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

Thanks for the ping. I'm anxiously awaiting the return of Lost. I wonder what they have in store for us this season?

[RabidBartender]

Sorry, never watched it, and I'd hate to start now for fear of not knowing what's going on.

Who plays Gilligan, though?

:D

[elc]

That's why you rent the DVD's of the previous seasons and catch up. We did this after season 1 and it was great. And there's the bonus of not having to sit through commercials and a long hiatus.

[RabidBartender]

Definitely a good idea - I went through the entire run of Stargate last month. Lost is on my list, right after 24 (another show I haven't watched yet).

[Lucky9teen]

I'm there. Thanx for the ping. I can't wait...

[Lucky9teen]

re: Lost & 24

Be careful, they are addicting.

[luv2lurkhere]

Please add me to your Lost ping list. Thanks.

[FrogInABlender]

Please add me to the ping list too.

[elc]

added.

[Tanniker Smith]

Just watched season 2. Okay, finally caught up.
interesting season.

FIIIIINNNNNNNAAAAAAALLLLLYYYYYY!!!

The countdown has begun and I can't stress how excited I am for Lost. Especially since House and Prison Break are off for a few weeks because of baseball.

FYI - The main focus of the first 6 episodes will be about the “Others" Tonight we only see 4 of the original Losties.

Episode 3.1 - “Tale of Two Cities”

This isn’t the first time and won’t be the last time, some spoiler information has been wrong. Regarding the initial post and description of the first episode - I’m not sure how accurate that description is.

But, it will be a Jack flashback episode. Original information had it has a Kate centric episode. Tonight, we’ll see Jack’s wife and his father and we’ll see Jack mad about something involving both of them. Hmmm. A-F-F-A-I-R?

Last year the Lost writers said (my paraphrase) that once someone is killed off the island, that’s it for them. Dead is dead.

And they meant it, sort of. How do you get around this? Why, flashbacks of course.

I mentioned in my first post we will learn more about Libby, so I fully expect to see her in some flashbacks. But she’s not the only one.

Courtesy of E! (Entertainment television) - Boone will make an appearance in some scenes with Locke (sometime in the first 6 episodes).

So brace yourself. It's going to be an awesome night on the islands, with lots of twists and turns and ups and downs.
