Lost Hiatus - Update
3 months, 3 weeks ago by WillRead more: ABC, Ben, Rousseau
The hiatus blues have seriously kicked in after 8 fantastic episodes of Lost so far this season - now the wait starts again… Here are some interesting things happening in the Lost-world to keep your mind occupied (24 more days until Season 4 resumes!):
*Find815.com Part II - The Find815.com homepage was updated with the following message from Sam Thomas:
Not sleeping again.
Something’s still not right.The reporters have stopped calling. Everyone is moving on. Flight 815 is a closed book for them. They think they have all the answers they need.
But I don’t…
S.T.
This could be an indication of a restart in the ARG - or a prelude to something we can expect at the conclusion of Season 4…
*The title of Episode 9 has been released by ABC - “The Shape of Things To Come”; there is also an episode description circulating out there that is a bit spoiler-esque, so I will leave it off of the blog until the EP preview in a few weeks - needless to say it looks to be awesome!
*Article in The Age about Season 4 - This article provides a pretty good recap of Season 4 thus far. I find the comment about Ben/Michael Emerson to be spot-on:
The greatest transformation, however, is happening with the nominal villain, Ben Linus (Michael Emerson). Lonely child, patricidal killer, manipulator and instigator of abduction and mass murder, he’s slowly evolving into the most important character on Lost. He creates confusion within confusion, but it’s increasingly unclear whether he’s a true believer or a malignant force.
Take “Meet Kevin Johnson” as the most recent example - where Ben once again flexes his truly unique manipulative powers - what a head case Michael must be now after that end-around!?!
Also, I would be interested in your thoughts about whether or not Ben was responsible for setting up Rousseau and Karl - and if not, then who do you think will ultimately be responsible for their (attempted) murders? There were some comments about this in the MKJ post - but I think it’s worth discussing a bit further.
DocH pointed out, rightfully so, the most subscribed to theory thus far:
Guess we won’t get the Rousseau FB after all (or Karl). Bet the target practice on the boat had the same shooters that dropped Danielle and Karl. HMMMMM? Karl and Danielle were the two that stood between Ben and Alex. How much do you want to bet that Ben is behind their deaths? You know… to get closer to Alex.
It’s possible Rousseau is still breathing - she has continued to find a way to survive on the Island for sometime (not quite as spectacularly as Patchy, but close). However, I’m not exactly sold on who the shooters were. Ben sent them off together, and I doubt he was crazy enough to do that had he not absolutely known Alex would be safe and the other two would be eliminated. So, what possibilities does that leave for the “who dunnit” in terms of trigger-pulling?

In meet Keven Johnson Michael had a flashback to the crew skeetshooting on the freighter and they rarely hit the target. I wonder if this was to show that is was one of the others who did the sharpshooting. Could it have been Sayid, doing his first dirtywork for Ben?

Oooh, Circus Mom, that is a good theory. But Sayid was on the freighter at that time, wasn’t he? Maybe it was Locke? If Ben was able to convince Locke to let him go, (after Ben tried to KILL Locke!) who KNOWS what Ben could convince Locke to do.
I wonder what “The Shape of Thing to Come” references? Sun’s belly? The newest form of the smoke monster? The four toed statue?
Counting down the days… how many LAA meeting ARE there in the next 24 days? LOL

Weren’t they using automatic weapons on the freighter? The shots we saw were aimed, steady shots, with a silencer possibly. They did not seem like the shots that would come from an automatic weapon. CircusMom is right, they were not very good shots.
I watched the first episodes again and never realized that OUR beloved doctor Jack took flying lessons. Who needs the Lawnmower Man? Jack can use the line from the Govenator, “GET TO THE CHOPPER”, and fly them outta there.

Two theories on the deaths(?) of Carl and Rousseau
-#1 I don’t know, but it seems pretty obvious that Ben knew exactly what he was doing,sending Carl and Rousseau to get sharpshooted to death.My money is on the guy with the eyeliner who never ages…whats his name(now i have to look it up it)
-#2 But it could also be that Lepedis(remember he and the chopper were missing from the frieghter last episode)was on a run to drop off the sniper team in the bushes before sending in Omar and the boys.Now im not in the military so take it with a grain of salt but it would seem to me thats the order you would do something like that.Snipers first,grunts second.
But between the two theories …I say its Richard Alpert(and yes i had to look it up)
thoughts?

Circus Mom wrote:
Someone brought that up once before. I don’t know if the writers realize this, but most sharp shooting is not done with rapid fire automatice weapons like the once used in the skeet shooting scene. It’s actually VERY difficult to hit skeet this way. The sharp shooters may have used these same weapons, but only one shot at a time and likley with a high powered scope. So IMO you can’t discount them missing skeet with an automatic weapon as reasons to think they are not sharp shooters.
Comment 8, posted 3 months, 3 weeks ago - Quote and reply
Rousseau and Karl have been killed by a SWAT team from the ship. The helicopter has been gone for about a day. It went to the island to get Ben’s daughter to use as collateral. Ben did not have Rousseau or Karl killed.

Very good, viable idea - minor input… Small assault team - VERY BIG island. How’d they manage to ambush Rousseau (party of 3)? on a specific trail - to specific loccation - at specifically the right time?
Poss 1: The assault team surveyed the Barracks and eye-balled their target (Alex) leaving they moved to set the ambush.
Poss 2: Someone inside the Barracks knew of the trek and warned/activated the assault team.
2A: Ben (as suggested) - to get Alex to the Temple, or off-island, or away from mom & beau, etc..
2B: Hidden camera(s) in the Barracks saw the Ben map and activated/tasked the assault team. Who?
-2B1: Ben forces on the freighter?
-2B2: Anti-Ben forces on the freighter?
-2B3: Anti-Ben forces on the island?
-2B4: Ben forces on the island?
-2B5: Disgruntled Others (now anti-Ben) on the island?
2C: Someone inside the Barracks (Team Locke). How about Miles? He is “exactly where he wants to be.”
Comment 10, posted 3 months, 3 weeks ago - Quote and reply
I am leaning towards the assualt was from the folks on the freighter and that their mission was two fold. To get Alex as a hostage so that they can take Ben alive and to attack the rest of the islands population.
I think this for two reasons:
1. If we step back and DON’T over analyze the events and look at it like the casual viewer, it points that way. Ben tells us that “they” would want Alex to use against him, the gun toter indicates there is a mission and makes sure Lapidus will not be late (as though he has an “appointment”).
2. If Ben set it up and the folks who didn’t shoot Karl and Danielle leave Alex their alone(otherwise Alex would know that Ben killed Karl) why would he risk her safety and being alone in the jungle.

I sure with we had the edit ability back:
In point 2. I meant to say: …the folks who shot Karl and Danielle leave Alex there alone…

I know that I have read that before, about being 5 episodes. But, if you read that article from WIll above, it states seven episodes and that is a pretty recent article. Just wondering if maybe they changed their mind or is the author of that article completely wrong

The article Will references comes from an Australian source. It could well be that they are two episodes behind us.
The author’s numbers are wacky anyway, because he says “THERE are 39 episodes of Lost left — seven to finish this year’s writers’ strike-shortened season, 16 in 2009, and 16 in 2010.”
I don’t believe he is, but if the author is correct and we DO have seven episodes left in the season, there would still be a one episode deficit in the total which means that either season five or six would have 17 episodes.
This all leads me to believe that the author is both mistaken AND that Australian television is at a different place in the season. *bg*
The bottom line, though, is that if TPTB had changed their mind about the remaining episodes for the season, I am pretty sure ABC would have announced it on their website or on a podcast.

The title is very intriguing. Not only is it a song by the greatest song writer ever, IMO, Chris Cornell; more importantly, it was a book written by HG wells back in the 30’s.
In this book he foreshadowed what was gonna happen in WWII. Cities being detroyed from airstrikes. He beleived that the war would last into the 1960’s, being ended by a plague that almost destorys civilization. He also beleived that the solution to mankinds problems was a “world state”, being run by a dictatorship. This dictatorship promotes science, enforces basic English as a global language, and gets rid of religion. When this dictatorship needs to get rid of political opponents, it gives them a chance to take a poison tablet in the envronment of their choice.

Carl is dead. Danielle will die, but not yet. One more episode with her with some fb’s as she’s dying. They had to kill off Carl. ( don’t know if I can go into it on this blog).
No coincidence on this show. Ben sends them out there one a path and they get shot. Patchy could come back?

“This could be an indication of a restart in the ARG - or a prelude to something we can expect at the conclusion of Season 4…”
Yeah, makes sense. Since the ARG let us know that a duplicate jet was found and we now that we know the O6 will be getting off the island soon they will likely address the planted jet again in the ARG. I am anxious to see how Oceanic explains the survivors of a broken plane when an intact plane was found.

Intact planes don’t sink right away. If they are safely (correctly) “ditched” , they may float for minutes, time to evacuate many Losties.

Though I will admit, Jack nor anyone else said anything about the plane breaking apart in the FFs.
So you figuring the story will just be, “Oh, the eight of us got our seat belts off and open a door…everyone else just sat there and breathed in water…I was like, “Dudes…you should go with us O8.” But they were like, “No, save yourselves…go on without us O316.” So we started swimming but two of us decided to stop swimming and breathe water. So I was like “Dudes, you should come with us O6.” But they were like, “No, save yourselves…go on without us O2.”….?

I guess intact isn’t the correct word. I appears to me that the planes pieces separated at the bottom of the ocean as opposed to breaking apart in the air or on impact.
The video is in “Confirmed Dead”.
Comment 24, posted 3 months, 3 weeks ago - Quote and reply
Ok. Thanks. Not trying to split hairs. I thought i had missed something.
So the Faux plane was supposed to have either broken apart when it hit the water, just before or after it sank?

We may never know…(we may also never get the story of how the 8 got out alive either)but the way the plane pieces are laying, it would be very odd that it broke apart before it hit the bottom. Who ever put the plane there placed the pieces right next to each other in order. To me, if it would have broken apart before hand the parts would be separated and maybe upside down or strewn about. The current media story is all 326 are dead, so obviously there will have to be some updated media story about how 8 got out and the 6 survived.
So I guess I’m splitting hairs too, but 8 people getting out of what you see in the video alive is pretty far fetched.

I guess the seating chart would help explain a story if we knew where Sun and Sayid were seated. Hugo, Jack, Claire(w/Aaron) and Kate were all in twenty-something rows.

Ha! Far fetched. I remeber watching the first episode thinking, “These people survived that plane wreck? Little far fetched for me.” Now I can’t stop talking about it.
I totaly get what your saying. However put the plane there ( Widmore/Ben) may have made a mistake.

You are correct though, who ever put it there assumed there would never be six folks getting off the island. Seems like the story will be six people getting off, followed by some of them getting back on, followed by…????
Comment 31, posted 3 months, 3 weeks ago - Quote and reply
So whoever put the fake plane in the ocean either didn’t know there were any survivors at the time they put the plane there, or figured they could stop any survivors from going public with their story. I wonder which it is…. I guess if we knew when the plane was planted we would have some idea as to which of my theories is correct (if either one is).

/////////////////
just a couple of questions,
if you were planting a faux plane in the ocean ,you would first wait until all hope of finding survivours was gone..?at what point would that be?surly it would be just as well to search for survivors from the original plane?
If they new the where the original went down.
In short, why would a person or persons, dig up 326 bodies from a cemetery
In Thailand,transport them to a faux plane dump it in the ocean and claim it to be flight 815,and run the risk of the original being found with survivors or even dead bodies?Was the faux plane dumped there before the crash ?how far was the faux plane to the island ?
Have I not been paying attention in class?
Did I miss something?
Whats my name??
Why am I covered in fur??
Easy now!……
………Deep breaths! !

Hmmm.
The devastating tsunami of 12/26/2004 originated from an earthquake IN Indonesia. I wonder if that will play into the placement of the phoney fuselage. We have been told that it is so deep that they have no hope of recovering the bodies.

Soooooooooooooooo!Naomi,didnt know what the captain knew .she was convinced,every one had died and the plane had gone down,when she was talking to charlie?so she didnt know about the ringer.
The black box on the freighter,was it the dummy one or the 815?
the captain seems to know both ends of the story ie. he knows about the ringer plane ,widmore, and how much the operation cost he also knew ,des knew widmore.
and about the island and survivors.
just recapping. seems the ideal time to do it , during this rest

It would be close, I think it’s day 99 on the island which would be Dec. 29th, the tsunami what Dec. 26th. With time not being exactly what we think, who knows?
Here is what lostpedia has:
” Day 99 - Wednesday, December 29, 2004 (on the Island)/Monday, December 27, 2004 (on the Kahana)1
“Meet Kevin Johnson”
* Sayid and Desmond confront Michael, who tells them the story of how he came to be Kevin Johnson.
* Sayid reveals Michael’s identity to Captain Gault.
* On the way to the Temple, Danielle, Alex and Karl are ambushed. Rousseau and Karl are shot before Alex surrenders.
Notes
1 There is an inconsistancy in the timeline information provided by the show. Following the timeline of events by observation of statements and events in the show itself leads to a time calculation that is two days ahead of the explicit date references presented in the enhanced episodes of Lost and in “The Constant”. As there is at present no method to explain the inconsistancy, dual dates are presented. The first set of dates presented correspond to the calculated dates on the Island as per observation of the show. The second set of dates reflect dates calculated based on the calander presented on the Kahana in “The Constant”. The two sets of dates should not be taken as endorsing or proving any theories about time gaps between the Island and the outside world. The difference in the calculated dates in the timeline is currently considered unexplained pending further canonical information.”

The Sunda Trench is where the tsunami originated from. What a coincidence( or is it fate). It is the second deepest trench in the Indian Ocean. Maybe that is an excuse they use to call of any retrieval mission. Our freighter is somewhere near the Fiji islands in the South Pacific. I am not sure if the Fiji Isalnds and the sorrounding ocean was affected by that tsunami.

I totally agree with you that the spot where the fake wreckage was found would make no sense. It makes sense from the standpoint of the person who planted it there. Why would you want people searching near the correct area?
Also, the pilot stated that they were flying for 6 hours before they LOST radio communication, then turned back toward FIJI and were flying for another 2 hours before they crashed.

++++++++++++++++++
This might be trivial, but it’s from lostpedia and is estimated using the info from the pilot and Cindy the flight attendant:
“In two hours, at 908 km/hour, Oceanic 815 would have travelled about 1810 kilometers. This is about 1,125 miles or 977 nautical miles, which is consistent with the pilot’s statement that the flight was “1000 miles off course.”
From the estimate turnaround position, a course/speed of 224/908 km toward NAN and a flight time of two hours would put the crash location of Oceanic 815 in the vicinity of 15.73102S 179.66479E, somewhere north of the Fiji island of Vanua Levu.”
It is a least consistent with the different character’s dialog of being somewhere near Fiji.
