Some Lost Experience Stuff

Thanks to Lisa Kay for this video. Actually, I had gotten it a while back from Jamie and forgot to watch it. I guess I was too busy watching some dude do back flips on a pogo stick, and Bill Burr as he rips Philly a new one on O&A's Traveling Virus tour. Anyway, this video is made up of the clips that were compiled from The Lost Experience ARG. It really gives a good explanation of the numbers and the purpose of the Dharma Initiative. Enjoy!

Sneak Peek

I came across the following on You Tube. It's from the ABC Sneak Peek that aired the other night and contains an exclusive scene from the new season. Could that be Joop's cage that Sawyer is in? Watch and wonder...

***Possible Spoiler.Beware***

A few weeks ago I talked to Ian Somerhalder (Boone) during a phone junket for his new movie Pulse. When I asked him if the producers/writers of LOST would “bring him back to life,” he said “with this show, one never knows.” Well, with that statement fresh in our minds again I have posted a possible spoiler below: (highlight at your own risk)


This just showed up in my e-mail this morning from a reliable source:

Ian Somerhalder returns to LOST in Season Three

September 12, 2006

Ian Somerhalder who played Boone, the first major characters to buy-it in season one, on the hit series LOST has come back for another go around. Only this time, it's not popping up inexplicably in someone's flashback, as you might guess.

Hot off the release of his big screen horror "Pulse", the former LOST star spent a week in Hawaii working on new material for an upcoming episode of LOST which centers on the bushman-who-lost-his-way John Locke.

In the episode Locke, who is still reeling from his actions in the cataclysmic season finale, begins to have visions of the young man who died to keep the hatch a secret. Boone leads Locke to a redemption of sorts and sets him off on a "kung fu" like journey to unravel yet another island mystery. Sources say this journey rivals the season one fascination with the hatch and will find John Locke squarely returning to his mysterious mysticism and McGyver-ish ways.

I know I said last season that I would try to stay away from spoilers. I just couldn't resist this one since I had somewhat addressed it. I have more spoilers on that e-mail, so if you want it just let me know.

Season Three Promo Poster

Less Than A Month To Go!

As I sit here anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Lost: Season 2 DVD that I pre-ordered from Amazon, I have been going through a Season 3 "sneak peak" article from last weeks TV Guide. I just tracked my DVD and it arrived in Atlanta yesterday. It still says it will be delivered on Sept. 15th. I hope it doesn't sit around the USPS for a week. Anyway, I can't seem to find a link to the TV Guide article I just read so I will paraphrase the key points.

1. The Show Schedule: this has already been discussed. There will be six new episodes starting October 4th. The show takes a hiatus until February when it returns with the rest of the season in full with no repeats.

2. Focus/Direction: Season 3 will focus less on mythology and more on action-adventure and romance. Lindelof says it "will feel more like an Indian Jones movie this year." Does this mean that we won't find out what the giant four-toed foot statue was all about? According to TV Guide, a lot of the action will stem from the abduction of Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. The aftermath will dominate the season premier which has been reported to be Kate-centric.

3. The Love Triangle: Carlton Cuse (executive producer) says that the triangle will straighten out...sort of... early in season three when Kate makes a decision. Will it be Jack? Sawyer? or someone else?

4. The Others: Will we finally learn who they are, what they want, and why they only took Jack, Kate, and Sawyer? I'm sure we will be seeing and learning more about them seeing as Henry Gale (Michael Emerson) is now a series regular.

5. Desmond/The Hatch: TV Guide reports that Desmond does survive and will be back, but the Hatch is no more. Actually, I think I read about the hatch a few weeks ago and forgot to post it. My brain is already scrambled eggs and season three hasn't even started yet...great!

6. New Characters: Elizabeth Mitchell, Rodrigo Santoro, and Kiele Sanchez. Producers aren't saying what roles these new Losties will play, but they did let it slip recently that one of them will play an "Otherly" role in the season three premier. I did some further research into these new characters and found a site that claims that Elizabeth Mitchell will have a more permanent role while Santoro and Sanchez will play recurring characters. Here's an early theory: Elizabeth Mitchell plays an Other, but we discover that she and Jack know each other from the past. Hmmmmm? Discuss that amongst yourselves.

7. One last...(*doorbell ringing*)...oh...could it be...I'll be right back...

...as Napoleon Dynamite would say, "My lips hurt real bad..." No wait, I mean, "YES!" My Season 2 DVD just arrived. Big ups to the USPS and Amazon. Now where was I...oh yeah.

7. One Last Thing: Lindelof says to expect a "major bomb" to be dropped in the middle of year 3. According to another report, this "bomb" is supposed to re-scramble our brains even more. Something tells me that they will drop this bomb during the 6th episode right before the show goes on a 3 month hiatus. That way, we keep talking about Lost as we try to fit the pieces of the puzzle we just smashed back together.

I'm off to watch the bonus features on the Season 2 DVD. I may log on later if I find anything interesting...which I'm sure I will.

Thanks for reading!
