More Season 5 Than I Can Handle ;>)

Ever since the Season 4 finale, many have been speculating whether Jin is alive or dead!?

Of course we have had several spoilers even before the Season 4 finale aired that Jin fans should not worry, because he will be seen on the island again in the future. However, we have never had anyone confirm dead or alive.

Even Damon and Carlton confirmed at Comic Con that Jin will return in some "form" stopping short of saying he was alive or dead. So once again it seems like Jin may be joining the growing list of "ghost" characters on the island.

Well here are some details from Kristin saying we will not find out what happens to Jin until episodes 4 and 5 and that his body will be found floating in the water on some of the freighter debris.

What do you all think!?

Lynn: I'm dying for some solid Lost scoop! Specifically about the Left Behinds, is there anything can you give me?!

They're going to make us sweat out the fate of Jin. We won't see him at all for the first three episodes, and it's not until episodes four and five that we'll really understand what happened to him when the freighter exploded. I am actually slightly concerned that he's dead and just hanging out on the Island in tangible-ghost form à la Jack's dad. And if that's the case, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, I am coming for you.

Rebecca in Ipswich, Mass: I'm dying for Lost!

Me, too, and hey, this just in (literally as I was hitting the button to publish this): I'm now hearing from sources that Jin will be found Leo DiCaprio-in-Titanic style, floating on a door. Alive or dead? We shall see! Place your bets below. (And personally, I'm grateful at the moment that the Island's waters don't seem too frigid.)

Set Report via DarkUFO

I know there have been alot of filming spoilers recently, but I found this one on the Lost TV spoiler forum that I don't think I've seen here or anywhere else. Some interesting stuff, that also seems to indicate that Jack is still sporting the beard of doom, and the Jack/Kate scene earlier this week seems most likely to be a flashback.

I gave you the link to thread if you want to follow up with this poster.

Here's the post:

I saw them filming yesterday right off Paiea St. by the Honolulu Airport. I got to watch just a bit and I saw Sayid & Ben in a van that had _________ Rainier Carpet Cleaning written on the side, ( Sorry, I can't remember the first part). Sayid was driving & Ben was sitting shot gun. Sayid had on a white tank top with long pants & Ben wore a dark long sleeve shirt & long dark pants. Both were dressed very casually.

The van drove up a ramp into to a covered parking area followed by a black BMW 740 Both cars had California license plates. The crew kept spraying both car with water to make it look like they had come driving in from the rain. The BMW was driven by a chauffer & in the back seat was a person (I think male) with white hair and they were not tall. The car had tinted windows so I couldn't see much of the person in the back seat.

Inside the parking structure the van pulled into an empty parking space & the BMW followed them up the ramp & pulled in the opposite way so that the cars were side by side but facing opposite directions.

They filmed a scene with the chauffer talking to Ben through the vans' window.

Jack was also there. He had on a tank top & jeans. His hair was long & messy & he had a full beard with a band-aid over his eye. He looked liked he did in last season's finale.

Didn't see any interaction with Jack & the others while I was there but he must be in the scene somehow if he was at that location.

It looked like whoever was in the back seat of the BMW had white hair & was a male. I asked one of the guys on the set if it was Charles Widmore & he said no but then he said it was a new character & he wanted me to be surprised when I watched it. But he said it with a sly smile so I don't really know if I believe him. He also said they were filming this scene for episode 4 and it should be airing about the 2nd week in February.

Locke's Mum: Rumor

Don't know if you already knew this but I just moved to LA and i was with an old friend who also happens to be a huge lost fan and he told me he had worked on a movie with the actress who played Emily Locke in Cabin Fever. He told me that she has been called back for a Lost episode this season and apparently Richard Alpert will be filming with her. Just thought that was cool and wanted to share.

MAJOR SPOILERS: Report from the Set

http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/09/major-spoilers-report-from-set.html
I've just received a VERY detailed set report from Kronos who has managed to type up his report from the filming he witnessed. This is very spoilerly so unless you want to know major plot points I suggest to don't read any further. I assume this is for Episode 5.03 or 5.04.

Ok, so the episode is all about Desmond, Penny, and Ben. There are no flashbacks or flashforwards, and it is very linear like a normal television episode. Desmond and Penny have been flying under the radar for awhile and they having a kid. They move around every few months and in this episode they are in a city named Mati.

I'll try and keep this in order.

Here are the scenes and the general background for this episode.

Penny and Desmond are living a wonderful life. Desmond wants to have a kid, Penny is uncertain. She doesn't want to raise a kid and live a nomadic lifestyle going from town to town running from their past.

Penny learns she is pregnant. Doctor gives her warnings, Desmond's sperm showed abnormalities that she could not comprehend. Scenes were filmed at a local dentists office.

Ben is hot on their trail.

Desmond buys a gun from a street dealer.

Ben and Desmond play cat and mouse in several scenes. Desmond saves Penny. Ben is angry, and lost in the world.

Ben travels to North Africa.

Brace yourself for a big spoiler

There are a handful of Dharma stations located throughout the world. They are not just on the island.

One of the stations is located in the mountains somewhere in North Africa. Ben tracks Widmore's security chief to this station. Ben tortures the man for a very long time, the man finally reveals Penny's location which is Mati.

Ben finds Penny and Desmond in Mati. Ben knocks out a cook at a crappy oceanfront restaurant. Ben poisons Penny's food.

Ben sees that Penny is pregnant. He had no idea. Ben stops the waiter from delivering the food. His quest for vengeance is apparently over for now.

Penny and Desmond are docked at the Mati harbor. Penny is having extreme pain. Desmond rushes to a nearbye village to get a doctor.

Desmond and the Doctor rush back to the boat. Desmond sees Ben on his knees crying in an alley.

Desmond and the village doctor head inside the boat. Penny is in grave condition. The doctor is clueless as to why. Penny delivers the kid, and the doctor tells Desmond to take the boat to a near-bye coastal village.

We watched as the actor playing Desmond runs from the village and he's having some sort of crazy body spasms and it was hilarious to watch this actor do this over, and over, and over. Can't explain the whole body spasms part, you have any ideas?

I think I might have made a mistake about saying it's a linear episode. I think after the Ukoa pond scenes, something happens to Desmond and he starts bending time again or traveling back in time

1000th Post

Well 1,000 posts ago back in March I started this blog as a way to share photos and spoilers with my friends over at the Aint It Cool Lost Talkback http://www.aintitcool.com/talkback_display/36908#comment_2087242 that been going ever since the Season 3 finale, since there was no way to do it there . I never would have imagined that it would have turned into something as big as it has. Now we have about ten other posters helping out in making this blog a great as it can be. We have posters who are sharing their writing, video editing and artistic talents like Napoleon Park, Edshrinker, Red Toad an myself. We have found a way to hide spoilers for those who want to remain spoiler free. There is also all manner of videos & photos.

I can't wait to see what we come up with during the next 1,000 posts. Onward & Upward!

Seven new characters that worked

Posted Sep 30th 2008 2:01PM by Kelly Woo

The genius that was Amy Ryan's Holly beatboxing on The Office last week got me thinking about other cast additions that have made shows better.

The first that came to mind was actually another Amy Ryan role -- Beadie on season two of The Wire. It took awhile for me to get into the whole dockworkers storyline, but it was Beadie that helped me through.

If a show plans to stay on air for awhile, it needs fresh blood -- but the process of introducing new characters isn't easy (witness how reviled Maya was on Heroes). The best new additions combine great actors with well-written characters.

Here are seven other (fairly recent) new characters that succeeded.

1. Desmond on Lost: His and Penny's love story always brings a tear to my eye, and 'The Constant' was the best episode of Season 4. And I'm not gonna argue with adding even more man candy to Lost.

2. Ben on Lost: I didn't want to highlight more than one character from a show, but it's impossible to leave Ben (Michael Emerson) off this list. Ben Linus is one of the creepiest, most manipulative and fascinating characters on TV. He's basically the reason I watch mindless reality TV after Lost (so as not to have bad dreams).

3. Amber AKA "Cutthroat Bitch" on House: Yeah, they killed her off, but before (and after) she died, Amber shook things up between House and Wilson -- much needed on a long-running procedural.

4. Archie Morris on ER: Scott Grimes came on as an inept resident who provided some comic relief to all the bloody drama. But he stuck around and became the heart, if not the lead, of the show. His reaction to Pratt's death last week proved it.

5. Katharine Mayfair on Desperate Housewives: We can all agree the show was circling the drain after the failed Applewhite mystery. But Dana Delany brought a breath of fresh air to Wisteria Lane -- and made a great foil for Marcia Cross. I can't wait to see them continue to cross knives.

6. Mahone on Prison Break: He started off as Michael Scofield's nemesis in season two and turned into an uneasy ally. And Mahone's infinitely more interesting than Lincoln, Sucre, Bellick, etc. William Fichtner rocks.

7. Callie on Grey's Anatomy: If nothing else, Sara Ramirez's ortho doc helped break up the incestuous sludge that was George/Meredith/Alex/Izzie/Cristina -- at least for a little while. But we'll have to wait and see on the Callie/Hahn hook-up.

Promising additions this season (but too soon for a final judgment)
Major Hunt (Kevin McKidd) on Grey's Anatomy
Daphne (Brea Grant) on Heroes

Who do you think were the most successful TV cast additions recently?

Whole Foods in Honolulu

Karen and I went to the new Whole Foods Market that just opened in Honolulu. It's in the Kahala Mall, so we also went to the toy store and Jamba Juice.


Malls here are a bit different than what I was used to on the mainland. For one, they usually aren't isolated large buildings. They are usually several connected buildings with relatively little parking and many entrances and exits. Sometimes stores will have outside facing doors and sometimes they will have inside facing doors. So you can have a store, such as a grocery store, with an outside facing entrance that is technically part of the mall, but appears to exist on its own.


Neither of us were new to Whole Foods. I'd been several times in Atlanta and then again in Boston. It's got some good stuff, but only if your paycheck can support it. Whenever I went there, it was to buy only a few things. I couldn't afford to do all of my shopping at Whole Foods. Funny, that still holds true.


They have a decent selection of Hawaii-grown produce, which is cool. They also carry Seventh Generation products (but those are also at the store Down To Earth in Honolulu as well), which I bought frequently in Boston. Here it's a bit more expensive, but that's because it's hauled out here to this island.


We purchased a few things and decided to leave. On the way out, Karen saw Jorge Garcia coming in to the store. She wanted to covertly point him out without making a scene. She called him 'Hurley', his character's name on LOST. I didn't make the connection. I thought she was pointing a Hurley shirt or something. Eventually I got it and I saw him walking up and, like an idiot, I pointed at him and said, "oh yeah, that is Jorge Garcia."


He was on his phone and headed in to the store. We were headed out. If we had bumped in to him in the store, I probably would have said hi. Oh well.

Season 5 Casting Update Spoiler

Season 5 Casting Update - Goodspeed Returns
http://lostspoilers-odi.blogspot.com/2008/09/season-5-casting-update-goodspeed.html
That is right Losties, Horace Goodspeed, everyone's fun-loving weed smoking-hippie Dharma Initiative member will be returning for season 5 in a recurring role.

Doug Hutchison who plays Goodspeed confirmed to SciFi Wire that he will be returning for at LEAST 4 episodes this season, but has no idea how the LOST producers plan on bringing him back to the show. However, he did use the word "resurrection" when speculating on what he thinks how Goodspeed will return.

This new pretty much confirms the rumors that Season 5 will give us more back ground about the Dharma Initiative.Here is a little snippet from the article: Goodspeed was introduced, and died, within one episode. "So imagine my surprise when this past season, I get a call from my agents [saying], 'They want you again on Lost,'" Hutchison said. "I said, 'Well, wait a minute. Are these more flashbacks?' They said, 'No. It's current.' I said, 'I'm dead!' And they said, 'Yeah, well it's Lost.'"

"I got the script, and sure enough, now Horace Goodspeed…I don't know," Hutchison added. "I don't know what's going on. Nobody knows what's going on on that island, but I'm either a ghost or a memory, a figment of one's imagination or a piece of the island. I could be I'm conjured by the island. I shot that out in a day, and now I got a call from my agent about a month ago saying, 'Lost would like to have you do at least four episodes for this coming season, pending your availability.' I don't know what they have up their sleeve. I'm lost!"All Hutchison really knows is, Goodspeed will be "resurrected in some incarnation."

Horace Goodspeed & Jin

Doug Hutchison says he's back for at least four episodes as hippie Dharma Initiative member Horace Goodspeed on Lost this season. [Sci Fi Wire]

Also, we won't see Jin at all in the first three episodes of the new season, and we'll learn his fate in episodes four and five. And it turns out he's the guy who turns up, floating on a door in the middle of the ocean. But is he alive or dead? Will he be in the show as a ghost? No clue yet. [E! Online]

Ezra James Sharkington

During the last few weeks I have been seeing how many Sharks Designs I could create by changing shapes, proportions & styles. It struck me while I was doing this that I could clean one of them up slap a Dharma Logo and add him to the Hatch Illustration. Then we would have our very own Ezra James Sharkington. I also figured that it would be fun to have everyone decide on which one I clean up. So I created a poll. Vote on which ones are your favorite & the one with the most votes will go in the header illustration.

“LOST” on Stormy Seas

SPOILER ALERT! When the sun goes down on Friday, most people rejoice at the end of the work week. Today, however, sunset meant things were just getting started for the “LOST” production crew. They commandeered the swimming pool at Kaneohe District Park, converting it into a film-studio-grade water tank. The floor of the pool was blacked out, black canvas was hung around the perimiter, and they also put up giant fans, crane-mounted lights, and huge rain rigs and pumps. (More setup photos here.) Filming continued all through the night.

At least two scenes were filmed, both in stormy seas. The first involved a canoe, and it was an all-star crew: Josh Holloway, Elizabeth Mitchell, Ken Leung, Rebecca Mader, and Jeremy Davies. And at the helm? I’m pretty sure it was Terry O’Quinn. They were rocked by waves, drenched by rain, blasted by wind, and blinded by lightning. Sawyer calls for them to go back. But then they see or hear something, and begin paddling toward it.

The second scene involved a large red and black rescue raft. Similar to, but larger than, the raft that carried the Oceanic 6. And unlike with the canoe, none of the raft’s handful of passengers were recognizable. The rain and waves are cued again. Over the din of the equipment, the men and women argue… in French. Suddenly, one of them spots something in the distance. One man pulls out a flashlight, and two other men pull out paddles and start heading toward it.

Two floating, soaking wet groups of people, both buffeted by stormy seas, and both suddenly compelled to seek something in the water. Each other? Or something else?

There is, in fact, one last object floating in the sea (or pool, as it were). A large, thick, wooden door, splintered at the top, a long handle jutting out of the water. And on it, a man lay motionless.

Special thanks to Anthony and Kevin for their reports and to P. for the video.

LOST - New Photoshoot (Season 5 Promo?) Part 2

Music group finds inspiration in the lives of ‘Lost’ characters

For Friday, September 26, 2008
By Katherine Nichols

POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Sep 26, 2008 Here's a new one: A television show inspires a band! In Easthampton, Mass., the ABC series "Lost" prompted a few musical folks to form a band called The Others. Episodes along the way galvanized the songwriters to create a double-CD set for release next month. Entitled "Seasons 3 & 4," the songs illuminate the characters' hourlong story arcs in three-minute pop songs (with a sometime country flair). "Flash forward now, these pills are my friend. Guess I should have listened to Ben ... ," goes one set of lyrics about Jack. "I'm sad and lonely ever since I got home. Tell John Locke he was right. I was wrong." While the music doesn't show a ton of range, some of the lyrics are entertaining. Listen to samples at http://theothers.thethungs.com/mp3s.php....

It's film festival season again (did it ever end?), and Honolulu is definitely in the mix. Actually, for a little island in the Pacific, we do extremely well on this front. The Cinema Italiano launched yesterday with a welcome reception featuring Daniel Dae Kim and Jason Scott Lee, who are part of the jury. The six selections play at the Doris Duke Theatre at the Honolulu Academy of Arts.

Tickets are $7. Check out the Star-Bulletin's rundown on the films at http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/09/19/features/story05.html.
