weeks, B) a rich British dude and C) perhaps interested in those polar bear skeletons Charlotte found in the deserts of Tunisia, no?
Question: Any Lost news? — Franci
Ausiello: You know that series-regular death I alluded to a few weeks back? Well, tomorrow night's the night! But riddle me this, Lost fans: When is a death not a death, but a brand-new mystery all its own? Meanwhile, I was going to close this week's column by revealing the identity of the remaining members of Lost's super-cool clique, the Oceanic Six, but most of you seem to have it already figured out: *o* *a* *** **e **l* **** *i***.
''I was wondering about The Numbers. Are we going to find out the meaning behind them?'' —Amy
Amy: A couple years ago, Lost staged an alternate-reality game called ''The Lost Experience'' that, with great fanfare, provided an answer to this mystery. The Numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) are values in a mathematical formula called the Valenzetti Equation, which was designed to estimate the date in which (cue dramatic music) the world as we know it will come to an end. The Dharma Initiative was trying to harness the powers of the Island to change the equation so as to prolong the life of the world. Now, we've also seen how the Numbers play an almost supernatural role in Hurley's life. However, ''The Lost Experience'' didn't address that. Personally, I have become content with accepting the Numbers as a thematic idea — an inexplicable but dramatically potent manifestation of fate, fatalism, and freaky phenomena that defies easy understanding. But I can understand why other fans might want a more concrete explanation. So: Will the show ever give us specific Numbers resolution? I ran the question by Damon Lindelof, and here's what he had to say:
''There will be more ON the Numbers, yes. But explaining WHY and HOW they are magic is like trying to explain why some magic kids are born to two muggles. The Valenzetti Equation USES those numbers, but trust me, they were around LONG before the early '60s. But for fans waiting for an advanced dissertation on the mythic significance of the numbers, I direct them to Qui-Gon Jinn's speech to Shmi Skywalker regarding midichlorians and pose the following question: Happy now?''
