Brandon in Omaha: I cannot wait for the Lost finale!

I cannot wait to show you the Lost finale exclusive we scored! As I’ve been mentioning for a while now, the finale is nuts—there is at least one death and also that big “game changer”—and... big news! On Wednesday night, after the finale airs on the West Coast, right in this very spot, I will have an exclusive, sit-down, on-camera interview with the deceased Lostie (get ready to weep), plus, a Q&A with show runner Damon Lindelof to try and get to the bottom of what it all means. Make sure you check back Wednesday night or first thing Thursday morning.

Allison in Tallahassee: How many boxes of Depends will we need when watching the finale of Lost?!

If you haven’t been reading spoilers (and for your sakes, I really hope you all haven’t!), I’d hit up Costco and bring a truckload of 'em. The format of the show is a-changin'…Yeee! I'm also hearing that one of the three main actors might not be in every episode next season. I'll let you know more as I hear it.

Mary Elizabeth Jones: Is it all over for Skate? Not just this season, but for good? Thanks for your wonderful and in-depth coverage of Lost. I never miss your Vine show!

Sawyer and Kate? Oh yeah, that's over...I'm told they spend season four in separate tents playing solitaire and whittling woodland animals out of peach pits. Kidding! There's a great deal left to be told about the relationship between Sawyer and Kate. Although I do also hear that Jack does most def profess his love to someone who is of the brunette beauty variety.

Rehashing Greatest Hits:

-The Looking Glass Hatch is called it because it is an Alice In Wonderland allusion.
-TLG is the underwater station referred to on Kelvin's map. They have been alluding to it ever since Sayid first found the wire on the beach.
-The cable could be a communication cable, not the power cable, or not the only power source for TLG.
-Damon points out that Jack's plans don't always work out. If Jack's plan were to work, it will probably have terrible repercussions on him personally.
-Cuse says they will answer definitively whether Charlie lives or dies before the season ends.

The Finale:

-They are still working on it and it isn't delivered until Tues Am for airing Wed.
-Don't want to say much about the Finale. Want us to arrive at our own conclusions. Things speak for themselves but then again they really don't.
-They hope Locke shows up in the Finale.

The Meeting



HOLLYWOOD — In last year's Lost season finale, Michael and Walt reunited, only to be sent sailing off the series. Tonight's two-hour finale (9 ET/PT, ABC) sees another emotional parent/child reunion.

This time, the characters are among the series' most mysterious.

Danielle Rousseau, or "the French lady" as she is known to many on the island, has popped up in the brush since Season 1. Her main objective: finding her daughter, Alex, who was kidnapped as an infant by the ominous Others.

Tonight, mother (played by Mira Furlan) and daughter (Tania Raymonde) finally come together in what producers promise will be an evening of conflict — and bloodshed — between the crash survivors and the Others.

Furlan, 51, and Raymonde, 19, have shared but one scene together, so during lunch at the French restaurant Café des Artistes, they eagerly swap stories about the show's super-secret closing scene and make plans to watch the finale together.


Their characters' on-screen reunion, shot weeks ago in Hawaii, occurred only minutes after the two met face to face for the first time.

"I think it worked out well that way," Raymonde says. "It was a huge moment for our characters and for me because I really wanted to meet this woman who was playing my mother. I was like, 'Mommmyyy!' "

"It's a basic human moment," Furlan says. "I'm glad I have such a beautiful partner."

With all the island mud scrubbed off their faces, it is easy to see why these actresses were cast as relatives.

"We have something in common, definitely," says Furlan, mother to son Marko, 8. "What do you think?" she asks Raymonde.

"I've talked to people who say, 'You look exactly like her,' " Raymonde says.

Both women, says Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams, "have given these characters such heart and soul. The challenge in a show like Lost with so many different people is characters getting lost, but they have made Danielle and Alex so identifiable and complex. I certainly think people are looking forward to seeing this reunion. It's something we've been playing to all year."

There was a moment several weeks ago when Danielle came close to reuniting with Alex, but chose to walk away. Furlan says she understands her character's ambivalence. "How can you ever be prepared for that moment?" she asks.

Adds Raymonde: "And how does Danielle expect her daughter to react? 'I've never met this woman before. I have no recollection.' "

"Maybe it has to come by chance, and not by choice," believes Furlan. "And that's kind of the way it might happen in the finale."

Furlan, whose character murdered her fellow scientific exploration crewmembers because they were "infected," is no stranger to treachery in her own life.

As an actress in her native Yugoslavia (now Croatia), Furlan fled the war-torn country in the early '90s. "Bloody, awful, hateful, horrible" are some of the words she uses to describe that turbulent time.

"My position as a very well-known actor (in film, TV and theater) put me in a very sensitive spot," recalls Furlan, who went on to play an alien on Babylon 5 (1994-9. "I was very outspoken about the war, and that brought me death threats."

With Danielle and Alex finally reuniting, the actresses now hope their characters will be given a chance to forge a relationship.

"It would be nice to have the characters develop," Furlan says. "But if it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm very Buddhist about this. Your life is a series of losses."

"They might have to eventually pick up where they left off," hints Raymonde. "But you never know. People disappear quite often on this show. We're just a part of this big machine."

All Abrams will say: "The ending is so mind-blowing, it's crazy."

darlton's interview

Zap2it.com has a largely ignored interview with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse on their website. It's mostly about the announcement of three more seasons of 16 episodes each, but there is some new information about the type of characters who die in the finale:

So you're not going to tell me who dies.

Cuse: Well, at least five people die.

Lindelof: But, you know, not like five major, major characters. But a couple of major characters.

Cuse: I think probably if you're a close viewer of the show you could name all five people.

(1) Next week's podcast will be the last of the season and will pre-hash the season finale. (No podcast following the finale).

(2) Future format of show explained - again.

(3) JACOB's appearance "purposely created a TIVO moment."
What you see is open to interpretation.
"It's premature to discuss JACOB in detail as it will spoil upcoming episodes.
Jacob is more of a question for Season 4 than he is for Season 3."
Rest of this season focuses on established characters instead.

(4) Flashback confirms Ben lied about his past, coming as a recruited member of DHARMA.
The Others purged DHARMA & incorporated some of its members into The Others.
Carlton paraphrasing Ben: "Me and a few others were smart enough to not get purged."

(5) Is Locke dead?
CUSE bets NO, LINDELOF bets YES.

(6) LINDELOF: "Why did Ben shoot Locke, Carlton?"

CUSE: "Ben took Locke out to see JACOB as sort of a litmus test. He wanted to find out if in fact John Locke really was special, and if John Locke really could see or hear JACOB, that would indicate that Locke really WAS special. So when Locke DID hear JACOB, that really got...that freaked Ben out. That was a threat to Ben and his primacy. So he led him over to the pit and he shot him, 'cause he doesn't want his leadership of the Others challenged by John Locke.

(7) Show Seasons are designed around major story concepts. Season 3 was all about the Others, etc.
CUSE: "When you watch the finale, you'll get a pretty good idea of what Season 4 is gonna be about."

( JACOB is NOT an alien, as parallels to Walt's comic book might suggest.

(9) We will see more of The Purge.
What we saw was "only a taste of things to come."
Marvin Candle and others will be revisited.

(10) The powdery substance surrounding JACOB's cabin, and seen in his chair, may be volcanic ash.
In combination with other substances, this powder is probably confining JACOB.

(11) Did Ben kill Annie in The Purge too?
Annie will be revisited in a future "chapter" of the show.

(12) We will see the DHARMA shark again. It has a name: "JIM" (or "EZRA JAMES SHARKINGTON" in jest).
Hydra Station was used to study marine creatures. The shark's markings will be explained.

LOST

"Lost'"s executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof swear many viewers' questions will be answered by the end of season three. For instance, we'll know more about get a little defensive when you ask when the Others' bug-eyed leader, Ben (Michael Emerson). And though "Lost" isn't known for its romance, there will be some :really significant developments that occur in the romantic quadrangle of Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Juliet in the finale – two that will be surprising for the audience," Cuse says.

Finally, the fight between the Losties and the Others finally comes to a head, and five people will die, although not all of them will be major cast members

One big mystery that has been resolved: the show will come to a conclusion in 2010, after airing in three shortened seasons of 16 episodes each. (9 p.m., ABC)

Tv guide magazine for season finale

 


Ausiello's spoilers
Question: Any further Lost scoopage is much appreciated!— CJ
Ausiello: My (slightly ironic) advice to you: Resist all spoilers concerning next week's game-changer. It'll ruin all the fun. Trust me.

Question: Please (oh, please!) tell me Locke isn't really dead. The "magical healing powers" of the island help him heal just in time. Right?— Rebecca
Ausiello: Sorry, but my lips are sealed re: Locke's fate. And not to compound your anxiety, but tonight's episode gives no resolution to the "Will Locke survive?" mystery.

Question: Can I just say that you have the sexiest eyebrows of any TV columnist ever? Anyway, Damon Lindelof has hinted that someone in the Lost love quadrangle makes a "declaration" during the finale. Can you please tell us which lucky couple is involved?— Candice
Ausiello: No, but I can tell you the person making the declaration is a man.

Question: Is the on-screen couple that hates each other Jack and Juliet from Lost?— Robert
Ausiello: Sounds like someone didn't read my blind item very carefully. I refer to the duo in question as "former costars." Last time I checked, Matthew Fox and Elizabeth Mitchell were both still on Lost. That's just plain sloppy.

Question: Well, either your earlier scoop about the season finale including a showdown between Jack and Locke was wrong, or Locke makes it out of the Pit of Despair alive. Are you at liberty to disclose which?— Kat French
Ausiello: My scoop was not wrong

Kristin's Spoilers
Kristin from Kristin's Office: What are the two things you can tell us about the Lost finale on May 23?
Excellent question, Kristin! Here they are:
1. The game-changer involves Jack and someone else.
2. A fan favorite will sacrifice himself for the good of the rest of the Losties.

Dana in Philadelphia: Please tell me that we get to see some Jack and Juliet nooky before the end of the season! P.S. If Juliet dies, I'm no longer watching the show. P.P.S. That was probably a lie.
HA! Right there with ya! I'm already giddy with anticipation for season-three DVDs of Lost, much less season four. Anyway, I don't know about no nooky, but I do believe Dr. Juliet Burke is sticking around for the foreseeable future. Yay!...Please don't throw garbage at me. I like her.

EW spoilers
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20036782_20037403_20038202,00.html

 The reality is, you do know everything there is to know about Jack as a character in terms of what's driving him. But you don't know everything that's happened to Jack. And there is one sort of significant event that we've been holding back that happened to Jack and we're going to show it in the season finale. And as all great flashbacks on the show are, they pertain directly to what's happening on the Island.

Okay. But will the flashback structure be part of the show going forward?
LINDELOF: Let's have that conversation after the finale.
Does the finale set up season four?
CUSE: Yes. The finale clearly sets up season four of the show, and hopefully in doing so, people will see there is still a lot of storytelling left in Lost and will feel really good about the 48 number.
LINDELOF: And it will make you realize that the house you are standing in actually has a lot more rooms than you thought when you came into it.

Ausiello's Spoilers
Question: Clones! You heard me, the survivors of the plane crash and some of the people on the island are clones. That's why Locke can walk because his DNA was that of a perfectly good Locke. That's why the Russian dude who was supposed to have died in that sonic-fence thing came back. That's why the women on the island can't have children because for some reason clones can't have babies! Tell me I'm wrong!— Linda
Ausiello: You're wrong! "Damon and I are willing to go out on a limb and ding that theory," Carlton Cuse says. "They are not clones."

Question: Do me a favor? Tell your friends over at Lost that if the show ends with us finding out that everyone is actually dead, I'm going to be pretty miffed. That, and I'll be throwing away my Lost mugs, T-shirts, fan-club kits and magazines. OK... maybe not the fan-club kits, but those shirts will be history.— Sandi
Ausiello: Hold onto your loot: They're not — I repeat, not — dead.

Question: Lost has been awesome of late. Am I correct in assuming that the "game-changing" episode is still to come?— Steve
Ausiello: News flash: The "game-changer" and the "Rattlesnake in the Mailbox" are one and the same. Mark your calendars accordingly.

The end of Lost


ABC GIVES VIEWERS 48 MORE ORIGINAL EPISODES OF THE HIT DRAMA "LOST,"
CULMINATING IN AN EXCITING SERIES CONCLUSION
Episodes Will Air Uninterrupted Over Three Seasons
Starting with the 2007-08 season, ABC will begin airing the 48 remaining original episodes of the hit drama "Lost," it was announced today by Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Entertainment. The episodes will air uninterrupted over three seasons (16 episodes each season), with the series concluding in 2009-10 with a highly anticipated and shocking finale.

"In considering the powerful storytelling of 'Lost,' we felt this was the only way to give it a proper creative conclusion," said McPherson. "I always said that we would allow the series to grow and give viewers the most compelling hour possible. And, due to the unique nature of the series, we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout, and to give the audience the payoff they deserve. "

"Additionally," said McPherson, "having Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse signed on to complete the journey of this show was critical to me and the network. Damon and Carlton have tremendous talent, and we're thrilled that they'll be with the show throughout its run."

"This is a bold and unprecedented move for ABC," said Lindelof and Cuse, executive producers. "The show would not be what it is without the vision and support we've received from Steve McPherson, Mark Pedowitz and everyone at ABC and ABC TV Studios. We always envisioned 'Lost' as a show with a beginning, middle and end. By officially announcing exactly when that ending will be, the audience will now have the security of knowing that the story will play out as we've intended."

"Lost" premiered September 22, 2004 and soon became the most talked-about new show of the season, with a never-before-seen storyline that spawned water-cooler talk and blogs galore. In its premiere season "Lost" was the No. 1 scripted series on Wednesday night with Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. On average "Lost" delivered the highest Adult 18-49 rating for any 8:00 p.m. drama on any network in seven years.

For the second season in a row, "Lost" stood as the No. 1 scripted TV program on Wednesday night during the season in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. It also ranked No.1 in its hour among Total Viewers and Adults 18-49 (tied w/Fox), regularly competing with Fox's "American Idol" results show during its first half-hour. Despite the "Idol" competition, "Lost" retained nearly all of its overall viewers from the same point the previous season, and actually grew 11% with Adults 18-49. The sophomore ABC drama was the No.1 scripted program on the evening among Adults 18-49 in all 22 of its original telecasts, and qualified as ABC's most-watched series in the time period in nine years.

"Lost" has ranked No. 1 in its time period with Adults 18-49 for the third season in a row, and is the No. 1 10:00 p.m. series on any network with Adults 18-49. It is the most recorded show on TV, gaining 18% more Total Viewers through "time-shifted" (TiVo/DVR) viewing. On average in its

10 o'clock time period, Nielsen reports 2.1 million additional viewers watch the show after its live broadcast. On top of Nielsen's reported numbers, millions more viewers watch "Lost" episodes through "place-shifted" viewing via streaming replays on ABC.com, iPod downloads and DVDs.

"Lost" has garnered numerous awards, including six Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Writers Guild of America Award, a Producers Guild Award, an NAACP Image Award, a Prism Award and two ALMA Awards, just to name a few.

About Lost
After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discovered that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, a strange French woman and another group of island residents known as "The Others." The survivors have also found signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th century sailing ship called The Black Rock, the remains of an ancient statue, as well as bunkers belonging to the Dharma Initiative -- a group of scientific researchers who inhabited the island in the recent past.

The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their 70-plus days on the island, danger and mystery loom behind every corner, and those they thought could be trusted may turn against them. Even heroes have secrets.

"Lost" stars Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Henry Ian Cusick as Desmond, Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet, Dominic Monaghan as Charlie and Terry O'Quinn as Locke.

"Lost" was created by Jeffrey Lieber and J.J. Abrams & Damon Lindelof. Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender, Jeff Pinkner and Carlton Cuse serve as executive producers. "Lost," which is filmed entirely on location in Hawaii, is from ABC Television Studio

Amanda: Regarding the Lost deaths...I know you can't reveal the victims, but should I buy Depends, or will a low-count box of tissues suffice? (I.e. How devastated and/or surprised will I be?)
Definitely splurge on the adult diapers. I'm wearing five right now just in anticipation of how totally and completely freaked out most of you fans will be. I know you've already heard that five die, but I can tell you it's not so much the number, but the who.

tv guide spoiler
In the two-hour season finale, Lost viewers will definitely get some answers, with the help of Jack's (Matthew Fox) flashback, a changed Locke and a long-awaited showdown that will determine a significant outcome for the future of the castaways.

Question: Am I wrong to suspect that Jack will be one of the five Lost deaths you have been speaking of?— Brandon
Ausiello: Yes, you would be wrong to suspect that. Jack is not dying. And remember, I said there will be at least five deaths this month — four after tonight.

Question: Did we see the "game-changing" moment on last week's Lost when Naomi revealed that the outside world had found Flight 815 and that there were no survivors?— Louis
Ausiello: Take it away, Damon Lindelof: "Nope. Not yet. Trust us.... YOU. WILL. KNOW."

podcast
- Locke will do anything if he is told he is special
- Richard may have been trying to subvert Ben when he gave Locke Sawyer's file, or he might really believe that Locke is special because he was instantly healed when he arrived on the island. They seem to be hinting that Locke's healing is very important to the Others and has caught the attention of many of them.
- They have been setting up the Cooper is the original Sawyer for a long time and were surprised that more people hadn't figured out this cross. they felt that this was the best time to reveal the cross as it will propel the story for the rest of the season
- The Man Behind the Curtain may be Ben (Carlton first said yes and then said maybe)
- The Man Behind the Curtain is a Wizard of Oz reference and is pointing to the question of who really is in charge of the Others.
- We will learn more about Jacob next week 

Questions:
- Was Tom quoting Alvar Hanso in The Hunting Party, and do the Others therefor have a connection to the Hanso Foundation? Yes, it is similar to the Hanso quote. There will not be any more fake Hanso commercials this year.
- Why were Darlton so down on the April 30th podcast? Does it have to do with all the deaths coming up? Damon said it's a bit of a letdown to have finished the writing for the season. Now they are talking about Season 4 and are excited to see the remaining eppys this year.
- Why no monkeys on the island? Joop is an important monkey and he may make an appearance. Joop is the failsafe cancellation episode! LOL Joop is the name of the monkey in a Jules Verne story.
- Will LOST run Jan -May next year and has Carnivore been picked up yet? Carnivore is in development. Yes, they think the show will run Jan-May.
- Will there be podcasts during the hiatus? Carlton would like to do some. The writers take a vacation for a month post season finale. They will be at Comicon again this year.
- Does Chris enjoy his job and what is it like to watch Darlton without pants every week? He does.
- When LOST is canceled, will ABC give the writers enough time to end the show well? The show will not end badly, and Darlton are still trying to determine an end date with ABC.
- Is the Hurley Bird Smokey? Where in Hurley's past did we see the bird? We've seen the bird in finales past and we may see it again, but it has never appeared to Hurley before he got to the island.
- 3 things have to happen in each podcast: Carlton has to comment about his lack of pants, Damon always answers q's from Carlton with "that's an interesting question, Carlton", and then there is a 99% chance that a phone will ring. Is Chris's only job the podcast or does he have other work on LOST? He does other podcasts-Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy, but LOST is the only one with fan questions

Set for episode 320 : The Man Behind the Curtain
I run a lost board and one of my members lives in Hawaii. Well they sent out a casting call for babies and she had just had one and her baby was picked to be in next weeks episode. SHE plays baby Ben. Here are some pictures form the set and the one on the bottom is from a few days ago when she ran into Michael Emerson at the store and he took a picture with his younger self.

UPDATE: While we were filming episode 20 with Amanda, the first scene with her was to be how Ben came into this world. However there is an inconsistency that we noticed in the second scene that she was a part of.

Ben's parents made it out of the forest after his mother delivered him in the forest. However, because of the loss of blood, she is dying. When they get by the side of the road, Ben's father flags down a couple driving a Karmon Ghia for help. Off to the side of them was a road sign going in the opposite direction that said, "Portland 32".

Now...didn't Ben say he was born on the island?



ABC Set to annouce Lost end date !

2:00 p.m. update: 

Since this story launched earlier today, I have been hearing from multiple sources inside ABC that the story is "more complex" than what was originally reported by my colleague Marc Malkin in E! Online's Planet Gossip.

According to these sources, ABC will be making an announcement declaring an end date for Lost very soon. However, the exact number of remaining episodes and seasons is still muddy—and might not be exactly two seasons.

The good news? You don't have to wait long. I'm told the announcement will be made within the next few days.

Original story, 9:52 a.m.:

My E! Online partner in crime Marc Malkin just announced in his column, Planet Gossip, that ABC is set to announce that Lost will end production after two more seasons.

I know. Breathe, Lost fans. Breathe.

Here's what I can tell you. I just spoke to insiders at ABC and they tell me the network and producers have reached a decision on an end date and they are expected to announce it very soon. This is meant to be a good thing, because now the producers finally can start mapping out the remaining episodes and rolling out some of the major reveals and answers we fans have been waiting for.

I'm also told there are more big changes in store for the show!

According to sources, ABC is planning to push back Lost's return date to January of next year in order to air new episodes back-to-back, and it is also "extremely likely" that Lost will change time slots next season.

Still, the biggest change may be that massive, mind-blowing, cast-related "game-changer" I keep hinting about—to which I am sworn to secrecy, for it is that big—which is revealed in the season finale. (I cannot wait for you to see it.)

Word is, Lost is moving to an earlier hour, which will make at least one fan happy: Josh Holloway's brother. "I do feel like we're in the wrong time slot," Josh told me during my recent trek to the set in Hawaii. "Most definitely too late, because I lost my own brother. He’s like, 'Dude, I got to get to work in the morning!' I’m just going to say it. Let’s move it back to 9 o’clock or 8 o’clock."

Let it be said that Josh Holloway and his brother have mad pull.

Thanks to Desmondhume108 from the Fuselage for the highlights.

-Jae Lee commited suicide. Sun's father didn't push him off the balcony. Apparently, some people thought Jae Lee was murdered.
-Damon and Carlton finished writing the season finale and are now filming the finale.
-There will be more about Charlie and Desmond's premonitions.
-Penny sent the parachutist. Damon and Carlton do not refer to her as (this name is a spoiler until it is told to us in an ep).
-(this name is a spoiler until it is told to us in an ep) will be explained further in D.O.C.
-The mystery of the wire, including where it goes to and what it does will be answered this season.
-Damon and Carlton made a point to mention that the father of Sun's baby could be Jin, Jae Lee, or a mystery person. They are probably joking, but if they weren't, my guess is Michael would most likely be the mystery person.
-More of Juliet's motives will be shown in D.O.C.
-Ben wasn't conceived in a test tube.
-Don't believe Ben when he says he was born on the island.
-Ben wasn't the father of Savinne's child.
-There were discussions whether Aaron said Claire or not in One of Us. I actually thought I heard it too, but Damon and Carlton confirmed that Aaron cannot talk.
-For the (insert insanely large number here) time, Christian Shepherd is DEAD!
-We not seen Jacob in a previous episode and won't until he is revealed.
-Ben has been in love. We will get a "sense" of it in 2 weeks.
-There will be a Rousseau flashback eventually. In it, it will talk about Montand and his arm.

epi 321 charlie's fb

FILMING RIGHT NOW rainy alley way....Charlie is wearing the same black leather jacket and carrying his guitar just like the flashbackscene he had with Desmond so this is a continuation of that same day Desmond met Charlie singing on the sidewalk.

A lady is being mugged in the alley way....GUESS WHO!!????!!

It's Naomi. He saves her from the mugger with the knife.

Hmmm, so I would assume that Naomi knows Desmond because at this scene, it puts them all in the same general area on the same day.

They are also setting up now at the same corner where Desmond and Charlie came upon eachother in London, only they have a big "green screen", and they haven't decorated anything else, so I'm assuming they'll be bringing down the rainmaking stuff and Desmond may show up with Charlie and/or Naomi to tie it all together and they will just green screen the rest later in the background.

But it requires Charlie to take on a dangerous task that may make Desmond's premonition come true.

Kristin's spoilers

Chloe in Dublin, Ireland: Any info on if we will be getting any more hot Sawyer and Kate scenes on Lost?
Well, I can tell you what Evangeline Lilly told me: "I'm at the mercy of the writers as much as the audience is; I just have to keep rolling with the punches...So far, they haven't thrown me any curveballs, but you never know." Sounds to me like the writers are staying the Skate course. Sorry, Jaters. For the record, I am neither a Skater nor a Jater but a SkaJater, meaning I want my Skaters and Jaters all to feel the love. Maybe Lost can move to Utah and SkaJate can all be one big happy family in two houses surrounding one pool?

HenryLee in London: Please, I'll take any news you have on Lost!
Well, there's a lot going on as far as that mysterious visitor from last week, who you probably figured out by the credits is Miss Marsha Thomason from Las Vegas. (Maybe she blew off a Vegas rooftop like Lara Flynn Boyle and landed on Lost island?) She is a major twist to the plot, from what I hear. I also hear that [read only if you want to know!] this week there will be shocking moment when the fallen angel (Thomason) tells Hurley the fate of the real (wtf?!) Oceanic Flight 815.

Carmela in Wisconsin: Lost!
We'll definitely see more of Sawyer and Sayid working together. How far they've come—from torture to teamwork! Yay, S & S! Plus, sounds like Penny's dad, Charles Widmore, may be seen again. Alan Dale (also Big Daddy Meade on Ugly Betty) tells me, "When I was at the Golden Globes, one of the executive producers came up to me and asked, 'Would you like to come back?' And I said yes, of course, if we can work it out, although obviously Betty comes first." If only his son Daniel Meade had such priorities! (Did that last ep break your heart or what?)

spoilerfix spoiler

Site visitor Matt sent us information about what (this name is a spoiler until it is told to us in an ep) will tell the survivors about Flight 815: "At the close of the episode our beloved cast aways will inform the parachute girl that they're survivors of Oceanic flight 815. The parachute girl will give them the unfortunate news that what they've just told her is impossible seeing as how the wreckage of that flight was found and recovered, and that there were no survivors. The episode promptly ends thereafter."

They are now casting for a 40-year-old flight attendant.

On still-mysterious Lost, no season-finale is complete without someone dying. Who that will be is still anyone's guess. The survivors of Flight 815 will have another showdown with the "Others," the origins of the Dharma Initiative will be explained, and the beach occupants divide into two camps: one run by Jack (Matthew Fox) and the other Sawyer (Josh Holloway). One old face you will not be seeing is Harold Perrineau as Michael, who actually turned down an opportunity to return in the season finale. At this point, we have to assume that Michael and Walt are safe and sound at home. Source: MediaWeek [Note: Some people talk about a Jack/Locke showdown others talk about Jack/Sawyer. In any case, there will be a showdown between Jack and someone else.]

ausiello's spoilers

Question: Am I the only one who thinks this is the best season of Lost? Anyhoo, can you give me some more info on the five deaths you scooped in last week's Ask Ausiello? Like, are all the deaths going to be Losties, or will it be a mixture of Losties and Others?— Benjamin Flemming
Ausiello: It'll be a mix, but one side will get hit harder than the other. Speaking of Lost, get a load of this: Michael Emerson’s wife, Carrie Preston, is guest-starring in his flashback episode — as his mother!

Question: Wow, five deaths! Please tell me that Juliet is not one of them!— PGP
Ausiello: They wouldn't dare.
