The Official "Lost" the series discussion

[Deberg_1990]

I figured I would start a thread for this and see what happens....there seemed to be quite a few viewers on the board for this show the past few weeks.....I like the direction the show is taking so far......episode 3 tonight at 7 central on ABC....

Also, last nights episode was awesome.

I just wish there were more than 6 episodes left (or however many there are, not sure).

Also, I was pretty pissed with the next week on lost preview showing what it did.

Spoiler!

Michael coming back and all. It looked like he was on island too, not in the other timeline, which is weird.

Anyways, I havent come into this thread much lately because I am paranoid that it will get ruined for me. I think I may have already been spoiled on something very huge, but I'm not sure if its true or not.

Posting theory's are okay. Posting on events of what has aired is okay. If its in the preview, people have seen it so its okay to discuss.

I don't think anyone has violated those unwritten rules this year. If you haven't seen the latest episode, stay out of the thread.

I couldn't watch this weeks episode until last night....so I stayed the hell out of here.


Great episode. Probably one of my favorites.

I agree with both points...if I haven't seen it I stay away...and I really liked the latest episode.

Thats pretty much the unwritten rule in all these media threads.

This inst a spoiler Its already known he is coming back along with everyone else except for Eko

Also it is known Hurley sees dead people no need t put that in a tag

[Mr. Plow]

Someone remind me....

What happened with Eko? I seem to remember that some off set stuff lead to him being written out of the show.

I know what you mean, my friend. Trust me, I'm completely spoiler-free. I do watch the "next week on LOST" promoes after each episode. But that's the extent of it. Any theory I post has nothing to do what-so-ever with spoilers. Most people have been really good about not posting spoiler info. Having said that...

This is a spoiler. Not a major one. But could you please Spoiler tag this? This information is only "known" if you seek it out. This has not been confirmed in-show. So it is a spoiler. And I didn't know that. So now I'm "spoiled." It's not major, but dude... come on. Be smart.

The official story (as I recall) is that he had the opportunity to work on an independent film that was very close to him. A project he'd been trying to get off the ground for a while. However, it was also pretty widely reported that the actor didn't like living in Hawaii. I believe there were also some personal issues. Either a parent was sick or had just passed. Something like that. I'm sure it was some combination of those issues.

Unofficially it was reported that he didn't get along well with other cast members. Specifically Terry O'Quinn. I'm not sure if that's just pure gossip, but some outlets reported that there were personality conflicts.

Labels: Desmond, Henry Ian Cusick, TV Guide


TVGuide.com: Would you say that Desmond is everyone's constant?
Cusick: No, I don't think that's right. In the flash-sideways, the characters are all slightly different from the characters on the island. They're all slightly hypnotized or haven't seen the truth. Like Desmond, he's slightly dead in this life. He's just a hollow corporate guy until Charlie [Dominic Monaghan] comes along. Desmond also recognizes that everyone in that sideways world — there are clues when you look in the mirror — when they look at their reflections, they go, "Hang on, what is reality?" They're aware something is not quite right, but they can't put a finger on it. Desmond now knows he's alive again and knows his purpose.

TVGuide.com: And now he wants to find everyone on Oceanic 815 to show them that truth.
Cusick: Yeah, at the end [of the episode], Desmond says "Where's the manifest? I need to show them something and it's going to be beautiful." When they get to see this other world, that's when their hearts will open and know what they have to do; they'll know the truth.

TVGuide.com: Based on what Desmond, Faraday (Jeremy Davies) and Charlie saw, their flashes seem to be based in love. Would you say that's a strong theme of the series?
Cusick: Yes, you're absolutely right in a sense that the driving force of Lost is love. Desmond is totally driven by love. What's interesting is how they see this other world. Charlie and Desmond both had near-death experiences and they recognized their loves. It's sort of spiritual, the thing they have to get to at the end of this, what Desmond has to do.

TVGuide.com: Desmond changed his fate in the sideways universe by meeting Penny. Does the fact that he suddenly then woke up mean their fates are determined by their upcoming choices?
Cusick: Desmond says to Charlie that there's always a choice. He's only out for a very short time when he's given that electromagnetic charge, but when he comes back to the island, he is enlightened and knows exactly what his mission is. He embraces that and now knows what he has to do, so he follows Sayid [Naveen Andrews] because that is a way for him to further his mission. He's not struggling with anyone; he knows what has to be done. It's a very odd moment with Sayid, but this is the way for him to fulfill his mission.

TVGuide.com: Is Desmond claimed like Sayid and Claire (Emilie de Ravin) are?
Cusick: No, absolutely not. He's not claimed at all. It's the polar opposite. Sayid and Claire have been claimed by the Man in Black. Desmond, on the other hand, has had an epiphany. He's enlightened. He has no fear of the Man in Black.

TVGuide.com: Eloise (Fionnula Flanagan) seems like she knows what's going on in the sideways universe and even tells Desmond that he's not ready. How is it that she's conscious of this?
Cusick: She is a law unto herself. She's working on a different timeline. She always seems to know more than everyone else. She's like the oracle. If I was a fan watching it, how she seems to know wouldn't bother me just now, but hopefully these things will be addressed. She's opposed to the idea of Desmond trying to bring everyone together. She's trying to cover everyone's eyes.

TVGuide.com: What's the mission that Charles Widmore (Alan Dale) wants Des to complete?
Cusick: Widmore and Desmond are on the same mission. Basically, Widmore says if Desmond doesn't survive the electromagnetic blast, we're all going to die, so Desmond is there to help make sure that people don't die, along with a lot of others. There will be more explosions.

That's a really interesting interview and quite enlightening. A lot of people have been saying that the ALT timeline characters are "better off" than the real timeline, but Cusick seems to think the ALT people are "slightly dead" and "hypnotized".

You thought Eko was coming back? I thought it was known for awhile (seasons) that he wouldn't be back on the show ever. Maybe I just made the assumption.

Spoiler!

If this is why you avoided it, why did you come back? You're waaaaay too sensitive about spoilers.

I herd rumors he wanted to come back during the season 5 - season 6 break.

Either way casting in future episodes is spoilers, hence my spoiler tag earlier.

[Red Brooklyn]

Speaking of parallel dimensions....

Forget LOST, this is the future of television.

I would. The whole thing. Yes, please.

Exactly.

I'm a little bummed about dude's post. But, it's pretty minor. If that's all that gets spoiled, I'll be okay. I hadn't even heart rumours of Eko coming back. Would have been cool, though. Maybe he still will and it's ultra-top secret?

It's not a spoiler. On top of that they showed him in the previews for next weeks show with him talking to Hurley. So no it's not a spoiler
