'Spanish Buzz' - Toy Story 3 - 'Made For Each Other' Barbie & Ken Meet (Videos)

... Toystory

Saw Toy Story 3  (in regular 'D') on Sunday night:

Ken (of Barbie and...) was amusing but also sinister. I'll never look at/ think of a Ken doll in quite the same way again. Barbie was more like I would expect (sort of a bubblehead). Ken was positively evil at times and I don't agree with the excuse that "Lotso" turned Ken bad. Spanish Buzz Lightyear was truly funny.

I hope they integrate some Spanish Buzz on one of the Toy Story/Buzz Lightyear rides at Disneyland.

Do that and skip the truly lame idea of a LOST ride. Three Cap'n Jacks on a single ride (Pirates of the Caribbean) was a big enough gaffe. One Depp doppleganger would've been fine. Three was (were?) jarring. LOST--a teevee show that...I'll just say not enough mass appeal/understanding of the show to warrant a Disneyland ride. I hate to put it this way but LOST was too 'niche.'

Spot on!

ABC sets the record straight about the series finale's plane crash images

 

You know those Oceanic 815 plane crash images that ran after Jack's (Matthew Fox) eye closed and the "Lost" logo appeared on our TV screens? Some "Lost" fans and TV critics have wondered if they were a last Easter egg from the producers, a clue meant to lead us to conclude that no one survived Oceanic 815's crash landing — and therefore everything we've seen over the last six years never really happened.

via www.fakelocke.com

Funny because by the time we got to the end of LOST finale "The End," our heads were so spun around by what had unfolded that the rusting wreckage was the least of our concerns. This:
was cause for worry.

The Metatextual Meaning of the Big Gold Hole - A Nice Fit

First, it's an apt metaphor for the entire series, in that it contains the promise of a blinding revelation, but it's hard to find, and if you do find it and try to penetrate it, it vanishes and in the process spews out all this bullshit.  

via www.fakelocke.com

I am so on board with this assessment of LOST, especially the spewing of "all this bullshit(e)" -part.

I can only enjoy LOST if I think of it as an old skool DC comic book.

Does anyone else besides me remember LOST being referred to (by one of the characters out -of-character, I think) as "Craphole Island"? That could also be a nice fit for "gold hole."

Portraits of the Dead : Where's Neil Frogurt?

via fuckyeahlost.com

via www.fakelocke.com

Honestly, I think the EW 12 different-collectible covers and this dead portrait thing is uninspired. It does nothing for me and it's missing Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) and Daniel Faraday (Jeremy Davies) while inserting nominally important people like "Naomi" (in the afro) and "Libby."

We've been hit over the head for years now with a shoulders-up shot of Locke in a coffin--so this seems just like more of the same--minus any tie-in to the actual LOST storyline.

If they were going to fish around on the "C" or "D"- lists why not go with someone like Neil Frogurt?

LOST - True Blood - Jacob? HOLY CRAP, THAT’S THE SAME GUY?

via www.fakelocke.com

Revelation of the day: Mark Pellegrino, who’s most recognizable these days as Jacob on “Lost,” also played the Blond Treehorn Thug in The Big Lebowski. So if you’re a Hollywood casting agent and you need an actor who can forcibly dunk a guy in water, Pellegrino’s your man. Up next for him: a role as a superhuman Southern Baptist preacher on “True Blood” who baptizes vampires by force.

via warmingglow.uproxx.com and Jake

I've been wanting to find a way to tie two of the shows that I'm most invested in, LOST and True Blood together and I think Mark Pellegrino may be my ticket. Can someone call True Blood casting and make this happen? This guy has perfected forced dunking! (links go to  my WordPress-hosted blogs)

LOST - Confessions of a Spoiler Junkie - *HUGE LOST SPOILERS* Through S6x16 - Don't Read If You Prefer To Remain Pure

For the Kate haters: She could kick your pasty-white, cubicle-enclosed asses.

 

In seriousness, you probably couldn't care less about Evangeline Lilly but for a model with no acting experience prior to LOST just like Josh Holloway as Sawyer, I think she did alright. She rocked the action scenes. When Holloway ran it looked like he had a load in his pants. Why didn't you bitch about Holloway's acting chops? Because the :ahem: writers gave him some occasionally witty dialogue. What did they give Kate? A craptastic backstory, a three-way romantic dilemma and a penchant for wandering the Island after...usually Jack or Sawyer. Oh yeah. She took Aaron home as a consolation prize.

I can't really tell you if "spoilers" are good or bad. I don't believe they in any way dissuade people from watching a show that they would have otherwise watched. One might guess that interest might be peaked prior to viewing an episode that had been "spoiled." Theoretically, more people might tune in to an episode to find out if what has been said to be revealed, actually plays out.

My experience as a viewer is that it does take some of the enjoyment out of viewing after one learns at least a key point or two about an episode.

As a writer however, it enhances my ability to form an opinion because I've had time to mull it over. In entertainment news/opinion time is of the essence. I don't' have a roster of volunteers at my disposal to crank out an uber-timely post so any help I can get via insider info prior to the show is greatly appreciated.

Just as the LOST Spoilers site owner thanked people on the inside at LOST, seven of which provided leaks about LOST production, casting, filming locations and much, much more, I extend a thank you to him and to his site for the wealth of material they have made available--most of it supplied with only the request that it is correctly attributed (see link).

With that said, the following thumbnails will take you through Episode 16 of 18 episodes of LOST including a major incident in which there are many deaths. If you click the thumbnails you will read stuff that includes who dies through episode 16. People who are truly invested in the show may be quite upset about not only the deaths but other key plot points that are revealed way before we are supposed to know about them.

For my part, I'm pretty bummed about one death, a strong character since the very beginning. I hoped against hope that it wouldn't happen and now I'll be bummed through May. I guess I deserve it for being a spoiler junkie.

One more thing. I have multiple blogs and I've written both here and at The Love You Make which is where my LOST work is currently. Ultimately, I'm merging the blogs. WordPress shall win out over TypePad but only geeks care what platform I'm serving on.

True Blood - Is The Redhead Dead? HUGE Kristen *Spoiler* / Eric HBO Video - NEWLY Re-Released

Eric Northman

From Kristen:
Sources tell me that a female will die this season on True Blood.

That, coupled with the news that Carrie Preston (Arlene Fowler) has been cast on CBS' The Good Wife for multiple episodes—while according to Ryan Kwanten, True Blood is "halfway through shooting the season" ... Carrie has stated  that "Something shocking happens to Arlene," which to me sort of de-bags the cat, so to speak.

Photo from fOTOGLIF

Now that she and husband Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn, both of LOST (which, in case you live in a cave with no internets is in its sixth and final season) will be free for a bit they should do a play!

The new promo starring Alexander Skarsgård (Eric) is here. ...along with a second teaser (above), in which Alex just looks dangerous and dreamy.  He's probably looking  at or thinking of Sookie.

"So what does this new teaser mean for the fate of a certain fan-favorite Merlotte waitress, and the much-rumored death this season? Spoiler Alert:..."

LOST - Video Tribute - The 'Best' of Ben Linus (Music: Michael Jackson's 'Ben')

ABC's March 11, 2010 Tribute to Benjamin Linus.

ElderWand777

Rarely am I glad that I am old enough to remember what was a huge pop hit for the adolescent Michael Jackson. This case is an exception as it is so very perfect. "Ben" is a song about a boy's pet...rat. The lyrics speak for themselves. The best of Ben Linus scenes that accompany it are priceless.

LOST - 6x06 "Sundown" - End Scene - 'Catch a Falling Star' HD / No More Hating Kate (Screen Caps)/ A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall

LOST - Season 4 finale -  Kate & the little 'turniphead' at their faked rescue

latestlost 

As LOST's last season continues barreling to its May 23 conclusion, the LOST writers have given us some scenes that are sure to be referenced as "the best." I nominate this one, LOST - 6x06 "Sundown" - End Scene - ('Catch a Falling Star') HD in it's entirety but specifically Kate's (Evangeline Lilly) part in it.

'Kate' has MANY detractors, in fact she's probably more reviled in the fan community than Ben (Michael Emerson) ever was--and his is a 'good' kind of bad. But Kate is NOT bad. She just been written that way.

Think about what they gave this character to work with. Not a lot.

For every time Kate has been "bad" and here's the rub--she gotten pilloried more for her sexuality (Jack & Kate & Sawyer)--for every time she's been a bad girl, she's been badass twice as often.

This scene of unspeakable devastation & carnage shows Kate, though completely aghast at what she's experiencing still having the presence of mind take up a dead man's rifle & arm herself. It reminded me of the scene in Season 1 in both its similarities & contrast.

In LOST S1, the plane had crashed, bodies littered everywhere. Kate needed to be able to help pull the group together and at Jack's suggestion she needed to find some sensible shoes in which to do so. The only shoes that looked about right for her were on a corpse. She made her way to the corpse, fighting fear all the way and gingerly removed it's shoes and put them on. Contrast that scene with this. She's in a similar devastated situation--seemingly in shock but this time without anyone to prompt her into action. No need as her survival instincts are on full alert. She glances at a fresh corpse, see what looks like a working rifle and plucks it away from the body to take as her own--all the while taking in the insane scene of a reanimated John Locke with a ragtag clutch of Others and Claire--and Sayid!--all now followers of UnLocke. So much was telegraphed without words--only eye contact between UnLocke and Kate. No more hatin' on Kate. Kate is great.

Search for Clues With 'Lost' Cast at PaleyFest

'Lost' cast and crew were out for PaleyFest in LA Saturday night, teasing fans eager to figure out where the mysterious show is headed in its final season. (Feb. 28)

AssociatedPress

A: In short, no. Not for any definitive answers. If you have loads of time to spend you could screen cap them and try to squeeze out what you will. I did so here. Did I find stuff? Yes. Was it helpful in my understanding what is going on or has gone on with LOST? No.The promos for Season 6 are not giving anything away that is significant. Here's what I found in the two promos for Episode 6 of Season 6, "Sundown".

This is "Lennon'. See his glasses. Get it? Clever, huh? Look at the silhouette of the figure next to him--very diminutive (and Lennon isn't tall)--wavy hair--can't be Hurley, even Sayid is taller--see the pert nose? Has to be Kate. Also, Kate stated explicitly two times prior (to Jin and Jack) that she was NOT returning to the Temple--so for sure that is what she's done. She's Kate!

Guess what she's gonna do next.

Did you guess punch him in the throat? Yep. That's what she does. Why do you think Kate came back to the Temple (of Doom)? What or who could be so compelling? These days she seems to want to remind us that she came to the Island for one reason--to bring Claire back...so...

Claire is indeed on the premises--Feral Claire that is--who swore that if it really was Kate who "took" baby Aaron--she'd have to kill her.

Kate looks troubled perhaps by both Claire's appearance and that :cough:feral:cough: look in her eyes.

No matter. Kate rushes in...

Think this happens before or after Kate's meeting up with Claire? The cut of the promo wants us to think that it is right of the heels of meeting Claire. I say, if so--Claire saves Kate. (The pic is upside down so you are looking up from wherever Kate is struggling not to fall down into).

You know it's Kate because she favours the boot cut jeans.

Is this the moment before she takes a tumble? (Probably not--though it is edited that way.)

More Feral Claire and UnLocke (or 'Smokey' as actor O'Quinn prefers).

Claire: 'Your going to hurt them.'

UnLocke: 'Only the ones who won't listen.'

A random image of Dogen? Zero context here.

Sayid: 'I demand answers!'

Dogen "I want you to kill him..."

  No answers but a nifty souvenir of all our fun times (a dagger).

Sayid is unnerved by something/one very tall/high up. The Hurley-bird?

Nope. Smokey. We are not afraid because we've been reminded that Candidates are special and that the rules say Smokey cannot kill them. I bet if Sayid knew he was a candidate he would simply blow off Smokey.

See? Smokey just wants to be friends--as long as you do what he says.

Is Hurley annoyed or just hot and tired (both?)

Regardless, Hurley and Jack are together in the jungle--no reason to head back to the Temple--unless that is what Jack is doing and Hurley, having spoken with Jacob, is trying to convince him otherwise. Hm.

The Temple looks closed. Smokey, not too happy. (The cap in the next frame that I couldn't get has Unlocke morphing into Smokey. Good times!)

Is it me or does it seem like Ben is destined for a bad end? (Not here, now but soon.)

Have no idea of the context here. That is probably Sayid with the dagger. Is Ben flashing back? No idea.

Dogen reminds Sayid 'why' he is called Master Dogen. Again, the sequence of the promo is distorted. Have no clue when this happens. Hopefully, in Episode 6.

Sun is freaked out by...something. She's at the Temple (ABC photos follow).

Notice the Temple-dweller Other in the background appears to be packed and ready to leave.

Now for the actual ABC photos which again, tell us nothing--but are high resolution! I added them to the screen cap mix and maybe have one small spoiler--that's it. (Click to embiggen.)

Best bet I've found out is to try and decipher what is happening in LOST after it has aired. A great help doing this is by checking out the HQ caps at either SpoilerTV or LOSTmedia.

Q: Can you tell me if any of the following Losties will get a centric episode by season’s end: Miles, Ilana, Lapidus, or Claire?

Ausiello: No, no, no, and no. At least as of 6.15. And my guess is the final hours won’t center on anyone. The good news: You’ll see a lot of those four in other people’s sideways arcs.

LOST - Jacob's Candidates & The Numbers *SPOILERS* HQ Photos 'The Lighthouse' E6x05 - WHO is #108 'Wallace'?

Number 108 is Wallace! Wait. Who is Wallace?

My LOST blog

This is essentially a pictorial SPOILER post involving Jack, Hurley,The Numbers and names attached to The Numbers as well as other names/numbers--the significance of which we are not really sure.

All caps unless otherwise noted thanks to Source: Get Lost Podcast.

In the just-aired-in-the-US & Canada LOST (E6x05, 'The Lighthouse'), Hurley and Jack--at Jacob's behest (of Hurley) went to the Lighthouse wherein were The Numbers and names--written in a fashion much more easy to read than on last week's cave wall--they were on a piece of nautical navigational equipment with "degrees" on it. It was massive (see photos) and it had a triad of mirrors that I suppose would reflect pertinent scenes of the particular person for whom the degree setting was on mark. Hurley was maneuvering the device by pulling a chain and Jack caught a glimpse of what he called his childhood home in the mirrors. He ran over the the dial saw "Shephard" was at 23 degrees and then lost his cool completely. (So very Jack.)

"He's been watching me all my life!!!" he bellowed, while contorting his face in the most violently disturbing way I've ever seen Jack do (and that takes some doing). He yelled at Hurley to bring Jacob there but Hurley can't because that is not one of Hurley's "powers." Hurley interacts with dead people but he does not control when they show up, Hurley sort of explained. Jack became enraged even further and smashed the mirror but not before quite a few names, possible candidates were visible to the viewer including some that the average, non-obsessive LOST fan could recognize. Wait, is there anyone like that?

(There's Lostpedia for the comprehensive fine-tooth-comb list.)

Kate (Austen) is No. 51!

Have a gander at the photos of the Jacob's Candidate/Numbers dial device in the lighthouse and tell me what you think!

Click through for full size.

My big question (besides WHO IS WALLACE?!) is when Jack is saying go back to his number he saw "something," when he did check at 23° he said he saw his childhood home. But. I see a picture of a pagoda, too. Is that another candidate's number/image? UPDATE*/ It is the place Jin and Sun got married. There's another, less-clear photo too that does not look like the image Jack identified as his home. UPDATE/ It is the church where Sawyer's parent's funeral was held.

UPDATE*! Thanks to Vozzek69!

LOST Season 5 Finale Juliet's Death VIDEO - 'The Incident' *SPOILERS* #lost #julietsdeath

Lost Season 5 Finale - Juliet's Death VIDEO:

 

There seems to an an avalanche of LOST previews and sneak peeks being released and/or leaked in the last day or so. Most of them have much blood, shooting, and explosions.

Today's find by The ODI was a little bit different in that in wandered full on into 'shipper territory.
Without rehashing the past 5 seasons too much, there's been a triangle of the girl, Kate (Eve Lilly) and two very different-yet-equally-baggage-laden boys.
Jack (Matt Fox) is a surgeon, a pillhead, a heavy drinker and his emotional stability at any given time is questionable as well as his adherence to the Hippocratic Oath.

James "Sawyer" LaFleur (Josh Holloway) is a con man, a murderer, and a serial liar.
For Kate's part she too, is a murderer and a thief and like almost every other LOSTIE, has daddy issues.

After a couple of years* of Kate ping-ponging back and forth between Jack and Sawyer, Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) was introduced. At the time, she was an Other--a bad guy--but she turned pretty quickly after realizing that the LOSTIES wanted off the Island as much as she did. Juliet had a thing for Jack--they went as far as kissing--but Season 4 ended with her and James stranded on the Island together whilst Jack and Kate helicoptered off into the sunset (more or less).

Jack and Kate had a relationship including an engagement back on the mainland and Sawyer and Juliet shacked up together for 3 years as part of the Dharma Initiative. Now the foursome is reunited (sort of) and the push-pull-ping-ponging is warming up for Season 6, which premieres, in 8 months.

IMO, the triangle then quadrangle was one of the least interesting aspects of LOST except for maybe that time when Kate and Sawyer had sex in a cage while Jack watched them on a monitor. I really hope that we don't get stuck in the same groove but that could well be the case if my death poll turns out to be right and one of the four gets pulled out of the equation.

(in our time--months in LOSTIE time)

I have a couple of screen caps that made me go WTH? What do you think of them? What's happening?

So we have Katie, Jules and Jim. Kate and Juliet appear to be in the midst of being forced to shoot someone. Sawyer/James looks to be taking a bullet. Are one or both of the ladies shooting him?

Here it appears that Juliet is in great distress plus WTH is that smokey stuff either going into her mouth or coming out?! This one truly has me stumped.

This is (our hero) Jack, of course. He's in a fire fight and he's lugging an out-of-it Sayid. Is Sayid going to make it? How badly is he hurt?

 

The promos have told us that John Locke, the "leader" of the Hostiles/Others has stated that he wishes for Ben to kill the never-seen but all-powerful Jacob. Is this a scene inside Jacob's cabin? Will Ben actually go through with it when he's not ever actually seen Jacob? Do you think they are gonna make us wait until next season before we know? (No need to answer the last query.)

This is Frank Lapidis, the pilot that was supposed to have been at the helm of the crashed Flt. 815, who actually did pilot a helicopter onto and off of the Island, allowing the O6 to escape, and he is the commercial airline pilot who brought most of them back--plus some other people who also haven't been given much to do but seem to be obsessed with this big box and what "lies in the shadow of the statue." I like Frank but given how little he seems to do, do you think he's going to be collateral damage in the Season 5-ending episode?

Is the reason Jack looks like this -

In any way related to how he looks here (ick). Was he in the Jughead explosion and his skin is nuked or what?

This worries me. Geez, Jack. WTH?

Kate is puzzled by Jack as well. Jack is pretty squirrely at times but she pulls some major dumb moves because she leads with her heart. Now at least. It's been hammered pretty hard into the audience's skull that three years as a mommy changed Kate.

She's still nice to gaze upon even if she has gone all mushy. ;)

LOST 5x15 - "Locke's Impeccable Timing" (below needs to be lightened -sorry)

How did Locke know when exactly to meet himself in the jungle? My head hurts trying to unravel what timeline Locke, Richard, Ben, et al at are in if the incident that I thought was from the past recurred again?! Colour me confuzzled. I sort of agree with showrunner Carlton Cuse that when this season is over "it is time for the time travel craziness to end," he said. "And once it does end, something very, very surprising will happen in its wake,"quoth he at last week's Star Trek premiere.

LOST Update - 6 NEW Sneak Peeks Videos - NEW E5X15 - Follow The Leader *Videos* SPOILERS*

Sharing the LOST Love - Just released, five NEW LOST sneak peeks--not quick scenes that go "flash" but whole dialogues! I usually write about LOST at The Love You Make but these are too juicy not to share. Enjoy. Namaste!

Sneak Peek #1 "Just who the bloody hell might you be?" (random Hostile with rifle addressing Jack after kicking him in the face)

Sneak Peek #2 "There's something different about you." (Richard) "I have a purpose now." (Locke)

Sneak Peek #3 "I remember meeting them all (Kate, Hurley Jack, Jin)...very clearly...because I watched them all die. (Richard Alpert to Sun)

Sneak Peek #4 "Everything we've been through--all of the misery--we just wipe it clean." (Jack) "It was not. all. misery." (Kate) "Enough of it was." (Jack)

Sneak Peek #5 "I need to know if you are from the future...Who is the president of the United States?" (Dr. Chang to Hurley) "Alright dude, we're from the future. Sorry." (Hurley)

Sneak Peek #6 "OK Jim. This is your last chance. You tell me where she is or so help me God, I will kill you." (Radzinski to a bound Sawyer referring to the video of Kate getting ready to cross the sonic fence.)

"I brought dinner." (John Locke to Richard Alpert)

Here's an interesting screen cap from a Sneak Peek vid from which I believe we are supposed to gather that the Season One-retro (undead) Locke is back to being the Great Hunter. Obv. Locke still has his handy-dandy knife. RIP that Naomi chick who parachuted in and later died at John's hand of knife-in-the-back syndrome.

Evangeline Lilly of LOST Talks to Canadian TVGuide About Latest Departure-From-Series Rumours, Evolution of 'Kate and Sawyer'

LOSTt fans were in an uproar when reports alleged that Evangeline Lilly was leaving the show and auditioning for pilots that could launch this fall.

Her reps were quick to put out that fire, saying the story was absolutely false.

So TVGuide.ca decided to ask the actress herself, and hopefully, fans will be pleased by the answer.

“Why on Earth would I want to leave the best female role on television, in my humble opinion?” says Lilly with a laugh. “I’m happy at the show. The rumour started because the world was bored and they need a little drama, so they make things up, and that’s it; it’s very simple.”

Phew, right? The preview for the next episode of Lost has alluded to the long-awaited reunion of Kate and Sawyer (Josh Holloway), and Lilly dished on how she hoped it would go down, and what did indeed happen.

“For Evangeline, it was great fun because it’s been a long time since I worked with Josh, and it was great to have that reunion,” she reveals. “I was also nervous that they would write something that would undermine Kate’s character.

“The notion that she might come back to the island and start things up with Sawyer again after three years of being involved with Jack, I was very nervous that that would happen and warrant having to justify that. Because I’m the one who has to make that believable, and if you don’t believe it, then it’s hard to make other people believe it. But they didn’t do that.”

Lilly adds, “It’s a very intense thing for both of them; I don’t think Kate realized he was even alive still. The last time she saw him, he had jumped out of a helicopter, was swimming in an ocean, to an island that, minutes later, disappeared.

“So for all intents and purposes, Kate thinks he’s dead. She really is holding out a little measure of hope that he’s alive, but the skeptic and the realist within her is saying he’s dead. So to see him again, more than being intense and romantic, it’s just intense and shocking.” Snippets: Found at and thanks to SpoilersLOST.

Sawyer in the 1970s: Some LOST scoop?

I'm hearing that he and Jin will be in that fabulously groovy decade for three whole years and that...wait for it...Jin might speak far better English now! Hooray for more Daniel Dae Kim screen time and multisyllabic words!

In re: LOST, are we ever going to see Richard Alpert in a scene with Mrs. Hawking? I feel like those two are Island gods who must know each other.

When we recently spoke to Fionnula Flanagan, she told us that she hasn't had any scenes yet with Nestor Carbonell, but, "Perhaps I have in some previous existence, or in some previous materialization of Mrs. Hawking, but it hasn't come to light yet." You'll note that doesn't rule out encounters between young Ellie (if that is Mrs. Hawking in an earlier life) and Richard Alpert in the past.

LOST Holiday Fan Video *Spoilers* (Scenes and quotes involving Season 5)

Penny and Desmond

When season five begins, Desmond and Penny are living happily ever after, but by the end of the first hour their fairy-tale bliss is interrupted by a message from...?

Charlotte and Daniel

Absent-minded professor Daniel Faraday has a crush on Charlotte (aka the girl Sawyer calls "Ginger" for her red hair), and she's definitely going to appreciate his affection in S5.

Sun and Jin

Sun believes that Jin is dead... In the premiere she forges a questionable new alliance designed to help her wreak vengeance.

Kate and Sawyer

As far as Sawyer knows, the freighter blew up with Kate on in it. Two quotes form him in the premiere: "I wanted to make sure she—I wanted to make sure they got back to the boat. Doesn't matter now, does it?" and "Everybody I care about just blew up on your damn boat. I know what I can't change."

Kate and Jack

If you've been watching this show from Season One you know that the only satisfying conclusion for many viewers is to end in S6 with Jack and Kate or "Jate" as a couple.

Juliet and Jack

I think "Jacket" has run it's course and Season Five will feature lots of sexual tension between Sawyer and Juliet.

Source

From the show runners: 1. The four-toed statue will be revisited in season five, and explored more extensively in season six.

2. They killed Alex because, says Carlton, they were "looking for a way to create a moment of sympathy for Ben."  (In other words she served as a plot device.)

And Ben is out for revenge. ('Ya think?)

NEW! LOST (12.02.08) Episode 5.01 - Because You Left - Sneak Peek (Kate & Aaron)

As sneak peeks go this one is not very um,"peeky." Once again new pieces are being added to previously-released promos for LOST: Season Five. We already knew that Kate was packing her bags furiously, including a Glock pistol, and was whisking little Aaron off to parts unknown. This clip shows you the impetus for her hurried departure. Also thanks to The ODI via SpoilerTV for the screen caps from this clip.

Aaron

Jack and Aaron

 

Bad guys.

Kate

Packing heat

 

"Where are we going, Mommy?"

 

Here is yet another version of this preview with one new bit of dialogue between Sun and Jack.

NEW! LOST Season 5 - ABC Trailer #6 Screen Caps, Stills

Two new LOST Season 5 Promos have been released by ABC. The first one has a couple of new scenes, one with Desmond telling Penny that "Everyone on that island is in danger," also Richard Alpert telling John Locke that "the only way to save the island is to get your people back here."

Also: A "blast" from the past- S-3, E-23 =

LOST: Charlie's Death Scene

With Desmond Hume, Charlie Pace, and evil, why won't he just die Mikhail, or "Patchy" as he was occasionally referred to. Also: Featuring the voice of Penelope "Penny" Widmore (Sonya Walger).

Screencaps: thanks goes to: 4815162342.pl

There are quite a lot of Easter-egg-type scenes intercut into each promo preview for Season 5 of LOST (January 21, 2009). Some are as simple to see as the one below--just by pausing the promo video. The people who enjoy analyzing the promos keep pulling snippets out that, put together, in some cases show parts of full scenes from the upcoming season. Some scenes are previously shown, of course. Just in case we'd forgotten. lol.  There is another new official promo video--released the same time as this one. It has mostly previously aired scenes. I'm guessing it'll be easy to find if you wish to click through. Images from the most recent official ABC promo video~

 

This was really easy to find--more Dharma Initiative. Speculation that Season 5 finishes the Dharma story are welcome words to my ears. Yes, please--stick a fork in it.

This is from ABC Trailer 6 video (current as of today).
I hadn't realized when I'd seen this scene before. Hurley has blood just pouring on his upper right side (he's running and I think he's w/Sayid). I hope it is someone's else's!

Previously capped (a stuntman!): John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) plunging to his...

 

They've shown what I think is the immediate aftermath of this previously:

 

Ouch.

Des (Henry Ian Cusick) is telling Penny (Sonya Walger) that he's going back to the Island.

 

That is not a happy face.

 

I think Sayid and Hurley are in this SUV. It appears they are in the middle of some chaos.

 

OMG! Evangeline Lilly, "Kate" looks about 50 years old here! I thought it was some kind of flash way forward but since "freckles" are about all she's wearing on her face and she looks distressed perhaps that explains things.

One in the series of preview-promos. I hadn't realized that Hurley (Jorge Garcia) is covered in blood. He's also wearing what appears to be a hospital gown.

 Season Five promo (Matthew Fox)

Ethan Rom? Hard to say. It would be odd to see that guy again since he's dead but such is LOST--as the most missed "dead" actor from LOST says," "In the rules of Lost...is anyone really dead?"

In promos that show John Locke's face he looks like he's looking at something/one terrifying.

 

Bad things happening around Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell)

 

OMG no! Not another hatch-like looking thing!

 

Sawyer, Juliet (Josh Holloway, Elizabeth Mitchell) Anyone want to speculate about future possibilities?

First Official Season 5 LOST CAST Photo, NEW Spoilers! Episode 5.04 -"The Little Prince" Call Sheet, The Fray "You Found Me" Music Video

First Official Season 5 LOST Cast Poster in HQ courtesy of Dark UFO

New footage from LOST: Season Five just premiered as part of The Fray's new video for "You Found Me." With the premiere of LOST less than two months away, the publicity machine is ramping up to high gear. Please follow my weekly, photo-intense recap as well as news about  LOST at The Love You Make --though much of my LOST archive is here. LOST Season 5 Premieres January 21, 2009, 8 p.m. but I'm sure there will be plenty of previews before that time.

EDIT/

From my favourite LOST spoiler site:

If you like me haven't been following spoilers for Season 5 you need to brace yourself because everything is new--and some big stuff is getting out. Enlarge this: Episode 5.04 - The Little Prince - Call Sheet and start speculating!

Despite the long and winding road that has been LOST's path, many people remain devoted fans of the show. With the unique situation of knowing the show's end date--it runs through Season 6--it may perhaps be easier to get on board with watching the series finish out. Regardless, the music video does help one to believe that LOST still holds a lot of promise.

Because it's been shown before in prior video bits (see below) of Season 5, I think we are supposed to wonder why John Locke has a compass embedded in his palm. He appears to have woken up and it's just there--in his hand. Ick.
Many of the scenes in the music video are scenes that have already been shown in previous "sneak peeks" intercut with the more recent scenes that have not previously been broadcast.

I was heartened to see "Daniel Faraday" on several occasions as Jeremy Davies is one of my favourite actors on the show. Of course, seeing Daniel in several new scenes takes the mystery out of what may have happened to the people on the life raft when the sky turned purple and the Island disappeared. Obviously at least Daniel survived.

Of course, the shippers are playing up the Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliette (Elizabeth Mitchell) angle. <gag>

I've never been an especially big fan of Sawyer hooked up with anybody in particular and I think pairing him up with the brainy Juliette is stretching credulity just a bit too far.

We all know that in the hierarchy of needs that human beings first and foremost need food, shelter and safety-- and sex is fun time and since it appears that the island gang has gotten themselves into serious do-do, sex, though it may be on the minds of the audience is probably not a practicality unless the showrunners contrive a scene. So on second thought, there will be sex.

I think LOST plays best when it's doing the action-adventure-smoke monster thing. All the Dharma Initiative stuff should have been dealt with--it's been four years, for goodness sake! I've stopped caring--and who has time to be futzing with codes and such. Just give us good characters, great story lines, adventure, mystery, scary monsters--that is after all what we signed on for.

The characters and their relationships and have been inconsistent in their quality, and some have literally been shredded by the show runners. There have been many occasions where a LOST character has been assassinated by the script.

John Locke (Terry O' Quinn) was much-beloved and then he morphed into a guy we didn't know with zilch to like. Michelle Rodriguez as Ana-Lucia never even had a chance to show what she could do before in a very stupid turn the story took Michael (Harold Perrineau) killed both she and Libby (Cynthia Watros).  With Michael's character as well they'd never given him a chance--then wrote him stupid. A shame as Perrineau is a proven talent.

With each new season since S-1 there have been many wasted opportunities for potential storylines with both it's well-utilized and wasted characters,

There is a chance at redemption for the last two season of LOST-- and of course redemption is a huge theme throughout LOST.

I've watched it from Day 1 but in case you haven't, ABC attempts to explain the byzantine nature of who exactly is who and how do they fit in the big picture (takes you to ABC.com official LOST site.)

So here's hoping that LOST, Season Five in this, it's second to last season will earn again the moniker 'great television'--a great show--that they have not attained since Season One. Watching the video got me pretty jazzed. So kudos to the marketing people. Mark your calendars, folks -- January 21,  2009 at 8 PM Eastern is the premier of LOST, Season Five. Be there or be square.

I've been sitting on a few spoilery items regarding the Season 5 Premiere of LOST, sort of waiting until I got ahold of something a bit more...satisfying. Well, today a 15-second teaser was released within which sharp-eyed folks can note that there is 1. a compass in John Locke's hand which points southeast and 2. Hurley is holding a gun with a silencer like some kind of secret agent man.

From Kristin at E!

"Q: What else can you tell us about Michelle Rodriguez's return to Lost? —Elana
A: Considering that neither M.Rod nor the show's producers want to discuss Ana Lucia's one-episode resurrection, not much! But the badass will reappear in this season's second episode — the same one that marks the return of Cheech Marin as Hurley's dad. This suggests to me that the hour is likely Hurley-centric and, given his encounter with Charlie's ghost last season, his run-in this time with Ana Lucia will also be imaginary..."

The official titles for the first six episodes are:
Episode 5.01 - Because You Left
Episode 5.02 - The Lie
Episode 5.03 - Jughead
Episode 5.04 - The Little Prince
Episode 5.05 - This Place Is Death
Episode 5.06 - The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham

NEW UPDATE: The LOST Season Five premiere will actually be a three-hour "event." <Man, I cannot sit for three hours. Bless you, sweet DVR.> An hour-long recap special will air at 8 PM, followed by the first two episodes from 9-11 PM. The series will air thereafter at 9 PM on Wednesdays.

The Fray "You Found Me" Music Video

Sept 4, 2008~ NEW LOST Casting: Zuleikha Robinson-- It's Pronounced Zoo-lika

It's seems Ausiello had the big casting scoop for Season 5 of ABC teevee's LOST but I found the information at the No. 1 Source of Spoilers

The scoop?

(Please keep in mind that Season Five of LOST does not actually start for five more months.)
This woman----->

LOST Spoilers helpfully provided the phonetic pronunciation of Zuleikha Robinson's first name: Zoo-Lika. 

Zuleikha Robinson was last seen on Fox’s series New Amsterdam, but has also co-starred in HBO's mini-series Rome as Gaia (above), the film Hidalgo, and has lots of other work on her resume as well.

In the first the first major casting for Lost's fifth season it was confirmed by LOST insiders that  Robinson will play the pivotal role of Illana, described as "a European female who possesses great intelligence, but who's also dangerous as all get out. She's alluring and apparently used to getting her own way."

Zuleikha Robinson is slated to be on LOST as a recurring player in S5 and if we really like her there's the possibility of her moving up to series regular in the sixth and final season.

LOST's Matt Fox, Eve Lilly In Salary Negotiations For January 2009, Season 5

ABC has quietly started renegotiation with Lost actors Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly to beef up their paychecks, currently at about $150,000 per episode.

However, word of the talks leaked out by Friday, prompting reps for some of the other regulars to call the studio to open their own renegotiation. The majority of the “Lost” supporting players are in the $80,000-90,000 per episode range.

LOST: What's New In Season 5?

Source

I'm sure some of us are hankering for LOST tidbits and I've found a few which were revealed at Comic-Con a few weeks ago:

The big news is the adding of two new characters one male, one female--sort of typical dangerous and/or mysterious LOST-types. See more here.

Other news includes the dark and handsome, "Richard" (Alpert) returning with some substantial screen time. Also the showrunners are proclaiming flashbacks and forwards will "have a whole new meaning."

Danielle Rousseau (photo)

Jin will be back but it was not revealed if he's dead or alive. My money, if I were a betting type, would be that eventually he'll be reunited with Sun and their tot, if not in S5 than in S6.

In news that makes me say "yay!" it was "suggested strongly" that Jeremy Davies' character Daniel Faraday survived. Further, Faraday's notebook "will play a prominent role" this season.

Kind of surprisingly Rousseau's (Mira Furlan) back-story will finally be revealed but not in a flashback episode. It was so stupid to kill her off. Please, showrunners, resurrect Danielle Rousseau!

Click for much MORE!!!!! LOST~ Season Finale Episode 4.13, Part 2B - There’s No Place Like Home (Part 3) *SPOILERS*

Above is where you want to click to get the scoop on the ghost/supernatural aspects of LOST's Season Four Finale. The link goes to a sister blog of this one. If you are a LOST fan you'll want to check it out as there are things caught in screen shots that you may have missed.

The ground that is left to cover in the densely packed last quarter of the two hour final is the rescue of the LOSTIES from sea after their helicopter crashed into the sea and their faked rescue a week after that.

Also: Bonus Video: The Penny and Desmond Reunite on the Searcher (boat) scene!

So sweet! Previously, on LOST. The sky has turned pink and the helicopter full of LOSTIES, having run out of fuel, crashes into the ocean.
I did mucho screen capping and I'm pretty sure this one is mine but all of them are always property of ABC

This is perhaps my favourite screen shot from the entire finale. LOVE the look on Aaron's face--got the lip curled, just on the verge of letting loose with a wail. Poor kid. He's not digging any of this. Hurley is darling as well but you know what they say about being in a scene with children or pets...

The helicopter crashed but everyone emerged relatively unscathed (Desmond had drowned for about 2 minutes but Doc Jack did mouth to mouth).

From E! "Kristin"
Jack leaned back in the rubber boat and sighed with relief, "It's OK...It's OK...we're alive." Kate and Sun, despite being alive themselves, had brilliant expressions that read something like, "Speak for yourself, dumbass!" Can't wait for those two grieving widows to discover their lovers (and friends) are alive... and need a ride back home from purgatory.

Pen to the Rescue!

Promo photo: Kate and little Turniphead's "stand-in"

 

It is decided that the group will travel 3000 miles to be re-rescued on a remote island. Des and Penny go their own way, everyone agree to lie about the circumstances of the crash, the time on the Island, and their real rescue.

After the jump: The Faked Rescue

LOST - Season 4 Finale : Episode 13 (Part 2/3) - "There's No Place Like Home" *SPOILERS*

The next montage for Season 4, LOST finale pics w/commentary.

I'm assuming you viewed the show so know that some of the Scooby gang, our Losties got off the Island.

It turned out with this two-part ending that most of the cool visuals came at the end and so too, were the cool screen caps.

The other screen caps from the first half of the 2-part LOST Season Four Finale are here, at another blog of mine. I decided to spread the LOST love a bit.

 
Kate with "Little Turniphead"

Bad Things happened over a short span of last moments, however the best was played by Yunjin Kim. Sun's screams--shrieks, really, reacting to the freighter exploding after just missing getting Jin into the copter, were spine-tingling.
So here is the Freighter exploding (CGI --not awesome) and Sun (and  the other Losties with her) reacting to seeing Jin blown up--awesome. 
\

Sun--on the freighter just prior to escape~

 

 

Jin misses his ride.

 












 

Stuntman/woman: Rule number One: Whenever possible, obstruct your face (Click to see how much _not_ like "Frank Lapidis" the actor's stand-in looks like.)

 

So the freighter was wired to a dead man's trigger and that "dead man" was Keamy courtesy of multiple stabs to the throat from Ben.

A Desmond reaction shot.

LOST Season 4, E13 Finale, "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1 & 2"~ Previews *SPOILERS*

EDIT/ NEW Preview (#6)

I think we may be breaking the fourth wall again but still, Miles is pretty amusing.

Epic luls!

As you know  this week spells the END of LOST for many, many months. The previews that Kristin from E! has helpfully posted offer a tasty sampling of what to expect this Thursday night at 9.p.m Eastern/8 p.m. Central for the 2-hour season finale. There are a couple that I find more interesting than the others (no pun intended).

Here's Kate in a situation with Keamy. Whenever he's around there is lots of gun play though our Losties are pretty fond of arms themselves.

Jack and Locke seem to be having one last go-'round before Jack leaves the island. There doesn't appear to be any love LOST between the two.

I found the other three previews kind of "meh" but here's the LINK  if you are interested.

Episode Detail: There's No Place Like Home - Lost
As the fourth season comes to a close, the face-off continues between the survivors and the freighter people, and the Oceanic 6 find themselves ever closer to rescue. Walt: Malcolm David Kelley. Michael's Mom: Starletta DuPois. Richard Alpert: Nestor Carbonell. Christian Shephard: John Terry. Penny: Sonya Walger. Charles Widmore: Alan Dale. Dr. Marvin Candle: Francois Chau.

Lost: 4.12 “There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1”*SPOILERS*

There's No Place Like Home, Part 1 (Season finale, part 1) Airdate: May 15, 2008, Part Two Preview video (bottom)

Synopsis: The face-off between the survivors and the freighter people begins.

The Big Save~ a future rescue of six Losties, including "5-week-old"* Aaron--this week’s episode showed the Oceanic Six on the day they earned their name.(above)

*as per Kate's response to a newsies' query about how could he be the age the Losties claim? In Island time he is about 2 months old and though this is "fake" Aaron (above, hidden), there have been about 30 living Aaron's (and currently, an Aaroness!)-- kid's portraying him, according to Jorge 'Hurley" Garcia on his blog, Dispatches From The Island (he's pictured with five of them, including the fake Aaron in the link).

At a before time: Sayid’s trying to rescue the survivors~

Despite the fact that he has the background of a killer and apparently also becomes one in the future, Island Sayid, that bit of torture he did on Sawyer not withstanding, is a pretty good guy. Showrunners: Please do not kill off one of your and LOST's biggest assets.                

Sayid somewhat reluctantly gives the keys to the lifeboat to the Doc with the bad memory:

Doc refreshes his memory. (below)

Yes, the Orchid Station, Charlotte. We have to get off this Island NOW!

Charlotte reacts in her typical way with "the face." Here however, she actually appears to be helping.

Juliet’s had very little to do other than fuss over things--mostly Jack and a bit about Sun.

Juliet tells everyone that Sun is pregnant so should get on the raft first. The red (faded red=pink) shirted-guy in back is showing up a lot. Hasn't spoken yet. I think he's dead in the next deadly battle. We'll have a hazy recollection of him when he goes down--sort of like "Froghurt."

Jack and Kate are running through the woods because the sat phone says so...or something.

The phone part of the phone is not functional...it's set to track the helicopter...when Jack meets him later, pilot Frank Lapidis tells them he set it up so Jack et al could find the helicopter. It seems like he's trying to help.

Can't call, only track...and remember, Kate's a tracker...

She stoops to get some water and looks at Jack's...stomach area...

...and sees yucky stuff which Jack denies is his stitches tearing...                                  

Is that an infection or are you just glad to see me?                                     

They continue their trek and comes across Sawyer, Aaron, and Miles.

Sawyer explains that Claire has gone missing and Hurley is on his way to the Orchid with Ben and Locke.

Jack: Sad about Claire

In concurrent Island time: Ben and Co. are heading to the Orchid Station where Keamy and Co. await.

Sawyer decides if dying is good enough for Jack, it's good enough for him as well and he goes after Jack, the two heading to the Orchid Station, where essentially everyone else is either headed or already there.

In the Future~ 

Family reunions~
I love reading other people's takes on "poor Kate." (The Official LOST site has the best "Kate has redeemed herself" stuff.) Her mum--the woman whose (presumably second) husband was killed by Kate--didn't greet her at the airport and that makes her a bad mum.

Um. hello. Thousands of possible reasons "why," but how 'bout very soon (as evidenced by the scenes at Kate's future trial where Jack testifies and where baby Aaron is still very much a baby--same set of actors playing him that are playing two-month Aaron right now,) mom is at death's door? Again.                                                                                            

From l to r: Jack's Mom, Sun's dad and mom, Hurley's mom and dad~

Jack's mom: last time we heard from her was not her best moment.

JUMP for more~~~~~~

Kristen ~ LOST Scoop from the Upfronts *SPOILERS*

From Watch With Kristen at the ABC Fall Upfronts.

IN Re: LOST upcoming episode. *SPOILERS*

"These two are piloting a Coast Guard transport that's bringing the Oceanic Six back to the mainland. Michelle Forbes is an Oceanic Airlines rep, strapped into the jump seat immediately behind the pilots. The pilots tell Forbes they're approaching the Tarmac....."

OMG. Ha! Michelle Forbes. Awesome. This lady will be good in this role, I'm certain of it. She starred in Razor, a Battlestar Galactica film last year. Also memorably, considering her self-imposed short stint on Star Trek: TNG  as Bajoran on-off-on Maquis, Lt. Ro Laren. And a bunch of other non-scicnce fiction-tyep stuf that I didn't watch. She was said when she quit Star Trek because she doesn't like science fiction. I guess anything to pay the rent now though, huh Michelle? :p

And she's meeting another 6!

The Oceanic 6! :)

Last she met a Six was in Razor when Six (Gina) shot her between the eyes. It was quite memorable.

These show runners are so cutesy with their little nods to one another. *SPOILERS*

..."Jack speaks for the group and says that's fine, they're prepared to answer any questions. Michelle Forbes leaves, tottering back to the cockpit in her stilettos..."

"...Jack says they all know the story, but if they get any questions they can’t answer, the press will just assume they're in shock. Sun: "Jack, we are in shock..."

"...All three clans are overjoyed to see each other. Sayid and Kate have no families greeting them..."

"... Kate holds on tight to baby Aaron and looks around, all alone..."

Great! Jack is still acting like himself. An ass.

I want know if Jack's dad is there to greet him only just Jack can see him. LOL.

Lost: Season 4, Episode 11~ “Cabin Fever” *SPOILERS*

Is Claire Dead? Or just really, really happy?

Some Clarity Or, Sometimes A Bracelet Is Just A Bracelet:~

Previously on LOST~ There's been buzz on Episode 10, "Something Nice Back Home" due to the timing of the baseball game, in particular. I know nothing about the timing of baseball games unless the Cubs are in the World Series so this is what is being said by others (not Others): Some are insisting it was the August, 2006 series but a screen cap shows that there’s a reference to that game as being a year earlier, so this would put the date of the baseball series at August, 2007. Which takes us back to the days in which the showrunners hadn't quite grasped the tenacity/insanity of (some) LOST viewers who meticulously take screen caps and work on them until they find something, dammit! So the date on the newspaper, April 5, 2007, in the episode, “Through the Looking Glass” was just a date used by the props people. <sad face>

LOST~ " Cabin Fever"

Meet John Locke's mom, "Emily" who is about to go our on a date with a "man twice her age."

Instead, she gets hit by a car and goes into premature labour:

Though she seems concerned about young John, later she wants nothing to do with him.

But someone does:

The ever-youthful Richard Alpert appears at prematurely born Locke's hospital nursery, then seems to monitor him as his goes from an infant to a little boy.

"Destiny, John, is a fickle bitch.” (Ben)

What was the point of yet another John Locke flashback?

Lessee.

Richard! Alpert pays young John a visit in his foster home.

Richard appears at John's foster home (why are foster parents on teevee always so mean?) claiming to be a recruiting agent for a special school.

He's got some items for the perhaps age 5 or 6 y.o. John that he tells the boy some of which "belong to (him)." Richard lays out the items which include a baseball glove, a book titled Book of Laws, a vial of sand (?), a compass, a comic book called Mystery Tales, and an old knife. He asks little-boy John to choose the items which belong to him. John chooses the sand and the compass, obvious references for viewers, to the Island. Apparently, John chooses wrong because Richard gets all huffy and leaves abruptly.

Screen caps of the items are shown below:

LOST - S4.10 "Something Nice Back Home"

LOST - "Something Nice Back Home"   

Directed by: Stephen Williams
Written by: Jeffrey Lieber
J.J. Abrams
First Aired: MAY 1

When Jack's health is seriously compromised, Kate and Juliet must learn to work together in order to save him; and something goes wrong as Sawyer, Claire, Aaron and Miles continue their trek away from Locke's camp and back to the beach.

RECAP:
First for the good stuff. For about five  minutes "in the future" Jack and Kate reunite and are happy; he even proposes! (This is post-Kate's trial.)

Of course Jack cannot be happy for more than 5 minutes so....continuing in this time frame, Jack sees his dead dad:

...several times in fact...and as per his usual reaction Jack gets really wigged out...and after being summoned by Hurley's Dr. when Hurley stops sleeping and taking his meds., Jack goes to Hurley's mental hospital for a chat...

...with sad, "crazy" Hurley who speaks about regular visits from dead Charlie. Hurley tells Jack he stopped taking his medicine "because we're all dead." He believes that the Oceanic Six are all dead because everything that was happening was too perfect. Hurley had a message for Jack from Charlie, "You're not supposed to be raising him." Jack gets upset stating that that doesn't make any sense, but Hurley tells Jack one more thing: Charlie said someone's going to be visiting you, too -- soon.

This freaks Jack out more because he's already seeing dead Dad.

Jack's heavily in denial--maybe even more than we thought since, as Hurley says they "are all dead."

Jack was upset about what Hurley said and he asked Kate if she really thought he was "good at this." Then he asked her to marry him. Quick! What would be your first guess about her answer? You are right! Sort of... It's more like yes for now. You know how our Kate is. ;)
What? Being a Mom made her a saint?
Jack does have reason to be suspicious of her. He just doesn't have a reason or right to be surprised by it.

Jack looks especially anguished as he's asking Kate for her hand in marriage.

So, despite his impending matrimonial bliss and current domestic state, Jack is very anxious as his colleague notes at his swanky medical suites when he asks her for a script for anti-anxiety medication.

Above he is pictured after changing out a bad smoke detector alarm battery and before he see's his father 's ghost again. Enlarge the photo so you can see where Jack's name is on the practice's sign.

When he got home, Jack heard Kate talking to someone named Noreen. Kate said she was a mom from the park. Jack hadn't heard of this person and clearly wondered whether this was the visitor Hurley had mentioned. He popped a couple of pills and downed them with a beer. IMDb

Jack sabotages his relationship with Kate by getting drunk and quizzing her on her every move.
She'll only fess up to doing something Sawyer had asked her to do.
The general consensus from fans is that she is meeting with Cassidy, Sawyer's lovechild Clementine's mom.

He shouts at her after she refers to baby Aaron as "my child" that Aaron is "not even related" to her.
This is a broad hint that Jack in the future knows that he and Claire share the same father.

So it seems that Jack has done it again and there won't be any more of these kind of moments... (For the Jaters)

...until as Kate says, he "gets help."

Meanwhile...or in this episode--time is relative after all:

Having been warned by pilot Frank Lapidis just seconds earlier that Keamy and his men are on the way Sawyer, Claire and Miles, and baby Aaron had some harrowing moments whilst Lapidis begged Keamy and Co. to hurry up and get back to the 'copter because it was getting dark.

Apparently "Smokey" didn't do a very good job of dispatching with these guys.

Safe for the moment, Claire, Sawyer, Aaron and freaky Miles start their trek to the beach anew.

It doesn't take long for Miles to start freaking out.

They are literally standing on the very shallow graves of who they identify through this scene as the French woman and Karl.

This looks enough like Karl to me but in what way does the face barely peeking out above this shot resemble Rousseau? Yet, all the fan boys and girls seem to be 100% certain that Rousseau is dead and suggested that the writers are trying to quell the speculation.

I'm totally not convinced because let's face it, they are making it up as they go along. If they need her--dead or alive,they'll "resurrect" her. Day-em! She never even got a backstory!

Also, why did whomever buried them bother to close their eyes? And why bury them at all if your are going to shovel only an inch of earth atop them?

Recovering from their shock, Claire, Sawyer, Aaron and freaky Miles settle in for the night but during the night Claire awakens to a visitor:

...who she calls

...Dad!













Family reunion~

In re: Christian~ Jack and Claire's Dad. In "White Rabbit," when Jack thought he saw Christian on the island, Vincent also saw him. Dogs see ghosts as does Freaky Miles. He tells Sawyer he saw Claire talking to a "man," Was he in Jacob's cabin because he is Jacob? Charlie died on the island, and now he's appearing to Hurley and telling him things, just like Christian is appearing to Jack and Claire. Is there a direct or only tenuous connection between the two?

The sun rises as does Sawyer and he realizes Claire is gone.

He searches for Claire but soon finds Aaron squalling, snug as a bug.

He seems very worried...and so ends his story for this episode.

Back at the beach: Jack told Juliet that he thought he might have food poisoning, but she figured out it was his appendix. The constant passing out kind of clued her in.They'd have to take it out.

Sun, Jin, Daniel and Charlotte are dispatched to the medical hatch for medical supplies and Sun told Jin in Korean that she doesn't think the boat people are going to help him. Charlotte kept looking at the couple as they talked. Does she know Korean? (Yes she does, as we find out later in a kinda cool but silly exchange between her and Jin.)

Juliette informs Kate that Jack wants her to be there for his surgery as he going to be awake and wants to "guide" Juliet through it  with Kate holding a mirror for him to see.

Juliette preps Jack for surgery. While we wait some scenes around camp.
(click)

Jack's surgery: Jack's kind of losing it because he wanted to guide Juliet through it, though she said she's done a bunch of them. He insisted on no anesthetic. Now he's freaking out.

Juliet orders Bernard to knock Jack out with the chloroform; Jack was yelling 'till they knocked him out. What a doofus.

Way to almost eff up your own appendectomy, Mr. Triple-Type A!

Lost: S4.09 “The Shape of Things to Come" *SPOILERS*

Previews: Lost 4x10 "Something Nice Back Home" (after jump)

Evangeline Lilly as "Kate"

• Written by Brian K. Vaughan & Drew Goddard 

• Directed by Jack Bender Originally broadcast: Thursday, April 24, 2008.

LOCKE'S CAMP COMES UNDER ATTACK, AND JACK ATTEMPTS TO IDENTIFY A BODY THAT WASHES ASHORE, ON ABC'S "LOST" 10:00 PM EASTERN/9 p.m. Central 

One of my first questions going into this episode was is Rousseau really dead? In some ways. It would be better for this character, a half-mad but sane-enough Frenchwoman, living "alone," on the Island for 17 or so years because her 16 years-lost daughter is dead after only having been reunited with her for weeks(?). In her mind, she would have nothing left to live for. The actress, Mira Furlan, did a wonderful job with the amount of screen time she was given.

So farewell, hope you come back in some way in the last two seasons, Mira Furlan. View this photo
However, for the benefit of the audience I would love to see "the Frenchwoman" alive, if only  for a chance to see her elbow Ben in the face again. One of my favourite LOST scenes ever. Despite Ben's insistence that Widmore's thugs "changed the rules," Ben is responsible for the Frenchwoman's biological daughter, Alex's death.

Jack is sick, trying to minimize the seriousness by telling Kate he has a stomach problem. He has a problem but I think it's probably an appendix that's about to burst. It would probably put him in the front of the line to be taken off the Island--which unless you are spoiler-free you know is happening soon.

The Freighter doctor washed up onshore dead, with a slit throat. Kind of upset people. Daniel Faraday, who seems to get more lines than Charlotte Lewis, immediately looked guilty. Jack said essentially, "You know this guy," and Faraday just spilled. However, after Faraday rigged a telegraph together and contacted the Freighter, he claimed that they said nothing about the doctor. Bernie the dentist called Daniel a liar and translated the message as, "There's nothing wrong with the doctor. Why are you asking?" I think this is part of the time-rift type issues and that the doctor may have indeed been yet alive on the freighter but in the time-and-space zone of the island--a later time--he is not. Plus, Daniel and Co. have been lying since they got there.

Is Sawyer really Superman?

Despite being in a hail of bullets for an extended scene, redshirts dying all around him, Sawyer emerged without a scratch (just the blood from a guy that was shot dead 2 feet in front of him). I'm finding it hard to fathom that with their indiscriminate shooting and blowing up of Claire's house in New Othertown that they were deliberately trying to miss Sawyer.

Our cowboy dodges bullets whilst trying to save Claire~

Then Claire's house explodes.

Sawyer searches for Claire

Claire better be OK 'cos baby Aaron looks none too happy with his current baby sitter, Hurley.

That portrait of Ben's dead-when-she-birthed-him mother(?) looks like it's taken from a photograph.

Hurley seems to be trying really hard, but the kid is having none of it

See! Those are real tears!

He found her! Is she breathing? Of course she is! Psych! on all the folks including me, :p who thought she was dying in this episode.

Tension mounting...will they make it?

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee try to stop Hurley from allowing Sawyer and and the semi-conscious Claire in the barricaded house.

Hurley is tired of taking orders from those two losers...he throws a chair through the window...

...allowing Sawyer to pass Claire in to him. Sawyer is the show's new Jack.
All the heroism--none of the whining!

Now Locke decides to help.

Sawyer: Not happy with Ben

Red shirts getting killed

Cute. A "redshirt" wearing...a red shirt.

ALEX IS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD

Keamy (Kevin Durand), an assassin for Charles Widmore, holds Alex hostage.

Alex (Tania Raymonde) begs Ben to save her from Keamy .

Keamy almost looks as if he cares...

Ben gets all smug, shouting Alex means nothing to him...she's just a pawn. Big mistake.

Bang

Bang

She's dead, Ben and it's your fault.

Ben seems very surprised that he doesn't control everything in this game, muttering in his shock, "He changed the rules," he being, we're to confirm later in the episode, Charles Widmore.

Dead Alex

A kiss after dying.

Before the kiss...

Ben goes into a secret room, pulls back a curtain and goes behind these doors.

Then he explains that they are all going to have to go now...

Because Ben has unleashed the smoke monster in hopes of it eating the bad guys who lurk on the fringe on the jungle.

Locke and Ben want to head to Jacob's shack but Hurley is the "only one" who knows how to find it. This is how Locke invites him to come along.

This is James' response...

Hurley tells both men to peace the spork out and to lower their guns and he agrees to go with Locke and John.

Sawyer threatens to kill Locke if "one curly hair on Hurley's head" gets harmed. Aww.

First he rescues Claire and calls her "sweetheart." Now this.

Locke says "Deal."

'Copter Pilot Frank Lapidis emerges In the jungle warning that Keamy is on his way and he'll kill them all (Sawyer, Claire, baby Aaron, and Miles). Hide!

It's impossible to keep fussy Aaron quiet.

Keamy hears the baby...

Will there be more carnage? Of course there will! Stay tuned!

Below:

A parallel storyline that given how much we know or suspect, was pretty uninteresting to me.

Ben wakes up in Tunisia.

More after the jump, including Previews for the May 1st Episode:

(above) A scene in which Ben wakes up disoriented and shaking and puking, and as the camera pulls back we see that he is in a desert-like place. It turns out to be Tunisia.

This sounds like a flashback sequence to me or a flash forward. Team Darlton (Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the showrunners) has gotten so clever about the placement of the flashbacks/forwards. But any plot device used too much begins to feel less like a story unfolding and more of a... plot device so I hope you guys reign it in a bit and come to some conclusions already!

LOST~ Season 4, Episode 8 "Meet Kevin Johnson" *SPOILERS*

"Meet Kevin Johnson"

First Aired~03/21/08
Sayid confronts Ben's spy on the freighter, and Ben urges daughter Alex to flee Locke's camp in order to survive an impending attack. Watch Official ABC LOST Full-length video of all 4 Seasons here

Things start off looking peaceful enough but as tradition on LOST dictates, they didn't stay that way very long.

It's time for a flashback! Michael (Harold Perrineau), who the audience hasn't seen for nearly 2 years (about 2 months, Island time) suddenly gets some backstory--and it's very depressing. Below, he attempts suicide. We are supposed to believe that he feels/felt so much remorse for killing Ana Lucia and Libbyduring his Island stint that he blabbed about it to  his son Waaalt! Michael's not got any ID on him but has a note to Walt pinned on his shirt, according to the Nurse Who Is Not A Ghost.

So how was Walt supposed to ever get the note? Jedi Mind trick?

Mike tries to kill himself in a couple of ways--neither are successful...

...because according to Tom Friendly, Michael can't die--the Island won't "let" him.

Worse or at least just as bad, Michael keeps seeing one of the women he killed*--Libby (Cynthia Watros)--who was introduced and killed in Season 2 as a Flight 815 Tail section survivor-sort of gf to Hurley. She is tied up in this somehow because she was married to Charles Widmore and sponsored Desmond in his round-world boat-race that landed him on the Island. Desmond also was introduced in Season 2 but he crashed on the Island in a sailboat trying to impress his estranged gf Penny Widmore, daughter of Charles, the Freighter and Oceanic Ft. 815-owner.

*This causes Michael to become even more distraught...

...as if Waaaalt! refusing to see Michael--after Michael confessed his sins to the 10-y.o.-kid-he-never knew-until-the-Island was not bad enough. Maybe Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) just really misses his dog  Vincent (still wandering the Island) and blames dad for leaving the dog behind.

And things just keep on sucking more for Mike. Mr. Friendly tells Mike that Mike has a mission and by doing so Mike can be a hero again. Mike believes this. The audience begins to remember that Mike--much like Locke, has always been a ginormous loser. Why would things be different now?

Well, one thing is different. Mike is now "Kevin Johnson." Mr. Friendly tells him he's to board Charles Widmore's freighter which is about to set sail for Craphole Island. Michael is to kill everyone on board or he is told, by the "trustworthy" Mr. Friendly, all his friends on the Island will be killed by the Freighties.

Tom Friendly's (M.C. Gainey) friend is either gay or French, possibly both. Not that it matters. Why do you think they added this dimension to Mr. Friendly? Are we going to be seeing a lot of him in the next 2.5 years, whilst the series concludes and this is their way of "fleshing out" the character?

Before Michael goes on a mission on behalf of "Ben," (why Michael, why? You are so messed up. This is not going to make Waaaalt love you) Michael demands "proof" of the assertions that the filthy rich Charles Widmore is behind the whole phony Flt. 815 with 300 bodies on it found deep in the ocean thing. Conveniently, Mr. Friendly not only has a big file all about it, but it's right there on the table like he knew Mike was going to ask that! Amazing writing, E. Sarnoff! Don't feel bad though, your boss J.J. sometimes writes as badly. More after jump.

Evangeline Lilly + Dominic Monaghan UPDATE: Back Together Or Just Friends?

April 2008 update on my other blog

March 15, 2008: Evangeline gets together with Dominic /EDIT: now with correct date

photo source

As far as fans of LOST's Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly  knew they "quietly broke up in the fall of 2007."

In honesty, we never knew much other than what we saw in photographs as the cute couple frequented the shores of Hawaii catching waves. They were together 2 or 3 years and it seemed as sure a thing as it gets in Hollywood that they'd make it official as Evie is said to be very, very, Christian.

But then at the end of last season LOST killed off Dominic's popular character on the show, "Charlie Pace," and not much later it was reported that Dominic was spotted in a popular LA club, very distraught and in the arms of a woman who was not Evangeline.

The couple, always deeply non-verbal about their relationship or lack thereof issued no statements at any time so the press has just kept guessing and assuming about their relationship status.

Why do we care? Same reason that we have cared for centuries about couples in love. It's LOVE. We all dig it.

Personally, I think Evie is an adorable, spirited Canadian gal and Dom is very talented and charming and well, frankly I was hoping for a fairy-tale ending. (You won't find me rooting for the death of other people's relationships unless they are causing harm to one another.) And though not deeply saddened when I heard rumours of their break-up, I was disappointed that a love story I'd followed came to an end.

Or did it? Above is Evie this past  weekend in Los Angeles about to attend Dominic's photo exhibition at L.A.'s Hamilton Selway Gallery!

Now, there is not a single shot of her--a model--in the exhibition and I took that to be an indication that they were not amicably split because Dominic included many actors in his exhibit including those from Lord of The Rings and LOST. Evangeline's absence seemed gaping.

But here she is in a funny wig going to Dom's gallery showing. She looks happy. I'm guessing Dom was happy, too.

If nothing else I hope they've reached a point where they can honestly be friends. I realize that it's rare, but it can be done.
Stay tuned.

More photos of the couple (in happier days(?) after the jump.

LOST~ Season 4, Episode 7 "Ji Yeon" *SPOILERS*

03/13/2008 - "Ji Yeon"

Season 4, Episode 7

First shown: Thu, March 20

Juliet is forced to reveal some startling news to Jin when Sun threatens to move to Locke's camp. Meanwhile, Sayid and Desmond begin to get an idea of the freighter crew's mission when they meet the ship's Captain.

Sun gets a wacky idea to hike to Locke's camp. No one including Kate, who draws her a map seems to have a problem with this. They are however trying to sneak away.

Oops, cog in the machinery time. Juliet, in an effort to stop Sun from hiking to Locke's camp, blurts out to Jin that Sun had an affair. This is Sun's reaction.

Flash forward! Looks like we have another Oceanic 6 survivor!

Jin is quite frantic to get to the hospital...seems obvious why but...

Whaaaaaa? (But think. Remember Panda selling guy saying it was the Year Of The Dragon? (2000)

Possibly using that Golden Pass they got from Oceanic, Hurley is there in Korea to visit Sun's little girl.

Oh no. Not looking good! Hurley says she looks just like Jin, and then tells Sun “Let's go see him.” And that's when we know that Future Jin was actually Past Jin-- it was a flashback, and Jin is actually dead.

Jin's tombstone. Oh, dear. Click to enlarge and see the date of his death.

Sun says she misses Jin.

Who, back at the Island has gone fishing with Bernard and had a good chat about Karma.

Sajid, uh, did you notice that axe in the wall of the ship? Just asking.

LOST: The Other Woman, Season 4, Episode 6 *Spoilers*

03/06/2008 - "The Other Woman"

Season 4, Episode 6

This was a Juliet-centric flashback episode wherein the LOST writer's fell back into their Season 3 device of...filler. Very. little. happened. in this episode and if it were not for the evilness which is Ben it would have been forgettable.
Ouch. I know. This is so disappointing. If you want a blow by blow of the episode you can go to ABC Online Full Episdoes of LOST where they have all kinds of LOST goodies or you can take a look right here after the jump--the story, such as it was is recapped below.

EDIT/ Jungle Whispers are here .

There was a bit of revisionist history as Juliet's flashback revealed much more than what we'd seen before from the Other's perspective when Oceanic Flight 815 went down. Specifically Goodwin, with whom Juliet had an affair also had a wife--the rather harpy-like Harper. When the pieces of the planes fell from view Ben ordered Goodwin to go find the tail section which ultimately led to his death.

Mean, creepy, cat-eyed Harper made Juliet...

...cry when she told her to quit being "The Other Woman" with Goodwin, her spouse.

Harper was not the only mean female in this episode. Charlotte Lewis appears to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Here she is, clonking our ever intrepid Kate over the noggin'.

Kate survived. Her hair in this episode was very bushy. Kinda puzzling. Maybe it was extremely humid?
Of course, it's a different colour than it was about 100 days ago, when she first crash-landed. I suppose only her hairdresser knows for sure. ;)

John Locke, victim of character assassination by the writers, made bunny for dinner. Ben asked if said bunny had "a number on it." Har. What is it with Ben and bunny wabbits?
In other news, Claire is carrying her "baby" like a sack of potatoes. Oh, wait. Nevermind.

Crisis averted (no thanks to Juliet), so time for a smooch. From what I read most of the people voicing an opinion feel that Jack and Juliet or "Jacket" have no chemistry.

I thought she did really well with Angelina Jolie in "Gia." Maybe Angie can give Matt Fox some lessons.

Prior to sucking face with Jack, Juliet went all Rambo on Daniel and Charlotte at the poison-gas- housing Tempest station.

Charlotte is about to clonk Juliet in a second. There was a girl fight but not much on camera. <sad face>

Ben--all smug and happy. He talked John into letting him "go" in exchange for info about Charles Widmore (which the audience already knew) and the identity of who Ben's supposed mole is on the Freighter. We know Micheal is on the Freighter (Spoiler--see after the jump) and he's probably Ben's "man."

Sawyer's patented WTF? look when he sees Benjy strolling the grounds of Otherville, trilling about seeing them at supper.

Before Goodwin met his demise at the hands of Ana-Lucia--who keeps getting alluded to in S-4--is there something to that or just another of those sneaky writer's tricks? Anyway above is a gratuitous boobie shot of Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliette). Goodwin awaits her on a secluded beach.

LOST - "The Constant" Season 4, Episode 5 *Spoilers*

LOST~ "The Constant": Season 4, Episode 5 *Spoilers* Sayid and Desmond run into turbulence on their way to the freighter, causing Desmond to suffer unusual side effects. Charles Widmore: Alan Dale. Penny Widmore: Sonya Walger. George Minkowski: Fisher Stevens (is dead).

OK, So everyone it seems, is ranting about how great Henry Ian Cusak was as Desmond Hume in this "Desmond with a large dash of LOST's own MacGuyver, Sayid (Naveen Andrews)"-centric episode. Both actor's are two of the show's best. Add in a smallish (but crucial) guest spot from Sonya Walger as Penelope Widmore and you have a very tight episode acting-wise. Oh, how could I forget the member that made this trio a quartet?

Be still my heart. :) Daniel Faraday played by Jeremy Davies. I'm not sure I'm alone in really liking the actor and liking him even more as his 8 years-ago self:

Eight year's ago Daniel Faraday with his rat, Eloise.

RIP Eloise. You sacrificed yourself for Science, now will Desmond have to do the same?!

Things that make you go hmmm: Island Daniel's surprisingly younger-looking-than-his-eight-years-in-the-past self. Can Daniel help Desmond to save himself? Suspense!

Meanwhile, in current Island time, isn't Elizabeth Mitchell especially pretty when she's telling someone off? :)

A Primer From The Producers of LOST on Watching LOST, Season 4 +++SPOILERS***

ZOMG, there are so many off-the cuff spoilers in this just-published interview^^^ with the producers of LOST, Damon Lindeloff and Carlton Cuse!!!

There were not even any spoilers warnings.There are spoilers here for next season, as in "We won't be dealing with that (issue) until Season Five LOST," ..."but you will know by the end of Season Four this and this" (or your money back). They are totally selling the show in a different way. Essentially guiding the audience through the maze of LOST and pulling up a comfy chair and saying, see we're accessible after all, even though we are DEFINITELY going to do more Sci-fi things! LOL It's a great interview!

OK to Eggtown.

I love Eve Lilly. She's Canadian, she's beautiful, charming, she's pure of heart and athletic and unfussy...but she cannot act (most of the time). I have 2 screen shots here where I think she does do well 'cos she's with the guy she's had the most screen time with--Jack--and I thnk Matt and Evie have a connection. And BTW, the Jaters are right--she's got way more sparks with Jack than Sawyer. This too if one looks at it  just for what it is is that Matt Fox is a pro. Eve Lilly and Josh Holloway are pretty faces trying to act (Josh, your teeth are bleached way TOO white).

This was a very well done scene on both their parts--nicely underplayed--muted, even.

With Matt Fox you can see it burbling just underneath the surface. Evie is working on it. She's close but Foxy's an ace emoter.

More after the jump including of Josh and Evie a/k/a Sawyer and Kate not making love. Yes. I said NOT! see...

Aww, so cute!
