The Lost Thread

[frecklegirl]

Forgot I mention I also went to the LOST panel at last year's Comic-Con, which was much bigger since the actors who play Hurley and Jin were there, so it got to be on Saturday (*grumbles about how it isn't this year just cause there's no actors*). But Damon & Carlton were there too, which was awesome. I got some close-up shots of them but that was about it, they weren't available for any signing/chatting. All I would have done was rambled like an idiot about how much I love them/the podcasts anyway...

Here's a picture I took during that panel:

(omg damon & carlton YAY)

So cool! I wish we had something like that over here. We do have one big expo I think, but it's probably in London which is 6 hours away from me and it isn't half as big. I think last year Shannon and Ben were there to represent Lost.

ABC have started a Lost press tour for the fourth season. For anybody that wants to stay completely blank for next season, I'll put it in a spoiler tag but I think it's probably going to become common knowledge before the show starts anyway via trailers and pictures. Especially considering it's ABC themselves announcing it and not being a 'leak'.

Spoiler:
At Today's ABC Press Tour it was revealed that Harold Perrineau is returning to Lost as a full cast member. The confirms a rumour from DarkUFO from a source in ABC he said has been correct in the past who said "Negotiations with Harold Perrineau [Michael] and Malcolm David Kelley [Walt] are being made with Malcolm's contract practically agreed and feelings are that agreement with Harold's people is very close."


They also mentioned that a number of big reveals would be held back for Comic-Con (Today!).

Rumours for 2 new cast members include actors Peter Stormare [Prison Break] and Forest Whitaker

Cool, new characters! I'm not really looking forward to the first thing too much, unless they do something interesting with it, but adding people into the show would be great.. I'm still upset that they got rid of most of the new characters from season 2. :-|

[Inaudible-Whisper]

I think the first thing will take place via flashback,

Spoilers
When they first left via boat. They'll get off the island and it will culminate with Michael being the one in the casket in the Season 3 finale.

[fluffiethesock]

Is that official?

[Inaudible-Whisper]

Nope, speculation.

Comic-Con info I've typed up from a bunch of awkward text off the DarkUFO Live blog. Again, I'll spoiler tag is as not to spoil it for people that want to stay completely blank, or who have yet to finish season 3. Nice info though.

Why was the season finale full of violence?

We wanted real conflict, which required a body count. In season one, the losties were more violent against each other than violence perpetrated by the others.

Where's Michael?

Harold P. [Michael] will be returning. We were hoping to make it a con announcement, but, oh well.

Will the flashforwards continue?

Season 4 will feature both flashbacks and flashforwards.

Will Jack find out that Claire is his sister?

Not in Season 4.

When will we find out more about Dharma?

Sooner than you can imagine!

Will we learn where Ben and co are travelling?

Yes, and we will find out how Ben ended up in Rousseau's trap.

Is the scene with Jack and Kate from the finale the end of the show?

The scene with Kate and Jack is not the end... there is an entire
chapter that will occur after they are off the island presented in
flashforwards.


*Harold P. [Michael] goes onto the stage*


Damon and Carl: Harold coming back was always part of the plan.

Michael will probably have a redemptive story. He is rejoining
the regular cast in early season 4



Will we see more of Richard Alpert?

He is doing other show, so he might get limited screen time.

What is the title of the Season 4 opener?

Can't say/don't know yet.

What questions are the fans not asking and should be?

Damon makes a "Who's in the coffin joke". Harold guesses it is Locke, but
it is clearly a joke.

Who is on the ship arriving on the island?

They won't say who is on the ship, who Adam and Eve are, who got off
the island, and whether Nikki and Paulo are really dead.

Will we find out more of Libby's story? Does she work for Dharma?

We do intend to return to Libby's story, and the theory that she works for Dharma is not barking up the wrong tree.

Will we get a Rousseau flashback?

Yes, at some point in season 4 or 5 but it needs to fit into the timeline. We can't just throw it in.

Who drew the blast door map?

Radzinski drew the map, and referred to the monster as Cerberus on it. What the monster is and where it comes from will be revealed. Don't expect the show to end with every mystery neatly tied up though. They like to leave some things up to speculation because "That's life".



Damon and Carl cut to a film they say was "Found in Norway"

They show another Orientation video. Marvin Candle (Mark Wickmund) in a new hatch "Station six, The Orchid." He apologizes for deceiving the viewer and their family as to the nature of the research - it is not botanical.
He holds a rabbit marked 15, and another is on a shelf marked
16. Candle calls himself Edward Hourwaxz. Then things start
falling. The building shakes and the lights flash. The camera pans onto the rabbit, implying that the rabbits are the
cause of building shakes and the light breaks. End.

[Inaudible-Whisper]

New orientation film!

Speculations:
Why would Jack get so upset if Michael's in that casket?
