Sorry it saddened you so much Alexa.

Thanks a lot Crystal!
Josh looks great (except for the hair lenght but I guess I'll have to live with that.)
His cover seems a bit different than all the others.

Josh's words make me happy because I have a feeling Sawyer's storyline might be pretty good, but at the same time it's kind of sad and depressing to know he'll feel so hopeless and lost. He seems to be choosing not to leave rather than to stay, if it makes sense. I hope he'll eventually see the island as a place where he can start over.

I'm right there with you.

Why are people still playing the quizz game?
It looks to me like he and Kristin decided ignore the spoiler leakage for ep 4.

Here is, probably a shorter, online version of the article from the TV Guide - Back to the Future In our exclusive set visit, we delve into the daringly dark mysteries of the new Lost episodes! - TV Guide Magazine Cover Story | TVGuide.com

That cover made my week.
Thank you, TV Guide. Thank you.
(this is random, but I think the Evi pic is from the same photoshoot of the pic with the blue sweater they used when she was named the hottest woman on TV).
It makes sense, I understand what you mean and got the same feeling reading Josh's line. I have no idea where his story is heading but at least now I got a little reassurance that they're writing his emotions consistently.
Seriously. If a person reads spoiler, they know already. But Mickey recycles a lot of old questions so maybe who sent those did it before Dark pusblished the 4x04 synopsis.
The only "new" thing he said is 'other interesting "out of place" objects will turn up, both on and off the island' but it was somehow inted by both Dark in his first hangman game, and also from his source who mentioned a "Dhama artifact" off the island in the teasers for eps 2, 3 and 4.

Thanks for nothing, Michael. .D
Thanks! Later today I'll add all the new stuff to the opening post.

Alexa, I'm sorry about how much the news about Heath Ledger affected you , I wasn't a fan but it saddened me considering what I knew about him, so I can imagine how you can feel.

misteriosa

It looks new to me. That's Kate in her FF version.
I went to see her old cover and her hair seems different there, as do her eyes which appear bluish. But that was on eheavily photoshoped photo.

Yes, his emotional state makes sense even though his decision to stay seems odd to a lot of people who read this quote from Josh. I can't complain about it because Sawyer staying on the island was one of my biggest wishes for this season.

I won't even try to guess what he's atlking about. It seems pointless to me.

From BuddyTV - Exclusive Interview: Jorge Garcia from 'Lost'
WTF moments, yeah not my thing. The Aaron revelation sucks but people will probably love it.

And where is that Josh interview dammit?

From Dark's rumours - Rumours: TRUE : Libby back for Episode 4.08?
According to IMDB Libby will appear in episode 8.

Hawthorn

The lips/chin area of her face made me think of that other TV guide cover, but I didn't go to check the pic and I went by memory with my comment so it's not a ssurprise that I was wrong.
I just pray the focus on the island won't be on Jacob, the four-toes statue etc, and nothing else because I could seriously hate it. I didn't give up on my Las Vegas dream storyline for that, lol.
Sawyer making the decision to stay there is somewhat surprising, I agree, but we can't say anything until we get an idea on how the situation will get when things will start turning wild.

In the article, when they collect the comment from Evi they say something like she has just finished to shoot a "tense" scene with Josh. Do you think they were talking about ep. 4, something before that, or something after that? From eps 5-6-7-8?
Thanks!
That's the interview with Jorge that Doc Arzt asked Dark to take down a while ago.
Seriously. I hope at least it's going to be a long and nice interview, considering we've been waiting forever! And that Doc Arzt seems to have talked with Michael Emerson for hours.
Thanks again. That's kind of a confirmation, we guessed she was going to appear in Micheal's FB.

I need to go to eat, dang. :/
I'll make plans to rearrange my dinner schedule better for the future, lol!

misteriosa

No, really, there better be some great Sawyer scenes which will show us what's going on in his head.

Killing Cooper might be the event that made him change his mind and the situation with Kate doesn't help either.

I figured she was referring to the fight scene with Sawyer, the last one from "Eggtown". Less likely about one of their scenes from Sayid's episode.

One of the first sentences in the article says: Last September, on a hot and sticky Hawaiian morning, Lost's future was primed for takeoff.

But the repporter mentions the helicopter (Jack and Lapidus load it, Desmond demands a seat...). There've been no spoilers suggesting we'd see the helicopter land on the island that early or am I wrong? It certainly doesn't seem to happen in episodes 3 or 4, for which we got a lot of info.

Hawthorn

I'm still optimistic, Josh's words somehow reinforced that.
Maybe the Doc Arzt interview could help, too.

IF AND WHEN HE DECIDES TO PUBLISH IT.
I'm sure the themes touched in their argument will hit some nerve in him.
It saddens me a lot to imagine their last exchange is Kate's slap, at the same time it makes it easier to accept her attitude and actions in the future.
I went to re-read the article but what rings wrong to me is exactly the opening paragraph. We know in the premiere Desmond is frantically saying that they shouldn't have contacts with the boat, it's hard to believe 2 or 3 episodes later he has changed his mind. Even less than there is an elicopter parked there, when we know the Boaties parachute themselves on the island.
But really, I'm so confused about the timeline that I can't determine anything for sure. @_@

misteriosa

It's not up to him. You should focus your anger at Buddy TV.
They published the interview with ME on Jan 16. I guess we can expect the next one in a week's time.

Very convenient.

To make things even more confusing, Desmond hasn't even been mentioned in spoilers or seen in the promo photos for the first 4 episodes, except for that line from the trailer about not trusting the Boaties.
Maybe he'll have a vision about Claire on the plane and getting killed somehow so he'll try to replace her.
I think it's possible he's just making a scene to perhaps destract the newbies for some reason.
Maybe that scene happens in epsiode 5?

Hawthorn

He's on my black list too because he's hyoping the hell out of this season and had posted two articles which had no content other than that.
BTW, in the end it's Buddy TV who got to publish the interviews, right? If I remember correctly both the Jorge and the last ME interviews were posted there.
That's rule #1 of this triangle, you screw up one side to validate the development in the other. It could be worse... I remember how much got to me to see Kate totally focussed on the Jack rescue mission while Sawyer was pining over her at the beach, at least in this case it seems like there will be anger on both sides.
That could fit with the spoiler about Desmond feeling guilty over Charlie's death. He may do anything to be sure Claire and Aaron stay safe, no matter what.
That would be ultra cool.
Could be. But you shouldn't ask me because I'm the most confused fan of all over this topic.

Can't wait for Jack to bring up the Red Sox again. *yay...not*

Crystaline

Seriously. But I probably have a different reason altogether than you do for not looking forward to it.

Hawthorn

Yankees fan?

I should start appreciating Jack for the endless source of fun he is, like with his line about the beard in Hurley's episode, lol.

misteriosa

Yes, they were both published by BuddyTV.
Didn't he have an interview with EM, too? I hope Josh's will be up before hers.

I agree with you about Doc's reviews. Not just his but from all those people who saw the episodes and do nothing but create hype about them. For all we know they are great fans of Lost and have loved every episode so far. I'll wait until they air. Besides, I'm pretty sure some reviewers thought SIASL was awesome before fans saw it and realized it sucked.

And when you know the writers will never make one particular side look bad no matter what, it leaves Sawyer.


I'll roll my eyes at the reference but, like always, some fans will thinks it's the coolest thing ever.


From Dark's - Spoilers: New Billboards appearing

Just a pic of a billboard in Tallahassee, Florida which says:
IIRC one of the titles on the TV Guide says "Who leaves and who stays?"

So why reveal it so soon, in the first 7 episodes, if for example, the rescue happens only at the end of the season?
There's always the suspense issue. We've know since the finale that Jack and Kate are out of danger on the island. Now we'll be able to feel the same about 4 other people.
If we see one of them die in the FF, doesn't it take away from his or her on-island story?

But who knows.
If they stay on the island long enough, then maybe there will still be time for a Jate hook-up. Never mind that it would make Sawyer's words to Kate 100% true and her slap even harder to understand.

I just can't see them all staying on the island for the whole 16 episodes.

Hawthorn

I'm not sure. In the article he published some days ago he mentioned seeing her, Jorge and ME on set. But in that comment he posted on Dark's he only mentioned Micheal Emerson and Josh's interviews.
Exactly. I would understand if you had something to share in your message and before that you put a comment about how you feel about the episodes. But going on and on about their awesomeness, in abstract, is so annoying. (also, it seems like everyone is yelling in our faces that they've watched the episodes and we suck because we didn't )
The comments we've read so far aren't promising, nor are certain things we've seen last season... but again, how much credit can we put in certain comments? There were fans last year who thought the collest thing happened in the finale was Hurley saving the day with his van. That Sawyer line reported in the 4x04 re-cap gave me some hope, the same did Josh's statement on TV Guide.
They could make it interesting only if we didn't see how the person dies, just hear about his/her death. I'm pretty convinced they leave way before the end of S4, what I don't know is how they'll handle the going back to the island.
I think at this point, a Jate hook-up on the island is totally out of the question, even if they stay on island for the whole season. They wouldn't have put that line there if that was the case.

misteriosa

So, he didn't mention the interview with Jorge either even thoug it was done.
We'll have to wait until next week.

I hope you're right.

Didn't EM say we'll find out some Losties died in the FFs, in the same interview in which she said something that happens in ep 7 made her sad?
If that's the case, it must be either Jin or Sun because it doesn't look like it's any of the other 4. We know both of them appear in the FF so I assume we'll find out how exactly Jin (less likely Sun) will be end his life.

I'm trying to think of some reasons which could make sense for the rescue being delayed by the end of the season. I just don't see what those 8 episodes on the island would be about. We'll know pretty soon that the freighters are not good, we'll know who made it off..
What we still don't know is how they'll decide who gets to leave and who gets to stay, but according to the TV Guide the Boaties will pit the Losties against one another so we might find out their motivations pretty soon.
Besides the circumstances, it's also unclear how they'll get off physically (boat, helicopter, sub...?).

I think, once we see these 6 people leave the island, there will be no more need for the FFs. We'll probably jump ahead in time to the point when Jack and Kate meet at the airport or soon after. Then they could continue the story from there and fill in the gaps with FBs.
I also expect a time jump on the island because I don't see how else they could paralelly show both settings. They could also use FB to tell what happened between the rescue and the point in which the story will continue.
Let's say they surprise us with showing Sawyer living in an Othersville house with Juliet/Claire/Charlotte (I actually imagine dthey would use that trick and have him reunited with Cassidy in the FF). We know he loves Kate but he could be in another relationship out of convenience, comfort, or even some kind of stability.
He could even be the new "Ben" of the island.

Hawthorn

The comment about the ME and Josh articles came after the Jorge interview or as a comment to apologize for asking Dark to take it down (don't recall exactly), so I don't know...
She said the script for episode 7 made her cry a lot, but the part about the deaths I think was referred to the S3 finale, because she talked about people "exploding". Was it the Lost press conference in South America?
I don't think there are many options to delay that, even if the Losties who will leave trusted completely the Boaties, you need to set up some kind of war on the island to justify the episodes passing, and I can't see them going so far.
If they make Sawyer hook up with a woman he's never showed interest in before I'll be highly disappointed. I can deal with Juliet but it's going to hurt my vision of Sawyer if they set something up with Claire or the new chick, seriously. Hopefully the latter will go back to mainland with her friends (although Miles saying he'll "take care of her" has me afraid he's planning to leave her behind)
As much as I see Cassidy a closed chapter just like Kevin and Sarah, at least in her case there is some history and a daughter to explain having Sawyer settling for a woman who isn't the love of his life. That was a WTF that you could understand in retrospect.
Gosh, even Ana had bonded with Sawyer more than Claire and had a better dynamic with him.

*shudders*

I still wish he was on mainland using his skills and intelligence to help rescue the ones left behind. Getting an episode in which he checks on Clementine. Play James Bond with Sayid. Going around in a black leather jacket. *sigh*

misteriosa

I think it was some press event in LA.
I went to check that article and think she was talking about the new season.
It sounds like a FF death to me.

I agree. And the spoilers so far point to an early split between the Losties and them being suspicious of the new guys shortly after they arrive. If some spoilers or rumours about the newbies being well armed turn out to be right, even some fights might happen in the first bunch of episodes.

BTW I was going to ask you to send a question to Kristin about The Boaties getting into the Loaties' heads in interesting ways (I don't want to keep sending her the same question ), but they I thought that maybe she was talking about the newbies manipulating the survivors and pitting them against one another, just like TV Guide article suggested.

But they could easily show the "bonding" part in the FB, just like Kate's sudden character growth in the FF.
I thought Miles referred to killing Charlotte.

I'm pretty sure Sawyer will end up living in Goodwin's house and who knows, maybe he has a black jacket somewhere in his closet.
