There are only 8 more episodes to go this season, so I thought I’d do a roundup of the latest spoiler info surrounding the rest of this season of Lost. This info is nothing too drastic, just letting you know what you have to look forward to over the next 2 months. So if you would like to see please look behind the curtain.

Left Behind 4/4 (Kate)
Tonight’s episode is Kate centric. From the promos it looks like a cat fight between Kate and Juliet, oh the drama! Jack returns to the survivor’s camp.

One of Us 4/11 (Juliet)
This Juliet centric episode will reveal how Juliet came to the island and became an other.

Catch-22 4/18 (Desmond)
Flashbacks follow Desmond’s time in the British Army. Seeing Jack alone with Juliet turns Kate toward Sawyer once again. New female character appears on the island (not an other, not a survivor).

D.O.C. 4/25 (Sun and Jin)
Sun and Jin are newlyweds in their flashbacks. Sun learns what being pregnant on the island is really like (she could have asked Claire). What could D.O.C. stand for?

The Brig 5/2 (Jack)
Not sure what Jack’s flashbacks will be about but this is the episode where John Locke and his father face off.

The Man Behind the Curtain 5/9 (Gerald and Karen DeGroot)
I am very excited about this episode! We will finally see the back-stories of these two mysterious characters from various Dharma orientation films. Apparently they also go by the names Horace and Olivia, flashbacks will be set in the 70’s. Look at that title, another reference to The Wizard of Oz.

Greatest Hits 5/16 (Charlie)
“Charlie’s fate will be decided.” Will he die?

Untitled (Season 3 Finale) 5/23 (Ben)
Featuring flashbacks accounting the life of Benjamin Linus aka Henry Gale! Hurley will be playing a big part in this episode.

So there you have it! Looks like there is a lot to look forward to. What do you think?

Recently I’ve been trying to stay away from spoilers because they ended up ruining the fun parts of the episodes for me, but unfortunately I experienced a moment of weakness and inadvertently watched a clip from the upcoming episode and oh boy it was freaking cool! If you want to know more about this upcoming episode enter 77.

Ok, so those of you who gave into the pressure, Expose follows the story of the attractive Nickki and the annoying Paulo. The flashbacks will feature who they are, their experience on the island, and why they’ve seem to have appeared out of nowhere. Now if you want to be really spoiled look at this crazy clip (via The Tail Section):

(It’s obviously missing the music and some sound effects tracks, should be less awkward when they’re added.)

A new official Lost podcast was just released by ABC. It’s another fun half hour filled with crazy banjo ramblings, an interview with Henry Ian Cusack and some info on the upcoming episodes. The podcast is available on the ABC website, but for those who don’t want to listen to the entire podcast I wrote down some stuff that sounded the most important to me.

- First Damon and Carlton clarified a few things about the last episode ‘Flashes Before Your Eyes’. The experience Desmond had obviously was not a normal flashback, but what he experienced after he turned the key. It really happened and he could use his future memories to make a different choice. Also they stated that the ‘flashback’ took place in 1996.

- Another thing about that episode was when Mrs. Hawkings said that everyone would die. According to Damon and Carlton, with everyone she meant everyone on the world, not just ‘her people’ or The Others or something like it.

- Carlton is a great banjo player. Really..

- Then they told about some things to come. First about the upcoming episode ‘A Stranger in a Strange Land’. In the promo’s it’s announced that three huge mysteries are being solved. Damon and Carlton however said that it’s a promo-stunt, and it really is about one huge mystery, the background on Jack’s tattoos. They also said that we would see Cindy and some other Tailies (teddybear-kid) again.

- Finally they said Rousseau won’t get her flashback until the fourth season. Rousseau knows a lot about the island, and that information would be very useful to the Losties. They think she’s crazy, so they won’t approach her about information soon. Carlton and Damon also hinted at a crossover, where Rousseau would appear in some other person’s flashback, probably during her sixteen years on the island. Maybe Ben’s?

First of all, that episode was amazing. We will have a recap entry a little bit later on after we had some time to absorb it all. But the matter I need to discuss involves that mysterious oracle-like lady Desmond encountered when looking for an engagement ring, I will call her Mrs. Oracle.

The big question in my mind is… “Is Jack’s tattoo inquirer (from next week’s promo and Lost Moment 13) the same as Desmond’s Mrs. Oracle?” Look at the pictures and tell me what you think. If it is the same person this opens up a whole new can of worms that I will not get into right now. The episode blew my mind enough! Is she real, smoke-monster, sub-conscious manifestation, Karen DeGroote, gah! Lets figure out if it’s the same person first, discuss in the comments.

The wait is almost over so lets take a look at what we can expect from the next new episode of Lost before the Taktometer flips to zero. “Not in Portland” is the seventh episode of the third season of Lost and is the first new episode to air since Lost began its three-month hiatus in November of 2006. Now on to the spoilers. If you don’t like spoilers, stop reading now.

If you’ve been keeping up with the Lost Moments that have been airing on ABC every week, then you’ve already seen a bunch of spoilerific scenes from not only this episode, but several of the new batch of episodes. If you haven’t seen these Lost Moments a quick search on YouTube will bring them all instantly to your screen.

“Not in Portland” is a Juliet centric episode in which we will learn a lot about this sexy new character. We will learn how she ended up on the island, who brought her there, how long she’s been there, and much more. On the island side of things we will have many revelations as well. We will learn some more about the others and their relationships with the children they have kidnapped. We will also get a look at a chilling video Karl is forced to watch. The video stresses mankind’s negative impact on earth and is rather propagandaish. You’ll want to tivo this part for sure. We will see some sort of a conclusion over at the hydra station pertaining to Kate and Sawyer’s escape and what happens with Jack, Juliet, Ben, and the rest of those others. Ben is not going to die, hence Jack will complete the surgery.

A few more rumors: Juliet makes a male mouse pregnant, a bus hits someone, Alex knows Ben as Dad, Juliet gets a job – but it’s not in Portland, and it is likely Juliet arrived on the island on or close to September 11, 2001 (3 years, 2 months and 23 days ago) if the 9-11 thing is true that would make the current island date December 4, 2004.

So there’s our spoilerific preview of next week’s episode. If you have any thoughts or if you have some other tidbits from the upcoming episode please submit your comments below!

Their podcast feed is now working so you can download it that way. It is also available for your viewing pleasure directly below. Enjoy!

In the meantime, however, I think its appropriate to theorize. The following theory, a favorite of mine is based on minor (certainly not major) spoilers. I did not think of it entirely on my own, but it wasn’t until after I had filled in some holes that I read other people thinking it as well. Spoilers for the upcoming part of season 3 state that;

a). We will be reminded that only a few months have passed.

b). Global events will tie in with something on the island.

The theory is that the implosion of the hatch causes the 2004 Tsunami that devestated the world in December of that year. The time line appears to line up pretty well, it meets the criteria of the spoilers and a magnetic incident this major could cause such a thing. Many have stated it would be too bold for the writers to “fictionalize” the catastrophe of the 2004 Tsunami, but I quite like the theory. The story of LOST has included real life events such as the Red Sox winning the World Series and to ignore an event like the Tsunami (which would likely effect the island) would be a little out of place too me. I’d be suprised if we did not see some sort of ripple effect from the Tsunami on our LOSTies. I think its clear that the implosion of the hatch will most likely be responsible for causing the global connection in the show, and I can’t think of anything else that happened in December of 2004 or anything else which I, as a viewer, would really buy. I look forward to seeing what route they take, and, if these spoilers have any truth to them (which I predict they do). Can’t wait too see how this pans out.

How do you guys feel about this theory? What are your favorite theories for the upcoming part of the season?

It looks like next weeks episode is going to be pretty freaky. Check out this link for the US and Canadian promos. If you don’t like spoilers don’t check it out.

The thoughts expressed in this entry are highly spoilerific, they are based on the online Lost Experience. The information that has been coming out (mainly in the Sri-Lanka Video I mentioned a few posts back) I find to be answering some of the deepest questions we have about LOST. To continue reading highlight the hidden text below.

This video contains another orientation video, which seems to have been intended for some of the more important members of the Dharma Initiative, not like the the orientations videos for the guinea pigs.

The point is this: I feel confident that this is the answer to the question of “What is the Dharma Intiative?” Watch the video I’ve put together in this post and tell me if you agree.

The producers wouldn’t tell us what the icon on the hatch will be, but hinted in their podcast that it would not be a “?”

Essentialy, Locke and Eko will be finding out what exactly the question mark on that map is, and filling in the blank spot of the original map drawing.

Our video pocast should be up sometime today before the episode. It recaps last weeks episode, the Lost Experience, and Bad Twin, by Gary Troup. So check the podcast page a little later today.

We plan to have a page for the LOST Experience organizing all the hints after this weeks episode. Sorry for the lack of updates, Stephen and I have been busy with finals, but our video podcast will surely entertain you.

Aloha! We look forward to updating after this episode! Check back in the afternoon for the podcast and tonight for our thoughts. Comments and questions, as always, to mail@lost4815162342.com

The Canadian version is much more interesting!

Jack’s dad in Ana-Lucia’s flashback?
Ana-Lucia and Sawyer kissing?

Oh my! See it here for yourself: Two for the Road, Canada

“Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros have officially left the show. There was some speculation that Cynthia left because she got another job, that is not true. She started looking for work because her contract is not going to be renewed. For Rodriguez, the circumstances are the same: forces in the ABC heirachy told LOST producers to can them based on the ongoing bad press.

Harold Perineau is also apparently leaving the show after contract negotiations broke apart several months back. His people are upset over mega bonuses being offerred to what is considered “key” cast members.” – Tail Section

Legit?

Who knows, but it certainly looks real.

We won’t expose the spoilers it reveals right here on the main page , just in case you don’t want to be spoiled, but see the call sheet for yourself here. Read all the details for the shots, stunning information if it is true.

(We’ve put these off the main page as these spoilers, if true, are major. We have highlighted the information in it that is most important.

Authentic LOST Call Sheet?

Let’s not count out the possibility this is a fake, or a red herring left by the producers of LOST to throw us off. Only time will tell.

(click above photo to see whole picture of balloon)

The synopsis for “Two for the Road,” tells us that “Jack and Kate bring an exhausted Michael back to the camp, and with him, news about “The Others.” Meanwhile, Ana Lucia attempts to get the prisoner to confess, and Hurley plans a surprise date for Libby.”

In promos for “S.O.S.” we see someone with a torch, whom we are assuming is Michael, returning from his trek in the jungle. A promotional photo from “S.O.S.” shows Jack and Kate startled by something or someone and we are assuming this is also Michael.

I predict that Michael will show up at the end of the episode much in the way that Claire returned in season 1; right at the episodes conclusion leaving us wanting answers to where he has been.

With Michael, we may also see more Vincent (people have been asking where he is).

Stay tuned for our reactions to Wednesday’s episodes. Visit the podcast page and tell us what you think.

Question: You said that last week’s episode of Lost would reveal a surprising link between Locke and Sawyer. What happened?
Ausiello: A line of dialogue was excised to make the link more subtle. But trust me – it’s there.

Question: Somehow, I don’t think that it is a coincidence that Locke’s father was a con man just like Sawyer. – David
Ausiello: See, I told you it was there.

There is a lot of speculation amongst people that Cooper is Sawyer (the original). I don’t know if this is true, althought it is certainly a possibility. If this is true, then it is quite interesting.

Not much is known about Rose and Bernards back story and not many clues were provided by the promotional photographs on ABCMediaNet. There are rumors that Ana Lucia will apear in their flashbacks, but this cannot be confirmed, nor denied.

I highly doubt the flashback will be the most interesting part of this episode (see the previews, below, for yourself) but I’ve been wrong before.

Prepare yourself for more interrogation, a possible prisoner exchange (Walt for Gale), Locke attempting to redraw the map (He’d be better off looking at the interactive version), and for Jack and Kate venturing back out to the line they were told never to cross. A booby trap captures someone (looks like Jack and Kate) in a net and we see a glimpse of a doll. More island mythology and mystery awaits us on this weeks episode of LOST.

Here is a little dialoge from tomorrow’s episode:

Faux-Gale – You don’t understand.
Sayid – How did you know his wife’s name, did you interrogate him?
Faux-Gale – Please just listen, I’m just a…
Sayid – How many of you are there?
Faux-Gale – If I told you about them you have no idea what he’ll do.
Sayid – He?
Ana Lucia – You mean their leader? The guy with the beard.
Faux-Gale – Him? He’s no one. Nothing!
Sayid – Where are your people?
Faux-Gale – I can’t..
Sayid – How many of you are there?
Faux-Gale – You don’t understand.
Sayid – Understand? Understand this. (Pulls out gun and points it at Faux-Henry)
Ana Lucia – Hey!
Sayid – You have three seconds to answer my question, how many of you are there?
Sayid – 1.
Faux-Gale – He’ll kill me.
Sayid – I’ll kill you. (cock’s gun)
Sayid – 2.
Ana Lucia – Sayid.
Faux-Gale – You can’t do this. I am not a bad person.
Sayid – 3…

So first of all, our suspicions about Faux-Gale have been confirmed. He is in fact one of them, an “other”. And secondly, Who is “He”: this tempermental leader of the others.

Want to watch this clip and a few more, there available on aol. Click here to see them.

Its official description is as follows; Libby lends Hurley support when he begins to think the island is having a strange effect on him, and Locke’s sense of purpose is shaken when the prisoner provides new information about the hatch.

First of all, a lot of our questions should be answered here. The “new information” from the prisoner should be interesting. What does Faux-Gale have to say? What does he know about the hatch, why they’re hitting the button, and why those blast doors came down? I can’t wait to find out.

Some photos leaked out on the web a few weeks ago (thanks to this site where I found them) from this upcoming episode. They provide a lot of hints to what will occur in the episode.

We’ve already shown you this picture… but here it is again. Libby was a patient in the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute.

So maybe Hurley never stepped on Libby’s foot on the plane and he recognizes her from elsewhere. But is anyone else concerned that the psychiatrist is a nut her self?

The next picture is important.

See that? That’s Hurley and his imaginary friend, Dave.

And see the photographer? He has photographic evidence that Hurley thinks he has an imaginary friend. Only Hurley is in that photographic.

Is he schizophrenic?

I can’t wait to see! Hurley episodes are always pretty fun and this one looks promising. Naturally these predictions could be incorrect, but this appears to be the truth.

We have just released a podcast. Please visit the podcast page to learn more.

For some reason I am always bored and annoyed by Sun and Jin’s flashbacks. Maybe it has to do with reading the subtitles, that makes me do more work than I’d really like to. I guess people who speak Korean can enjoy it, but I don’t. Maybe I don’t like their flashbacks because I don’t find them terribly interesting. I feel that their stories seem to drag or come to unfulfilling conclusions. They usually provide some information about their relationship with each other, something I’m not all that concerned with, I’d rather hear more about Locke, or how Hurley is connected to the Dharma Initiative through the numbers, ya know, something interesting towards the overall plot of the show, we’ve had enough character development and relationship development for Sun and Jin, it’s not that interesting, Lost isn’t really about that, I don’t see how this relationship could be building the foundation for more connections in the future so just stop it, they’re just cheap fillers. You can disagree, but I simply don’t like Sun and Jin episodes. So that’s one reason I’m not looking forward to this episode.

Second reason is Ana Lucia, She’s going to take charge to get info from Henry Gale. I like getting info and hope we get some but I don’t like Ana Lucia and seeing her is not a pleasant viewing experience for me after I’ve seen how much of a bitch she has been, not to mention being a murderer on multiple occasions which doesn’t seem to bother her.

I am looking forward to seeing what happens with Henry Gale, some pictures have surfaced of a balloon that can be seen in a previous entry in this blog. I’m going to go ahead and make the prediction that Henry Gale is not an other, and they just made him seem like one to get us worked up.

In terms of the Sun Jin thing: So maybe Sun finds out she’s pregnant in this episode, I guess that would tie in if the others steal the baby but it still sounds boring to me. What I’d really like is what my good friend Rob has already predicted, that Hurley is the baby’s daddy. That would definitely be an interesting twist. Though the time of conception of this child, if there is one, would be a hard thing to figure out. How soon after conception would someone start feeling the changes to their body? Was there enough time since the reunion of Sun and Jin to start feeling changes? Maybe when Michael saw Sun naked back in season one, they subsequently threw down and made a baby, we just never saw it happen. Who knows and who cares, pregnant, not pregnant, others steal it, whatever, it’s all happened before.

I hope that I am wrong and this episode turns out better than I expect it to, but still, my expectations will remain low until proven wrong.

This image surfaced on the internet and it’s bound to bring about a real “WTF?” moment in most people.

Once again, no clue if it’s legit or anything, and ABC loves to mess with our heads, but take this picture home with you and chew on it.

This is a promotional picture from the upcoming episode, taken from Lost-Media.

What are Charlie and Sayid building? Does this have anything to do with all of the wood that Mr. Eko is chopping? It surely can’t be another raft. It wouldn’t make sense for Charlie and Sayid to build a raft when they will be off to find Henry Gale’s balloon. Only time will tell!

I cannot verify if this is a legitamate picture, althought it appears to be, and the original poster did not reference a source.

If it is a real picture and this is in episode 17 (as the original poster said it would be), is Henry Gale still one of them?

Are the Others covering their asses to the extent of planting baloons in the jungle in case one of them is captured? Who knows?
