Spoilers

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).

- TV & Satellite Week scans - Finale Special
'Josh Holloway, who plays Sawyer, is glad to be a "left-behinder". "At first I got mad and kicked cans around the house, but then I thought, 'Well, I don't want to do scenes in a city. I'm not ready for a courtroom drama, I like the jungle. I like being dirty and sweaty and all messed up'", he says. "And the island is still one of the major characters in the show, and I'm on the island, so I'm with the big guy."'

6 sneak peeks for 4x13 - There's No Place Like Home (Part 2 & 3)

1) Jack & Locke at the Orchid
2) The Others VS. Team Keamy
3) Michael, Jin & Desmond on the freighter
4) Sawyer, Sayid, Jack, Kate, Hurley, Frank on the elicopter
5) Locke & Ben inside the Orchid
6) Charlotte, Daniel and Miles at the beach

Damon Lindelof: Everything's gonna come together in this final two hours. We're gonna see how the Oceanic Six get off the Island. We're gonna see why they start lying. We're gonna see who doesn't get off the Island and see why some of them choose to stay.
Carlton Cuse: And we're gonna see a big kiss—a really big juicy kiss—between two characters.
D.L.: A spectacular kiss.
C.C.: And it's gonna be very good for people who are very involved with the Jack-Kate-Sawyer romantic triangle. You're going to see a lot more about that in this finale.
D.L.: So you're saying that kiss is gonna happen between two of those characters. Jack and Sawyer perhaps?
C.C.: I'm gonna say not Jack and Sawyer. I'm gonna say you can probably pick two other sides of the triangle.
D.L.: I'm gonna go one better than "there's one spectacular kiss": There are two spectacular kisses in the show...between four different people—not kissing each other. They happen at different times in the show.
C.C.: And they aren't the same characters kissing each other twice, so that will be good.
D.L.: Separate kisses.

"All we can say is that it's going to be very hard to get back to the island for those guys," co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof said. "But life will continue for the people who are not with them. How are we going to tell that story? We're not going to tell that."

"Kate's on the outs with Sawyer in a major way," Lindelof says of the on-again, off-again couple, who argued earlier this season after Kate thought she was pregnant. Even so, don't expect that to keep the pair from sharing a spectacular good-bye kiss that just might make their first one pale in comparison.

'Well after seeing the Promo for the Finale in 2 weeks I can confirm that the "Spectacular" kiss that people like Kristin have been raving about is between Kate and Sawyer. But there is more to that scene that has not been revealed yet.'

"I would say that will come out most likely next year," she ventures.'

Question: Ausiello, last year you rode in on a white steed and gave us crucial info about the Lost finale. Can you be our hero again this season and give us more on the "spectacular kiss"? — Beth
Ausiello: It seems Darlton was holding out on us. Not only is the kiss spectacular, but according to a very solid source, it's the kind of liplock that "stops f---ing time" and "makes the entire world vanish in the moment."

Alexandre in Toulon, France: Kristin! God I lose my French accent when I saw Jack and Kate hooked up! what happened? Please tell me it was a nightmare and Kate's heart still belongs to Sawyer!
Hee! Sorry, I had to include this question, 'cause it cracks me up. Who knew a TV show could make you lose your accent? But I hear you, mon petit fromage! Here's the thing: That spectacular kiss is still coming. In the season finale. Only a few weeks away. So let's all sit tight, OK?

Ally in Ireland: Please tell me Sawyer doesn't die...He isn't one of the Oceanic 6?
Right, he's not. But Sawyer doesn't die. He's alive. On the Island.

According to my sources, the Orchid Station, which we should finally see soon, may be a major set going into next season as well. I've personally decided that's because it is totally a time machine, but I've been known to talk crazy.

Teleconference with Lindelof and Cuse:
* full audio by DocArzt
* report by Cynthia Littleton
* Kristin of E! report

"All we can say is that Sawyer is not one of the Oceanic 6 and Jack and Kate are. And obviously, there will be a huge focus in these final three hours of the show that comprise the finale in terms of how that series of events transpires, and ultimately what happens to Sawyer, and it’s all on the axis of the love triangle. So we think that both fans of Sawyer and Kate, otherwise known as the Skaters from what I’m told, and Jack and Kate, the Jaters, will have a bounty of interesting romantic scenes." - Damon Lindelof

Via DakUFO: Josh filming top secret footage in Los Angeles
Update: 20th April - My source who was initially convinced about Josh Holloway filming some Lost scenes in LA is now not quite so sure. He thinks he may have jumped the gun based on some info he received. So it's still unclear if indeed he was filming in LA. Only time will tell and of course if we get any confirmation either way we'll update you on the situation.

'Josh Holloway was caught at LAX airport (video here) and I can confirm to you all that he was there for some top secret Lost filming. [...] I will tell you that the only other thing I can say at the moment is that "This is NOT filming for a Flashback". Also as I mentioned in the comments, he was not filming at the airport but was in LA for filming.'

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.

- Sounbite: Evangeline Lilly on the romantic triangle (thanks to tater):
"The triangle just becomes more complicated, it becomes more like a rectangle. And um that's fun. That's exciting. I've been saying now for two-ish seasons that, um, I want to see Kate stand on her own two feet, outside of any man, and I think everyone's going to interpret what happens with Kate, romantically, differently."

- Sounbite: Josh Holloway on the Sawyer/Kate relationship and S4 (thanks to tater):
"So far it's still, there's still feelings there and um, we have an encounter again this season. And it's an interesting one too...We've still got feelings, and we're undecided where that's going, and like I said before, I'm not sure exactly sure where my character is going to end up, so I think he may be proposing certain things to her, or her to him, like, 'Where ya gonna go?' It's kind of all up in the air because of the situation on the Island."

"This season is awesome so far, from what I'm reading and shooting. The stories are so concise and it's fast-paced and it's flashing forward and it's flashing back and it's in the present and it's always moving. Now...that's the best way I can describe Lost now: It's always moving, the story."

"Tune in for season four because the story is heating up and it's very concise and it's definitely heading toward an endpoint, so...now is the time not to wait for the DVD. Time to watch it, because every show is very intriguing and moves the story forward."

"Sawyer's bit cautious about people coming to rescue them," Holloway says. "He's come to the realization that there really is nothing back [home] for him. His life wasn't good. I don't think he'd know what to do back there." (interview taken in September 2007)

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

May 27, 2008
By Thomas via DarkUFO: Future Will be Present Time in Season 5!?
A friend who works in the Closed Captioning industry in LA has told me this little tidbit:
At some point in the finale a scene jumps to the aircraft pilot as a flashback - from the present off island.
Based on this information, can we assume sometime in the near future (i.e. season 5) we will be in the 'present' in the real world off island, and then flashbacks will now flash to the "past" (which we now think of as the present) on island?
Kinda a mirror image of the past 3 season.

misteriosa

Thanks for the title, the banner and opening the new thread.

deej240z

can't... stop... laughing. banner too... funny... bwaaaaahahaha

Hawthorn

I'm glad you find it decent, guys. I tried to be funny but... I'm not exactly the best in that field.

I think I forgot to mention this in the previous thread in reply to Crystal: I'm sad about Michael's death too. I was ready for the possibility, and I know the majority of fans either don't care about him or want him to pay with his life for the betrayal and the murders, but I was looking forward to a S5 with him on the island, amending his past actions day by day after having helped the O6 to leave. I thought it would be cool to have the raft trio back together.

P.S. Sorry for being on and off but today here where I am there is bit of craziness. @_@
And the weather is so freaking hot, urgh.

misteriosa

When Michael killed Libby and Ana Lucia, he finally became interesting and I thought there was a great potential for him to get some interesting storyline. Instead he was sent home, away from the island. Then they brought him back but only as a tool of the Island. There's no way I'll buy his season 4 arc as a redemption storyline.

Just another character sacrifised for lame plot points. (Yeah, the island is omnipotent. Boo hoo.)

It's hot as hell here, too.

addicted2much

*not looking*

I love the title. I remember reading that something was going to be the frozen donkey wheel.


*still not looking*

~Amarula~

The. Banner.Is. Freakin'. Awesome...

MrღMrsStinsbatskys

Banner is great! lovely thread!

Hawthorn

The lulz part of the banner is Jin's expression... that Tricia Tanaka Is Dead cap is just too funny.
We should start considering Chewie more because he's the only friend Sawyer has left on the island. ;_;


All the time Michael spent out of the show sure took away from his story, but they promoted his return so much, I thought it would be about much more than a bunch of episodes to simply put an end on his storyline. I was stupid enough to think that even the mobisodes he did were a way to involve him in the story again. Another signal (sort of) that he was back to stay. In the last episode he told Jin and Sun about his desire to help, but was it necessary to show him try to kill himself I don't even remember how many times before that?
And I liked Michael. ._.

So... what's your theory about Charlotte guys?

P.S. My connection keeps acting as a bitch. Like today wasn't already a crappy day.

P.P.S. I just I'm going to take a cap of the chopper sneak peek because there is wild!Precious blowing in the wind. *nods*

Katie19

In the canadian promo Jack and Sawyer are hiding (I guess when they get to the Orchid). I'm wondering if Keamy and Ben are still there. That could be interesting. A little fight would be good.

misteriosa

I'm sure there will be some fight scenes.

Here's another ME interview - Spoilers: Lost's Michael Emerson Teases a "Dark, Violent" Finale
Not really spoilery.

Hawthorn

You mean the scene in the promo where you can see Jack, Sawyer and Hurley? I don't know if they'll meet Keamy & co., but in the new sneak peek you can see that the chopper has a bullet hole leaking gas, so maybe something will go down.
(unless the elicopter was already damaged and I'm forgetting about it )
Thanks!
I feel like pointing out that I had to go search the meaning of "anointed" - my poor English strikes again, lol.

Another spoilery bit, about Keamy:
For Durand, playing the 'Lost' psychopath can be a blast - USATODAY.com
This is OT, but I see a lot of Keamy icons and lusting comments around lj, and I guess it's just me but I don't find the man attractive.

misteriosa

I don't think we'll see Keamy's backstory. He seems to have a nice body but I don't really like his face.

Carlton are hyping two kisses in this video - Watch with Kristin - Get Six Sneak Peeks of Lost's Season Finale—Plus Damon & Carlton Spill on the Spectacular Kiss(es)
The second kiss might be Desmond/Penny or Jin/Sun.
I hate and resent Carlton's implication that I enjoy the triangle or any other storyline involving Jack.
Damon has a funny, slightly irritating voice.

Why do I have a feeling this is a part of one previous interview in which Carlton wasn't wearing his glasses?
Could it have been this interview which is no longer available - Media Mentions: Interview of Lindelof and Cuse on G4's Attack of the Show?

deej240z

I hope it's Jin/Sun.

Sing it, sister!

Damon has an arrogant, irritating voice. Fixed! (this board really needs the [/strike] attribute.

misteriosa

It felt like they were pimping the S/K kiss as the big one so Jin/Sun would make more sense. If Bernard were on the guest list, I'd go with him and Rose.

I hate the triangle.
I hate Jack. That's how I've felt about him ever since the pilot.

I was pretending to be polite.

What?
