Lindelof, Cuse talk new Lost cast

Show creators break radio silence, confirm flurry of casting rumors; Jeremy Davies, Jeff Fahey to both be recurring.

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the two showrunners for ABC's meta-drama Lost, love messing with people's minds. The pair holds the answers to some of today's greatest television mysteries and, following an Internet leak of details on season three's twist-tastic finale, has promised to keep a low profile with the media until the show's fourth season begins next year.

However, the two did answer a few questions regarding the recent casting rumors and news--Jeremy Davies (Rescue Dawn, Solaris) and Jeff Fahey (Lawnmower Man, Grindhouse)--and talked ever so slightly about the new characters of season four.

Unlike other shows that trumpet their new cast members and characters, the crew behind Lost prefers misleading the millions of fans of the show. Simple things, such as casting announcements, can go a long way in today's Internet news world, so even the actors don't know who the character they're auditioning for is.

"We actually [have] the actors read fake [scenes] and give them fake character names. Because those casting [pages] travel so widely, there's no way to maintain secrecy," Cuse told EW.com. "So we basically have to come up with fake but analogous scenes that will show us qualities of an actor but won't give away what the role is."

Lindelof and Cuse know what those roles are, and they knew that Davies and Fahey would be perfect for those characters.
Jeremy Davies already looking Lost-ish in Rescue Dawn.

"He's a real actor's actor--there's an intelligence you glean from this guy," said Lindelof of Davies, according to EW. "He's usually the smartest guy in the room in any part he plays. That transformative quality, plus the tremendous intelligence that seems to emanate from him, sort of seemed perfect for this particular character."

Lindelof also feels that Fahey fits the Lost mold well as an actor that is somewhat recognizable to casual television fans but holds on to some anonymity. "...[Fahey will] be able to land on our island without most people going, 'Oh, I know who that guy is.' And especially for the part we cast him for, he has exactly the right sensibilities."

Another newcomer to the show, Ken Leung, caught the eyes of the pair after seeing him once on The Sopranos. That one episode was enough to not only have them pursue him for Lost, but also write a new character specifically for Leung.

"[Leung's character] is so specifically geared to what we thought he could do as an actor [that] if he had said no, we would have had to scrap the character and rewrite him and come up with a different one," said Cuse.

British actress Rebecca Mader joins the drama after several stints on television, the most high profile of which was a starring role on Fox's 2006 law drama Justice. She read for her part with an American accent, but the producers eventually had her read in her native tongue, and it stuck--the character is now British.

Finally, The Wire's Lance Reddick was always a target of Lindelof and Cuse (he was originally considered for the part of Mr. Eko), but scheduling conflicts held him up until now. When news of Reddick joining the cast broke, his character was described as a "corporate recruiter," but don't expect any normal human resources worker doing some simple company headhunting.

"Around here at the Lost offices, 'corporate recruiter' means something entirely different than corporate recruiter," said Lindelof.

Isn't that always the case with Lost?

Minor Snippets, Jorge Garcia, Matthew Fox and Rob McElhenney

Thanks to everyone who sent me the following 2 snippets concerning filming and some cast info.

The first is regarding Jorge mentioning, in a post over at the Fuselage, that he is looking forward to some upcoming scenes with Matthew Fox that they are preparing to film. No more details that that I'm afraid.

The second is shown below for a recent Ask Ausiello chat.

..................................

Question: Gasp! I love you, Michael, but I'm extremely worried about you. You wasted your energy answering two questions about One Tree Hill in last week's column, and you didn't even mention Lost once! I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.— Nora
Ausiello: Imagine how I felt. I haven't had a decent night's sleep since that column ran last Wednesday. The good news? Order has been restored to the universe and, to prove it, here's a little Lost prattle: As you know, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Rob McElhenney did a small role last season as an Other. Well, here's what you don't know: The scene where Julie rifle-butted him in the head was not the last we were supposed to see of him. He was slated to appear in the May finale in some kind of big Others scene, but he was unavailable due to his Philadelphia sked. If I had a gambling problem, I'd bet my firstborn that we'll see him again.

Which of the new cast are you most excited about? lost


















Jeff Fahey (Silverado, Planet Terror)
Lance Reddick (Oz, The Wire)
Ken Leung (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Sopranos)
Rebecca Mader (Justice, The Devil Wears Prada)
Jeremy Davies (Rescue Me, Solaris, Dogville)

'Lost': Five Fresh Faces

Earlier this week, we brought you the news that Grindhouse actor Jeff Fahey was one of five new actors joining the cast of Lost next season. (Estimated premiere date: February 2008.) The others: Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan), Lance Reddick (The Wire), Ken Leung (The Sopranos), and British actress Rebecca Mader (The Devil Wears Prada, Love Monkey). Exec producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were gracious enough to take time from writing the new season to speak with us about their new hires.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Before we go any further, let's clarify some things here. Are these new cast members series regulars or recurring players?
DAMON LINDELOF: None of these guys are doing just one episode. Some of the arcs are staggered over the course of the season, some are intensive at the start of the season and may or may not continue, some of them have potential regular status in future seasons — we don't want to divulge which is which, because frankly, the actors themselves don't know.

Gotcha. Now, another thing: Over the past couple weeks, we've seen casting call descriptions of some of the characters you're casting — there's ''Russell,'' a ''brilliant mathematician,'' and ''Charlotte,'' a ''successful academic,'' and ''Arthur Stevens,'' a ''ruthless corporate recruiter.'' Are these accurate names or summaries? Because I've been told that they are not to be taken at face value, and really only serve as rough ideas of what you want.
DL: Your assessment is more or less correct, though I'd rather not say how much more or how much less.
CARLTON CUSE: We actually [have] the actors read fake [scenes] and give them fake character names because those casting [pages] travel so widely, there's no way to maintain secrecy. So we basically have to come up with fake but analogous scenes that will show us qualities of an actor but won't give away what the role is. So yes, the stuff out there is not totally accurate.
DL: In fact, only one of the character names that has gotten out there is literally accurate.

Gotcha. Moving on. Why did you cast Ken Leung?
DL: Literally, the morning after his episode of The Sopranos aired, I said to Carlton, ''Have you seen that episode? There's an actor on this show — I'm not going to tell you who he is — and I wonder if he has the same impression on you that he had on me.'' The next morning, Carlton came in and he had seen the episode and said, ''Ken Leung?'' And I said, ''Bingo.'' We were still [in post-production] on the finale when that aired, in mid-May, so we immediately did an outreach to his people, and we found out he was a New York actor, and that he was getting a lot of interest. So when we came back from our hiatus, we called and luckily he was available and interested. The part he's playing — it's a character we wrote very specifically for Ken. Nobody else read for it. It had to be him.
CC: In fact, given the construct of the character, it wouldn't have been the same if we didn't have him in the show. It is so specifically geared to what we thought he could do as an actor [that] if he had said no, we would have had to scrap the character and rewrite him and come up with a different one.

As I'm a fan of The Wire, I dig Lance Reddick. Why did you want him?
CC: We had been interested in Lance back when we were casting the Mr. Eko part, but he was unavailable due to The Wire. That's how we started circling around Adewale [Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who ultimately took the role]. When a window of opportunity arose after the recent season of The Wire, we jumped on it, with a part that seemed right for his complete focus and intensity.

I have no corroboration for this, because I'm a crappy-ass reporter. However, according to what I've read on the Web, the casting-call description for the character that you've allegedly cast Lance for — this ''ruthless corporate recruiter'' — is pretty similar to the one you reportedly used to cast Richard Alpert, the character played last season by Nestor Carbonell, who is now a series regular on the new CBS drama Cane. This had led many to wonder if Lance is essentially filling the void left by Nestor. True?
DL: Around here at the Lost offices, ''corporate recruiter'' means something entirely different than corporate recruiter. Let's just say that part of the character's skill set is coercion. If people are reading into that that he is an Other, or has the same job as Alpert, we would encourage that speculation, but we wouldn't confirm or deny it.

Okay. How about Rebecca Mader? I have to admit, my pop culture ignorance is such that I have no idea who this person is. Who is she, and why did you like her?
CC: She is a beautiful young British actress. We auditioned actors for this part, but she won us over with her charm and presence and charisma. People compare her to a young Nicole Kidman — she has that strength, beauty, effervescence, and accessibility.
DL: What was really cool about Rebecca's [audition] read was, she did it on tape, but the producer who was with her asked her, ''All these things on your résumé are from the BBC — are you British?'' She said yes, and we asked her to read it again, this time as a Brit, and it opened up another dimension we hadn't foreseen. Now she's English.

So her Lost character is English?
DL: Now she is.

Jeremy Davies. Why?
CC: He's one of those incredible opportunities. He's a guy who only does movies, and for him to do a part in our series, it was exciting. He's one of our favorite character actors — a complete chameleon. We both really responded to what he did in Solaris; the way he spun that character was engaging.
DL: He's a real actor's actor — there's an intelligence you glean from this guy. He's usually the smartest guy in the room in any part he plays — that transformative quality, plus the tremendous intelligence that seems to emanate from him, sort of seemed perfect for this particular character.

Finally, Jeff Fahey. Why him?
CC: The Lawnmower Man and The Marshall [a 1995 TV series starring Fahey] are personal faves. And he has the most intense eyes of any guy out there, and I say that as a non-gay man.
DL: Fahey is one of those actors who feels like he fits into the Lost model: He's enormously talented and will be vaguely recognizable to some people, but he'll be able to land on our island without most people going, 'Oh, I know who that guy is.' And especially for the part we cast him for, he has exactly the right sensibilities. He's got a very interesting personal life. He's not a professional actor, per se. He acts, but he has a whole other ballgame going on.

What kind of other thing?
CC: He's been running an orphanage in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Are you kidding?
CC and DL: No.
DL: When Carlton called him to offer him the part—
CC: —he was in Caracas, Venezuela, using the same model to set up an orphanage there.

Amazing. Something to follow up on. On a slightly more superficial front, the most recent pics of Fahey have him sporting a very bushy beard. Are you going to have him shave?

Jeremy Davies will be a frieghter character

I've just been informed by one of my reliable sources at ABC that Jeremy Davies, as suspected, will be playing one of the characters that is on Naomi's Freighter.

Was Locke the intended body in the Coffin?

My good friend The ODI was at the E!Online Tater Top Awards (E!Online's own TV Awards Ceremony) and he was chatting with Kristin, the one we love/hate ;) Below is the portion from his Blog write up regarding who was originally intended to be in the coffin.
She did drop a interesting tidbit about who was "supposedly" or planned to be in the coffin and that the producers initially planned to show the person but changed their minds because they felt it added to the mystery of the finale....the info was from her sources on the show...but who really knows if that was the writers intent.....???

Sorry guys I didn't get any pictures taken and do not know when they will air, but as soon as I know I will let you know.....All in all I had a great time and I have a completely whole new different view of Kristin...

For those of you that said Ben....nope sorry you were wrong....for those of you that felt it was Michael....nope wrong again.....those who said it is somebody we have not seen before nope wrong once again....BUT for alllll of you that said everyone's favorite hunter Locke....you are right...!!

Like I said this is from Kristin who is known to be a VERY reliable source on LOST but she also did say the writers changed their mind about showing Locke....soooo at this point who knows......maybe they will change their minds again....!!??

LOST Season 4 Teaser found at ABC Commisary in Orlando, FL

Thanks to Memento for the following.

Hello everyone, You do not know me since I mostly just watch the boards and don't post much but I am a lost fan since the beginning. Last week my family and I vacationed in Disneyworld and on wednesday we traveled to Disney's MGM Studios and ate lunch at what is known as the ABC Commisary. It is a counter service restaraunt and around the building are TVs that show clips and previews of new and returning shows coming to ABC soon. I was eating lunch and the LOST preview caught me off guard. It has no new footage of course and it went like this.

" They thought they met the evil" (flashed to the others),
"They thought they had found the secret"(flashes to the Dharma stations), "They thought they won", (Flashes to beach scene in season 3 finale),
"They thought wrong!"(Shows all the guns being loaded)
"Defend the island, it's not over." Spring 2008.

Not that great but it just keeps on adding to the fact that we know that everyone teams up to now defend the island. I wish I had caught a video of it but the loop was 40 minutes and I would have to sit through the loop again and see the stupid preview of that Caveman show.

Season 4 Premiere - Saywer Centric?

It's looking like the Sawyer Centric spoilers that we broke recently are starting to be confirmed by other sources. Thanks to Lyly who spotted that Izzy from Spoilerfix in her weekly spoilerchat says that "multiple sources" confirm that the first episode will be Sawyer-centric.

Latest from Kristin

Thanks to everyone who sent me the following snippets from Kristin.
Thomas in Dallas: Any word on Lost? I can’t wait to see new episodes!
We still don’t get new eps until February (a little fact that makes me sob uncontrollably every time I hear it). However! The coolest cast around just went back to work last week in Oahu, and I’m hearing very good things about the new season! Michael is back, the Losties we love are front and center and the storylines are tighter than, well, I’d say Josh Holloway’s backside but, sheesh, I’m a married woman.

Ginny in Ipswich, Massachusetts: Will there be any cast changes this season on Lost?
Aside from the newbies we announced last week (much thanks to Korbi for that scoop!), Entertainment Weekly is now reporting that Grindhouse’s Jeff Fahey will join the island crew this year. I can also tell you that, although I had heard a while back that we’d be seeing a little less of Matthew Fox this season, so far there are no signs of any “Jack-off” days on the production schedule (sorry, I couldn’t resist, I’m 12). So, we’ll see.

Jeff Fahey Joins Cast


Thanks to Rory for the heads up. Could he be lined up to play Jacob? What do you think about Fahey joining Lost?

The new season of Lost is still over five months away (arrrrggggh!!!), but shooting on the first episode is underway, and the show's five new cast members are officially in place. Yes, we said five: Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse tell EW.com that Jeff Fahey — a cult-pop fave most famous for The Lawnmower Man and most recently seen in Grindhouse — has been added to the show, joining previously announced newcomers Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan), Lance Reddick (The Wire), Ken Leung (The Sopranos), and British actress Rebecca Mader (The Devil Wears Prada, Love Monkey).

The producers wouldn't comment on the character that Fahey will be playing, but said he was the first and only choice for the role. ''The Lawnmower Man and [the 1995 TV series] The Marshall are personal faves,'' says Cuse. ''And he has the most intense eyes of any guy out there, and I say that as a non-gay man.'' Adds Lindelof: ''Fahey is one of those actors who feels like he fits into the Lost model: He's enormously talented and will be vaguely recognizable to some people, but he'll be able to land on our island without most people going, 'Oh, I know who that guy is.' And especially for the part we cast him for, he has exactly the right sensibilities.'

Lost Filming - Our First Sightings

Thanks to Jacobe for the following. If it is indeed a Sawyer Centric episode this will make 22 people out of the 1000 we have in our prediction league happy :)
I live in Kalihi, Hawaii. Yesterday, LOST was filming on N King Street by the Discount Store and Tamashiro Market, for those that live in Hawaii.

I was able to spot Josh Halloway (Sawyer). So I'm assuming a Sawyer flashback. OR maybe a flash-forward??

The scene involved a car being chased by two police cars, leading to the first car to jump a ramp and crash.

That's all I was able to see.

Sorry, I wasn't able to record or take pictures.

Meet Your New Lost Castmembers!



E!Online are reporting that Jeremy Davies and Rebecca Mader will be joining the Lost cast this season.Rebecca Mader

Oh, new Lost news makes me so ridonkulously happy. We're hearing that creepmaster Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan) is doing eight eps of Lost this season, and one Rebecca Mader will have a major recurring role as well...perhaps as the much discussed Charlotte? More as we hear it.

End Date? 2010

It's been reported that "Lost" will end in 2010.

Here's the breakdown of the structure for the following years:

  1. Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
  2. Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
  3. Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
Lindelof and Cuse seem pretty confident with this bold move. I especially like a few Lindelof quotes:

"...with the answer-filled season finale May 23, viewers 'will begin to get an idea of what that design will be, and it will not be at all what they expect.'"

"the last five minutes of (this month's) finale are going to seal our fate."

There are pros and cons, but overall this will end up being a good decision. If they revert to the 9:00 slot, "Lost" is set for the next three years.

Lost: The Answers

It's that time again. In anticipation of the Lost season finale, a special called Lost: The Answers is scheduled to air twice this month.

The special will be similar to Lost: Survivor Guide, a clip show that aired before the winter premiere. Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse will co-host the show, which will "recap the secrets that have been revealed, as well as those that remain unanswered."

The special will air on May 17th at 10PM ET and May 23 at 8PM ET on ABC

DVRs help out "Lost" and others

Some of TV's biggest shows ("House," "Lost") and some of its smallest ("The Office," "Friday Night Lights") are benefiting significantly from the impact of digital video recorders, according to data released Wednesday by Nielsen Media Research.


"Lost" adds 2.5 million DVR users to its 10.8 million viewers who watch it at the normal time.

EW Article

More news...

Here's an article I found about the recent decline in viewership: Click here

Should "Lost" fans be worried? No. Personally, I don't think "Lost" ever lost its quality...(Ofcourse I'd say that, I own a "Lost" blog) The change to the 10:00 timeslot may have been a bad decision, but in the this day and age, viewers have no problem adapting to it with DVRS and iTunes downloads. In reality, it all evens out, and everyone's watching "Lost" one way or another.

Catch-22 Rerun

"Catch-22" will air again on Wednesday at 9/8c before this week's new episode of "Lost".


Charlie questions whether Desmond has had another "flash" foreshadowing his death when coaxed into joining a trek across the jungle, and jealousy motivates Kate to turn to an unsuspecting Sawyer.

New Google Group and Template

Please join the new Google Group, ABC's "Lost" Talk, which I created to coincide with The Lost Fan Blog.

Check out the new template on the homepage. It's still a work in progress, but I'm surprised at how easy it was to do so far. I have just upgraded my blog so it can use the new "page elements" Blogger feature. It makes it easier for me to make quick changes to parts of the site.

Also, I plan to be more active in adding posts and updates to make the blog better.

OST Backstories

Ever wanted to see flashbacks in chronological order? ABC has put characters' backstories in order and made them available online. Also, check out the sneak peak of tonight's new episode (if you don't mind the possible spoilers of course).

Most Recorded Television Show

"Lost" currently leads the pack as most recorded television show:

More than 1.5 million people record the ABC series for later viewing on their TiVos or other digital recording devices each week, a practice known since the heyday of the VCR as time-shifting.



Fans choose to record "Lost" and watch it later to fit it into their schedule or rewatch it to refresh their memories and explore hidden clues in episodes, such as Walt's reverse speaking and a Dharma symbol on the shark that appears in "Adrift".

With DVRS and episodes available on iTunes or ABC's website, no episode will ever be missed.

Students win internships

Ten students from the University of Hawaii will have the opportunity to work on the set of "Lost".

The interns, selected from more than 40 applicants, will rotate working in the production office, art department, locations, wardrobe and the assistant director's department.



If the fans from my last post had stayed in school...

Dozens of Fans Invade Set

Dozens of women determined to get close to the drama's male stars, including MATTHEW FOX and DOMINIC MONAGHAN, have interrupted filming and caused delays which have cost producers over $500,000 ($900,000)..."Things were a lot easier filming the first series when the cast were still largely unknown. But now some of them have a very enthusiastic fan base who will stop at nothing to get close to their idols.



There have been multiple invasions of the set thus far.

Rob McElhenney gets "Lost

Rob McElhenney, St. Joseph's Prep grad (Go Prep!) and star/creator of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is about to get "Lost". McElhenney met two "Lost" writers at a dinner party. They happen to be fans of his FX series, and he himself is a "Lost fan. The writers allowed him to tour their offices and play an Other in the first episode back from hiatus on February 7th.

End Date?

The producers of "Lost" are limiting the number of seasons for the series and choosing a fixed endpoint. (Nothing official, at this point) Also, the next season may run all the way through without a break or repeats.

The Lost Fan Blog in Time Magazine

The Lost Fan Blog has been mentioned in Time Magazine in an article entitled "Why the Future of Television is Lost". You can read it online here. The story will be in the October 2 edition of Time.

Million Hit Lowdown

Forget what happened in last season's finale? Don't worry. ABC is giving away 1 million copies of Live Together, Die Alone on iTunes, as well as last season's Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy finales. The Lost Survival Guide is also free for an unlimited amount of downloads. To get the episode, just go into iTunes, then iTunes Store, and click on Million Hit Lowdown.

Apollo Bars on eBay

Yes, that's right. Someone is selling three unopened Apollo Candy Bars on eBay at a current price of $51.00. So far, there have been 9 bids. See for yourself.

While you're at it, pick up Josh Holloway's shirt. The money from the auction goes towards relief efforts in Darfur, Children's Defense Fund, and Cure Autism Now.

Through the Looking Glass

Season Finale at 9/8c on ABC

Jack and his fellow castaways begin their efforts to make contact with Naomi's rescue ship.

Stuff:
1. Both this season's premiere, "A Tale of Two Cities", and the finale, "Through the Looking Glass" are book titles.


I'm not going to make any predictions or share any rumors. There'll be plenty to talk about afterwards. Enjoy the two hour finale!

Greatest Hits

Tomorrow, Wednesday May 15th at 10/9c on ABC:
Jack devises a plan to do away with "The Others" once and for all, Sayid uncovers a flaw in "The Others'" system that could lead to everyone's rescue, and Charlie's dangerous task may make Desmond's premonition come true.

This episode is Charlie-centric, but sadly this may be the last of such episodes... In other words, (although I question whether the writers would make this so obvious), everything leads to the fact that Charlie will die:

1) The episode title, "Greatest Hits" refers to an album containing a band/artist's top songs, usually after a member(s) of the band or that artist dies. With Charlie being a member of the band Driveshaft, you can see the connection.
2) We already had an episode that teased us from the opening scene that Charlie would die, but he survived in the end. If he doesn't die in this episode, it will be as if we've seen it all before.
3) The "epitaph" in the episode description..."Charlie's dangerous task may make Desmond's premonition come true."

Honestly, Charlie's cool, but he might have lost our interest in his character. There's a good chance he's not coming back next season. To dodge having to give a definitive stance on this issue, I'll just say that we'll just have to wait and see...

The Man Behind the Curtain

Wednesday, May 9 at 10/9c
Ben begrudgingly begins to introduce Locke to the secrets of the island, beginning with the mysterious Jacob.
TV-14

Tv.com has a more satisfying description:

Ben unwillingly divulges information to Locke about the island, taking him on a journey to various locations including strange monuments and the mysterious Jacob. Back at the beach, Juliet's secret is revealed. Flashbacks will show us the origins of DHARMA and the history of the island, including 'the purge'.
I love the allusion in the title of this episode, likely referring plot-wise to Jacob. This isn't the first time "Lost" has given a nod to "The Wizard of Oz". If you recall, Ben called himself Henry Gale, a name he stole from a dead parachutist in the show, and a name the writers borrowed from the movie.

Also, the episode will be Ben-centric and Mikhail is supposed to have an appearance.

The Brig


Locke tries to persuade Sawyer to help rid them of a great nemesis, and the survivors learn some shocking information about Oceanic Flight 815.


I wonder what exactly was meant by Naomi's testament: ''Flight 815? The one from Sydney? That's not possible....They found the plane. There were no survivors. They were all dead.''

Could the Others have created some sort of decoy crash? This seems far-fetched, but with money and connections, they could have faked it or had a false news story leaked. It wouldn't be as hard to stage if "all the bodies and most of the plane were destroyed by fire."

Of course, the thrilling far-out sci-fi twist would be to have the outside world exist in a different future, one where the people on Flight 815 didn't survive...This becomes very confusing when you consider it.

D.O.C.

Looks like this is going to be a great episode. I'm interested to see how the "new person" affects the survivors and what she knows in regard to Penelope. Any thoughts?

If you can't wait for the upcoming episodes, you may want to pause this video clip in certain spots to get a taste for what's to come. Here are some important things I noticed in this clip:

1) A...dare I say it...long silver aircraft plummeting to the ground
2) Desmond aiming a bow and arrow
3) S.O.S.
4) Catch-22 in a foreign language
5) Juliet in a hatch
6) Someone's hand grabbing Sun's face
7) The feet of someone being hanged...possibly Charlie
8) Locke getting attacked by Sawyer

More things...but you can see for yourself.


Notes:

The title "Catch-22" is a reference to the satirical historical novel Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. The story takes place during World War II and the main character is Yossarian, a soldier. From this story, the term "Catch-22" is derived:

Catch-22 n.1.
a. A situation in which a desired outcome or solution is impossible to attain because of a set of inherently illogical rules or conditions
b. The rules or conditions that create such a situation. —From TheFreeDictionary.com

One of Us

Episode 3:16 "One of Us" airs at 10/9c on ABC.

Jack's joyous reunion with his fellow survivors is cut short when they realize that accompanying him is one of "The Others."

This episode will be Juliet-centric with island flashbacks, and its title, "One of Us", references the season two episode called "One of Them".

Sayid: "I want to know everything."
Juliet: "If I told you everything I know, you'd kill me."
Sayid: "What you think I'll do if you don't?"

I hope Sayid can get some answers out of her. With a Juliet island flashback, this episode has the potential to answer questions. And hopefully Juliet's true motives will be revealed. Was she left behind as a mole in the Losties' camp? With Ethan dead, and Ben no longer there, maybe the Others need a new spy at the beach for some unknown purpose. And where did the Others go? Why did they just pick up their bags and gas masks and head on out? I hope the survivors decide to take over Othersville.

What was the purpose of Hurley's movement to coax Sawyer to become the "leader" if it seems that Jack will retake that position?

Left Behind

Wednesday, April 4 at 10/9c

Kate is left to fend for herself in the jungle with Juliet. Meanwhile, Hurley warns Sawyer that he faces banishment if he doesn't change his selfish ways.

Exposé


Hurley is suspicious of Sawyer's involvement in an island mystery. Meanwhile, Sun learns the truth about her past kidnapping attempt by "The Others."

The Man from Tallahassee

"The Man from Tallahassee" will air on Wednesday, March 21 at 10/9c,

Ben tries to persuade a determined Locke to call off his destructive plan by offering him some of the secrets of the island, and Kate's reunion with Jack does not go off as planned when she discovers that he has made a deal with "The Others."

I think there's a few key phrases in this description:

secrets of the island - "Lost" is not very good at answering questions...but we shall see.

a deal with "The Others." - Hmmmm...this sounds interesting. I think the question on everyone's mind last week when they saw Jack playing football with Tom was "Whaaaaaaaaat?".

Hopefully, we'll see a better Locke, who was starting to lose his status as one of my favorite characters. Also, the previews at the end of last week's episode hinted that we would learn why Locke was in a wheelchair. But, you should never trust the previews to be right.

But if you'd like to see them anyway, here you go:

1. Preview #1

2. Preview #2 Looks like Jack will be playing piano again, very cool.

Par Avion

Here's your guide to Par Avion, which will air on Wednesday, March 14 at 10/9c.

Notes:

  • "Par Avion" is French for "by plane".

  • Claire-centric

Enter 77


Tonight's episode (which airs at 10/9c on ABC) is titled "Enter 77". The official ABC summary is as follows:
Locke, Sayid and Kate investigate a strange structure and its mysterious inhabitant.

I prefer TV.com's a tad more however:
On their mission to rescue Jack, Kate, Sayid, and Locke stumble upon a mysterious structure surrounded by farm animals and meet its strange inhabitant. Back at the camp, in order to reclaim his belongings, Sawyer plays in a a ping-pong competition.

Look out for the French Lady again as well as that guy with the eyepatch.

It's Sayid-centric.

Tricia Tanaka Is Dead

Tonight at 10/9 c on ABC:

Hurley discovers a wrecked car on the island and uses it on a mission of hope.

Time: 9:00/8:00c
Writer: Steve Maeda, Leonard Dick
Director: Roxann Dawson

Photo Gallery: AOL Lost-Media
Video Clips: AOL
Spoilers:

1) This Sawyer-centric episode will feature a significant plot twist between Kate and Sawyer.
2) Sawyer is an amused but highly interested bystander when tension escalates between Jack, Locke, Kate and Ana Lucia.
3) New characters are Gordy, Diane, Cassidy, Arthur and Peter. Roles are played by Kevin Dunn, Beth Broderick, Kim Dickens, Finn Armstrong and Richard Cavanna.
4) Look for Deadwood's Kim Dickens to play another woman from the con man's past.
5) Jolene Blalock of Enterprise will end up doing that episode of Lost she was supposed to. She was supposed to guest star in the second episode of the season, titled "Adrift," the raftee episode that was supposed to be Sawyer's backstory. But as you may remember, the episode was swapped for a Michael flashback. Jolene will appear as a woman from Sawyer's past.

Claire and Jack

With Juliet hanging out with the plane crash survivors, there's the possibility for a number of mysteries to be revealed. However, one thing that I could see happening is her informing Jack and Claire that they are siblings. I hope the writers can tie that into the plot cleverly

How do the Others leave the island?

Let's look at the facts:

1. The Others have food and it must be replenished. In Ben's refrigerator, this food has the DHARMA label.
2. The Swan was associated with a food drop and at one point, the survivors found a food drop. There was also food in the hatch itself.
3. In "One of Us", Ben has Richard Alpert show Juliet's sister on a television screen in the Flame Hatch. Richard must have gone there very quickly and he is told to return as soon as possible. However, when Ben speaks to Alpert, his reply cannot be heard.
4. Juliet was drugged before being taken to the island. She wakes up in a submarine.
5. Juliet and Jack are told they can leave the island if they comply with the Others, and they will leave via the submarine.
6. Ben says that his people are free to leave the island but they always stay. The submarine gives them the choice. Ben says its destruction could cause problems for him.
7. Aircraft have crashed on the island (Oceanic Flight 815, which crashed thanks to Desmond, Beechcraft, Henry Gale's balloon).

These are just a few things that should be considered. Please tell me if something isn't accurate.

My theory:

The submarine is a decoy like the beards, the "station" that Sayid and co. found, etc. Ben uses it so the Others will believe that they can leave the island. Perhaps, it actually transports people to nearby island, where planes can come and go. By drugging Juliet, she misses this part of the trip and is led to believe that the submarine goes the entire length to and from the island. Also, the Others receive food via a DHARMA food drop of some sort. Alpert and Ethan would use the submarine to go to a nearby island to go on a plane. This is how they could transport supplies and bring people.

Alex?

Reportedly, the "Other" that Sawyer called Zeke asked someone named Alex to bring him Kate during the encounter between the "Others" and some of the castaways. Perhaps this person is actually the French lady, Danielle Rousseau's, son.

What happens next...

Below is the new video content revealed last night at the online broadcast on ABC.com. From what I understand, it is meant to be a continuation of the last video.

WARNING: This is the final revelation of The Lost Experience. There is a possibility of clues and spoilers. Therefore, watch with caution, but the video won't ruin the show for you.

The Lost Experience is over

The gripping online adventure that has captivated "Lost" fans where and when "Lost" couldn't, is ending its run tonight at 5:00 P.M. ET. At that time, DJ Dan will be hosting a international radio broadcast online at ABC. Supposedly, you can look out for a final video clip

Dude!

Since the start of The Lost Experience, fans have been searching everywhere for clues. Scanning websites, typing codes, and eating Apollo Candy bars. To those dedicated fans who have worked toward completing the following video and to YouTube, I thank you.

Finally, The Lost Experience has paid off. The video below may reveal clues and spoilers about "Lost", so I am warning you before you watch this. I have no doubt, however, that at least the important parts in the film will be revealed/shown on "Lost", probably early season three. Although slightly spoilerish, I don't believe this will ruin your viewing experience.

It's a little confusing, cryptic, surprising, weird, and it will leave you thinking. I think I'm gonna have to watch it again.

Fake Websites

Apollo Candy Bars

Yet another dimension is added to the television game that has extended to the internet, commercials, and your telephone. Apollocandy.com gives you information about the candy bar seen in the hatch, as I have mentioned before. There's more, however. You can actually obtain a free bar and eat it!

On certain dates, starting today, you can get a free candy bar in various cities throughout the U.S.A. and the U.K. Go to the site for more information.

I would assume the candy bar might hold some sort of clue. (So don't eat it right away, it could be part of the candy itself!)

If anyone has any pictures of the candy, please email me a link or post a link in the comments.

Clues/Mysteries


1. The giant candy bar that appears after clicking Apollo has text engraved in the chocolate. (wikipedia image of pieces put together)) This text is recognized to read whereisalvar.com. So far no one has been able to enter the site.

2. Expiration date: Oct 23, 06: 23 is one of the numbers.

3. Television broadcast ad

4. Clicking on "The Company" reveals some text and a balloon.

5. There is an inconsistancy where the bar is said to contain milk chocolate and, in another part of the site, dark chocolate.

The Lost Experience explains DHARMA

According to the happenings in The Lost Experience, the acronym for DHARMA is as follows:

Department of
Heuristics
And
Research on
Material
Applications

Did you watch the commercials in Wednesday's episode? If you did, you will have noticed a very peculiar one—a "Hanso" commerical was broadcast. Yes, semi-realistically with a phone number and all. And check out the website. Quite a bundle of easter eggs there that I will have to search for...

Seriously, this is wierdly cool.

Addendum

Sign up for the newsletter. Then type "hello". You'll know when.

Addendum 2

The 105-year-old orangutan is called "Joop", the experimental subject #626. 626 was the scientific number for the Disney character Stitch.

Addendum 3

Go back to the newsletter feature. Type your name. Enter. Type hello. Type yes. Type breakingstrain.

Keep searching. Apparently, it's all part of "The Lost Experience": an interactive way to delve into the secrets of "Lost" and use clues to solve parts of the show.

Gary Troup


Bad Twin, (shown left), is a tie-in book that will be released by ABC under the name of the fictional writer Gary Troup. The book will delve secretively into the mysteries of Lost and give readers of the book an edge in "solving" the plot. Clever commentors Tiffany and cstobinski have uncovered a clue regarding the book already. The author, Gary Troup, is an anagram for "Purgatory"!

More updates on this book will be made at the date of its release.

The Bad Twin

The Bad Twin...No it's not Ashley Olsen. It's a new "Lost" tie-in book. Sort of.


From Variety.com:
Can you have product-placement for a product that doesn't exist? ABC thinks so. In an eerie synergy, scribes for ABC's "Lost" will soon be writing a subplot about a character named Gary Troup who didn't survive the crash but left behind a manuscript he was working on....

From Chud.com:
Lost obviously has a large fanbase, filled with fairly loyal people. How do you sell things to these people? One way is to offer odd and unique tie in books – like a novel written by one of the passengers on Oceanic 815.

Except that the guy died. Sometime next year the unfinished manuscript by passenger Gary Troup (quick – to the name dictionary and the anagram decoder!) will figure into a plotline. Here in the real world the concept will be that Troup delivered this unfinished manuscript to Hyperion Publishing and a “well known mystery writer” was called in to finish it off (I imagine the as-yet unnamed writer is the person penning the whole thing).

What’s the name of the book? Hold on to your hats, Losties – it’s called The Bad Twin. It’s about a wealthy heir who hires a PI to find his nasty brother. Twins have been something Lost fans have been thinking a lot about lately, thanks to cryptic clues by the showrunners. Looks like this is yet another cryptic clue.

What people are thinking...

What's next, a Driveshaft album?

What I am thinking...

We'll have to wait and see if this rumor holds true. If anyone has any anagrams for Gary Troup, feel free to post them.

"I am not alone"

When Naomi (the parachutist) says "eu nao estou so", Mikhail tells the others that she has said "Thank you". The actual Portuguese translation is "I am not alone".

Any thoughts on this?

Biblical Names

The oft-mentioned Jacob isn't the only person on "Lost" with a name borrowed from the Old Testament. Here's a list of people I can think of that have a "Biblical" name:

1. Benjamin Linus - Benjamin is the youngest son of Jacob in the Bible
2. Aaron Littleton (Claire's baby) - Aaron is the brother of Moses
3. Jack/Christian Shepherd - Jacob is a shepherd in the bible, (among other prominent characters). Also, Christian could be a reference to Christianity.
4. Isaac of Uluru (healer from flashback in season 2)- Isaac is the son of Abraham and the father of Jacob.
5. Dave (Hurley's imaginary friend) - King David
6. "Adam and Eve" (skeletal remains found in season that are given this nickname) - Adam and Eve are the first man and woman created by God in the Bible.
7. Rachel Burke (Juliet's sister) - Rachel is Jacob's wife.
8. Rachel Blake (daughter of Alvar Hanso, protagonist of The Lost Experience) - idem.

With this in mind, maybe the true identity of Jacob can be revealed through a Biblical clue:

1) Jacob is Isaac of Uluru or his son.
2) Jacob is Rachel Burke's husband.
3) Jacob is Christian Shepherd.
4) Jacob is Ben's father.

Moreover...
1) In the Bible, Jacob's wife Rachel, died while giving birth to Benjamin. — Women who have become pregnant on the island have died.

Russian Translations

The translations are now available. Here's the Klugh-Mikhail conversation:


Klugh: Mikhail. Mikhail! You know what to do.
Mikhail: We still have another way [out].
Klugh: We cannot risk. You know the conditions.
Mikhail: There is another way.
Klugh: They captured us. We will not give (or let, or betray) [unintelligible].
Klugh: You know what to do. It is an order.
Mikhail: We still have another way!
Klugh (in English): Just do it, Mikhail.
Mikhail: Forgive me. (shoots) (source)

Perrineau's Lost Air Time

Harold Perrineau (Michael) wants air time on "Lost". It's currently uncertain as to how much he'll play a part in the future of the show and when he'll be back. He may be starring in CBS's new series "Demons", filmed in Hollywood, while also doing scenes for "Lost" in Hawaii. This leads us to question whether he will have a big part on the show in future. But, with "Lost", nothing is certain.

Rob McElhenney gets Lost

Rob McElhenney, St. Joseph's Prep grad (Go Prep!) and star/creator of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is about to get "Lost". McElhenney met two "Lost" writers at a dinner party. They happen to be fans of his FX series, and he himself is a "Lost fan. The writers allowed him to tour their offices and play an Other in the first episode back from hiatus on February 7th.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

A new cast member will be joining what remains of the initial "Lost" crew. His name: Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.
Born and raised in London, England, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje began his career as a model in Milan before moving to Los Angeles to make the transition to acting. Fluent in several languages, including English, Italian, Yoruba and Swahili, he is best known for his roles in the movies Congo (1995)... Read more

Adewale's character name is uncertain at this time.

Shannon as an X-man?

Apparently, Maggie Grace (Shannon, "Lost") is in negotiations about the role of Kitty Pryde, the walking through walls mutant, in X-men 3. Fortunately for Shannon fans, I have heard that this will not affect her role on "Lost."

"It's about to go," Avi says about the film. We asked whether it would build on the first two films. "In my opinion, X3, from a story and script perspective, it's bigger than one and two. It's the concept behind the movie that's bigger than one and two. It's building on our world, building on the world of mutants. In movie one you got to know what a mutant is and had to deal with it visavis humanity and the brotherhood. The second one was actually sort of a continuation but we were able to have more fun with it."

Which brings us to the big news. "And movie three features Angel, Beast, Kitty Pryde and Juggernaut. Right there you have worth the price of admission. And there are more, those are just the ones we can talk about. Juggernaut you had it already on your site, that is [Vinnie] Jones. That was accurate. Angel is not done yet, we're looking at a few guys, but it's a big role, so... we are very close, a few more days. Angel is a great emotional story. It's a very big role in this movie and so is Kitty Pryde, where we have some high choices that are great but it's just not locked up yet." Lost star Maggie Grace is in talks for the role

Holloway will return

It has been confirmed that John Holloway (Sawyer) will be back for season 2.

And he told us something most lost fans didn't notice. There were twins on the boat of Others.

Lost: The RPG

According to an inside source at ABC (US), producers of the hit ABC (and Channel 7) television show "Lost" have been in talks with several publishers about publishing a game based on the series. Our informer tells us several of the main characters have already agreed to be add their voices and likeness to the game.

The game will take place over a period of virtual weeks and will combine action/adventure and RPG elements. The storyline will be set on the same island as the TV show but will have a few surprises which may answer some of the questions from the first season.

"Lost" Games II: Lostopoly

I've seen a lot of fan-made stuff for "Lost" in my days, but Lostopoly really grabbed my attention. After discovering this at Lost Lovers Board I wanted to make sure people found out about it. Anyway, I just think it would be really cool to play a "Lost" version of Monopoly and something should be done to further this cause.

The design is awesome and very smooth. (minus copyright infringement on the logo and a spelling mistake: beachcraft->beechcraft, If the creator reads this, take this as my short criticism.)

There is word that a flash version may be developed or that it may even be sold to the public. Check it out here.

"Lost: The Board Game"

Remember LOSToply?
Although work on that project seems to have ended a while ago, "Lost" will still be available in board game form.

Lost: The Board Game is appearing in stores like Walmart and Target, as well as their online counterparts.

Here are some links you can check out for more info on this game:


I haven't had a chance to try out this game yet, but I think I'd have to wait for the Deluxe Edition:

The deluxe edition comes in a replica silver Zero Halliburton briefcase (similar to the one that Kate and Sawyer found while swimming near the waterfall) emblazoned with the Lost logo. It's not yet clear where the deluxe edition will be sold.source


Ofcourse there's also a regular version that comes inside a tin case.

"Lost", the Video Game

Only a few months ago, Ubisoft signed the license to create games based off the popular Lost television series.

For months, hardly any new info on this upcoming franchise was available till now. LOST producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse confirmed that Ubisoft Montreal is indeed working on X360, PS3 and PC versions of the game.
The title hasn't been announced yet and it's due out in 2008. I hope they can pull off something cool, instead of adhering to the usually mediocre quality of movie/tv show-based video games

Newcomers

Emeka: Played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Was reported as "suddenly showing up on the island" which could mean three things
1) Deja vu on the Ethan thing.
2) He's a tail-section guy.
3) He's a rest-of-the-plane nobody.
Also, Emeka is a nickname of the Ibo name Chukwuemeka which means "God has done great"
Ana Lucia: Played by Michelle Rodriguez. She looks familiar, I know. She's the girl from a bar in Jack's flashback. She wound up the tail section of the plane, (which was hypothesized by me), is somewhere else on the island.
Libby: Played by Cynthia Watros. Her character was a therapist—that is—before she was "Lost". Jennifer Jason Leigh just missed the job, before it was snagged by Watros.

Mr. Eko

Mr. Eko, one of the surviving members of the tail section.

During episode "Abandoned", Ana told Mr. Eko something along the lines of "I liked it better when you didn't speak". Is it possible that Mr. Eko was at one time mute? Or is Ana just pulling a smart one like she always does because Eko had been quiet lately?

Perhaps Mr. Eko had gone through a similar phase to that of John Locke. Locke regained the ability to walk, Eko regained the ability to speak.

Mr. Eko's name had gone through changes during the time before he aired on the show. First, he was rumored to be Emeka, then it was said that they would never reveal the name, and finally it was known that he was Mr. Eko.
