"S.O.S."
Rose is surprisingly and vehemently opposed to Bernard's plan to create an S.O.S. signal; romantic sparks are rekindled between Jack and Kate when they trek into the jungle to propose a "trade" with "The Others"; and Locke begins to question his faith in the island.

I took this snippet from an eonline article:


With the Lost castaways already taken care of for next season, now it's time for the Others.

And we ain't talking Creepy Beard Guy or the faux Henry Gale.

Two months after locking up deals to keep the remaining survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 on the island for another year, Touchstone Television is making sure executive producers and showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse will be along for the ride as well.

Lindelof, who created the series with J.J. Abrams, and Cuse have signed seven-figure deals, according to the Hollywood Reporter, ensuring that Jack, Locke, Sawyer, Kate, the professor, Mary Ann...wait a second...Anyway, ensuring that the characters will have plenty of hatches to explore, Others to avoid and flashbacks to flash back to during the 2006-07 season.

Lindelof and Cuse are regarded as the brain trust that keeps the series' epic plot twists and stop-or-you-might-miss-'em little details coming.

And anyone who is creative enough to pen an episode entitled "?"--that's right, just "?"--should be well-compensated. (That punctuation mark lends itself to the upcoming episode 21, by the way, and, FYI, it refers to the symbol Locke remembers from the map discovered on the hatch door during last week's episode. Got it?)

"We feel that this batch of currently running episodes, through 19, is kind of the calm before the storm," Lindelof told E! Online TV columnist Kristin Veitch. "And then episodes 20 through 24, those final five hours of the show, we're all overwhelmingly excited about because there is a lot of incident and action and mystery revelation coming down the pike. We're really, really jazzed about that final pot of episodes."

Calm before the storm? When has this show ever been calm?

As Charlie once said - guys, where are we? Or did he say - guys, where the heck are we?

I'm psyched and in no way, is my Lost interest diminishing.....

I saw Naveen Andrews Last night on "The Ten Commandments", it was kind of weird seeing him in something else. He is a pretty good actor in my opinion. Thanks for that article Mary!! Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow night, it looks interesting.

Lost[New]

9 pm/ET, ABC
The idea that this whole thing is in Hurley's head is a little unsettling. But in the end, so what? Somebody has to think it up, and tonight, thoughts turn to Bernard and Rose (Sam Anderson and L. Scott Caldwell), our backstory stars. What that backstory is remains to be seen, but on the island they're disagreeing over Bernard's idea to devise an SOS signal. In other couples' news, Kate and Jack could become one again as they venture into the jungle together to do some horse-trading with the Others. — Paul Droesc

Which Lost mystery do you want solved already?

How did Locke get paralyzed?
Why are there polars bears in the South Pacific?

More TV Guide Lost mentions......say it isn't so, are they going to recast a character? I hope not!

Ask Ausiello column

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Ausiello/AskAusiello/

Question: Any news about Walt or Michael on Lost? — Gaz
Ausiello: Yes, big news. Michael will be getting a flashback episode on May 17, during which we'll learn what, um, Others stuff he's been up to these last couple of months. Whatever it is he's been doing, I understand we'll meet a very different Michael than the one we left. Walt will also be back, and yes, he'll still be played by Malcolm David Kelley, who is probably something like 24 now.


Question: Can you tell me when Kate and Sawyer will hook up on Lost? — Amy
Ausiello: I thought we might see some action between them in May, but now it looks like this season's final episodes will focus on Kate and Jack's journey to first base. I'm also hearing that the aforementioned May 17 episode contains a great scene between Jack and Sawyer. Even better than the poker stuff.


Question: Will any main characters die on Lost before the season is over? — Paul
Ausiello: No comment.


Question: Was Rose in a wheelchair, too? Is that what she has in common with Locke? — Jammer
Ausiello: Nope. The truth will be revealed tonight!


Question: Could Locke's con-man Poppa perhaps once gone by the alias "Sawyer?" — Bobby Nash
Ausiello: I suppose anything's possible (he says with a sheepish grin.)


Question: Was Rose born with no arms and no legs? And when the plane crashed on the island she then sprouted them? Could that be what she has in common with Locke? — Dan
Ausiello: I probably don't say this enough, but I seriously love you guys.

Yeah buddy :D msnbc.com

Counting down secrets of the ‘Lost’ hatch
Is all that number-typing and button-pushing for nothing?

On the most recent "Lost" episode, the hatch prisoner who calls himself Henry Gale made a shocking revelation to Locke. While Locke was trapped by the mysterious blast doors, Gale stood at the computer while the timer counted down, but instead of typing in Hurley's mysterious numbers, Gale claimed he just stood by.

"The timer went all the way down to zero and then some funny red pictures flipped up," Gale told a shocked Locke. "And then things got real interesting." Gale claimed that, after some loud clunking noises and a hum "like a magnet," the timer simply started its 108-minute countdown again. "I never entered the numbers, I never pressed the button," the possible Other said.

If that's true, John Locke's world has just been rocked. The intense castaway was begging to get into the hatch even before he had an idea of what was inside. Once there, he was so enthused by the dry Dharma initiation film that he immediately said, "We're gonna have to watch this again." When Eko showed up with an additional bit of the film, even though it was just a tiny addition which merely warned against inappropriate computer use, Locke was fascinated. So to hear that all his careful staffing of the hatch and leaping to enter the numbers on time might be for nothing had to be shattering.

Of course, Henry Gale has been known to tell a lie, or a hundred. Add 'em up, stating with the fact that his name isn't really Henry Gale — he stole that off a Minnesota driver license from a man he presumably murdered. And he didn't really sail onto the island in a hot-air balloon — that, too, was the real Henry Gale's transportation. ("Wizard of Oz" fans recognize both the name and the balloon, of course, but on an island where no one's commented on the fact that Locke and Rousseau both have the names of famous philosophers, no one's going there.) His wife didn't really die and he didn't really dig her grave — again, that was Real Henry who was buried.

If the false Henry Gale is lying about the timer, then he likely wants Locke and crew to ignore it when it counts down, meaning he knows what will happen. If it's as deadly as some believe — a nuclear explosion, release of a bioweapon, or something else that would destroy the island or the hatch — Gale likely would also die in the resulting chaos. If he's telling the truth, then perhaps the hatch's timer is just another version of the Milgram Experiment, the famous Yale test in which people thought they were giving powerful electrical shocks to others. There were no shocks, the "victims" were uninjured actors, but that didn't make it any less convincing to the participants. (Unless, of course, the promised “incident” rumbles softly but carries a big stick.)

But more importantly, if he's telling the truth, how much of the rest of the island is also false? Are all the castaways just rats in a giant maze, being observed and pushed through pointless exercises by godlike researchers?

Arrr! Is sea captain Gerald DeGroot?
That, after all, has been a dominant theory about the island and the Swan station, reinforced by the Dharma film's hippy-dippy ramblings about Gerald and Karen DeGroot's efforts to build "a large-scale communal research compound" to study, among other things, psychology and parapsychology. The DeGroots (at least in their University of Michigan grad-student incarnations) seem like just the types who would dream up some wacky behavioral experiment to be administered to unwitting subjects for $5 and all the orange Tang you could drink.

Presuming that the bearded sea captain who kidnapped Walt is in fact Gerald DeGroot, the stakes might be a bit higher, but the skeptics among the castaways — Jack, in particular — have good reason to find the whole setup inside the hatch contrived, including those bizarro hieroglyphics which everyone seems to be translating as related to death. Such hijinks probably are too subtle for anyone but screen-capture junkies (and certainly beyond the realm of the castaways, unless Sayid or Hurley suddenly reveal a doctorate in Egyptology) to appreciate, but they do contribute to the mystery.

And what about the mysterious signs claiming QUARANTINE? Desmond says his onetime hatch partner, Kelvin, died; was his death due to the same "sickness" that Rousseau claimed killed most of her crew? We know from Claire's recent flashback episode that the island did boast a sizable medical facility. So is there really a sickness, a bioweapon controlled by the Dharma crew? If so, where's the evidence?

Leaving aside the mysteries of the Swan station and its contents — the shower and washing machine, the somewhat musty record collection, the way-symbolic book selections and those rather real blast doors — there's also the matter of the other stations on the island.

Aside from the one station used by the Tailies as a shelter (the Arrow), the existence of the rest was merely speculative until the recent episode in which Claire, Kate and Rousseau found the very real Staff station, marked by a Dharmized caduceus.

If the orientation film is to be believed (the real one, not ingenious but presumably fake knock-offs like this or this) there are a total of six stations on the island. Viewers now know about three, though aside from the Staff (which putatively has a medical function, enough to have kept Claire hostage while baby Aaron was in utero) the true purpose of the rest, and their locations, remain a puzzle.

Which brings us to the recent map we saw flashed upon the screen (and reprinted in Entertainment Weekly) which marked the Staff, Arrow and Swan, plus a fourth station — the Flame — and possible locations for at least two more. The map not only sets up a curious octagonal layout for the island (real? symbolic?) but its notations open about a thousand curious doors. At least one Candle-style “incident” is described from 1985 involving “AH/MDG.” We'll lay even money that Alvar Hanso is AH; MDG could be the mysterious “Magnus” mentioned on the map, or maybe a DeGroot, or maybe they're one and the same.

Other scribblings refer to shutdowns of the “Dharmatel Intranet” and puzzling “sightings” that are “minimal during lockdown and restocking procedures.” Which could mean just about anything: sightings of Smokey the black fog monster? Restocking of all that Dharma ranch dressing and Apollo bars that keep Hurley from a crash diet?

The farther you dive into the Dharma/hatch puzzle, the more you come back to the original two possibilities: Either this was a utopian science commune gone horribly awry, probably thanks to scientists messing with stuff they couldn't control (like the “gene therapy and extreme climate change” that acclimates polar bears to the South Pacific) or the DeGroots are running a mind game of Dungeons & Dragons-like proportions. Make that Advanced D&D.

Okay that's a thought provoking article you posted sunny! I'm half way thru and have a killer headache working on me. I'll re-read it.......

I love these Lost articles we dig up!

I edited my DVR timer already. I still haven't seen the image of Libby, as a brunette and shaking, crazyily in the sanitarium. Our DVR timer ran out......

That was a pretty good episode. Pretty much confirmed what I thought about people being cured of what ails them. So Michael is found and he knows where they are huh? I agree Fly I gotta watch that one again also.

Nathan - I must admit I did a double take there......who are you and what did you with Nathan? Are you an other? LOL

Spoilers....don't read if you haven't watched.

So......have we all had time to watch it? So much happened. We saw Charlie, Claire, Eko, Sun, Jin, for starters. I've missed Claire and Aaron. Hurley and Libby are still chummy. Not sure how I feel about that but she seems pretty darn sane on the island. Eko is building a church and we saw that one coming, didn't we? But once again, I'm amazed Jin can only whip out an occasional yes, no, sorry. Not much more. Come on Sun - is your baby going to speak Korean or English? You'll be teaching a baby to talk, why not Jin too? Wait, that's right, time moves so slowly on Lost, it will be a long time before their baby is even A. Born and B. saying words!

Jack and Kate - what a treat! Loved their scenes together, even when he said why he asked her to come. And Sayid was his first choice.....oh well. Noticed he was missing tonight, guess he had to leave Hawaii to film the Ten Commandments? ;-)

Henry is an Other, I know it now. The man is creepy. "They'll never give you Walt." What does he know that he's not telling?

Rose.....that was a real shock, did not see that one coming at all. The church Eko is building, sure. But not Rose. Her connection with Locke makes me want to go back and see early episodes, with Locke walking. Or when someone points out a wheelchair was on the plane, wonder who it belongs to. Rose wasn't on much the first season so I guess it would be pointless to go back and see her reaction. Still, this is what Lost does to me - makes me question everything!

And finally, we knew that was Michael, just by his voice. If it wasn't going to be him, I would have been upset.

And oh yeah, nice to see Vincent again. Did anyone think it was a different dog - leaner, cleaner? Or maybe a younger yellow lab? I'm sure they have several dogs as they have several babies that play Aaron.
