Lost Hiatus

[Stew]

Just in case you've been looking about the intertubes for the next episode of Lost. It's off for four weeks, and returns on the 24th of April on US television at a new 10pm timeslot. Here's some stuff to keep you in the mood.

"Lost: Missing Pieces":
Thirteen mobisodes released on Verizon Wireless and then a week later on ABC.com. Each mobisode consists of 2-3 minute stories of new moments from Lost, revealing answers and new details about the characters. You can watch them at Mobisodes & ABC or Mobisodes @ Lost Spoilers.

The Oceanic Six are Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun and Aaron. Tom is in fact gay. Cuse and Lindelof allude that Desmond and Minkowski's time traveling illness may be the sickness Rousseau spoke of. They probably aren't going to go back to show any more details about the Swan imploding, namely how the characters were expelled from it. However, they suggest we haven't seen our last purple sky as there are other periodic electromagnetic events that occur and one is coming up this year. Word associations: Ben's mother : apparition, Sawyer's wild boar : animal, medusa spider that paralyzed Nikki : monster, Hurley's bird : no comment, Dave : figment of imagination/apparition, Yemi : monster, Mikhail's cat named Nadia : animal/coincidence, Walt : person/apparition that may not be Walt/monster-related, Boone : monster (joking), Jack : apparition (joking), Kate's horse : undead. Writer Edward Kitsis loves the name "Lapidus" and has been trying to get it on the show forever, so it's shown up in "Exposé" and then he lobbied for one of the freighter people to be named it. On the subject of Aaron being raised by another: if you believe Malkin is a psychic, then Aaron is in danger; if you believe Malkin is a fraud, then Aaron is fine. You will learn more about the Black Rock and the four-toed statue. Charlotte Lewis's background as a cultural anthropologist is significant, namely how she would study ancient cultures.

So 5 more episodes and thats it? If i'm right to believe.

It seems to be getting worse

[Stew]

I forgot to add in that because of the new 10pm timeslot the finale will be two separate episodes, aired a week apart. So, in effect, just two regular episodes. Bit shit, really.

[Awright]

Aye, I'd prefer a double bill.

When are they finishing the show? I thought the ratings slump made it likely they'd only do 4 seasons?

Six seasons, ending in 2010.

[pANDAS Radio]

48 episodes left (including the 8 we've now seen)? That's at least 12 lines of plot explaination they've still to write.

Thanks for posting. Didn't really like the mobisodes but they've kept me ticking over, don't know what to replace my lost addiciton with...

[pANDAS Radio]

Try Pushing Daisies.

[Elfaba]

the last two episodes i saw had absolutely no sawyer in them at all

i was greatly unimpressed by this

i dunno im finding it really hard to get back into cos i missed all of season three

might try getting it on dvd and then catching up and see if i can make any more sense of it, but its frustrating me just now cos i think ive missed too much

[pANDAS Radio]

If you missed season 3 then it's no wonder you're confused, might as well download season 3 to see if you think it's worth buying.
