Because You Left - Lost Season Five Premiere
The fifth season premiere of everyone’s favorite television series, Lost, will be titled “Because You Left,” according to Entertainment Weekly columnist “Doc” Jeff Jensen. The premiere is expected to air at the end of January 2009, and should include at least two new characters, according to DarkUFO’s spoilers site.
If we could just skip this fall and the whole holiday season, I would be fine with that. Bring me January, and bring it to me now!
No Flashes in LOST Season Five
“We have something new this year,” says Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse, in reference to 2009’s fifth season. “We’re going to mix it up.”
This quote comes from a BBC piece posted by DarkUFO earlier this morning. Cuse’s partner-in-crime, Damon Lindelof, adds: “When season five starts, you won’t know when or where you are. And the way we tell stories will be different too.”
E! Online gossip gal Kristin Dos Santos, in trying to describe what her source is telling her about season five’s structure, says “Think about the Jin and Sun episode from last season.”
Interesting… very interesting.
Also interesting (and I’ll end on this note): speculation over in the comments section of this DarkUFO article. It seems that the person who is behind the camera in the latest Dharma video (which I mentioned in yesterday’s linkdump) is someone the audience has met before, and that it’s someone who definitely should not be a fully-grown adult when the video is being shot, but is.
Lost News: More Christian and Widmore Next Season?
DarkUFO has the latest Lost scoopage from Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello, and it’s pretty darned cool news, if you ask me.
In the piece, Ausiello asks fellow Lost columnist Doc Jensen about what a certain bit of fine print in the contracts of John Terry (Christian) and Alan Dale (Widmore) might mean:
Well, here’s where it gets interesting: In the fine print of both their contracts, it states that Lost has the right to pick up series regular options on both actors for the show’s sixth and final season. For insight into what this could possibly portend for Lost’s endgame, please join me in welcoming the man, the myth the legend, guru of all things Lost, Mr. Doc Jensen! “The prospect of expansive roles for Jack’s maybe-dead dad and Penelope’s dastardly deep-pocketed pop suggests a theory about the Island’s true significance. Here is a seemingly-magical place where the lame can walk anew, the impotent can once more shoot bullets, and anyone can crank on ancient donkey wheels and leap through time. In other words, the Island provides the means for death-spooked mortals to cheat the grim reaper. I’m betting that’s why Old Man Widmore is so desperate to find it. As for Ghost Dad, the Island allows him to stick around in his inexplicable spectral state and might even be facilitating a full-blown bodily resurrection; either scenario represents a violation of the natural order of things. In the end, Jack will no doubt have to convince his father—and possibly his maybe-dead half-sister Claire, too—that they need to move on. Regardless, keeping Terry around portends an emotional climax to Jack’s father issue arc.” Really? You got all of that from my one little casting item? Cool.
I love that there are people out there in the mainstream media who are as nuts about this show as we all are. Stuff like this is what makes the wait from the end of May until the beginning of February much more bearable.
