I take it you saw the "pink slip" as well?

Hmmm... guess I'm late to the party with that news. Ah well.

Not really spoilers but I think people might find this interesting

05/26 - They survived on luck. They survived on instinct. But on the other side of the island, they will discover they're not the survivors they thought they were.

You can view the teaser containing those lines by going HERE and then clicking on the row numbers (numbers at the bottom of the seating plan) 4-8-15-16-23-42. Enjoy the ride!]

05/26 - Harold Perrineau said that the pirates who took Walt were "The Others". He also confirmed that Walt has powers. Source: Jimmy Kimmel Live (Thanks Matthew for the tip.)

05/25 - Jorge Garcia (Hurley) was on Z-100 radio in NY this morning and confirmed he will be back next season. Source: Z-100 (Thanks AJ for the tip.)

05/18 - Harold Perrineau revealed that the voice on the other end of the radio communication Boone made in the other plane will be dealt with next season. Source: ESPN Radio (Thanks Dano for the tip.)

05/17 - JJ Abrams reveals: "[Season 2] is very much another chapter in the story, and it's one of those things where you really don't wanna say anything, but...they've been there for 40 days, and they've been pretty reluctant, for obvious reasons, to venture out too much. If the first 40 days was about their arrival and them realizing that they're going to be there for a while, I'd say the next 40 days is more about their establishing a sense of society and of more permanence, and there are going to be specific story points that will give them very specific objectives that will be part of the overall arc of the season next year." Damon Lindelof says: "One of the really cool things, to me, is that we are going to be introducing new characters to the show. And it'll just get out who we've cast, because we're gonna start shooting the show in July. I think people's default position will be, "Oh, they're all people who we just haven't met yet," sort of in the chorus of, you know, meat socks, as we call them, the people in the background... Maybe some of these characters will come from the chorus and maybe they won't, but word will start to trickle out over the summer about who's joining the cast of Lost, and, more importantly, who's leaving the cast." Jorge Garcia said: "I'm coming back, I think. I mean, I'm alive at the end of this season, so I assume I'm coming back. I'm not a guy who just disappears in the crowd." Source: Kristin on E!Online
05/16 - Matthew Fox on the "did Jack marry Sarah or not": Although some fans may wonder if Jack bolted right before saying the fateful vows, Fox has another idea. "I think people walked away from that," he says, "feeling that that they did see the full wedding ceremony, and that they are married. But the really cool thing was like, holy s**t, now they flash back, and we realize that Jack's never mentioned anything. He doesn't have a wedding ring on. He's never mentioned anything about a wife." "So, somewhere between three and four years, maybe five years, before we meet him on the plane as our hero, this guy was married to a woman that he absolutely adored. So what the hell happened in the interim? How did that come to an end?" "A lot of the story for next year on Jack will be about exactly that same thing. What happened to the relationship?" Fox also wonders about Jack's motivation for marriage in the first place. "There was that scene at the pool with his dad," he says, "where he said, 'Am I marrying her because I saved her life? Am I taking that idea of commitment so far that I'm actually confusing love and adoration with commitment and with following through on saving somebody's soul? Am I confusing that line?" "So he does enter into that with questions. He's clearly conflicted and then ends up making leaps. So we'll see what happens, why it all came apart." Source: Zap2it
05/10 - Cocreator Damon Lindelof reveals that the transmission and its source will play one of the most important pieces of plot for season 2. Source: Entertainment Weekly
05/07 - So far, the focus has been on only 14 of the 48 crash survivors, but that'll soon change. "The population of the island will be shaken up," Abrams says, revealing he's now casting new second-season regulars. "Not everyone will be coming back, and other people will be stepping up. Also, the survivors have explored almost none of the island, so next year becomes more mission-driven. And the inevitable fractious aspects of society-building begin to arise." Source: USA Weekend (Thanks Bonnie for the tip.)
04/25 - Film actress Michelle Rodriguez ("The Fast & The Furious", "Resident Evil") will be joining the cast of ABC hit show "Lost" next season as a regular. Source: TV Guide Online
04/18 - I THINK someone is dying early next season. And I've heard the person already knows because of contract negotiations going on, and is none too pleased and driving something of a hard bargain. Source: Kristin on E!Online
04/08 - Early on, Jack found some skeletons and a pouch containing black-and-white rocks. Explain. ''The black-and-white stones have been a recurring theme in the show,'' says executive producer Damon Lindelof (e.g., Locke's favorite board game, backgammon, and the mysterious Black Rock). ''We know who those skeletons are, what their story was, and what they were doing with those stones. But that's a question we won't be answering this season.'' - - Charlie was hooked on heroin. Recently, Locke and Boone found heroin on a plane. Discuss. ''One of the things that has made Charlie's ability to kick the habit so easy is that he hasn't had any temptation,'' says Lindelof. ''Reintroducing temptation is part of our intent. The good news, for now, is that he doesn't know that the plane is out there.'' Source: Entertainment Weekly (Thanks Sienna for the tip.)

Nest year will be even better I believe

A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article on season finales...

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05147/511178.stm

Quote:

Antsy and angry may also be how fans feel after Wednesday's "Lost" season finale failed to answer many questions about the show's mysteries.

OK, so now we can be pretty sure there are other people living on the island after they kidnapped young Walt (Malcolm David Kelley). And a few lives hang in the balance after the raft attack. Sure the hatch to who-knows-where got blown, but where it leads remains unknown. And viewers did see more of the mechanical-sounding monster that lives beneath the tropical tree canopy, but it resembled a free-floating ink spot (or was that shimmer some sort of invisibility shield?).

"Lost" gave viewers little payoff for watching all season. I defended the series to friends for months because I enjoyed the character stories in flashbacks, but that defense was based upon the assurance from producers that the show was headed somewhere. I'm no longer convinced that it is.

Quote:

And don't forget UPN's "Veronica Mars," the little show that could. This smart mystery-drama showcased the acting talents of two noteworthy stars, lead actress Kristen Bell as the title character, and supporting player Jason Dohring as nutball-with-a-damaged soul Logan Echolls.

That the series made good on its promise to reveal the true killer of Veronica's best friend, Lilly Kane, and set up an exasperating cliffhanger (Who did Veronica greet at her front door? Best friend Wallace? Ex-boyfriend Duncan? Logan?) just made its creative success all the more praiseworthy.

Nail, meet Mr. Owen's head. Or something like that.

I cropped the show so that it's the scene in question, as well as a little before and a little after. There is no sound, because I didn't feel like resynching the VBR audio for a simple clip.

Actually, while just editing the video, I noticed that aside from the main creature that appears in the air, there's also another off in the distance over the man's shoulder that is running away.

And if you'll allow me to go all Joss Whedon on you for a second, that fireball was pretty.

Private eyes, they're watchin' you. . . seeing your evv-ry moooove!!

Big Slick · 05-31-2005, 12:17 PM

Sorry to bring this dead thread back up, but I've got a big question for you "Lost" fans out there. This is from Samuel L Jackson's bio on IMDB:

Quote:

Notable TV Guest Appearances

"Lost" playing "Bernard" in episode: "Genesis: Part 1" (episode # 2.1) 23 September 2005
"Lost" playing "Bernard" in episode: "Exodus: Part 3" (episode # 1.25) 25 May 2005

Bernard is Rose's husband, and it says he was in the season finale! I don't have it taped anymore, anybody out there have it or recall seeing him in the background in a flashback? I can't imagine a huge film star like that becoming a main character on a TV series, but wow, it would be awesome to see him as the leader of the tail section survivors! Given that we've already got a quickie appearance from Michelle Rodriguez, another tail sectioner movie star, it seems quite likely there'll be a tail section story line...

So, any SLJ sightings, TiVo crowd?

**Baby Lee** · 05-31-2005, 12:25 PM

The tagline for next season is "they've survived x and x and x, but next season they find out they're not the survivors they thought they were. Speculation is pretty settled that there'll be another contingent discovered with Bernard and Michelle's character among them.
All in favor of a bra and panty cat fight between Michelle and Kate over Jack?

Creepy. Also, the song ref really makes me wish I had a screencap of Vinnie Vanlowe singing it from the window in episode 17 of Veronica Mars. Hilarious.

It's IMDB, so "grain of salt" and all, but interesting. I don't even remember seeing Rose in the finale.

"What part of the island you from? 'WHAT?' They speak English over in 'WHAT?' Say 'WHAT' again, mother****er!"

I don't have the fottage anymore, but I'm betting you'll see them either in the background at the terminal or in the montage as everyone gets seated before takeoff.
