Welcome to EW.com readers!


Welcome to EW.com readers!

Jeff “Doc” Jensen asked for predictions on the season finale, and this week he’s posted reader responses. My guess was one of them!

I prefer the time-travel zaniness of my friend Steve at MagicLamp.org, who writes:

”The Island will move in the present and past, causing 815 to crash into the ocean, since the magnetic pulse never happened. Those versions of the 815ers all die, leaving their counterparts alive on the Island. The Oceanic 6 are told their friends can’t return or the paradox will endanger the world. Locke replaces Ben, who ends up in the coffin, and Aaron will be foretold to be Locke’s replacement.”

I love the way you think, Steve, because (1) I’ve been predicting something close to this for most of the season; and (2) it makes no sense.

If you’re a regular reader of MagicLamp.org, be sure and read the EW.com article, “Lost: A night to ‘move’ on?”

LOST: What happens to Frank, Charlotte, Miles and Daniel?


We know who the Oceanic 6 are… What the heck is going to happen to Frank, Charlotte, Miles and Daniel?

First, let’s look at why they were recruited for the mission they’re on.

Frank was recruited just because he knew something weird was going on with Flight 815 when he saw the pilot, so it probably doesn’t matter to Widmore what happens to him.

Charlotte is an anthropologist, probably recruited because the culture on the island is quite old (remember that four-toed statue?). We’ve seen no evidence so far that they’ve found something she would be interested in, or can explain.

Miles can speak with the dead. If the theories about The Others are right, he’s going to have a LOT of people to talk to.

Daniel is a scientist who knows a lot more about what’s happening on the island than he’s told everyone. The only person that knows this for sure is Desmond.

What happens to them?

Frank’s the only one who seems to know how to fly a helicopter, so I think it’s likely he’s making it off the island.

I think the rest are going to get stuck on the island when it moves. The characters are too interesting to get rid of at this point, and I think they’ll be able to help explain what the heck is going on… probably not by tomorrow, but by next season.

LOST: That Device on Keamy’s Arm


Spoilers Ahead

This might be obvious to some folks, but I’m going to through this out there:

Remember that device we saw on Keamy’s arm that they were putting on right before the soldiers left the boat?

It’s likely that the radio interference that the boat was having was because of that device radioing back to the boat. What would it be transmitting? It’s not like Keamy has an EKG running back on the boat, right?

Well, not quite. What I think he does have is a heart monitor that’s been wired up so that if his heart stops, it’ll trigger the bomb they found on the boat, setting it off.

The real question is, if that’s going to happen, how do Sun and Aaron get away? The boat blows up, and since the island needs them both they survive, to be picked up in the water?

Any guesses?

Matthew Fox Knows How LOST Ends


The Daily Mirror is reporting in an interview that Matthew Fox, Jack from LOST, is one of the people that knows how LOST is going to end. (My guess, Jack and Kate’s remains are those skeletons they found in the cave back in Season 1).

He’s keeping quiet about it though, even though cast members ask about it:

“Yes, it’s true. They understand I can’t talk about it, but sometimes they’ll ask, just hoping I’ll blurt it out.”

TV Buddy brings up a good question about this. Why did Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof tell Matthew Fox the ending?

What the heck does “Frozen Donkey Wheel” mean?


If you listen to the Lost podcasts (and you should), you might have heard that the final scene of this season’s LOST is referred to as “Frozen Donkey Wheel”.

The producers always come up with some code word that nobody can make sense of for those final scenes. In previous years, they’ve used “The Bagel”, “The Challah”, and “The Snake in the Mailbox” (because it would be “the last thing you would expect”).

Read more about what the producers have to say about this at CTV.ca.

Lost: Who Buried Danielle And Karl?


There have been a number of deaths in Lost over the last few episodes: the boat’s doctor, the boat’s captain, Alex, Karl, Danielle. One of the things that bothered me right away was: Who buried Danielle and Karl?

Think about that a minute. There are people invading the island, the two camps are split, and Ben sends Alex and Karl with Danielle away from camp to keep them safe. We see Danielle and Karl murdered right before Alex is carted away. Would the soldiers on the boat take the time to dig a grave for Danielle and Karl?

I don’t think they would have. They were in the middle of the jungle and out to get Ben. They had a hostage (Alex), and they needed to try and use her as leverage as soon as possible.

So, there are several distinct possibilities. The first: The Others buried them both. I think that’s the most likely possibility.

The second possibility: That wasn’t really Danielle in the grave, and Danielle herself buried Karl. This theory is the same, in reverse, of course – Karl could have buried Danielle). The face did look very much like Karl’s, but Danielle’s face didn’t look very much like her (see the picture).

The problem with this theory is, If it’s NOT her, who the heck is it? And, if you’re thinking that Miles knew about the graves – Well, he did, but that could have been Karl or Danielle (not both) saying something that lead him to dig them up.

The third possibility: Danielle and Karl really did die, and those are their bodies, but Danielle came back (like Yemi, Christian, etc) and buried the bodies herself. Now, THAT would be a weird thing to have to do for yourself…. But the most likely possibility, I think.

What do you think?

LOST: Shadowy Figure On The Plane

Here’s something to mull over the holiday weekend. Take a look at this picture from part 1 of the season 4 finale of LOST:

It looks pretty much how you remember it, right? But… What about that shadowy figure behind Karen Decker (she’s the Oceanic representative). What shadowy figure? Well, look at this:

It could just be a flight officer, but I consider that pretty unlikely, given that Jack and the rest were talking pretty openly about keeping quiet about what happened.

Who is that shadowy figure?

Update: Shows that don’t start on the hour are really starting to tick me off.

I’ll be doing a live blog of tonight’s LOST: No Place Like Home. Stay tuned!

Michael Is Glad To Be Back On LOST


Harold Perrineau, who plays Michael on LOST, took a brief hiatus from LOST, but is glad to be back:

Nausea aside, the actor is relieved to once again be part of the Lost crew. His character, Michael, hadn’t been seen or heard from since motoring off the island in the Others’ boat with son Walt at the end of season two, leaving fans to wonder what the holy smoke monster had happened to them.

“It was time to come back,” Perrineau says. “Even if Michael was going to die, I [wanted] him to finish, as opposed to just disappearing.”

Question is, how long will Michael stay alive?

LOST: How To Move An Island


Popular Mechanics has an article that says it just might be possible to move the island using the electromagnetic fields of the island:

So just how can Locke move the island–-and where will he move it, for that matter? Michio Kaku, author of “Physics of the Impossible,” told us he thinks that Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are using the island’s unique properties —namely its electromagnet and the Casimir Effect hinted at in the Orchid Station orientation video—to open a transversible wormhole to different points in time and space. (Über-baddie Keamy seemed to verify that when he pulled the Orchid-Station-emblazed “secondary protocol” from the ship’s safe. He said the document would tell him “where Linus is going. If Linus knows we’re going to torch the island, there’s only one place he could go.”)
