Ramblings about entertainment and other things
You might have been hearing the rumors about Jack getting killed off on the show next year when it returns. Are you worried about that happening?
Just to alleviate your fears, there’s a New York Post article today that talks about it. The show’s writers dismiss this completely and say that “This is the most insane rumor regarding ‘Lost’ to date”.
You can breathe again.
Read all about it in: New York Post Online Edition
Did you watch “Day Break” on ABC last night? If not, you missed a brief “LOST moment” (as ABC is calling them) preview of the next show which will air on February 7th. You can also see these on ABC.com/lost, but you need to be an American Express card holder to view them.
In the preview, we see Desmond tackle Charlie, yelling “You don’t want to know what happened to me! You don’t want to know!”
….and that’s it. Hey, I said it was brief.
Some revised theories on what that might mean in a future post.
I took the Easter Egg postings I’ve been making in after each of this season’s episodes, and consolidated them into my Lost Season 3 Easter Eggs page. You can access it via that link, or the link on the left column of the website.
In an earlier posting, I pointed to an article which stated that the producers had planned Mr. Eko’s departure.
What that article didn’t say, but an article at Contact Music says that TV Guide is reporting (did you follow that?) that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko) asked to be released from the show!
Apparently, it’s been a very bad year for him. Both his parents died earlier this year. He had a run-in with police for a traffic violation (the charges were dropped).
All in all, I’m still sorry he left.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Here are some things you might have missed in the episode “I Do”.
Kate’s husband Kevin works for the Miami-Dade Miami police department, which means they were in South Florida. He drives a Miami-Dade police car. (Correction from TropicHunt.com Guy….Thanks!)
The tickets to Costa Rica were on Oceanic Airlines.
The conversation between Pickett and Juliet was at the labor area was:
P: I don’t understand. It’s supposed to be two weeks.
J: Our schedule’s been moved up.
P: What, is that an order?
J: It’s coming from him.
P: That’s stupid.
J: It’s not my call. That’s the way it is, Danny.
P: Alright.
“Lift up your eyes and look north
If you haven’t already heard, LOST is on hiatus for 13 weeks. It’ll be back in February, so don’t be surprised when you tune in next week and see “Day Break” instead.
So, why stick around to see “Day Break”, if you’re a Lost fan? ABC will be showing scenes from the February premiere of LOST throughout the 13 weeks Day Break will be showing.
SPOILERS AHEAD… You’ve been warned.
The producers insist that the death of Mr. Eko in “The Cost of Living” was something that was planned all along, but that’s still not sitting very well with fans of the show. The LA Times has an article about fan reaction to Mr. Eko’s death and people are not too happy about it.
The article goes on to talk about how the actor who plays Mr. Eko, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, views his character, and what he has planned for the future.
Spoilers ahead!
There are a number of stories out this morning after Mr. Eko’s death last night. The New York Post as a some quotes from the producers about Eko’s demise, and MSNBC has an article that discusses Mr. Eko’s impact on the show.
I’m sure this was all planned out in advance, but it sure seems like if someone gets in trouble with the law in real life, their characters aren’t far away from dying on the show.
I told a friend last night that I think Bernard is going to be pretty upset about Eko’s death… After all, he’s the last one from the tail section that hasn’t been killed or captured.
I think it’s also pretty clear that the theory that “Smokey the Cloud” can manifest itself as a real creature, whether it be Jack’s dad, Kate’s horse, Walt, or Eko’s brother Yemi… well, I think that theory just got a lot stronger.
Here are some of the things you might not have seen in “The Cost of Living”:
And a couple of repeats from previous episodes, mentioned here again in this episode:
