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

It's Wednesday already. 1 episode down, 5 more to go in which they don't answer our questions.


This girl was cut from the season premier as far as I have gathered. I wonder who she is?

Episode description:

The Glass Ballerina (Sun/Jin-centric)

Sayid's plan to locate Jack places Sun and Jin's lives in grave danger. Meanwhile, Kate and Sawyer are forced to work in harsh conditions by their captors, and Henry makes a very tempting offer to Jack that may prove difficult to refuse.
----
A friend and I were talking about how it seems Jack, Kate, and Sawyer are being tested and last week it seemed that Jack passed his test. So the offer that Ben/Henry is making Jack fits into that theory.

[elc]

Episode 03: Further Instructions

The fates of Locke, Eko and Desmond are revealed after the implosion of the hatch, while Hurley returns to the beach camp to tell the tale of what happened when he, Jack, Kate and Sawyer encountered "The Others." Meanwhile, Claire is shocked to find Nikki and Paulo in Jack's tent.

Some tidbits from the Lost Podcast.
1. Pickett and Colleen are an item.
2. They had decided in season 2 that Sun had actually had an affair with Jae.
3. Things are looking good for Sawyer and Kate (as a couple).
4. When Ben said that he has been living on the island all his life it implies that there were people on the island before the Dharma Initiative, which started around 1980 (as per the orientation films). Rosseau arrived on the island about the same time as the Dharma people. Carlton also said that one should also remember the statue and the Black Rock.
5. We will see the return of Locke as man of the jungle.
6. We will probably be seeing more of Shannon.
7. A confirmation of if you're dead you're dead on Lost. You will only return through flashbacks.
8. We will find the Flame Station in season 3.
9. We will find out about Jack's tattoos in season 3.
10. Assuming that Ben is talking about himself in season 2 when he is talking about the leader of the Others is a good assumption, but don't close the door on the possibility of another leader.
11. Claire and Charlie could become another Lost triangle.

3. Things are looking good for Sawyer and Kate (as a couple).

Woooohooo! I hope this is true. IMHO Sawyer has it all over whiney baby Jack.

[elc]

Couldn't agree more. I'm quite disappointed with the writers last week. They missed a gold opportunity to have Sawyer with his shirt off and they didn't. Come on. Why would he have been working so hard in that heat with his shirt ON?

[marinamuffy]

LOL. I definitely wouldn't have minded seeing that!

[elc]

Did everyone catch this? And remember the significance of the name of the band? (Turn away now, if you haven't seen last nights episode.)

[sunvalley]

What is the significance? I must've missed something!

[ChocChipCookie]

Yes, someone on the show had a Geronimo Jackson LP or some such thing. Try going to www.thefuselage.com and doing a search.

[elc]

I was waiting for someone to ask. This is a transcript of a scene from last season:

[We see an album cover for Geronimo Jackson. Hurley and Charlie are looking through the albums in the hatch.]

HURLEY: Geronimo Jackson?

CHARLIE: Well, hooo, as an expert in all things musical -- I've never heard of these guys, shocking as that may be. Geronimo Jackson?

HURLEY [holding a different album]: This looks sweet. Let's give her a rip.

[Charlie puts the Geronimo Jackson record down and puts the other album on the turntable.]

[sunvalley]

Thanks! I remember it now. I consider myself a dedicated LOST fan, but you've got me beat!

[elc]

I only figured it out because I went looking for evidence that that the "cop" was an Other. So I went through a website that posts screen caps and then googled anything that looked suspicious.

[girlscout]

Here's a little eye candy for us.

[elc]

I officially will not be able to work the rest of the day after staring at that. Good thing the day is almost over.

When I saw the preview for next week, all I could think was "you better watch out Ben/Henry, Sawyer can soooooo kick your puny little arse." And he will look so good doing it!

[marinamuffy]

Yummy.

What did you think of Boone in last night's episode?

I didn't think much of him in Season 1 but for some reason he looked pretty hot to me last night. The darker hair maybe?

[girlscout]

I only have eyes for Sawyer (don't tell the hub). Boone was just a flash in the night.

Apparently I sneezed during a portion of some episode, because I don't remember the two new people at camp ever being there before.

[girlscout]

Here's one of 'His Fineness' with his wife Yessica.

[elc]

Boone is good looking, but too much of a pretty boy. Sawyer is rugged and dangerous. And very funny.

You didn't miss anything with regards to the 2 new losties. Basically Rodrigo Santoro and Kiele Sanchez were cast this season to play flight 815 survivors who have been there the whole time. Just in the background. This season they will be more important characters. I think because of all the main characters, we forget there are other survivors who are usually just in the backgrounds of scenes.

[girlscout]

I just loooovvveee the way he says "hey Freckles". If Kate has any female sense at all she will choose Sawyer over Jack.

I agree with you about Boone. He is attractive just not rugged hot.

[girlscout]

Good show last night!

[elc]

Yes it was. I felt reall bad that I didn't get to ping the list yesterday because I got locked out of my computer.

Just compiling some thoughts now about last night's episode...

I do have to say, if in the next 2 episodes (before they go on the long hiatus) if they don't wrap up a story line or 2 I may lose interest between now and February.
