Lots of info in here http://community.tvguide.com/blog-e...y-Kimmel-Chats/800038097?loc=interstitialskip Kimmel: Did you call Mr. Friendly beforehand to tell him he was gay? Lindelof: [Laughs] No. Kimmel: I see. So you don't trust your writers. [Laughs] But you do actually know the final specific scene? Lindelof: We absolutely, 100 percent know what the last scene of the show is and could put [the pages] in a safe deposit box. But there is an asterisk next to that, which is that we're slaves to fluctuations in reality. If one of the actors in that scene decided to stop being in Lost… Cuse: Or, perchance, got a DUI, the entire ending of the show could change. Basically, the show is in the hands of Hawaii law enforcement. [Laughs] A shot at Ana Lucia and a few others Kimmel: Is the person in the coffin someone who's not from the island? Lindelof: [To Cuse] Tread lightly. Cuse: You will know who's in the coffin before the season is over, and it will not be like, "Who's that person?" Lindelof: The only people you can rule out, based on what you saw in last year's finale, are Kate and Jack.

Lost" returns tonight on ABC at a new time (10/9c) with six new hours that climax with the two-part finale (5/15 and 5/29). ComingSoon.net got a chance to talk to Matthew Fox, who plays Jack, during the press day for Speed Racer. Asked about whether the flash forwards and knowing the end date of the series has changed how he approaches work, Fox said, "Not really. Not that much. No. You know we're going to catch up with the flash forwards here in this year and then we'll be back and it's going to be really interesting to see how time is structured in season five. But we will have closed those two points – the finale of last year where you had that juxtaposition of him on the island feeling like he'd finally accomplished rescue and this future where he's desperate and at the pit of despair and feels like he has to go back and we don't know why and what's transpired in between. We will have closed that thing and so we will have gotten back into a situation where we'll be in the present." How much gets resolved in the finale? "Huge, huge stuff. We're shooting pretty much three episodes. It's really like a three-episode finale that we're shooting simultaneously. It's huge." And will more questions be answered? "There will be huge things answered. Yes." http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=44423
Definitely has something to do with the history of the island judging by the "Ruin-like" doorway that was behind the wall. I like the way this is headed, more island history please! I thought "Freight Train" Smokey looked awesome last night. Overall a very cool episode. Almost feel bad for saying I kinda enjoyed seeing Jack alittle weak. Wonder what happened to the Doc from the freighter? Ben better not kill Penny. Almost sounds like Ben and Charles have a game going on by the "broken rules" talk. Definitely looks like Ben is time traveling too from the flashforward.
wow, that was a fun episode. I'm suprised they answered why Ben and Sayid were working together so early. Definitely want to see more history on how Ben dropped into the Sahara. And what happened to the Doc from the freighter.
My theory is that the island itself is unstuck in time, and is only findable at all when there is some sort of anchor between it and the rest of the world, as there is with Desmond and Penny. That may be why Dharma was trying to put people on the island and use their relatives back home to control them, so that they could create more anchors and make the island easier to get to. I think Ben either has Desmond's ability to travel with his consciousness or else he has access to machinery on the island that allows him to travel in time...I think this is why he seems to know everything. I think he and Widmore, at some point in the future, do something that MUST be done and that's why they can't kill each other. I think they had an agreement to leave everything ELSE in the their lives the way it was when this event happened---the "rules" that Ben was saying Widmore broke by killing Alex. That's why he was so shocked---Alex didn't die the first time around. I think the island is a storehouse of technology of a sort that seems magical to us, either from the future or from some ancient, lost civilization or from aliens.
Not a bad theory til that last part. I would be incredibly surprised and disappointed if aliens had anything to do with this show. I highly doubt they do.
This will probably sound funny considering some of the stuff that has happened on the show but I think that is too far fetched. Nothing that I've read or heard from the writers the last 3-4 years have suggested that it has anything to do with aliens. That would be a HUGE let down IMO.
agreed. saying it was aliens would be a cop out, and so far nothing they have done reflects this attitude. almost everything they show has been calculated and meaningful.
Finale It was the return of the Oceanic Si . The moment when Jack, Sayid, Hurley, Sun, Kate, and Aaron arrive back in the real world, a moment that the flash forwards seem to have been building backwards toward since the end of Season 3. Their rescue is as huge a media circus as you'd imagine, with a throng of reporters and photographers on hand as they step off the plane. A military transport plane. That brought them back to the United States. Via Honolulu. Actually, the dramatic disembarkation was to be filmed later. But today's filming focused on an elaborate Oceanic Airlines-coordinated press conference. Or, as my two sources put it, "a big press con." The world's media was there for answers, as well as several familiar faces: Veronica Hamel (Margo Shephard), Cheech Marin (David Reyes) and Lillian Hurst (Carmen Reyes). But as Lost fans know, the answers they got merely raised more questions. Ms. Austen, how old is Aaron? Ms. Kwon, what happened to your husband? Mr. Reyes, what of your fortune, and this hefty airline settlement? The answers they give, I dare not tell. But suffice it to say, the press is as skeptical of the official story as Lost toughest fans. (And Hurley's hackles are raised by a query that's been raised by viewers and comedians alike since Season 1.) Sayid toes the line, but isn't happy about it. And yes, the Oceanic Six make surprising mention of some long, lost friends. Three of them, at least, whose deaths occurred in each of the first three seasons.
Somebody help me. What is the name of that piece Ben was playing on the piano at the beginning of the episode? That GREAT episode.
I may be wrong, but I think its a piece they wrote specifically for the show.. Isnt it Ben's theme? Because I heard it again when he went to say his farewells to Alex..
I want to know that too, when I first heard it I thought it was the moonlight sonata by Beethoven but I wasn't sure, it definitely has a similar sound at least.
According to Lostpedia.com: Prelude in C Sharp Minor. Ben is playing this piece from Sergei Rachmaninoff on the piano, right before the phone call. Some British publications include the title The Burning of Moscow or The Day of Judgement. (music)
I don't know who's episodes are better, Ben or Desmond's? I'd have to take Desmond, but Ben's a close second.
I wonder if they lit torches? It's not like there were many Bic lighters laying around for them to wave back and forth.
Couple or theories I read. What do you think?? Could it be that Ben can't kill Whidmore because they are each other's constant?? Do we think Bernard has a secret past? Not only can he understand Morse Code but he's also an expert marksman. We have background on most people and yet we know very little about him. We know that he's dentist and is married to Rose but that's it. Why would a dentist know morse code and be an expert shot?
Good theory on Ben and Charles. As for Bernard, did they mention he was in the Navy before? Maybe I'm imagining things. I wouldn't be surprised though if it was something like that.
