Hey Freckles, I got your 2 'Eggtown' sneak peeks right here...

 

[CaptainWacky]

Oooh, Alan Dale in a non-Desmond episode...he's the man behind the curtain! Maybe.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I wonder where Widmore appears...in Juliet's flashback? A flash forward? or in the present? Can't wait to find out.

I just read the ending to Eggtown, and I hate myself somewhat, but it's I hadn't already heard. No more spoilers. I wish I had something that would shock the frak out of me when I read spoilers.

Wait, where are the spoilers for the ending to Eggtown?

 

[Capn Flukie]

^ On DarkUFO's site. Even though it's a spoiler thread here, it's customary not to post the entire details of an episode in full. Gotta save something.

One of these seven will die by episode 9

 

[Gertch]

^ Two or three of them I wouldn't care. But one in particular I don't want to see go.

Spoiler: death rumor

One rumor I've heard is that Jin dies. We think the episodeis showing a Jin flashback but then boom! Jin is dead. Then we realize it's a flash forward since he dies off island. Which would be good for Daniel Dae Kim since he'd still be on the show at least until the Oceanic Six actually leave the island.

 

[CaptainWacky]

The only one out that list I'd think is safe for sure is Sawyer.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Oh crap! FOUR more sneak peeks for 'Eggtown'!

Oh so tempting!

Ok, just one...

edit: ok the second and fourth ones are the same as the two posted upthread...

 

[Gertch]

Yeah, right. Just one.

I'm staying away. I felt dirty for watching the ones before last weeks show.


btw, I think your cat is in heat.

From Ausiello:

Question: Pre-strike, Cynthia Watros was slated to return to Lost as Libby in the second half of the season. Now that we're probably only getting five of this season's back eight, is there any word on whether she still figures into the plans? - Brian


Ausiello: Libby actually pops up in the final pre-strike episode (now airing in late April), and the original plan was for her to return for at least one or two more this season. Whether or not that's still happening is an open question. I imagine that's one of many issues Team Darlton is hammering out as we speak.

Question: More Lost scoopage, please! - Barb


Ausiello: You've probably seen this clip from tomorrow's episode of Chef Locke delivering two eggs over easy to Ben in solitary. Well, wait until you see the breakfast he whipped up for his other prisoner. Hint: It's bursting with flavor and, if digested properly, quite the appetite suppressant.

Question: What can you tell us about the character dying on Lost? Have they been on the show since the beginning? - Bonasi


Ausiello: Yes, this person is an original 815er. And as far as major Lost deaths go, this one veers from tradition in one significant way.

From the new podcast:

Some of the more pertinant details:

Watch the Orchid video to understand the polar bear in Tunisia.

* Charlotte's name is tied to CS Lewis-Narnia.

There was a time fluctuation with the rocket experiment.

We will see Libby soon.

Jack, Kate, Sayid and Hurley are 4 of the Oceanic 6. We will find out the other 2 soon, but they said they would pull a trick on us.

 

[Starbreaker]

That's just confirmation about the death from what's been rumoured above. That one I did not mean to get spoiled on. I don't know how it happened.

Some highlights from an Entertainment Weekly interview with Lindelof and Cuse

DOC JENSEN: Another popular theory making the rounds is that we're dealing with alternate realities. For example, there are people who think the flash-forwards are merely possible future scenarios, not written in stone.

CARLTON CUSE: We want people to believe in the stakes of the show. The problem with alternative realities is that you never know when the rug is going to be pulled out from under you. We want the audience to believe that the jeopardy is real. Postulating alternative realities would be an escape valve that would be damaging that as a narrative value.

DAMON LINDELOF: You can get away with it in Heroes, where there is an apocalyptic future you want to avoid. But we're doing the opposite. We want to work toward a future where Jack is absolutely miserable and wants to go back to the Island. Everything we present to the audience has to be factual.

CUSE: We want the audience to believe that is THE future. We don't want people thinking, ''Well, since there are five iterations of this, I'm not going to invest in what's happening to the characters.''

LINDELOF: We're not going to tell you that we're against bending the time/space continuum. We are very for it. Carlton and I are PRO time-space continuum bending! But we're ANTI-paradox. Paradox creates issues. In Heroes, Masi Oka's character travels back from the future to say, ''You must prevent New York from being destroyed.'' But if they prevent New York from being destroyed, Masi Oka can never travel back from the future to warn you, because Future Hiro no longer exists. Right? So when we start having those conversations at Lost, we go, ''This show is already confusing enough as it is.'' To actually have characters traveling through time has to be handled very deftly.

CUSE: For example, the fifth episode of the season [airing next week] deals with time travel and operates in different time periods. It was a tough story to break. But we adhere to our rule: no paradox.

DOC JENSEN: How would you describe the general structure of the season?

CARLTON CUSE: This year, it's all about the castaways' relationship to the Freighter folk. Since day one, their goal has been to get off the Island. Now our heroes will find themselves defending the very island they wanted to leave. The future hints at the fact that these folks have a deeper connection to the Island than they themselves realized.

DAMON LINDELOF: The big mystery looming over this season is, how did some people get off the Island and what happened to the people who didn't? That's the mystery that we owe the answer to at the end of the season, in addition to who's in the coffin. We could be winky about the coffin all the way through season 5. But that was one of the first things we talked about when we got back to work on the new episodes: We definitely have to show who was in the coffin. That's the primary super-structure of the season. As a result of that, certain thematic elements — the element of fate or supernatural elements as they relate to the monster and Jacob — are certainly in play but not as interesting to us this season as these questions: Why do some of the characters leave? How do they leave? What are the circumstances under which they leave? Why do some stay? Is it a choice? Is it an accident? Both?

CUSE: There are larger cosmic questions involved in that. Daniel Faraday's rocket experiment in the Sayid episode, which established a time differential on the Island, was a very important scene in that it sets the table for things that come into play in the future of the show. We've learned a lot about our characters' relationship to the Island, but now we're going to learn their relationship to the outside world once they've been on the Island. This is an important new idea to the show.

My annual inquiry: Will we be dealing with the Adam and Eve skeletons this season?

LINDELOF: No. But they will be addressed.

DOC JENSEN: You've certainly picked some interesting names for your Freighter folk. How should we be interpreting them?

DAMON LINDELOF: With Miles Straum, we just thought it would be cool if his name sounded like ''maelstrom.'' Charlotte Lewis was an obvious reference to C.S. Lewis and an important clue to places we're going at the end of the season.

CARLTON CUSE: And an important clue to Charlotte's own, as-yet-untold important backstory.

LINDELOF: One of our producers, Eddie Kitsis, has been pitching to us ''Frank Lapidus, Helicopter Pilot'' for years. Daniel Faraday is an obvious shout-out to Michael Faraday, scientist and physicist.

CUSE: As is Minkowski, who's on the Freighter. Those names are clues related to the space/time issues that will become more significant downstream.

For the record, is the official lingo here ''the Freighter folk''?

LINDELOF: I like ''Freighter folk'' because you wonder if there's an album cover out there somewhere with all of them, and they have The Mamas and The Papas outfits on.

CUSE: ''Freighter folk'' is more benign. And they're not the only people on that freighter. You're going to meet some other people on the Freighter who have another name, and in contrast to those folks these freighter folk are very...uh, folkish.

The Sayid episode established that Ben's got this list of bad people that need executing. What can you say about these people?

CUSE: We'll know by the end of the season that there will be two alternative explanations for why Oceanic 815 is in the trench at the bottom of the ocean. It will not be clear which story one should believe. [To be clear, Cuse is saying the mystery of Ben's list is linked to this wreckage.]

LINDELOF: Both stories will be presented and both stories will have legitimate facts presented on their behalves.

CUSE: The act of taking a plane, filling it with dead bodies and putting it at the bottom of the ocean connotes a group that is pretty freakin' powerful. You should be worried about the people involved in either scenario capable of doing something like that.

The whole interview was pretty interesting.
