Lost Video Island

A highly-placed insider has just set my hinder straight on the batting order for the final episodes of “Lost” this season.

The bad news? As reported by TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, the season will indeed not end with a Benjamin Linus flashback two-parter.

The good news? We’ll be getting Ben’s flashbacks even sooner! He’ll be the focus of 3.20, the episode previously believed to be DeGroot-centric. (If you’re thinking Dharma masterminds Karen and Gerald DeGroot will still turn up in that episode, I’d guess you’re thinking right.)

The shocking news? After years of privately and publicly nagging the producers of “Lost” to cut back on the flashbacks, I can report that 3.19 is slated to be the first-ever flashback-free episode in the series’ history.

The absent flashbacks for that episode, says my source, “won't even be missed.”

“The episode,” he or she adds, “focuses on one of season one's ‘mysteries’ - if that's the right word.”

What I am assured is the true flashback order:
3.17 Desmond Hume
3.18 Jin & Sun Kwon
3.19 no flashbacks!
3.20 Benjamin Linus
3.21 Charlie Pace
3.22-23 Jack Shephard or Ben Linus

So it must be a damn good episode then, huh? Actually, it sounds like a good idea, taking a bit of a break from flashbacks. It's not that I absolutely dislike them (we had some really good flashbacks!), but many character's flashbacks don't change too much and it gets kinda boring. I'm thinking about Kate and Sayid in particular. It will be quite different to have an entire episode without flashbacks.

Hopefully they will do more episodes like this in the future if it's a success

And yay an island mystery revealed from season 1! I heard someone say The Brig might be referring to the Black Rock. Might be the case then

Maybe the finale will be Locke centric? I don't get how it could be Jack as rumored. A whole finale on what happened with him at the Others camp doesn't seem to be enough stuff.

No flashbacks for a whole episode!!!!

As for the Jack flashback at the end of the season I was reading some rumours earlier that it has more to do with Christian Shephard!!! Lots of people seem to think he's Jacob and faked his own death!!!

It would make a lot of sense I guess....

I was joking about quite a few times, but it would be wicked though if it was true.

haha I know! The amount of times we've all joked about how he is always in flashbacks and maybe the whole show is about him!

But if it did turn out to be true it would be pretty

Ah, the Great Christian Shephard Connection.

He's either Jacob or Alvar Hanso. LOL. Gotta be.

sometimes flashbacks are the best part of a pointless episode.

I can tell i wont like 3x19!

I gotta be honest here. I'm not sure about no flashbacks for a whole episode! Flashbacks are LOST's thing! Hopefully the ep will be so good we won't notice that they are missing. Hopefully!

I actually think no flashbacks will do this episode good because of what the eppy will be about

but now they are speculating there could be flashbacks on locke with the others

It's LOST, so I'm sure they'll make us love it no matter what.

Some Locke and the Others stuff would be great. I can't wait to see more about that storyline!

Yep, I read this, too. Also, this sounds quite interesting (source: spoilerfix.com):

Quote:

A newly focused Locke breaks away from "The Others" in an attempt to persuade Sawyer to help rid them of a great nemesis that has caused nothing but pain in both of their lives. Meanwhile, a new island inhabitant discloses some shocking information about Oceanic Flight 815.

I so hope that we'll get a great Locke - Sawyer - Anthony Cooper aka The Real Sawyer - storyline here.
