By John via DarkUFO - Josh, Terry and Juliet (+ Jorge) filming at Ka'a'awa Valley
Just took a Kos Hummer movie tour today. Lost is filming all week in the Ka'a'awa Valley. (Hurley's golf course, plus many other scenes filmed there.)
There is a large "army camp" set, a huge new tower which looks like an oil rig only in wood - maybe a well. I saw Locke and Sawyer for sure. Others spotted Juliet and reports were Hurley was on the set which makes no sense!

'Anyway we took some pics of the old beach from season 1, the waterfall, the other's houses, etc. At the end of the day we decided to look at one more site, Police Beach, and we came up on them shooting a beach scene. In the scene was Sawyer, Juliet, Charlotte, Miles, AND Faraday. The raft was on the beach. It seemed that Faraday was telling them something but we weren't aloud to get to close. So Faraday's alive or......it's a flashback of some sorts. lol'

By Dustin and Carole via Ryan: Sawyer, Juliet, Rose, Bernard, Miles and Charlotte on set
Dustin: 'Saw Sawyer, Rose, Bernard, Juliet, Miles and Charlotte. First scene we saw had Sawyer, Bernard, Rose, and Juliet. They appeared to be having a conversation in the jungle. Second scene had Charlotte and Miles, going back to camp. We watched for about 90 minutes. According to one of the crew, it was for Episode 5×01.'

Carole: 'We went out and saw them filming a scene with Elizabeth Mitchell and Josh Holloway. We also saw Vincent the dog! The scene had Sawyer, shirtless and in jeans, talking to Juliette. We also think they may have been shooting with “Rose” as well, as when we were walking by, we heard someone ask if Rose was ready and miked up… When we made our way back, security for the property saw us and then walked us through a wooded trail back to our car — because if we would have went back via the beach, we would have been in the shot. As we walked through the woods, we saw some tent-like structures that were probably used at some point for filming.'

- The Black Rock..?
'The Lost producers are looking for two ships, both need to be seaworthy. The main one they wanted was a big black ominous looking ship, but the ship company didn't have anything that was even remotely similar to what they described. However, they booked another ship and it's going to be a chase ship which goes after the big black one.
The chase ship is the oldest ship in the marina and it looks like it's from the 1500's. Do you know why they would want boats that looked to be several hundred years old?
They want to film out in the Pacific off the California coast in early September.'

- By Doc Arzt: Premiere center on the O6 facing the need to go back
'According to our trusty "Super Sock," (Who did furnish some of the ultra awesome and thoroughly accurate asterix quizzes) "Because You Left" deals with several of the Oceanic Six coming to grips with their need to return to the island... on their own terms. If true, this means season five will get right down to it and do away with the issues of Jack 'convincing' Kate to return right off the bat.
In this sense the statement "Because You Left" deals with not a specific set of circumstances, but multiple character's circumstances.'

Mega Scoop by Matt Mitovich: Jack & Juliet; S5
I know Skaters and Jaters are asking about their Lost couples, but please don't ignore us Jacketeers! Is there hope for a Jack-Juliet reunion? – Tamuna
Matt: Hope? Sure. It's just a matter of where (back on the island, I can only assume) and when (perhaps as early as this coming season, at least one source tells me). And for those fretting about Elizabeth Mitchell's future with the show, I am assured that Juliet figures very heavily into Season 5. Me, I see her and Sawyer (wet and shirtless or even dry and clothed) taking charge as Locke and his band of worshippers move forth with whatever cockamamy plan they have in mind.

- Doc Arzt - Season Five RUMORS & SPOILERS

We'll file this under spoilers, just in case, but here are a few things circulating about that may, or may not, be true and don't seem to be getting any air anywhere else -- along with a few things that are beginning to bubble up.

- The premiere presents a logistical challenge for the cast and crew because for the first time the episode takes place in THREE separate time-lines.
- There have been spurts of crew activity on the island, even though filming doesn't begin until August 18th.
- The cast is reportedly still "spread out." No signs, apparently, that there have been any gatherings for readings or anything of that nature.
- So far there have been NO casting calls for the premiere, at least no public ones. The most recent LOST related casting call was for Dan Bronson for the ARG.

According to Josh Holloway in the new TV Guide, Sawyer will - much to the delight of the ladies - be shirtless during the first few episodes of LOST season five.

General Thoughts
Well, it seems that, by Holloway's comments, we will see the island from the get-go, so that mystery is solved. It appears that season five is going to stick to the concise nature of season 4 when it comes to not stalling ala season 2 and 3, and cover all the bases and a bit more.
The three time-lines sort of, for this episode at least, blows apart the notion that episodes will focus on one time-line with the other being the flashes. Ala, this is an island episode with the flash sequences being off the island Oceanic 6. The question is, would they have ALL episodes jump back and forth between the O6 and the relocated island folk?

Josh: "Sawyer doesn't find his shirt for the first two episodes, which is really disturbing. Coming after a hiatus, that ain't fair!"

- BBC News: TV's Lost audience 'will be lost'

- Watch with Kristin spoiler chat: Sawyer&Kate; S5 structure
Wendy in Singapore: Kristin, thank you for all the Comic-Con reporting. Do you have any other Lost stuff? Especially about Kate seeing Sawyer again?
Actually, I just heard from a reliable source what the new nonflash story structure is supposed to be for season five, and here's what I can tell you:

1. What my source told me seems to jibe perfectly with everything we've heard straight from the mouths of Damon and Carlton at TCA and Comic-Con
2. It could be incredibly confusing
3. Think about the Jin and Sun episode from last season.

In particular, this new story structure (which we'll discuss more as it gets closer to the new season) seems to ease my biggest fear about season five: separated characters and character groups. So before the secret gets out and everyone starts bitching about the confusing part, I'd like to say thanks, writers, for listening to us fans about wanting to see our faves continue to share adventures. Cheers.

Damon & Carlton interview for G4 TV
The prodicers say S5 will be a lot different from S4; they have "new tricks in their bag"; both the Island and the outside world will still be part of the show; their main fear for Lost is to get boring and stalling; so they hope to keep the "aggressive storytelling" high; the big question after the end of S4 is, with the Island disappearing, where is the Island and when is the island, hopefully those are the things that will keep the audience engaged; knowing the end date of the series allows them to be always sure of the pace they're keeping.

Q: When the hatch imploded and the sky turned purple? Did the Island move then?
A: No. But something happened.

Q: Will there be a Rousseau flashback?
A: We will see Rousseau's story, to use the word flashback might be disingenious. Damon: We're steering away from the flashes.

Q: Will Kate ever see Sawyer again?
DL: Not if Jack has anything to say about it. CC: Yes. Kate will see Sawyer again.

Q: Is there a limit to how far the flashes can go back and forth in time?
A: We're going to tell stories in a new and exciting way. This year, when season five starts, you're not going to know when and where you are. CC: There will be storytelling both on and off the Island and in different periods of time. Guy who makes wooshing sound will remain employed.

- iFMagazine: The Scoop on 'Lost' Season 5
'As for teases on the new season, as usual the executive producers are tight lipped, but they do reveal this season will be about the Oceanic 6 getting back to the island.
“The people that are off the island, the island seems to be drawing them back and Ben [Michael Emerson] makes it clear they need to go back to the island,” says Cuse. “So hopefully that’s a lot of what you’ll see of in Season 5 -- the journey how those six return to the island.”'

- Watch with Kristin - ABC's Big Bosses Dish on Grey's, Lost, Desperate and Betty
'Damon and Carlton also were asked about diversity issues, with an implied reference to Harold Perrineau's speculation about how race might have played a role Michael's death, and Damon said, "The show has to be an equal-opportunity murderer...We've killed a lot of white people. And I can almost guarantee we will be killing more white people this season."
When pressed on their plan for season five of Lost, Damon said, "This is a tricky year for us. This is like The Two Towers [portion of The Lord of the Rings saga]...it links us to the final season...We've known a lot of what we want to do there [in the final season] for a long time, but the challenge is how do we make this season engaging and exciting. The worst thing we could ever do on the show is for the show to be boring...If we're going to be bad, we're going to be spectacularly bad."'

- Ausiello - Live Press Tour Diary: ABC Day Two
- 'Cuse hints that "the journey about how those six return to the island" will be a major thrust of Season 5. Adds Lindelof: "You have to break your characters up to create conflict... but you can't play that too long because the audience will get frustrated.... And we have that intensely in mind as we proceed."'
- Cuse teases we'll see more of Daniel Dae Kim "in some form" this season despite Jin's apparent death.

- He gives a shout out to Skaters and Jaters and then mentions that we call them Darlton. Kate will end up with one of the two eventually.
- Production starts in August and Season 5 will air from January to May 2009.

Watch with Kristin - Lost Finale: Did You Still Have Some Questions or Something?

Mike in Hermosa Beach, Calif.: I have one question that I can't seem to find an answer to. And it's probably meant to be that we didn't hear, but what the hell did Sawyer whisper to Kate before he jumped?
Survey says: I've checked with my sources, and also a rep for the show, and have been told that the writers are "saving that secret for later on." According to one insider who works on the show, that line (what Sawyer said) wasn't even in the script. I wouldn't put too much stock into the gazillion daughter-in-Alabama (or possibly Albuquerque) "What Sawyer Said" videos currently playing on YouTube, some of which claim to have official and complete subtitles. Bottom line: Only Damon and Carlton know the whole truth, so I'm staying cautiously skeptical for the time being. If anyone sees them at Comic-Con next month (when they officially break their "radio silence"), tackle them and tickle them until they tell us if we can trust this YouTube business, OK?

Jen in Boston: I just noticed on the alternate endings to the Lost season finale on abc.com, the ones with Desmond or Sawyer in the coffin. What is that about?
That is about making sure people like me (evil, evil people) didn't spill the beans on who was in the coffin before the finale aired. And about showing off how hot Sawyer and Desmond are when wearing suits (even if they are dead). Seriously, don't give those endings a second thought, because there's the external drama of managing the fandom and the foilers, and there's the show itself. As Joss Whedon once said, "Trust the tale, not the teller."

Chris in Henderson, Nev.: If next season of Lost is about the Oceanic Six trying to get back, wouldn't it be more than just Emilie de Ravin who would need a holding contract? What about Josh Holloway, Terry O'Quinn, etc.?
They don't need holding contracts because we're going to see them on the Island next season, sillypants. I have no idea how they're going weave together the stories from back in the world with the stories from the Island, but Sawyer, Jin, Locke and company will be present and accounted for. I think a lot of season five will be a great ironic contrast between what the O6 think is happening on the Island, and what the Islanders think is happening in the world (all while the Widmore-Linus war rages around them).

The New York Post: 10 reasons why 'Lost' is found

2. We learn Jack's fate: The finale introduced the flash forward and showed us Jack's (Matthew Fox) slide into alcoholism when he leaves the island. "The flash forward is part of an overall plan for the show," says Damon Lindelof, co-executive producer. "Season 4 is about who gets off the island and the fact that they need to get back. Season 5 is about why they need to get back, and season 6 is about what happens when they get back."

3. We know who survives: Season four introduced six survivors: Jack (Matthew Fox); Kate (Evangeline Lilly); Hurley (Jorge Garcia), and Sayid (Naveen Andrews). This "Oceanic 6" make it off the island, but one will die - exactly who will be revealed this season. "We've made a choice to focus on the characters that fans have loved since the beginning - Jack, Kate, Sawyer (Josh Holloway), Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Sayid and Hurley," says Lindelof.

8. More sexual tension: The love quadrangle between Jack and Kate, Kate and Sawyer, and Jack and Juliet promises delicious complications, with Jack telling Kate he loves her, Sawyer asking Kate to shack up with him on the island and Juliet saving the day for Jack.


February 21, 2008
- Terry O'Quinn interviewed by The Canadian Press

AP: You've had other disagreements with the writers.
O'Quinn: At the end of Season 3 Locke throws a knife into Naomi's back and I said, 'This really hurts me, It's so not typical and it's so out of character and it seemed gratuitous.' I made the biggest stink I ever made with (executive producers) Damon Lindelhof and Carlton Cuse and they said, 'Look, Locke believes he was doing the right thing. His life was saved, he's been told, he's been instructed. He believes that this is the most dangerous person in the world right now and he does what he does. Do it.' I said, 'Well, you know, if I stab her in the back couldn't I at least shoot Jack in the knee or something?'

AP: What's it like working with such a large cast?
O'Quinn: One of the nice things about this cast, this size of cast, you get a new episode and you go, 'Oh great, now I get to work this little arc with Michael Emerson. We have a lot together. Or with Josh Holloway or Evangeline Lily and it's almost always a pleasure to find out who you're working with. Almost.

AP: Are there some you aren't pleased to work with?
O'Quinn: There've been some rough times but it's very familial in that way. It's like the holidays when you go, 'Oh God, uncle Bob's going to get drunk and abuse my cousin. But we'll get through it.'

From EW: Jeff Jensen interview with Lindelof and Cuse

- Naomi and Elsa's bracelets had no mytological purpose, they just thought giving Elsa the same bracelet would bring memories in Sayid;
- Adam and Eve, the skeletons, will be adressed but not this season;
- Episode 4x05 "deals with time travel and operates in different time periods";
- In episode 4x05, we'll find out which kind of calls the satellite phone can do and which it can't, explaining why they can't call the outside world;
- By the end of the season we will know who is in the coffin;
- The larger mythos, like "The Purge", will come back in season 5;
- NO to alternative realities, because they want the audience to invest in the story and the characters and what happens to them - that doesn't exclude time travel and bending of the space/time continuum though;
- By the end of the season, we'll know what happened since the O6 left the island/got rescued, to the point Jack and Kate meet in the airport;
- We'll see more hints to Jacob and the cabin, but that's not something that will be answered by the end of this season;
- the Orchid video showed at Comic Con is important this season;
- the mystery of Ben's list is linked to the wreckage seen at the bottom of the ocean.

Julia in San Diego: Lost! I just read somewhere that Sawyer might not make it through the season. Please save me from a true panic attack and tell me Sawyer isn't going anywhere!
Yes, Sawyer's going to be killed off in episode six, and from what I understand that will be the show's last-ever mention of the character. Audiences just never warmed up to him, and the writers realized it was best to simply give his off-putting storyline to a swift, clear-cut end. (I'm kidding. Seriously now, with all the stressing going on at tvdiva@eonline.com, I worry that you guys are all gonna give yourselves aneurysms. I promise you, if Sawyer were to eventually get killed off, which I consider unlikely in the extreme, the show would at least do it Nate Fisher style—that guy is gonna be around until the end in one way or another.)

Rumors

September 4, 2008
JD via DarkUFO: Details on Call Sheet (Locke + Richard + 2 characters in Egyptian clothes)

Hamburgo1001

Thanks for the new thread!

ME hinted at it in this LA Times article:

Who knows if it comes to fruition but I wouldn't be surprised about it at all.

I completely agree. The Kate character makes no sense to me anymore since the TMFT handcuff scene. IMO, the only logical reaction from Kate in that moment and the following episodes would have been outrage but instead she cried and groveled in front of Jack as if there's no tomorrow. Ever since that episode TPTB have stopped writing Kate like a real person and turned her into a human ping pong ball. Nobody can ever convince me that a real human being would ever behave the way Kate did in Catch-22. No chance in hell.

My worst fear regarding the triangle is that we'll get flashes years into the future in season 6 and that Kate will still have problems to make a choice e.g. 5 years after she has returned to the island and that Sawyer and Jack will still wait for her to make up her mind. I want to have believable character behavior on the show and that would certainly not be it. That would be utterly unbelievable and dare I say insane.

misteriosa

I kind of like this title.


Deej
But she loves both of us. Equally. Only in different ways. Or something like that. She also loves Maria. And Crystal. And everyone else who posts here. Fran kicks Kate's butt in that regard.


My worst fear right now is an early reunion of the O6 with the Left Behinders, more precisely, the possibility that we might get something similar to the FFs again. For example, seeing Hurley in a scene with Sawyer, Locke and Juliet on the island in episode 3 before we learn how or when he came back.

This fear wasn't caused by the latest Jorge sighting, because I've mentioned it before. It's did remind me that this is an option and that I'd really, really hate to see it happen.

Hawthorn

We still are without a title and I'm still blank on ideas.
I can totally see the writers do that, unfortunately. Every time we have said, They can't go so low/Dawson's Creek-like with characters who are 30-40, that's exactly what they've done.
When they flashed 2 years into the future, they showed us Jack confirming once again his "I Love You" to Kate, while Kate was still inviting him over after he had stayed away from her and Aaron since the meeting with Claire's mom.
In this show time passes, but things don't change.
You take back those offending words.
But they've mentioned the structure of S5 being something different - doing that would be a complete repetition of S4, characters included.

To me the loger the O6 stay away from the island, the better. I don't miss the triangle, I don't miss Ben bickering with Locke and humiliating him with his surreal smartness and tricks, and I'm looking forward to see the Losties work together without Jack giving orders around.

misteriosa

I know, but Kristin said we'd see the Losties going on adventures together and Matt hinted at an earlier reunion, too. We'll see.

Same here.

Hawthorn

But in such a scenario, how much time has passed on the island for the people left there when Jack & co. are showed back there again? It looks like episode 5x01 starts with the Left-Behinder seen right after the moving in space and time of the place.

misteriosa

That's the beauty of it - we wouldn't know. And it would be different.
I'm just babbling because we don't have much else to talk about.

That Dave guy from Lostpedia didn't go to check the set where Sawyer and Locke were filming, but the one that served as the Butcher shop. Lol He says they're filming in Ka'a'awa Valley (Ke'ehi) all this week (through Friday) so I hope someone else will go there.

Hawthorn

It might look cool at first, but for how many episodes could they keep it up?
A part of me hopes that Jorge was on set because Hurley will appear to someone there on the island. I'm that desperate.
Bummer. Our usual luck.
Thanks for keeping an eye on that guy, btw.

Misty, do we have any news about the filming date for episode 3? I don't know if I missed something while I was checking the old thread to update the first post.

misteriosa

I think DocArzt might've mentioned the date for ep 3 filming, but something's wrong with his spoiler entries at the moment so I cannot check.

Hawthorn

Dudettes, we need a title, what about:
"Give us a good spoiler and we'll give you a good title"
?
Thanks anyway. I checked Dark but couldn't find anything.

Speaking of Dark - I couldn't vote for Sawyer today. :-/

misteriosa

I like it.

This morning I was thinking whether to vote or not and I finally did. The poll went down soon afterwards. I think the result was 70-30 in favour of Sawyer.

Hawthorn

Changed it. I feel "better" with a real title, lol.
The poll system was so shocked to see you voting, it fainted.

The funny thing is that when I first checked Dark today, I didn't even wait for the poll to load and clicked on the comment section to read them, and I was so pumped to post one myself after I did that... to find the poll down was disappointing, lol. I'll post something anyway before I go to bed if the whole thing is still down by then.

misteriosa

Kristin's interview with... wait, wait... you guessed it... Michael Emerson - Nominee Michael Emerson Talks Emmys and Lost - E! Online
I have to notice that Kristin has been kicking Ausiello's butt for the past two weeks.


So, John Locke is special. He and Ben haven't had any scenes together yet so I guess we'll have to wait some more to find out what he said to the O6.

Ben has been interacting with those off the island. I have a feeling he wasn't talking only about the O6. Maybe Widmore.

Those who escaped have to go back. Does that mean Walt is not included?

The cast of centric characters is growing. I don't like the sound of that.

Hamburgo1001

I think what Michael means is that no character will have a centric for himself anymore. I guess 2 or more characters will share the episodes from now on. In case of Sawyer the most logical thing would be that he shares an episode with Kate.

misteriosa

I think it's more likely we'll be seeing an O6-centric, Left Behinders- centric, maybe Des/Pen/Widmore-centric etc.
