For the past 5 years I (and countless others) have found ourselves LOST on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles, crashes somewhere in the South Pacific.
I have many, many questions that I hope will be answered when the 6th and final season starts on Feb. 2, 2010. Questions like, why do people die and suddenly return? Are the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, really dead and stuck in some weird Limbo? Will Kate finally choose between Jack and Sawyer? So many questions, so few episodes to answer them. Season 6 is rumored to have 18 episodes. I can hardly wait for the season to start. This thread is for all those that have questions about the show. Feel free to post what's on your mind and let's have fun chatting about this incredible show. Are you ready to get LOST? I know I am.... |

****SPOILER ALERT*****
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse stated that they "always envisioned Lost as a show with a beginning, middle, and end," and that by announcing when the show would end that viewers would "have the security of knowing that the story will play out as we've intended." Lindelof and Cuse stated that securing the 2010 series-end date "was immensely liberating" and helped the series rediscover its focus. Lindelof noted, "We're no longer stalling." The producers also plan to wrap up long-standing mysteries, such as the nature of the smoke monster, the four-toed statue of Taweret, the identity of the Adam & Eve skeletons from the season one episode "House of the Rising Sun", and the reason the Dharma periodic resupply drops continue after the purge. Lindelof has also indicated that Walt's unusual abilities may be explained, although this may not necessarily require the character's direct involvement. Matthew Fox stated in an interview that in the final season, the characters of Jack Shephard and John Locke "will come head to head." A third of the way through the final season, the two time lines will be "solidified into one" and "will be very linear – no more flashbacks, nothing." He has also claimed to be the only cast member who knows the ending of the series, though Lindelof has clarified that Fox only knows things that are relevant to his character. During Comic-Con 2009, numerous sixth season reports were made. Carlton Cuse stated both the time travel and flash-forward seasons were over, and they're moving into something different for the sixth season. Josh Holloway stated his character Sawyer would revert to his old self after the loss of Juliet. Though Cuse and Lindelof stated that the Dharma Initiative will no longer play a large role in the show, they have said that the "Dharma-Michigan connection" will play a significant role in season six. Lindelof has stated that the producers had a direct hand in the production of the season six promotional poster that was first displayed at Comic-Con, and that everything in it is intentional; he also made a reference to the Abbey Road cover in connection to the poster. Season six is the only season of Lost ever to not feature any kind of preview or official promotional material such as sneak peeks and promo pictures for future episodes since the Lost producers consider any single frame from the first episodes to be too revealing. According to Lindelof, "even a single scene from the show would basically tip what it is we're doing this year, and what it is we're doing this year is different than what we've done in other years". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_%28TV_series%29 |

Creators of ‘Lost’ Say the GPS Unit Is Plugged In
By EDWARD WYATT January 31, 2010 LOS ANGELES FROM the time that Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 crashed on a mysterious island in the 2004 premiere of “Lost” on ABC, almost everything that appeared to be true about the fate of the survivors has become if not actually false, then at least vastly more complicated that it originally seemed. The island itself, for example, which at first seemed to be disconcertingly deserted, soon proved itself to be even more disconcertingly inhabited. While those inhabitants (known as the “others”) are liars, kidnappers and murderers, ultimately their crimes are revealed to serve a larger, protective purpose. And though it appears that for survivors of the crash the ultimate goal is to leave the island, many who do leave find themselves inexorably pulled back. For the men pulling the levers behind the “Lost” curtain, finding ways to wrap up both the fate of the story’s characters and the mysteries of the island for the program’s final 16 episodes, which begins Tuesday, is a multifold challenge. “Normally the thing that you have to execute is coming up with fulfilling endings and resolve the fate of your characters,” said Damon Lindelof, an executive producer who, with Carlton Cuse, oversees the series and is writing the key episodes for the coming season. “But we also have the added weight of how are we going to resolve this mythology. “The show is so predicated on questions. So now we’re in answer mode, and have been for quite some time.” And while the creators of “Lost” have assured viewers for much of the last five years that yes, they know the answers to those questions, they acknowledge that they do not yet know exactly how the series will come to a close. The final episodes have not yet been written, much less filmed. “We came up with the final image of the show a long time ago, back when we were first plotting out the mythology in the first season,” Mr. Cuse said. But he added: “We still have six hours of the show to make. That is sort of the equivalent of three feature films. We have to do all the writing for those in about eight or nine weeks, and we have to finish shooting them between now and the middle of April.” The creators are willing to make a few promises, which they outlined this month in an interview and in discussions with reporters at a meeting of the Television Critics Association. Viewers will not have to wait until the last moments of the series finale to get many of their answers, they say. Beginning with the season premiere, revelations about some of the most fundamental mysteries will come fast and furious. Some of the “Lost” actors, in fact, implied that viewers hoping to quench their thirst for answers in the season premiere might find themselves drinking from a fire hose. “It felt like a finale,” said Josh Holloway, who plays Sawyer, the brooding loner who seems to think best with his shirt off. “That scale. Wow.” But providing answers does not necessarily means that resolutions will be simple. Emilie de Ravin, whose character, Claire, was pregnant when the plane crashed, gave birth on the island and all but disappeared into a spiritual netherworld in Season 4, admitted that she was initially a bit confused. “I think I had to read it about three times before it actually made sense,” said Ms. de Ravin, whose character plays a bigger role this year. She was confused, she added, but “in a great way.” “Not helping,” said Mr. Lindelof, who said of his biggest nightmare, deadpan: “Get ready to scratch your heads, America.” The creators say their hope is that this final season might feel like a first, in that a viewer does not need to have watched the 95 previous episodes in order to enjoy the final chapter. “There’s an inherent process when you’re ending something to sort of be thinking about the beginning,” Mr. Lindelof said. “One of the things that I think we are trying to do — all of us, the actors and the writers as well, in the sixth season — is to show the audience the before,” as well as the after. Therefore episodes in the final season will continue to provide plenty of back story. That way viewers “have some sense of, ‘Oh, this is what he used to be and who they are now,’ ” Mr. Lindelof added. “So you really get a sense of how far that person’s come.” And, both the creators and ABC hope, viewers who have never seen the show might find it more inviting. “Lost” remains, by almost any measure, one of ABC’s biggest hits. But its viewership has fallen by about 30 percent from the first season, when an average of 15.5 million viewers tuned in each week, to the fifth, which drew about 11 million a week, according to Nielsen. Last season’s finale drew about 10 million viewers, compared with 14 million to 20 million in the earlier seasons. And it is perhaps the most loyal viewers — who, having immersed themselves in every detail of every show, might therefore be hoping that every puzzle will be solved — who stand to be the most disappointed, according to the creators. “Obviously not every question’s going to be answered,” Mr. Cuse said. “We felt if we tried to just answer questions, it would be very pedantic. Apart from that, we also really embrace this notion that there’s a fundamental sort of sense of mystery that we all have in our lives, and certainly that is a huge part of the lives of these characters.” “To sort of demystify that by trying to literally explain everything down to the last little sort of midi-chlorian of it all would be a mistake in our view,” he added. (In “Star Wars,” midi-chlorians were life forms existing inside all living things; that the “Lost” creators might explain the real-world implications of their fantasy world by referring to another fantasy world is perhaps part of the reason that the series has lost viewers.) But Mr. Cuse remains optimistic: “I think there would be, hopefully, a kind of healthy cocktail of answers, mystery, good character resolutions and some surprises.” As with the Harry Potter series, another fantasy that the creators often cite as inspiration, the end is likely to have more to do with character resolution than with the solving of mysteries like what exactly the island is. Does Kate, the sexy fugitive, for example, end up with Sawyer or Jack, the reluctant leader of the band of survivors? Is John Locke dead or alive? Will Hurley ever lose weight? If the creators are not saying, they do promise one other thing. While the ending of the series will almost certainly provoke some debate, it will not be of the type created by, say, the black screen that ended “The Sopranos” or the “It was all a dream” or “It all took place in someone’s imagination” endings of “Newhart” or “St. Elsewhere.” And like David Chase, the “Sopranos” creator, they do not plan to answer questions after the finale. “We feel like over the course of the entire season we’re going to be answering questions and explaining things,” Mr. Cuse said. “We’re really going to focus on making sure the resolution of these characters comes to a place that we as writers feel satisfying. And that’s kind of the best approach we can take to make the show end well.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/arts/television/31lost.html |

Finding Lost: Fans in a dither over final season of wacky hit show
By Tim Clodfelter Media General News Service Tuesday at 8 p.m. on ABC, fans of the hit TV series Lost will finally get answers to their questions ... well, some of them, at least. The series known for its convoluted storylines and elaborate mythology starts its sixth and final season next week, counting down to the series finale in May. And fans are getting ready. To prepare for the new season, Lauren Driggers a veterinary technician from Winston-Salem has been watching all the previous episodes of the series on DVD. "I've gone through all the seasons and I'm back up to speed now," she said last week. She isn't alone. "Everyone I talk to that are into Lost has spent the past months re-watching all of the seasons," said Nancy Ratliff, a fan from Stoneville, in an e-mail interview. "We have been combing the past looking for some little sign of what was going on with Locke." For the uninitiated, John Locke is one of the show's more enigmatic characters. One storyline from last season revolved around his apparent death and resurrection, but the season finale revealed that the man who was walking among them now might not be the real Locke. "Did he change?" Ratliff asked. "When? Is he two different people? We have found that he sure acted strange at times." But that's just one of many puzzles fans have enjoyed sorting out among themselves, in person and on message boards. "The entire show has been like a puzzle and we still have many missing pieces," Ratliff said. "We fans want all the pieces to be revealed and we are seriously worried that we will not get it all." Byron Pfordte (pronounced "FOR-tay") runs the "Triad Losties" fan community at ABC 45's Web site along with Eric Gabriel. They provide weekly podcasts on the site and then load them onto iTunes. Last year, they got a chance to interview series producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof about their plans for the finale, and if fans would finally get answers to the questions they've been asking. "They said all the big questions are going to be addressed," Pfordte said, "but (there are) so many side issues people have questions about, there's no way they're going to be able to answer all of them." The devotion of Losties led the satiric Web site TheOnion.com to recently create a fake news report on the subject. Cuse and Lindelof joined in on the prank, participating in a tongue-in-cheek interview for the site. When Pfordte was working at an ABC affiliate in Pensacola, Fla., he did recaps of the previous nights' episodes that were shown during the morning newscasts. When be became the art director at ABC 45, "not having local news on the station, we decided to do a podcast instead," he said. The show moves at such a fast pace that fans sometimes have to watch an episode more than once. "When I'm watching the show in real time, there may have been something that I missed," Pfordte said. "As time permits, I'll go back and look through it." Ratliff said she has been watching the show "since day one, and have tried to bring other people onto the island." Driggers first discovered the show in its second season. "Then I rented the first season from Blockbuster and kind of got hooked on it," she said. "What I like best about it is that it's more like an ongoing movie than a TV show." But, she said, she is looking forward to seeing the storylines finally get resolved. "I don't think they can draw it out much longer," she said. Ratliff also praised the look of the show, along with the writing, the characters and the way the producers have fleshed out the backgrounds of those characters. "This is the best show ever on television," she said. "It surely has been an adventure, and I am so glad I was along for the ride." Pfordte said he is particularly curious about whether the show will take a more scientific or a more supernatural tone as it draws to a close. For the final episode, he said, "I'm anticipating a bit of a dark ending, not something where everything ends happily." Ratliff believes that the answer may be that the characters are in a sort of purgatory. "I believe that (there's) no way they could survive a plane crash like that," she said. "I lean toward the theory that they have died and may have a chance of redeeming their past sins. I hope this is the way it ends. I want the characters to have a second chance at their lives." Driggers is counting on the ending to answer enough questions to satisfy fans, such as the riddle of the recurring numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42, which have appeared throughout the series in radio transmissions, lottery numbers and more. "I'm hoping they'll let you know what the island is all about," she said. "And I'm dying to know what the numbers are all about. Because if they don't explain it, that'll drive me nuts for the rest of my life." Tim Clodfelter writes for the Winston-Salem Journal. http://www2.hickoryrecord.com/content/2010/jan/29/finding-lost-fans-dither-over-final-season-wacky-h/entertainment/ |
