whoosh!
I don’t know about Sawyer, but it seems like Kate must know that Alex is CFL’s daughter. She has to be able to put 2 and 2 together on that one. Right?
Of course it wasn’t on the island. It was classic misdirection. They show Ethan and a room that could be on the island so you are thinking that it could be on the island. Then she opens the window and it’s Miami. Then it hits you that Juliet is not like Ben who says the island has always been his home. She just got there recently.
BTW I just finished reading the Entertainment Weekly article about Lost. Before I just read some of their online stuff. When I get a chance I’ll spoiler box some of the stuff that was said.
You forget who you’re talking about. This is the same group of people who decided “Oh, Michael is leading us into a trap! Well, now that we know, let’s formulate a plan of our own… let’s walk right into that trap!” among many other things.
To them, 2+2 may equal “toaster”
Like I said the producers of the show dropped a bunch of spoilers in the current issue of Entertainment Weekly. They didn’t give away any big answers but gave some info on what is coming up.
Lets see, there will be some old questions answered.
The secret of Jack’s tattoos. How Locke got paralyzed. The Others connection to Dharma (March 7) along with a visit to a new hatch
Something from Desmond:
Feb 14 he tells a central character that he/she will die
About Claire:
Is Jack’s father her father? Will be answered sometime in the next six episodes.
Also about Feb 14:
All about Desmond. You see more about his girlfriend. It becomes clear why season 2 ended the way it did by the end of this season. Desmond’s flashback is promised to be done “in a way we never have before and never will again”
Nikki and Paulo:
The producers are aware that everyone hates them. They promise that everyones feelings about them will change once their plans for them become clear. We’ll see.
I’ll throw the rest together.
Stewardess Kimberly and the kidnapped kids show up on Feb 21. Michael and Walt will return at some point or some fashion but probably not till season 4. We get more information about Libby but not till season 4. The monster shows up again but it won’t be fully explained this season. Cuse says, 'Whether or not you learn more about it will depend on how obsessive you are. If you enjoy recording the program and studying individual frames you might. But really, is that healthy?"
Oh, please.
To them, 2+2 = WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!!!
So, we’re 7(?) episodes in. Have we even SEEN Locke, yet? Or will he be another big nothing?

I thought the stewardess was named…not Kimberly. I can’t remember right now.
But not that. Was it?
-Joe
Sorry Cindy. The actress is Kimberly Joseph.
Woo! Score one for the massive brain!

From the EW Q&A with the producers, this worried me a little:
I will be very unhappy if the show comes to an end without offering any reason why the lives of the people on the island had been intersecting for so long before the crash. Jack and Desmond in the stadium. Libby and Hurley together in the asylum. Hurley buying Locke’s company. I don’t want to find out that these were all just freakish coincidences.
I’d much rather everything be the product of some ridiculous machinations by a company so resourceful and ruthless that they don’t mind running down a prominent doctor with a bus in broad daylight. That would be much more satisfying than “they’re all just, like, connected, man”.
It doesn’t look like anyone’s posted this here yet, but apparently there was a backmasked message in the brainwashing room. Link to backwards video here Only fools are enslaved by time and space | LOST
A female voice says
“only fools are enslaved by time and space”
quite clearly several times in between the backwards jibberish, and maybe not coincidentally, every time a character is shown “reacting” or noticing something in the room.
If the Dharma guys could travel in time, that would explain quite a few things. For instance, how to you manage to hit someone with a bus? You go foward in time and watch for a moment when the guy steps out on a street without looking. Then you go back get a bus, and make sure you’re barreling towards that exact spot at the right moment.
It’s amazing how many potentially cool ideas are wiped by the “it’s all explainable by science” bit from the producers.
Maybe they can’t travel in time, but they can see through time.
-Joe
We’ve already noticed that Desmond can see a brief burst of the future, and Waaaaalt can apparently steer causality in his vicinity with strong thoughts. Eko was able to see things in his dreams, too. However brilliant a tactician he might be, Ben was unable to foresee Jack’s brilliant back-stabbing maneuver, possibly because Ben was going to be unconscious during the procedure.
If any of those abilities is a side effect of the Dharma protocols, then it makes sense that they’d have someone who could use them to the fullest working stateside in recruiting or management.
Well, one of the hatches was called The Swann…
And of course, Ben bakes a mean madeleine for his book club meetings.
Maybe the whole thing, both words, is what we’re supposed to untangle.
MITTELOSBIOSCIENCE =
“No comestible cities.”
“Slice ties to combine.”
Hmmm.
Oh, wait a second:
“So… one imbecilic test.”
