4 8 15 16 23 42 - Official Lost Season 3 Thread


WARNING - Spoilers and Speculation Allowed

Lost is returning to ABC’s Wednesday night line on October 4th (9pm)

Again, they’re messing with us with their idiotic (IMHO) scheduling. But instead of a 1 week on, 1 week off, we’ll get 6 episodes, followed by a 12 week break. It will then come back in February for 17 straight episodes.

Returning Characters:

Losties
Sayid Jarrah
Claire Littleton (and Aaron, the "baaabby")
Hugo "Hurley" Reyes
Dr. Jack Shephard
James "Sawyer" Ford
Jin Kwon
Sun Kwon
Kate Austen
Charlie Pace
John Locke
Walt Lloyd
Mr. Eko
Michael Dawson
Rose
Bernard

The Others
Henry Gale/The Other formerly known as Henry Gale
Ethan Rom
Tom/Mr. Friendly/Zeke
Pickett
Alex Rousseau
Bea Klugh
He/Him

Newbies - Actors joining the show (Character names to be added when known):
Rodrigo Santoro - recurring character (double swoon). Allegedly, he plays a survivor from the plane who has been on the island this whole time
Elizabeth Mitchell - contracted to be a regular
Kiele Sanchez - recurring character. Rodrigo's love interest

I know I’m missing some characters, especially the Losties, but that’s probably because they aren’t very memorable.

- Look for Desmond (swoon) to become a regular this season and for Ethan to make a few appearances (obviously more Island flashbacks, since Charlie filled him full of bullet holes)

- And of course Danielle Rousseau will be back.

- Michael has been downgraded to recurring character, instead of regular character.

Season 2 finale

When we last left our Losties, Kate, Hurley, Jack, and Sawyer were taken hostage by the Others, after they were betrayed by Michael. In return for helping the Others, Michael and Walt are given a boat to supposedly get off the island. Yeah, okay, good luck with that. Be seeing you again real soon.

Oh, and the hatch exploded. No more showers for our Losties. Guess, I'll just have to picture Sawyer lathering up...oh excuse me, back to the matter at hand. So, did Locke, Desmond, and Eko survive the explosion? Well, if you’ve read this far, you can probably answer that one on your own.

And Penny (Desmond’s long lost love) is seen answering a phone. On the other end of the line are 2 men in a very cold location (the opposite of our very sweaty island). 1 says “I think we’ve found it.” Hmmm. Very interesting. Or not. Tune it to find out.

Season 3 - questions to be answered

1. Kate will finally decide between Jack and Sawyer (my money is on Jack, but Sawyer would be so much better)

2. The Hatch is gone. Forever. Get over it. Oh, but wait. There might be an underwater one. Cue the Splash theme song.

3. We will find out why Locke was in the wheelchair. Promises, promises.

4. We will also find out why Libby (R.I.P.) was in the mental hospital. So obviously, she isn’t completely off the show. But, thankfully, Michelle Rodriguez is. Worst. Actress. Ever. Anybody got any scoop on who she is dating in real life? I got $100 that says it is someone of the female persuasion.

5. It has nothing to do with nanobots. Okay, maybe that won’t be answered exactly. But please. Horrible theory.

6. The polar bear returns.

7. The monster will be revealed.

Unanswered questions

1. Are Jack and Claire siblings?

2. Where is Cindy?

3. How does a show go from being the Emmy winning best drama to not even being nominated??? Stupid Emmy’s.

4. Who is Sun’s baby daddy?

Episode 1 08/07 - Jack, Kate and Sawyer open the season in captivity as prisoners of "The Others." Just who these "Others" are and what they want are primary questions Season Three will explore. Michael Emerson joins the regular cast in his ongoing role as Henry Gale, leader of "The Others." Romance looms on the horizon as Jack's interests veer towards a mysterious new woman, whose motives may be questionable. Sun and Jin will continue to celebrate their pregnancy - but is the child really Jin's? Locke and Sayid will band together with some of the other survivors and journey across the island in an attempt to free Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Charlie will attempt to return into the good graces of Claire and her baby, Aaron, but can he be trusted to stay clean and sober? The fates of Locke, Desmond and Mr. Eko in the aftermath of the implosion of the hatch are answered. Will Penny Widmore find the island and her long, lost love, Desmond, and can the survivors find a way to interact with the outside world? The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their 60-plus days on the island, danger and mystery loom behind every corner, and those they thought could be trusted may turn against them. Even heroes have secrets. Source - ABC

I'm starting a Lost ping list. If you want to be added, Freepmail me.

Feel free to add your island theories.

[ChocChipCookie]

Add me to your ping list. Can't wait for the new season to start!

[Ragtop]

Put me on this ping list, and it's about time! Lost, Battlestar Gallactica and 24 are the best shows on TV right now.

[Ragtop]

I also heard that Locke will be back to his kick a$$ self this season. Can't wait. Locke is my favorite character, followed by Eko and Desmond.
Personally, I think that "The Others" were once part of the Dharma Intiative, and found out about some of the Hanso Foundation's shadier dealings and rebelled. They have been in hiding using the technology gleaned form their experiments to wage a quiet war against the Hanso Foundation.
I think the Losties were brought to the island because of some unknown connection to Hanso/Dharma. But the crash landing was no accident.

I definitely an of the impression that The Others really are good people.

[RockyTop4GOP]

Please add me to the list!

Has anyone followed the "Lost Experience?" I just haven't had the time to devote to it, but I'd like to understand the books and the creepy commercials.

Sadly, I have class on Wednesday nights. Thankfully, I can buy the entire season from itunes and then watch at my leisure!

I wonder if the fact that the main bad guy is named after Dorothy's uncle in the Wizard of Oz means anything.

I wonder if anything means anything on this show.

Here's my theory - some quasi-government international agency has been conducting a multi-generational mindf*ck experiment on these people (they almost all have parents who were also either screwed up or made powerful in some way.) After forty or fifty years, the experiment is finally coming to a head or falling apart, depending on your point of view. That's why they've been bumping into each other at various points in their lives and that's why they were all brought to this island at this time.

Also, Walt's mother (Michael's ex) was in on the experiment - that's why she had to take Walt halfway around the world and stop his contact with Michael. Walt's some freakish fruit of the experiment, and the Dharma gang either had her killed for trying to get him out or she's not really dead and will be showing up on the island this season.

I could be wrong, but if it turns out that it is all just crazy Hurley's dream, I will find everybody involved in creating this show and torture them to death.

[elc]

I don't think it's coincidence that he is named after the Wizard of Oz character.

The question is - does it mean something to the island, or is it just the producer having fun with all the obsessed fans?

[elc]

added.

I don't follow Lost Experience. Trying to keep up with all the theories makes my head spin enough as it is without getting obsessed with a game.

[Ragtop]

Agreed about the Lost Experience. I have heard that the book "the Bad Twin" wasn't all that great and aside from mentioning the Hanso Foundation, and the dedication to "CIndy, my high flying angel" at the beginning, it has nothing to do with Lost, other than having been written by a dead character on the show.

[ecurbh]

Woohoo! One week to go.

[Corin Stormhands]

I shall remain one season behind. Season 2 DVD comes out next week.

[Lucky9teen]

I love Lost. I wouldn't mind being on the ping list.

I saw that my local station is airing a Lost recap and interview with Damon Lindelof to talk about Season 3 and what it entails, etc. on Sept 2nd sometime. My DVR is set to record it, so I don't remember exact details.

I can't wait for Season 3...I'm hoping they won't drag out the episodes this year like they did last year though. That sucked.

[acad1228]

Please add me to the list!

[elc]

They are dragging it out, kind of. 6 weeks starting in October. Then gone and not back until Feb. But once it's back in Feb, there will be 17 straight episodes. No repeats.

[Lucky9teen]

Re: dragging out episodes....the thing that bothered me, was that each episode itself was like dragging, and didn't really answer many questions or get to a lot of action, so they left me wanting more out of it and with more questions, than answers. I hope they liven up the episodes more.

And although we have that 12 week break, I'm superbly happy they aren't doing the reruns every other week.

[elc]

The recap is Sept 27th.

Recapping the 2nd season on the island

[elc]

Interesting. I will have to DVR that.

They also have scheduled a recap of both seasons on the 27th.

[marinamuffy]

Please add me to the Lost ping list. Can't wait for the start of season 3!!!!!
