A theory about what’s going on with Desmond

What the heck is going on with Desmond? I have an idea, but there are a few theories that I’d like to go over first.

Hurley shot one down right away… Desmond is NOT the Hulk, despite is lack of pants. And thank goodness for that anyway, it would be pretty disappointing for Desmond to go all “Bill Bixby

What is on that video in next week’s Lost preview?

The previews for next week’s show went by pretty quickly, and if you didn’t look too closely, you might have thought there was an alien on the video monitor in the Observation Hatch. Here’s a picture of what they saw.

It sure looks to me like a man with a patch over his eye. Question is, is it one of The Others or someone else?

UPDATE From the comments section, Sthnbelle points out that it’s probably the owner of the glass eye that they found last season.

Things you missed in “Every Man for Himself”

A few things you might have missed in Lost’s 4th episode of Season 3:


  • The Others took a submarine over to get the sailboat, and that submarine is called the Galaga

  • Juliet said, “That’s not how we do it over here, Jack” – which was a hint that they weren’t on the same island as the people from the plane crash

  • Kate’s response to Sawyer when she went back into the cage was “Live together, die alone”, a repeat of what Jack said last season

  • Jack is manipulating Juliet the very same way that Ben Linus (as Henry Gale) tried to manipulate Locke, when he asked who was in charge. Locke didn’t like it when “Henry” did it, and Juliet didn’t like it when Jack did it

  • The mumbled words that Jack was trying to hear in the broken speaker were of two men talking. The words were, “… under control. Yeah? You know what he’s doing to Karl? You know what he’s doing? It was a mistake to bring those two here.”

  • When Sawyer was waking up on the table, one of The Others (“Zeke”, I think) said that they didn’t have any communication for two days after the sky went purple.

  • The car Munson had hidden was in the South Florida area; it’s likely that’s where Sawyer was being held in prison.

Lost Search Engine

I added a special Lost Search engine that uses Google Search and helps give more specialized results for when you’re searching for things related to LOST. It’s available on the right hand side of the page.

I’ll continue to improve the results by adding more Lost sites to the list it searches, so if you know of a good site, add it to the comments section below, and I’ll add suggestions to the list!

LOST at the Louis Vuitton Hawaii International Film Festival

The Honolulu Advertiser is reporting that some the cast and crew of LOST will be at the Hawaii International Film Festival on Saturday, Oct. 21st at the Regal Dole Stadium Theatres 18, Honolulu.

There will be a panel discussion with Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Michael Emerson (Ben Linux/Henry Gale), Ian Cusack (Desmond), and Executive Producers Jack Bender and Jean Higgins. Elizabeth Kieszkowski, the features editor of The Honolulu Advertiser will moderate.

Update: Here’s a brief followup article about what happened at the event.

What Factions Are There In The Others Camp?

Spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t seen all the shows up to Season 3, episode 2, don’t read this…

Wednesday we’re going to hit the third episode of Season three. We have a pretty good sense there are different factions within The Others camp, but we still don’t know for sure which Others are lined up with each other.

We do have a pretty good hint about Alexandra; she helped Claire escape from The Staff station (the medical facility), and she is trying to figure out what happened to Karl. If she were totally “in line” with whomever is really in charge, she probably wouldn’t have done that either of those things.

Danny and Colleen are pretty chummy and they both seem to be completely on board with whatever Ben says.

Ben has a “I guess I’m not in the book club” and “You never make soup for me” attitude with Juliet, and frankly it’s a little annoying. Ok, we get it! Ben’s being snotty with Juliet. Woop de doo.

From the scene in the book club meeting, Juliet seems pretty darn fed up with people cow-towing to Ben.

…And that’s just this group of people at the Hydra station. There might even be “Other Others” elsewhere on the island.

Anyway, the thing that’s a little creepy about how Juliet is handling the whole thing is that while she’s not in Ben’s pocket, she sure is carrying out the orders. I thought it was a little disturbing when Sawyer said that Juliet would have “no problem” shooting Kate.

Lost has a habit of introducing characters that aren’t exactly what they first appear to be. Is Juliet, who seems sympathetic now going to turn out to be a really nasty character? Is Ben going to turn out to be better than he appears to be right now?

Interview with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse

Here’s a MediaBlvd Magazine interview with Lost Executive Producers: Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse

They talk about Season 3, and how our view of what we’ve learned about The Others so far might change by the end of the season.

This quote from Carlton Cuse really stuck out:

If we forced the storytelling, you would feel worse. Henry Gale was going to be in two episodes and the actor was so awesome that we ended up having him be in eight. But, the plan to discover a prisoner in the hatch and then have him turn out to be a significant member of The Others was always in play.

The way I read that, it sounded like “the prisoner in the hatch” (Desmond) is supposed to be a member of The Others… I have to assume this was a mistake, since they were talking about Henry Gale right before that.
