Sensational Sneak Preview of Lost
By Ed Martin
What's in Store on Television's Most Talked About Drama
"Who survives [the raft attack], how they survive, where they end up
and how they reconnect with the other characters" will drive the story
Beverly Hills, CA - From the opening moments of the first episode of
its sophomore season, Lost won't waste a minute in providing further
information about the major storylines on the show. What's at the
bottom of that tunnel? Who are the Others? What the heck is the island
all about, anyway?
"Right out of the gate we're addressing some of the big mysteries of
the island," Lost co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof
tells MediaVillage.com. "We'll go right inside the tunnel, and what
you'll see in there changes everything."
Indeed, whatever they discover in that tunnel "will change the
fundamental state of existence" of the characters, Lindelof continues.
Viewers won't see quick glimpses of strange things but rather will get
a good long look around.
"We're erring on the side of giving away too much rather than too
little," Lindelof says. "They found that hatch in episode 10. Thirteen
episodes later they opened it up. It's got to be good."
What the characters won't find inside, Lindelof promises, are aliens, a
time travel portal or "a ship they can blast off in." Whatever is in
there will involve those mysterious numbers that led to Hurley's
lottery win and streak of bad luck in that character's famous
backstory.
"Right from the start, in the season premiere, the numbers become a
fundamental plot point for the season," Lindelof says. "People aren't
going to be disappointed in how we use them."
He says the producers of the show wanted to make certain that whatever
the characters find inside the tunnel will be "great, cool and risky."
But, Lindelof cautions, he can "guarantee some people are not going to
like what they find in there."
While some characters are exploring the tunnel, others will be dealing
with the aftermath of the destruction of the raft and the kidnapping of
little Walt by a band of creepy men who are presumed to be among the
community of Others on the island.
"Who survives [the raft attack], how they survive, where they end up
and how they reconnect with the other characters" will drive the story
through the first seven or eight episodes next fall, Lindelof adds.
Lindelof also confirms that the character played by newcomer Michelle
Rodriguez will be someone who was seated in the back of the plane when
it exploded and has been living on another part of the island. He will
not say whether she has been living alone or with other survivors.
He also says that Boone, the one main character who died last season,
will definitely stay dead. "So many times in genre shows when you kill
someone off they come back. On Lost the rules are different. When
you're dead, you're dead!" Lindelof declares.
The other big nagging mysteries in the story - why did Ethan kidnap
Claire, what happened to her while she was held prisoner, what if
anything happened to her baby - will be addressed later in the
season, Lindelof says. "But we have bigger priorities first: The hatch
and Walt's kidnapping."
He says the story about the kidnapping of Walt is especially intense,
because "a child taken from a parent by strangers is the scariest thing
of all." When the Others take Walt, there is no Amber Alert, no Fox
News Channel and CNN reporting the story, nowhere for his father to get
help. There is only fear, frustration and rage. Early episodes,
Lindelof says, will deal with the repercussions of this harrowing
incident.
"That is the big mystery of the island," Lindelof explains. "Who are
these other people and what do they want?"
Lindelof welcomes ABC's decision to move Lost from 8 to 9 p.m. ET on
Wednesday, because more people are available to watch television. He
also thinks the show is "very intense" and says, "children should not
be watching," which they are apt to do at an earlier hour.
"By the finale of season two viewers will know why the plane crashed,"
Lindelof says. He envisions Lost running "somewhere in the neighborhood
of 4-5 seasons."
"I know what the ending [of the story] is," he concludes. "At a certain
point you can only stall [the audience] so long." |

WOW now that's a pretty big "spoiler"!
Although it's actually kinda more of a teaser... as all it makes me do is want to watch the show even more >.< now I'm REALLY looking forward to figuring out what's in the hatch, what happens to Micheal and the others, and etcetera! heheh
I'm actually glad that wasn't in the "new season two spoilers" thread. Too much info needs its own topic! |

the 'tunnel' suggests it leads somewhere and/or its built to be used/lived in. Should be interesting xD _________________

I just hope they try to explain it with realistic means rather than a Deux ex Machina It's been Lost's way to give an answer to things with both scientific and faith/supernatural means so far... e.g. Locke walking could be a result of the crash, or it could be divine intervention from the island?
Anyway, I hope that tradition continues it's cool that way! |

Yeah, they do have room to just say "it was only psychological", but then that's kinda a letdown I mean, where's the miracle in that?!
From what we know so far, he couldn't walk before the crash, and we don't know the reason yet, even if it's the kidney that caused it. So the "all in his head" theory is just that, a theory. We don't know it yet. But it's at least IMPLIED this is a big miracle, so hmm... |
