LOST Spoilers - The ODI

Here are some more details about the finale via Damon and Carlton who confirm whether we will see Richard again or not and more!!

Thanks to IGN for this interview:

IGN: Should we be thinking Richard suffered an unceremonious death?

Lindelof: When the Monster hit him?

Carlton Cuse: No, I think that would be way too unceremonious for a character as important as Richard. So let's just say that was a bus stop, but…

Lindelof: A bus stopped right on his face!

Cuse: A bus stopped right on his face. Exactly! You will be seeing more of Richard in the finale.

IGN: There was a quick line Desmond had this week about Ana Lucia and how she wasn't "ready yet." Is that something you might have time to delve into?

Lindelof: Well, all we can say is that in "Happily Ever After," when Desmond confronted Eloise Hawking and he wanted to know why she wouldn't reveal to him why Penny's name was on this guest list, she said to him that he should stop asking these questions, because he wasn't ready. So that was the other time we heard that word. Ready for what exactly...?

Cuse: It's meant to be an intriguing clue that you are right to be pondering.

IGN: There's so much hype for the finale. There's a big countdown clock just a block away, in Times Square…

Lindelof: We just saw that!

Cuse: We were driving down here to the Times Center and said, "Oh my god!"

Lindelof: It's nice to see how many more seconds that people will care about us.

IGN: The fandom of this show is intense and you obviously want to deliver a satisfying conclusion, but at a certain point how do you tune out all the fan expectations, so you don't get overwhelmed and can just do your work?

Cuse: I think we try to just stay inwardly focused. We've sort of done our job. The finale is made. We put our last shot in Monday night. The hay is in the proverbial barn and we're going to watch it with our closest collaborators and our spouses and that's the perfect group of people. We've all worked together for six years on the show. We all care enormously about each other and that will be a really great experience. So we're looking forward to sort of the shared communal experience of experiencing the finale together with the people we've worked with. Television is enormously collaborative, so to share that experience with all those people will be really special.

Lindelof: We really care, deeply, what the fans think and of course we want them to love it. But at the same time, we acknowledge that there's no finale that we could have made that everybody would love. Therefore, we set out to basically make ourselves happy, because people are going to see the finale. It's almost here. We could tell you right now, some people are going to say it's the worst finale in the history of television and other people are going to say it's the best finale in the history of television. It's just a matter of percentages.

Cuse: Our mothers are going to say it's the best finale.

Lindelof: My mother has to say it. She's right behind you! [Lindelof points past me, where his mother is indeed standing]. But essentially, we've been doing a lot of press, and 50% of the reporters are asking us, "So, do you guys feel a tremendous amount of pressure to live up to the awesomeness of The Sopranos finale?" And we answer that, and the other 50% say, "Are you afraid of pissing people off with an unsatisfying copout in the same way that The Sopranos finale did?" And we look at it and go, "Okay, well, we've now gotten a glimpse at our own future." Which is that both camps are going to exist.

IGN: People tend to grab onto every aspect of this show, including things that might never have been intended to be a big mystery. Is there one that keeps coming back, where you're constantly amused people are putting a lot of importance into it?

Cuse: I think that there are a few kind of questions that surface, like are we ever going to see the Hurley Bird again. There was this huge bird flying around the island that made a cry that sounded like he was saying Hurley. We had just mentioned in the last couple of days that there's going to be a feature on the DVDs which will, sort of in an entertaining way, answer some of these questions that are unanswered. The show speaks for itself and it's not something anyone needs to see, but for people who are curious about some of these unanswered questions that fall into the category that you're talking about, then the DVD feature will be very enjoyable.

Lindelof: And then there are the Kate's plane phenomenon, where we actually think we've given a pretty good answer, but the question still is pervasive.

Cuse: "What are the polar bears?"

Lindelof: What are the polar bears, or, "What's the story with Aaron?" And we go, okay, the story with Aaron is that a psychic told Claire that he was special, but then subsequently, in an Eko episode, we revealed that the psychic was a fraud. So people are like, "Why is Aaron special?" and we're like, "But, that wasn't true. That guy was a liar." "Well, why did The Others abduct him?" Well, the Others revealed that they abducted him because he was a baby born on the island, and they wanted to see if there was anything they could glean scientifically to solve their fertility issues.

And so there it is in the show, in black and white, but people still say, "So why is Aaron special?!" or, "What are you going to reveal about him?" Aaron became emotionally special, because Kate ended up having to raise him and she ended up returning to the island to bring Claire back home. So that's why he's special. But if you're looking for the answer to, "What are his superpowers?" or "When will he finally deploy his laser eyes?", the answer is… the finale. He deploys his laser eyes in the finale.

IGN: And we should assume the obvious, regarding who the mother of Jack's son is, I assume... It's pretty clearly going to be Nikki, right?

Lindelof: [Laughs] Yes! Wow! You're the first person who cracked it.

Cuse: Yes, Nikki!

IGN: You know, I just had a feeling…

Lindelof: Oh my god. They'll never see that coming!

I recently had the opportunity to have an in depth chat with one of my longest and most trusted sources about the final few episodes of Lost.

It's been a wonderful opportunity to have a contact like this to chat and confirm a variety of spoilers over the years and to provide our readers with little snippets/games/teasers for upcoming episodes.

I've summarised the answers and questions below which obviously go behind the now infamous "Are You Sure" buttons.

I hope you enjoy it.

DARKUFO: Do you feel fans should be spoiled for this conclusion/last episode?
SOURCE: I don't think they should.


DARKUFO Did you enjoy the Season Finale?
SOURCE: Yes I did, very much.


DARKUFO What ranking would you give it for our episode table?
SOURCE 10 out of 10.


DARKUFO What have been your other top episodes of the series and which episode is the finale the most similar to in your opinion?

SOURCE My top five episodes of the series in no particular order are...
Walkabout
Man Of Science Man Of Faith
The Other 48 Days
Through The Looking Glass
316

And I think the finale feels the most like The Incident. And by that I mean on island events with a multi centric alt story in place of the multi centric Jacob visitation scenes in The Incident.

DARKUFO: I myself am really looking forward to how they are going to end the show myself.I'd like to see an ending that leave us not
questioning what we have just seen but more along the lines of looking back over the previous 6 seasons and re-evaluating it. For Reference my Favourite episodes are.

Walkabout
Ab Aeterno
The Other 48 Days
The Man Behind the Curtain
Through The Looking Glass


DARKUFO Without spoiling the details, what parts of the Finale were most satisfying?

SOURCE Geez, I don't know how to answer that without being too spoilery. All the alt "realization" moments were very satisfying.

Since every finale has a Locke/Jack showdown of sorts this one culminating with a huge cliffside fight didn't disappoint. I was satisfied with Kate's romantic choice but I know a good group of people might not be.


DARKUFO Were there any parts that you found disappointing?

SOURCE Not really. I have disappointments with the series as a whole when I think about certain elements that I thought were important and ended up being pointless in retrospect. The story definitely ends, it feels very much complete, but like other fans I got sucked into the online discussion and theories and a lot of things people have read into the show weren't, or aren't, really there. Example: There isn't any Ji Yeon or grown up Aaron. Unless they show up in the last act that no one really knows about besides the actors involved.


DARKUFO How many scenes from your knowledge were missing? IE secret scenes? What makes you think you know what is in the last scene?

SOURCE I don't know for certain what the last scene is, or how many are in the last act. But my guess is Jacks "realization" moment in the alt. And when you look at how long the scenes are throughout The End when characters in the alt have their "Realization" moments I can safely predict the last act is going to just be that Jack moment.

Maybe there is one last scene that will surprise me. But after seeing the brilliant structure to the stories on this show it would be out of place to show too much of something else.


DARKUFO Which of the mysteries were explained well in the finale? Which ones have been left unanswered or at a loose end?

SOURCE Surprisingly there are more questions. People are still alive in the on island timeline who are also alive in the Alt world. I think they answered the mythology questions before The End starts. The End is character payoff.


DARKUFO Which character came out the best from the Finale?

SOURCE Kate probably just because they really redeemed her character.

DARKUFO Wow, really. Kate gets a pretty bad rep in the comments on our site so that's going to be interesting to see the reaction after the finale has aired.


DARKUFO Favourite scene of the finale?

SOURCE Locke's "realization" in the alt.


DARKUFO Saddest Scene of the Finale?

SOURCE Maybe the end just because its over? This episode was full of tear twinging moments but they are the happy variety.


DARKUFO Most shocking scene of the finale

SOURCE When Locke is killed on island. I guessed they would kill the smoke monster but its shocking because of who kills him.

Thanks to Flyer for the heads up.

We're assuming the Lost finale was not shot chronologically. Can you tell us what to look for on Sunday so we can know when we're watching what the actual last scene shot was?
I can tell you there was some discussion about what would be the last shot, and I decided that I wanted the last shot to involve Terry O'Quinn and Matthew Fox. And it was not an entirely popular choice on the production end because it meant keeping the actors a little longer and not getting them off of the clock. Blah blah bah. I insisted the last shot of our series was not going to be something arbitrary. In fact, we did three takes of it. And it involved a crane. It was a shot in the picture and it involved a crane with the two of them. We rehearsed it and we did take one and I said, "Well, that was wonderful guys, but I'm not ready to let go yet." So we did it again and I said, "That was also wonderful, but I can't say it yet." And then, on the third take, I said, "Well, I guess I have to say it now — that's a wrap." And that was our last shot, at 5:30 in the morning as the sun was coming up.

UPDATE: Here are two clips that are the full video of the event! Thanks to DarkUFO for the heads up!




NY Times Talk - Finale Extended Sneak Peek and Spoilers



- Just got back, not too many spoilers...but Carlton did let out that we will see Walt again before all is said and done.
- they also referenced that one of the final scenes involves a lot of characters and that the very final scene has been known since season 1
- One of the fans in the audience asked if Desmond's line to Jack in the 2nd season when they first meet in the stadium and Desmond tells Jack "You have to lift it up" would have any relevance to the finale. Damon & Carlton said "you will not be disappointed."
- The bigger one, though, was confirmation that we will see Walt in the finale. Yes, Walt.
- Eloise's knowledge is relevant for the finale.
- Walt will be back in some form.
- Damon would not directly address why Smokey was pulling Locke down that hole in the S1 finale, so that could be relevant. Same with whether or not Jacob is actually good, and whether or not there's anything worth protecting down in the Light Cave.
- There will be a Star Wars reference in the first 7 minutes of the finale.
- Hurley was involved in the final scene (we knew this already).
- A clip was shown, pretty much an extended version of the Sawyer/Ben/Flocke one posted here. Sawyer tells Locke that he thinks Desmond is needed for destroying the Island, Locke says yes. Sawyer then takes Ben's gun, punches him, and walks away while saying that the group he's a part of "aren't candidates anymore". Locke then remarks that the Island will be at the bottom of the ocean when he's done with it, prompting Ben to question his loyalty (Ben was promised the Island in return for his help, and assumed that its destruction was figurative and not literal). Locke then invited him to join him on his boat as he watches the Island sink. He kneels down to the ground near the well and notices pawprints.
He realizes that a dog had been there.
- Also, mirrors are very relevant.
- When Ben asks why Flocke isn't running to chase him down Flocke explains that he intends to use Desmond to destroy the Island. Naturally Ben isn't too pleased.
- The extended clip ends with Flocke examining the ground near the well and stating that a dog had been there.
- Widmore was lying when he said Jacob visited him

Enjoy!

Don’t give anything specific away, but is this week’s ‘Lost’ a spectacular episode with lots of questions answered, or is it just so-so? – Steven via Facebook
Spectacular is a strong word (and one typically associated with Teri Hatcher’s… comedy chops), but yeah, ‘What They Died For” is very solid. Among other things, it features, like, the best campfire story ever, a reveal about someone we thought wasn’t a candidate, and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ finale-levels of bloodshed. There’s also a significant development regarding Jacob’s successor.

Will we see Rose and Bernard one more time before ‘Lost’ ends? – James
Yes, in Sunday’s series finale. And when the marrieds resurface, they’re still wielding a “Don’t harsh my mellow” ‘tude as their idyllic existence is rudely intruded upon (and then some). L. Scott Caldwell, who plays Rose, told me she herself isn’t fond of Rose’s lack of hospitality, seeing as the fans had come to regard the character as “quite peaceful.” So in her mind, R&B “were probably eating wild mushrooms or something else that changed their attitude!”

So, Juliet/Sawyer – happily ever after? Yes? – Ryan
Interpret Josh Holloway’s assessment of Sunday’s two-and-a-half hour series finale as you wish: “[It's] un-freakin’-believable… Everything I hoped it would do, it did.”

Episode 6x15 Across the Sea - What to Expect

Next Week Is Unlike Anything You've Seen on Lost Before. Swear. And though we've all been told that none of the series regulars appear, that is actually not true. Spoiler Alert: You will see three of the main leads in a very surprising throwback moment that lets you know that the producers totally knew what they were doing as of season one. (Boo-ya!) Allison Janney guest stars, along with two other actors you know, and a few others you don't. You'll learn much much more about the history of the island and the evil, and light, within. Pay close attention to every line Allison's character says and every line (or lack thereof) on her face. Oh, and DVR it. 'Cause you'll need to watch it twice.

Episode 6x15 - New ABC Promo

Our good friends at the NY Post Pop Wrap blog sent over this nice tidbit.

Enjoy!

Robyn from Pittsburgh: You're killing us with no Lost scoop this past week. No episode, no scoop. Throw us a small tease or something, anything, please!
I felt lost too. What will we do come June? OK, scoop you may or may not know: This week's episode is most definitely a game changer, and there will be at least one major death. Quite honestly, I'm expecting to cry harder watching this episode than I ever have watching this show. So bring out that industrial-sized Kleenex box, my friends. Also, we'll see the Man in Black's (Terry O'Quinn) true colors. And surprise, they aren't all rainbow-y. This episode and the episode that follows will most definitely have everyone talking. Next Tuesday, episode 15, is the one with no series regulars that also guest stars Allison Janney, and it has a very cool Aha! moment that will make you realize show runners Damon and Carlton did know where they were going from the very beginning. Can you believe the show is really all about alien polar bear ninjas? I know! Me neither! (Tee hee.)

Randall in New York: I hate to ask, but is there anything good coming up for Kate and Sawyer? I hate to ask 'cause I fear the answer.
I don't know much, but I do know they'll end up back in those cages. But not with the same boom-chicka-bow-wow outcome you may be hoping for. Sorry. Honestly, there's so much going on as far as life-and-death shockers and the mythology of the series that from what I know, there isn't a whole lot of relationship focus in the next couple of episodes. That said, you will see Kate show some emotion this week.

Source: E! Online

UPDATE: May 3rd - The script pages have been confirmed as REAL, so do NOT read them unless you want to really know what will happen.

So it seems after a week or so after the leaked call sheet hit the net now some "leaked" script pages have also found their way online!?

For a couple of seasons there have been no leaks like this and now with in two weeks pages for the finale have been leaked??

The call sheet has been confirmed as real and well according to our good friend DarkUFO's sources these pages seem legit.

The pages were leaked via an Italian site and I believe ABC has their legal team working away.

There are no major reveals but the pages seem to reveal some interesting details and almost a whole act which includes a few scenes.

Enjoy!

Here is a link to Dark's Rumors page, but as we said these are pretty much confirmed as real. Check out the page below and if you are ok with this material then check out the link for more.
