Lost Official Podcast: 30 Oct 2006
October 31st 2006 18:40
The Lost podcast for 30 Oct 2006 had several interesting bits of information. Damon and Carlton came right out and said some specific things. There are a few things that I think are important for the discerning fan of Lost to know, but I'm including the spoiler tag at the top for those who don't want to know what's not clearly shown on air.
There is also a huge major plot spoiler near the middle of the post. I'll put extra spoiler tags there for those who might want to know some, but not all the info in this podcast. Personally, I'd skip the huge major plot spoiler. If I could, I'd forget I know it.
*** Spoiler ***
There were no actor interviews this week, just Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and their wacky words of wisdom.
They started out talking a little about the last episode, "Every Man for Himself". They surprised me when they said there was a Stephen King shoutout buried in that episode. They will not reveal what it was, so someone please comment below and enlighten me. They also discussed the implications of the discovery of a separate island on the prisoners. The cages seem relatively easy to get out of, but the real prison is the small island. Escape will not be as simple as it might have been.
They stepped back for a moment to clarify a bit of "The Glass Ballerina". They clarified that Jae *did* commit suicide. So much for my grand conspiracy theories. He actually jumped. Jin told him he was dead and to leave the country and Jae took the first bit literally. They said this was an unintentional mystery.
In "Every Man for Himself", we found out that Sawyer might have a daughter, Clementine. When asked if we will hear more of her, they joked that by season sixteen of Lost, she will be a prominent character.
Implications of Colleen's death. Jack was quick to help the Others after all they'd done to him and his friends, but that's Jack. They made a joke about Jack's onscreen surgical history. He seems to have lost an awful lot of patients—nearly every one that we know of. Damon and Carlton emphasized that it was not Jack's fault that Colleen died.
X-rays: we'll find out whose they are very soon, before the hiatus. That's either "Cost of Living" or "I Do", this week or next.
There is a good likelihood that Danny Pickett will seek vengeance as a grieving husband. That tidbit bears on my own theories that the Others have a very Us vs. Them attitude and that, to the Others, everyone else is interchangeable.
*** Really Big Major Plot Spoiler ***
This week's episode, "The Cost of Living", will be a Mr. Eko story. Someone significant will die this week. Joked about Scott or Steve dying in season one.
*** Really Big Major Plot Spoiler is past ***
Fan questions
I grouped these by the person asking them.
Do you back up the position of the long break? Yes
Will you run episodes consistently next season? No, 22 or 23 episodes for 35 weeks
Did the polar bears escape before or after the collapse of Dharma? During the collapse of Dharma
Did the bears' escape cause the collapse of Dharma? No
How many Dharma people did the bears eat? All of the bears in total? Do children count? If it eats just your leg and you survive, does that count as being eaten? 19, wait 20. (Are Damon and Carlton serious with this answer? Or just kidding?)
Is Ben mean and evil because the bears stole his toy truck when he was a kid? No
Did Jae jump or was he thrown? (They answered that one earlier.)
If the hatch imploded, how were all the people blown out? "In the laws of physics such as they exist in the world of lost, the implosion created a vacuum, and as the air came in to fill that vacuum, it rapidly heated and expanded causing an explosion. So it was sort of a thermodynamic incident where an implosion was followed by a subsequent explosion."
Yes or no, does Kate love Sawyer? Yes
The four wise monkeys which can be viewed here (web address not given by Damon and Carlton) ... is there a philosophical reference to "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil"? They didn't know what the fourth one would be. The naked monkey? Charlie was not involved in the explosion. His ears were ringing. Eko will not be blind. Locke was temporarily mute. Desmond's nakedness has nothing to do with anything.
Will there be a gay character? Yes, there is a good possibility one of the characters will be found to be gay.
They are currently writing episode 10, which will be a Hurley flashback. (We won't see that one until late February or early March of 2007.)
Why do the Losties confuse Scott and Steve? It's just a running gag.
Was the turbine man from the pilot, Gary Troup, the author of Bad Twin? Yes
When will more of the background cast get their moments in the spotlight? Will be seeing more of Paulo and Nikki this week. We will find out what the redshirts are doing while Jack and the others are off on adventures.
That's it for this week. That was quite a spoiler they gave for "Cost of Living". I kind of wish I didn't know it.
There is also a huge major plot spoiler near the middle of the post. I'll put extra spoiler tags there for those who might want to know some, but not all the info in this podcast. Personally, I'd skip the huge major plot spoiler. If I could, I'd forget I know it.
