Ramblings about entertainment and other things
Reader Sthnbelle points out that on ABC.com, here’s a mysterious picture of a little girl in the holding tank with Jack. You can see it in ABC.com’s Photo galleries. I’ve posted a copy of the picture here. You can see it for yourself by clicking the link above, going to Season 3, and go to picture #33.
I sure don’t remember seeing that last night, and the only thing I can come up with so far is that it’s a picture from one of the upcoming episodes. Any other thoughts?
A few interesting things about the Lost Season 3 Premiere:
In the opening sequence, we see Juliet arguing with Adam that “Ben
It’s LOST Premiere Night!

Season 2 spoilers ahead… Stop reading if you don’t want to know!
I’ve been re-watching season 2 of Lost before the season premiere of Lost season 3 on October 4 th, 2006. The entire season revolved around the Hatch and the Button that needed to be pressed every 108 minutes.
What happens when the button is not pressed
Well, we sure found out what happened when the button was NOT pressed…. The first time Desmond missed pressing it, it brought down Oceanic flight 815 and brought the survivors to the island. When they narrowly missed pressing the button, a sequence of hieroglyphics came up, which caused all kinds of speculation about what the missing hieroglyphic character might be, and what the whole word or phrase might mean. When they let it go all the way down to complete set hieroglyphics (which read as “Underworld
Throw out the theories that Walt is Psychic, that all the Lost characters are dead, and the “monster” isn’t a dinosaur, and you’re just left with more mysteries in LOST.
Susan Young has a great article on all the connections and unexplained mysteries of LOST that you should take a look at.
Associated Press has got an article on some of questions we might get answers to this season on LOST.
They ask the following questions in the article, explain why they’re asking the question, but don’t really answer them… Here are my answers
“The Others” are at least working under the premise that they’re part of the Dharma Initiative. From what we’ve seen so far, there’s nothing to lead us to believe that they’re not. I mean, why have all those labels on food out on an island where no one else can see them, right?
I think the better question here is What are The Others Doing. They seem obsessed with children. Why? What are they looking for? I think they’re looking to see if any of the children have immunities or some sort of genetic makeup that can help them with what they’re looking for.
Why all the disguises? Well, if you wanted to keep people out of the way so they wouldn’t come to your camp looking for food or shelter, what better way then making it look like you have no real means of your own?
Between Jack and Sawyer? I think that’s easy. She’ll go Sawyer. Why? From the writer’s perspective, it’s a lot more interesting to write about those two than Kate and Jack.
Personally though, I don’t think it’ll be either of them. I think it’ll be someone new…. Yes, one of The Others.
The AP story says that victims of Locke’s father handicapped Locke. I don’t buy that. It completely ignores the two thugs that were after Locke. Remember them? They were looking for the money too. Could they have been the ones that beat Locke so badly that he ended up in the chair? Yes, but I think that’s a bit obvious. Personally, I believe that Locke’s father had Locke beaten up because Locke just wouldn’t go away.
I think this one is a red herring. Jae Lee, whom everyone thinks could be the father because of his relationship with Sun, isn’t the father. Jin’s infertility was “fixed” by the island.
This the question of the summer. We know that they’ll all back, so we know they didn’t die. After Desmond turned the key, the massive release of magnetic energy reversed itself. Reversed itself? Sure — Think about it. If the magnetism intenstified, the hatch door would NOT have been high up in the air, and would not have fallen to the ground, nearly hitting Bernard, Claire and the baby. The key was supposed to destroy the hatch. How would you destroy that? By giving an opposite charge that’s stronger than the magnetic charge was to begin with.
Now, what this did to Locke, Eko and Desmond… That’s a really good question. The only think I think we know for sure is they’re going to have hearing problems for a while.
The last time we saw Michael and Walt, they were headed out to sea on bearing 325, per Henry Gale’s instructions. I don’t think they’ll make it anywhere, and that Walt will end up being lost at sea. The actor that plays Walt is growing up fast… too fast for the show’s timeline. It’s only been 60 days or so since the crash, and it’s going on three years of real-time. If we do see Michael again, he’ll be going after The Others and Henry Gale for the circumstances that lead to Walt’s death.
As I said previously, they’re looking for some genetic sequences. That means they’ll still be after the baby and after Sun once they discover she’s pregnant.
We don’t know for sure whether Libby was in the asylum when she saw Hurley before or after meeting Desmond. I’m guessing that it happened it happened before she met Desmond. So the timeline would be something like: Libby was married; her husband died in some way and it caused her to go into the mental institution; Hurley makes it out of the instiution, wins the lottery, and returns to find out what the numbers mean after bad things start happening — Libby sees Hurley.
Before she died, I swore up and down that she was working with Dharma, and I still believe that might be the case. I don’t have any evidence for this; it’s just a hunch.
This one is simple. Yes. That’s who Christian Shephard (Jack’s father) was trying to go see when he went back to Australia.
I sure hope so. The “Lost Experience” game over the summer was a pretty big let down; let’s hope that doesn’t creep into the show.
In the season two finale, we found out quite a bit more about Desmond. He was released from military prison for not following orders (which orders, we don’t know yet). Charles Widmore tried to buy him off to keep him away from Widmore’s daughter, Penny. Penny Widmore was able to track him down to talk to him right before he met Jack at the sports stadium. He really was attempting to travel around the world when he got stuck on the island. He’s been there for the last three years pushing that button and “saving the world

This is a HUGE spoiler for what’s happening on LOST, so don’t click the video unless you’re certain you want to know what’s going on with the DHARMA initiative.
This video is was pieced together from the results of the LOST game that was played over the summer via Hanso Exposed, and other websites.
