LOST Season 4 *Spoilers Abound!*

[Battle Franky]

Spoiler:

- Season 4 Premiere is NOT Sawyers as has been mentioned but is in fact Hurley's unless they are shooting out of sequence.

EEK!

Spoiler:

Kind of hoping that's not true. I like my Hurley flashbacks (or forwards) slightly rare and mid-season, waiter!

[Ganner_Rhysode]

Hey, here're some casting-news (even if they are a little bit kinda late):


Ken Leung (Rush Hour 2) was casted for a role of a kinda re-occuring genius-mathematician.
For me, it's great news mainly because I've been CRAVING for a mathematician to come up in Lost, since season 1.
So, there comes up an interesting character... I wonder how he will fit in the whole plot, and stuff.

Also to add to the new-cast-list is Jeff Fahey (The Lawnmower Man).
Interestingly nothing's known yet of his character-to-be, but one thing:
For the whole bunch of producer's, there was no one else, who would fit better for this particular char, than Fahey. So NOW I'm totally curious 'bout this whole thing, and the new (many, to be said) characters-to-come-up.

ZOMG surprise podcast!

http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/200...t-podcast.html
It's been 3 years since the crash of flight 815. Let us listen to this podcast so that we may remember the survivors.

Okay, we have some info from Damon and Carl after answering some fan questions.

Spoiler:

Mihkail is dead for good, though he might appear in flashbacks.

Sawyer might've really gotten Kate pregnant

There were bigger plans for Nikki and Paulo. But, they would take away screen time from the other characters.

[Tizoc]

Argggh I'm such a fucking sucker for spoilers XD.

Spoiler:

As a person who likes math, but never saw Numb3rs, I hope this new guy will be interesting. Also seeing as he deals with numbers, I have a nunch he will be connected to Hurley in some way.
Sawyer got Kate PREGNANT?!!? WHEN THE F&^% DID THAT HAPPEN?!?

[Gorlom]

hmmm i never got lost.

can someone please summerize why it is fun to watch? i mean what is so great about beeing jerked around by writers smokeing pot and unable to tie up loose ends? does people that like Lost also like Twin peaks when that was airing?

(im not trying to bash anyones opinion on Lost i just dont get what is so great about it. and no, im not going to watch it to judge for myself... already tried that once)

[stephen]

Some people like involved mysteries.

Also, now that they have struck a deal that includes a definitive ending date for the show, they can start answering all the "loose ends they are unable to tie up" because having to continually think up new material to fulfill a never-ending contract is no longer a concern.

...now giiiiiit the fuck outta this thread, non-watcher.

HAHA HA, oh wow, this is definitley one of the worst analogies I've ever read.

Man, those two have such a great rapport. Though, I really hate listener feedback, mainly stemming for the Jay & Jack podcast, where every second caller sounds like a hillbilly mouth breather. Podcast seemed sort of wasted, but still good to hear from them again.

Hope Nestor's new show tanks, I want to see more of Mr. Alpert.

involved? as in complex?

im wondering if people are going to start to lose interest once they stop makeing new shit up and start tieing things up then. oh well. i wont bother you any more stephen. (was hopeing for a more elaborate answer then "people like complex mysteries" though)


WeAllEatFood: that wasn't an analogy, it was an assessment.

Please forgive me, Your Grace, for I am just a lowly, uneducated serf. :(

[Battle Franky]

Yeh, it does require a bit of concentration, some patience, and dare I say, intelligence. You won't simply be spoon fed season long mysteries and major plot points in one episode, like a bubbling baby. Y'know, it wouldn't be much of a show if they did, would it?

im wondering if people are going to start to lose interest once they stop makeing new shit up and start tieing things up then. oh well.

Eh? They've tied up a large amount of mysteries spanning over the last two seasons, most in a very satisfying manner. (No, we don't know what the Monster is yet, or the origin of the four toed statue... liek ZoMG! Damn those ganja toking hacks and their gaping plot holes)

(was hopeing for a more elaborate answer then "people like complex mysteries" though)

Why bother elaborating? You seem to have made up your mind already. -_-;

that wasn't an analogy, it was an assessment.

An assessment based off what? A handful of episodes from season 1, 2... 3?

[WeAllEatFood]

Thats what Heroes is for. (This coming from a fan of it.)

im not much for tv in general so i would apriociate it if you did not insinuate anything about my intelligence simply based on how long time i would spend trying to follow a series. i rarely dedicate myself to a series since missing one episode of something im following ticks me off.
downloading any series is not an option i would consider either.
i do however like stimulateing media, lost just never catched my interest for various reasons.

im sorry if i came off as anything but openminded. i did not acctually come here to bash lost but get some points as to why the series that to me seemed to be made by people smokeing pot was so praised by some.

Eh? They've tied up a large amount of mysteries spanning over the last two seasons, most in a very satisfying manner. (No, we don't know what the Monster is yet, or the origin of the four toed statue... liek ZoMG! Damn those ganja toking hacks and their gaping plot holes)

sorry the hand full of episodes i watched seemed rather flimsy and explaned things with magic... those numbers that caused massive bad luck for anyone that used them and whatever the connection between the polar bear and the boys comic just ticked me off.

Why bother elaborating? You seem to have made up your mind already. -_-;

again i apologize, i was trying to understand while explaining what would possibly be my missconceptions but i can understand why everyone has becoem so defensive looking back.

An assessment based off what? A handful of episodes from season 1, 2... 3?

yes, forgot how long i foloowed it but probobly most of season 1... and possibly partly season 2. i saw parts of 2 episodes with the inside of the hatch. which ever season that is.
and also some various other sources which referenced to lost. (but useing that to assess anything is admittedly a bad idea =P)

Thats what Heroes is for. (This coming from a fan of it.)

Once Sylar was introduced in the concept i kinda lost interest of heroes. thought it had so much promise without giveing evil a face and a name(although i never saw his face.. so hes a faceless face)...

I liked Daybreak but that was dropped after only 6 episodes.

[WeAllEatFood]

Well, Gorlom, maybe TV now days just isn't for you.

[Battle Franky]

i rarely dedicate myself to a series since missing one episode of something im following ticks me off.

Well, therein lies the problem, right there. LOST is a long term investment, plain and simple. It's an investment you have to make in the characters, in the mysteries, the mythology, and in the island itself, for you to take anything of meaning away from the show each week.

Take for example, the seasons branching Locke, Sawyer & Cooper story all coming to fruition in the Brig at the end of season 3. Which was ultimately very satisfying for fans, who've stuck with the show for so long, 'cause it was all interwoven together perfectly and resolved the two biggest plont points, of two the most important survivors, all in one fell swoop.

That's just one example of many, why you have to be invested in this show for these types of moments to have any real meaning or weight. If you're way too casual, it'll mostly be LOST on you.

sorry the hand full of episodes i watched seemed rather flimsy and explaned things with magic... those numbers that caused massive bad luck for anyone that used them

The numbers have been fleshed out little more, though mostly in the LOST experience, they are part of some sort of doomsday equation, a mathematical prediction of when the end of the world will most likely occur. The work on the island, and mainly of the Dharma Initiative we are led to believe was to change the core value of the numbers through their studies of the island, to avoid catastrophe, or so says Dr. Candle in the Swan orientation.

(Crystal clear, I know)

and whatever the connection between the polar bear and the boys comic just ticked me off.

It's kind of tied into Walt's ability to visualize something in his minds eye and have it appear or manifest itself to him (though it's only touched on very lightly in season 1 & 2) No doubt the writers will get a chance to expand on this, with the real Walt returning this season (Not just the Cerberus Walt)

yes, forgot how long i foloowed it but probobly most of season 1... and possibly partly season 2. i saw parts of 2 episodes with the inside of the hatch. which ever season that is.
and also some various other sources which referenced to lost. (but useing that to assess anything is admittedly a bad idea =P)

Again, if you are too casual with the show, then it'd probably would seem very frustrating, and like some never ending Matryoshka doll of mystery that goes nowhere.

I liked Daybreak but that was dropped after only 6 episodes.

It was a cool premise (Groundhog Day meets Die Hard) and Taye Diggs is a cool cat. ABC shouldn't have pulled the plug so early, and let shit Lost-alikes like the Nine fester on US TV screens.

[Gorlom]

thanks that was a more satisfying response ^^

(didnt they cancel Daybreak because of the low rateings? or did you mean they should have kept the show despite the rateings?)

[luffy_versus_lucci]

I simply cannot wait for Lost to be back. I did hear that Libby's story will FINALLY be told. I am definetely excited for it's return.

[Battle Franky]

(didnt they cancel Daybreak because of the low rateings? or did you mean they should have kept the show despite the rateings?)

Yeh, the ratings were not good. It had the hard task of holding down the fort, while LOST took that infamous season 3 break. I think they dumped it a week or two weeks before it came back.

or so says Dr. Candle in the Swan orientation.

Oops! I was thinking of Oliver Hanso from the Sri Lanka orientation.

Spoiler:

Defend the Island, or die!

Spoiler:

Like we could see in that teaser the things that were shown, were almost always our Losties preparing guns, and in the end, there are the infamous lottery-numbers.
So, this new "evil", which was being talked about... What do you think? Are they, those Naomi-guys, from which Ben warned Jack and the other Losties in the end? We'll get to know this whole stuff in the new season, I suppose.
But hell, was that a surprise to fetch up that teaser...

Wasn't shown on ABC. It's just a promo using stock footage of previous seasons, that a guy shot at the Disney's MGM Studios. (I read DarkUFO religiously, so I kind of saw it already)
