Lost Season 5 Music Video





Here is the new Lost Season 5 music video, by The Fray, which contains some new footage not found in the Season 5 Trailer.

Hidden in the trailer is an ad for Aijia Airways, which looks to be the next Oceanic Air, or possibly the start of a new ARG.

While The Lost Community is generally a Spoiler-Free Zone, feel free to discuss this video, and the Season 5 Trailer in this post. For discussion on Aijia Airways, head over to LostARGs.com.

okay, tell me I'm not first again...where is everyone? All asleep I suppose. Ah well, I am really intrigued by the destruction of the beach camp and then seeing the losties standing and meandering around looking like "ok, where'd it go?" It would be really strange if things changed at the moment the O6 arrive back to the island and the beach camp is not there yet...or something like that. Don't know if that's clear or not.

Flaming arrows: interesting. DHARMAZMAT suit: interesting. The Fray: PLAYED OUT. Would much rather have heard the newest Coldplay single playing underneath this promo. Some of the juxtapositions of lyric and visual were a little TOO on the nose.

TakesaVillage said...

Thanks for clearing the promo issue up Dennis.
Kyle, speaking of nose;Did you notice the blood coming from Charlotte's? Is she becoming unstuck,or did she just get in another fight?Maybe since the Island moved,you don't have to leave it to start jumping.
Loco's,
I'm off to spend Thanksgiving with our Daughter and family.
I'll be around in an Ajira sort of way.

Tess315 said...

Good Morning All
First off I apologize for the length of this post. It's going to be really long. But I figured I get all of my thoughts out at once.
Here are some of my observations.
Desmond and Penny are still on her boat in this promo. Penny is wearing a wedding ring. Desmond seem distraught in one scene and he seems confused/scared when he wakes up. I'm wondering if he's time jumping again.
Hurley has something red on his shirt when he's at the railing with the gun and when he's racing down the street in the car/suv, which appears to be blood. However I unfortunately read a spoiler on this in the promo post at Dark's that discounts this as being blood. We'll see.
When Locke is falling from the roots of the banyon tree is this an old clip from his dream when he was with Eko or something new?
I'm wondering if Hurley and Sayid might be in a hospital chapel where Hurley is peeking out of the window and Sayid is on the floor.
Jack and Sayid appear to be fighting in a hospital room. One sceen shows Jack with an exam light in his hand. Another there's an oxygen mask around Sayid's neck.
Some at Dark's thinks they are fighting because Sayid was hurt and woke up and was confused about where her was. Others think maybe he was time jumping and came back and was confused. Me I think Sayid knows Jack wants to go back and Sayid doesn't want to go back.
I'm curious on whose attacking the Losties on the island some seem to be wearing military clothing. Are these the original hostiles that the DI were fighting? Someone other than Richard's group. Or could it be Danielle's science group? How about Reamy's group?
Just how far back did the island go? We've already seen the drug plane in the first promo. Now we see Locke picking up a Virgin Mary statue when there shouldn't be any left. I thought the drug plane was long after the fighting with the DI and the hostiles and of course Danielle's group.
Is that Sun who opens the door to Kate? I think so.
What happens to Locke when he's out in the jungle with his compass? And why is he using it? To find Jacob's cabin and does it work? The last compass he had he had given to Sayid. I also have a feeling he's been sitting out there in the jungle with what appears to be a bandaged leg over night, the scene with his bloody hand. I think that scene and the night scene where he sees someone with a torch is the same place. But I could be wrong. Maybe he lost the use of his legs again.
Well that felt good to get out lol. And again I apologize for the length. Oh one more thing someone at Darks noticed when Locke and Juliet are looking out across the valley, that's where New Otherton is being built. You can see a few houses just under Locke's arm. I'm nt sure if this is correct but it could be.

Tess315 said...

Oh dang
I thought I had all my thoughts out.
Who do you think is in the hatch pointing a gun a Daniel? Desmond, Kelvin, Radzinsky or someone else?

Tess315 said...

ellen
Are you thinking that things don't change until Jack and the O6 come back instead of when the island is moved? That would be interesting if I understand you correctly.

Takes A Village
That's a good question about Charlotte. Maybe that's why Daniel was so deparate to get her off the island. Something tells me Daniel's been through this before.

maven said...

Thanks Dennis for creating this post!

They way ABC put this promo together really pushes towards the fact that the O6 (including Desmond) have to find a way back to the island together...their Destiny Calls.

Sayid'sgirl: You've highlighted many of the major points of the promo, and bring up great questions about them.

1. The thing that did jump out at me about Desmond is that he does seem very confused and disoriented when he wakes up next to Penny...which would indicated his time-jumping problem. But he is with his constant, so he shouldn't be having this problem any more? But something is pulling him to leave Penny again as he feels the call of the island again.

There are two "scenes" with Sayid fighting. The first, quick one is an unknown...probably the person who was watching them at Santa Rosa. Somehow Jack shows up and tries to revive Sayid (being at Santa Rosa, there would be medical equipment...hence the oxygen mask and small, eye flashlight.) And Sayid probably does wake up disoriented, thinking Jack was his original assailant and starts choking him.

There's much to speculate about who or what group the people with guns and flaming arrows are attacking the Leftbehinders. There are many to chose from: None of them looked like the original 815 survivors (and where would they get all those weapons?), Danielle's group is a possibility or the Hostiles. Or a new group backed by Widmore. I just think it's really difficult to figure that one out now.

It would be really cool if Daniel meets up with Radzinsky in the Hazmat suit. It's also possible that it could be Kelvin. He also said that he had met Desmond on an island, didn't he? If they did go back in time it could be any of them.

I also agree with you, Sayid'sgirl, that Locke and Juliet are overlooking that valley and seeing either a group of people or the construction of New Otherton. It seems to be in the right place.

And I get the feeling that everything old is new again: Locke picking up the Virgin Mary statue, seeing the drug plane (in the other trailer), Juliet uncovering a hatch, Daniel at the Swan door, etc. It definitely seems like we've gone back to the origins of when the DI came to the island.

Capcom said...

Wow, thanks for starting the new post so we could go crazy about this, Dennis! This is really juicy.

If we get to see the Swan again, it would make me very happy. Didn't TPTB say after it blew that we hadn't really seen the last of the Swan yet? Boy, it must have cost TPTB a lot to blow it up and then rebuild it again. J/K :o)

Glad that you got all that out Sayidsgirl, heheh. I was dying to hear what you thought about it since you had so many ideas.

I know something about Dez and Pen from some major spoilers and shooting pix that I saw, but I won't say anything here. Except for that it's really good stuff.

Wow, it would be really weird to see Otherton being built, and the Remainders wondering where the camp is.

Have a safe trip Village!

Tess315 said...

maven
You wouldn't think time jumping would bother him since he's with Penny. But what if he's jumping back to a time before he met her? Then she couldn't be his constant anymore. She'd have to be in both times. Having said that I don't think that's what's happening.
You are right there are two fight scenes with Sayid. And your theory that he woke up dsoriented is possible. I just don't feel that's the case. I think he's fighting Jack because he doesn't want Jack trying to take him back to the island. Not to say Jack might have been trying to help him. I don't know but I think it's cool. I love watching Sayid fight. Is that weird? I liked it when Jin took on Patchy to so...anyway.
I would love for it to be Radzinskky in the hazmat suit. I'd like to know more about him.
What confuses me is the DI fighting with the hostiles would be a completely different timeline than when the drug plane crashed on the island. Wouldn't it?
capcom
I would love to see the Swan again too? I was obsessed with that place. I even drew what I think the inside looks like in paint.
The Losties camp being gone is going to be interesting for them. That may be part of why they are so easily attacked.
Oh and I forgot to mention Vincent being with the people who were attacking them. Did they use him to find the Losties?

Capcom said...

Hey, can/would you post your drawing somewhere Sayidsgirl?? Yay, fellow Swan-ite. :-D

I'm wondering if maybe Locke hurts his leg when he falls out of the tree. Maybe in the fall he stabs himself with one of his many knives that are in his cargo pockets, heheh. But seriously, it looks like a long fall from that tree.

Tess315 said...

capcom
It's a very simple drawing. And I'm not sure how accurate it is. Just my idea. But I'll see if I can get it posted. It's mostly made with squares and circles. It's kind of embarrassing.lol :)

Capcom said...

P.S. With Destiny in the promo and the talk of them coming (or going?) full cirlce with old being new, etc., don't forget that Locke told Jack that being on the island was their destiny. I wonder if Jack will be reminded of that in the new season.

Capcom said...

Neat! So we'll call it a preliminary sketch or something like that. :-D

Tess315 said...

capcom
I put it in a message at your myspace page. If I got it to workd right. That way only one person can laugh at it. :)

Tess315 said...

This isn't the hatch. It's of Hurley. I'm just trying to see if I can get a link to work. I was having trouble with it the other day. test

Tess315 said...

Hmm Now that wouldn't work Thurs. when I wanted to post the Ajira Airways logo in the promo. I must have done something wrong.

Tess315 said...

I have to go out and do some shopping be back in a few for more discussion.
capcom let me know if they link worked at your myspace. If not I'll grit my teeth and post it here.
Be Back Later.

Capcom said...

OK, I'll try to post that again, my reply got eaten by Blogger.

It worked and it looks neat! That's a good job with Paint. :-D

Tess315 said...

Thanks capcom
Glad it worked.

Tess315 said...

I seen this over at Darks. Don't know if it's real or if someone's just trying it to cash in on the name.

This is from poster Shannon at Darks.
I got an invite from Ajira Airways at Facebook, creator Dan Bronson. Under Recent News, it says, "Ajira Airways is looking for someone to moderate this group. You must be knowledgeable in the airline and understand what the flights destined for 2009 are all about. Please consider your answers carefully, taking time to research in full. When you are ready to apply, please send Dan Bronson a message to his inbox. Due to the anticipated volume of response, please only send one application. This will be private and confidential, and if successful you will be invited to an online interview for the position shortly." Just found that interesting, wanted you to know, if you didn't already!!!

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=49680092840

maven said...

I just posted that over at lostargs. "Dan" also says that the financier of Ajira is Ms. Paik and she will pick the moderator.

maven said...

BTW: I joined that Ajira Airways group...I'll keep ya posted.

Tess315 said...

oops I posted at the wrong blog. I was wondering why you hadn't put anything here yet.
You usually have all the Facebook stuff up right away.

Keeping these two threads of discussion separate is going to be difficult. We'll be going back and forth between here and lostargs! LOL

Capcom said...

How interesting! Hope it pans out.

Yes, since both the subjects stem from the same video, keeping track of these two different threads will be hard! X-D

Happy Birthday David and Mrs. Goog!

Another TLC Birthday!

Have a great one David and his sister, Mrs. Goog!

Tess315 said...

Happy Birthday! David and Mrs. Goog!

Ditto, Happy Birthday David and Mrs. Goog! *<|:o)

Dang it! There was a casting news spoiler on my Yahoo home page! I hate when that happens! So be careful out there, gang!

Black Swan said...

Sorry I've been away all day for the discussions! Anybody still here?

Wishing a big Happy Birthday to The World famous David A. Dein and Mrs. Goog!!

Zort70 said...

I've just got an email about the Dharma Special Access mentioned in the previous LostARG, I'm fairly sure this is no longer ARG related and is just pure publicity for the new series

Email can be read here

Tess315 said...

Thanks zort
Went and checked I have my email too. Watching the videos now.

Tess315 said...

I guess they're sticking with the economy crisis as a reason for the failure of the ARG. Maybe it's true.
I've already seen the part of the 2nd video.
And there was only one slightly ineresting thing said in the third.
But all in all cool were going to be getting these vids once a week.
I'm just afraid some of the spoiler sensitive won't watch them and it will limit our discussion. We may need a spoiler alert in the post.

Tess315 said...

BTW they must have set this up around 9:30 eastern last night. I was trying to get to Dancing with Stars through my bookmark and it was having trouble loading. I kept getting the words Dharma Initiative across the top of the page with the blue background and it wouldn't finish loading. I thought something must have been going on it happened 2 or 3 times before I got the right site.

TakesaVillage said...

Hey guys.Chillin in NW Florida.
David, and Mrs Goog,I hope you and yours, are are still celebrating your Birthdays.
It is good to know that at least ABC hasn't forgotten us.Weekly updates from Carlton and Damon should be cool.
Ta,

Wishing all my TLC family a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!

Yes indeed, I hope that everyone has a special and safe Thanksgiving day and weekend. :-)

Hope everyone who celebrates a safe and Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I was watching an episode of Bones last night (Sky 1 in the UK) and the airline Booth and Brennan were on was "Pan Oceanic" a nod to Lost ?

Happy Thanksgiving US LoCos!

Happy Thursday if you aren't giving thanks.

TakesaVillage said...

Checking in to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are participating.Everyone can be thankful that tomorrow is Friday.
As we were driving over the Suwanee River Bridge, (far,far away),it made me think of you Black Swan.

maven said...

Hope everyone is as full as I am!

maven said...

FYI: There's another version of the promo released and it's up at DarkUFO's (under spoilers). There a few new things in it: a baby being born, Sawyer banging on a door and saying "Open the damn door", the Frozen Donkey Wheel, Ethan(?) pulling a gun on Locke, and the 8:15 clock.

Some are speculating that the baby is Alex or Annie. And most people are pretty sure it's Ethan pulling the gun on Locke. If we are going back in time those things will fit in,

Tess315 said...

Cool Maven
Thanks. I'm going to check it out.

Tess315 said...

I've got to learn to watch the video and NOT read the comments. I keep reading things I don't want to know. Although I'm not sure that some of the spoilers won't end up being something not used or false. I hope. :)

maven said...

I know what you mean, Sayid'sgirl! Someone casually says something in comments that we've all been trying to avoid!

Beverly said...

I never read the comments on DarkUFO - just the main post - for just that reason.

Unknown said...

Somebody won a copy of Season 4 in the daily trivia contest on his hokey morning local "news" program...

Okay, it was me. Question: How many days were covered in the first season of LOST? Honestly, I knew it was more than 40 and fewer than 48, but couldn't remember for sure if it was 42 or 44. So I looked it up while I was redialing, and bingo bango. 44.

I think I even get to pick it up right away, even though it doesn't street until 12/9. Sweet!

Tess315 said...

Good job Kyle! Congratulatiions!
I'll have to wait til Christmas for mine. boo hoo. It's one of the things my husband knows for sure I want. lol So I'll wait, and read spoiler posts on the DVD.

Melissa_Lossa said...

Kyle, I'm so jealous!

I'm waiting until Christmas, too - although I'm excited to get it on Blu-ray this year! Hooray for Mr. Mel's new PS3! :)

Melissa_Lossa said...

Hey, book clubbers - our next book is supposed to be Survivors of the Chancellor. However, I have not been able to find it at any library or bookstore, and was told that it is out of print.

I did find it online, but I wanted to see how everyone felt about having to read it that way. Any opinions?

Tess315 said...

Hey Melissa
I'm not "truly" a book clubber because I never join in on the discussion. But i always listen in to the podcast.
Anyway I've already read Suvivors of the Chancellor. I actually found it a very good read. Eaiser than some of Jules Verne's other works.

Capcom said...

Lost2010 just read it too so she's ready! Her recaps on her blog were interesting.

Amazon.com has some copies, new and used.

Capcom said...

P.S. Congrats Kyle! :-D

Unknown said...

I don't know how much of the packaging has been revealed online, but the sleeve-to-box transition is pretty cool, and the "liner notes" come on a very funny faux-Oceanic (Fauxceanic?) info pamphlet. TWO discs of extras is a lot to dig through!

Capcom said...

Fauxceanic, heheh. X-D

RE; the promos: am I the only one who thinks that it's really awful that Aaron has been (seemingly) led to believe that Kate is his real mother? I wonder if he'll find out about Claire if/when they get to the island. And, if they'll show how he'll handle it. And, how he'd handle it if Claire is still alive. :-\

Unknown said...

New Darlton email is here.

Black Swan said...

got the new DSA (although the last video has the most as far as new).. gotta agree with you Capcom, letting Aaron and his Grandmother think he's Kates! So who's the lawyers working for (as shown in the third video of DSA)?

congrats, kyle!

Black Swan said...

and what do you think about the pic of Jack and Aaron?

maven said...

I just watched our special videos! Already I can see how things get distored! In the previous promos we all thought that Kate was packing and taking Aaron because they had to get back to the island. But now it seems there is more to that than meets the eye! Who is this mysterious client and one would think her house would be watched to see if she leaves. I also noticed the Jack/Aaron picture right away. I guess they were playing house/family for a while.

Congrats to Kyle!

Tess315 said...

Real life kicked in just as I started to watch the videos. I don't mind promos or previews.
But I gotta say. I don't much care for sneek peeks cause they show to much. They did this at ABC.com in the third season. But they were posting a sneek peek of that nights show. I seen the whole scene where Kate and Sawyer were breaking rocks and he gets tasered. I'd rather watch it during the show. This is some what different. We don't know what episode it's from, but as soon as we see this part we'll know what's going to happen. And that takes away from the show for me.
But since we've all already watched this one I'll comment.
I think the lawyers could be from Ben it could be a way of forcing her to go back to the island, since this puts her on the run again.

maven said...

Here is the latest S5 Promo picture of the cast. It's up at Dark's and Doc's.

It's pretty strange/interesting. Are those old Dharma computers and TVs strewn around their feet?

Tess315 said...

Thanks for the pic maven.
That is interesting. Yeah it looks like computers. I'm not sure what that is beside Miles. It looks familiar though. Of course I'm old enough to remeber when TVs looked like that. lol

Melissa_Lossa said...

Interesting photo. The thing next to Miles looks a little like one of the monitors from the Pearl.

And we'll stick with Chancellor for the Book Club. I'll try to get a podcast coordinated for next week. As soon as it's set, I'll post an announcement.

Unknown said...

Melissa
I was thinking it was from the Pearl too. But I wasn't sure. Since you think that's what it is too, I'm thinking that's probably what it is.

Tess315 said...

Dang it!
I was signed into my other email account and it posted with my real name.

Tess315 said...

Hey I thought we were supposed to get these videos 48 hours before they were posted anywhere else. ABC already has the Kate sneek peek posted. Not that I care. Just found it funny.

Melissa_Lossa said...

It's up on TV Guide and EW as well. So much for our special access! :)

Scoutpost said...

Are there any bigger versions of the picture yet? It's driving me crazy not to be able to dissect the details! (Guess I'm really jonesing for LOST by this point.) Come on Jan 21st!

Tess315 said...

scoutpost
If you haven't already got to the front page of DarkUFO he now has a bigger picture up.

Melissa_Lossa said...

Okay, there's a bottle of Dharma cola on the ground near Ben, and some pop or beer cans by Daniel.

There's also a box of Dharma saltines by Sayid, and some sort of canned good under Miles.

What does it all mean?! :)

Also, does anyone think that Sun's pose is really odd?

maven said...

I think all the Dharma stuff laying around points to where the left behinders end up when the island moves.

TakesaVillage said...

Melissa_,
I read it onlne,and enjoyed it that way.Special access? You should know that Dharma thinks we're not that special anyway.

Capcom said...

DSA stands for 'Dharma's Special Asses', i.e. us, for playing Hans' stoopid games. :-p Sorry, I get snarcastic late at night.

maven said...

Good one, Capcom!

maven said...

According to DarkUFO:

ABC is going to air "There's No Place Like Home" January 14th (8 - 11 pm) a week before the premiere of S5.

Tess315 said...

Wow. ABC is really going to give Lost 3 hours two weeks in a row? Makes them seem a bit desparate for ratings. Or their other programing is just that bad. Wonder what they'll do when Lost is over?

lost2010 said...

I had to look up what ABC is currently playing on Wednesdays. Apparently it's Pushing Daisies, Private Practice, and Dirty Sexy Money.

Obviously, I don't watch any of them or I'd have known that.

Tess315 said...

lost2010
lol I know what you mean. I was talking to my sister earlier and I said the same thing to her. I didn't know what aired on Wednesdays either.

Capcom said...

Will most of the other shows be on hiatus or re-runs at that time of year for Lost to get that much time? I have no idea either Lost2010.

maven said...

Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money have been canceled! I enjoyed them.

lost2010 said...

You'd kind of think those two shows would really play pretty well as bookends for Lost. I'm surprised they didn't leave them on and let Lost boost their audience.

Is Private Practice gone too? Not that it's any great loss or anything.

Tess315 said...

I read they were moving Private Practice to Thursdays after Grey's Anatomy.

lost2010 said...

So what IS going to be on with Lost? Surely it isn't going to take up 3 hours every single week.

Tess315 said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Tess315 said...

ABC aquired Scrubs form NBC. They were going to cancel it. It will be on before Lost. And Life on Mars will come back after the premiere week and be on after Lost.
At least that's what I read.

Capcom said...

Hi All!

Not that I'm a Jack-hater or anything but on the Yahoo Lost forum someone posted this which I thought was pretty amusing:


"...every season has its good and bad points.

Season 1: good - mysterious island, awesome flashbacks; bad - Sayid torturing Sawyer, irrational Jack.

Season 2: the hatch, the button, the Tailies, smokey, Henry Gale; bad - Michael killing Ana Lucia, Sayid torturing Ben, irrational Jack.

Season 3: the opening sequence, the Others' way of life, Mikhail, Ben, the Looking Glass; bad - Nikki and Paulo's ending, the Others turning into goons with guns, irrational Jack.

Season 4: the Freighter science team, time travel, the Constant, Penny's boat; bad - Keamy's goons with guns, the bomb, irrational Jack."


Hey Dad, nice to see you. Thanks for the link.

Capcom said...

Oops, I meant "Ded", Dad. :-B

lost2010 said...

psst. Capcom - I thought we LIKED Keamy's guns.

Capcom said...

LOL Lost2010, Keamy's big guns were the good part! I didn't agree with all the points listed, heheh.

Unknown said...

If you like Keamy's guns (taken literally), then there's a segment on the first S4 bonus disc that you'll really enjoy.

TakesaVillage said...

Capcom;
If Keamy's guns were the only kind of guns,the world would be a safer place.
I'm looking forward to finally getting the DVD on Tues.
My Grandsons dog is a Gator fan,whether he likes it or not.

Scoutpost said...

Poor dog. Guess he's happy though...I was raised to be an Alabama fan, so I'm licking my wounds right now. :( Perhaps I should go look up Keamy's guns, then maybe I would feel better! ;p

TAV- I know I can't wait until Tuesday either. Christmas a little early.

lost2010 said...

Oh well, at least Alabama won the Iron Bowl for the first time in 6 years. I can live on that for at least another year - would have been nice to beat the Gators but I'll settle for the Iron Bowl.

maven said...

New DSA email out:

There's a video of Darlton talking about the ABC Lost Book Club. They highlight a book that Ben is going to be reading in a S5 episode..."Ulysses" by James Joyce. They read a quote from the book which mentions "hurley", but, more significant it talks about "building up a nation".

There's also a quick flash of a new(?) Dharma logo...looks like a lighthouse to me.

maven said...

There's a screen cap of the new logo at Dark's under spoilers.

Zort70 said...

Yes it definitely looks like a lighthouse to me.

Melissa_Lossa said...

Hmmm..... the Lighthouse station? Interesting....

So, who wants to read Ulysses next? It's what, 500 pages? How about The Stand? ;)

I'm about halfway through Survivors of the Chancellor. It's interesting. As soon as I can wring an answer out of David, we'll set up the next podcast.

Melissa_Lossa said...

I think the song from the new video is the song that played when Hurley was rushing to catch flight 815 in the season 1 finale.

lost2010 said...

This is embarrassing but I read 'The Survivors of the Chancellor' all except the last few chapters and when I was cleaning up for Thanksgiving dinner I mislaid it. I can't find it anywhere. They were floating around out in the ocean on a raft when I left them and I have no idea where to look anymore.

The Lighthouse. . .conjures up images of a homing beacon or something. . .of a lighthouse keeper. . .of hmmm, refracting the light so that it doesn't scatter just right. . .so that the island is hidden. . .

And I was doing so well with the 'not speculating' thing. . .

Melissa_Lossa said...

lost2010 - I couldn't find a copy of the book anywhere, so I've been reading it online. You can finish it off here.

lost2010 said...

Thanks Melissa Lossa! I had ordered it, Invention of Morel and Evil Under the Sun back this summer from Amazon - my library didn't have any of them. I've really enjoyed SoftheC - - it's a fairly easy read too. I'm glad I won't have to miss the ending!

memphish said...

Morning LoCos. I've been avoiding this thread because I'm trying to be very spoiler averse, but I got my S4 DVDs today and wanted to comment.

Remember way back to Ep. 4.1 when Hurley tells Jack he's sorry he went with Locke instead of Jack? That's always been one of those niggling items. I think the reason he may have been sorry was not that he let down Jack (which is the implication at the time given how little we knew), but instead if Hurley had gone with Jack, he would have been at the beach and never would have gotten on the helicopter and thus never would have left the Island. (Okay he could have gone to the freighter and blown up, but lets assume he wouldn't have.) Sorry if we've covered this before, but I can't remember.

lost2010 said...

memphish - I like that idea. I'm on Episode 4.3 at the moment. I find myself wondering why it took Sawyer and Hurley so long to attempt a mutiny - they seem highly dissatisfied with Locke's leadership from the very beginning.

memphish said...

So watching the commentary for The Beginning of the End Jorge made a really interesting point. He equated Hurley's counting to 5 to make Jacob's cabin and Charlie disappear with Kate and Jack's counting to 5 to deal with fear. Nice catch Jorge.

Did anyone ever hear any explanation for the changing photos on the wall up the stairs when Miles goes ghostbusting in Inglewood?

Capcom said...

I could be wrong in my memory Memphish, but I think that what TPTB said about those pics was their usual, "Aha, good question, maybe it means something and maybe it doesn't." Or something like that. If there was any further specification of the meaning, I missed it.

Tess315 said...

That's a good question about the pictures memphish. I've wondered about that too.
Maybe when Miles is ghostbusting he time travels like Desmond and the pictures would be different in a different time. I don't know just a guess.
I think capcom is right TPTB never really answered that question.

Happy Birthday Dennis!

Black Swan said...

Happy Birthday, Dennis!!

Hope you get the Season 4 DVD's for a birthday present! 41 more days 'till LOST!!

memphish said...

Well LOST got no Golden Globe love, so Golden Globes get no love from me.

Black Swan said...

I noticed that, too, memphish! The other snub was Clint Eastwood (who I love!)

maven said...

That unbelievably SUCKS!

jess4ua said...

Hey Everyone! Been really busy, but lurking lately. Starting to get excited about S5 and wanted to drop in.
Happy Bday Dennis! (It's my son's bday today too :D)

Capcom said...

Happy B-day Dennis! and ditto to the thanks for all you do to keep our Lost Community together. *<|:o)

And no happy anything to the Golden Globes. Does anyone know who the voters or academy members for that awaard are? Is it the public or peers?

memphish said...

It's the Hollywood Foreign Press who votes for and nominates for the Golden Globes. I say we call Homeland Security and see if we can get them all deported and onto say an Oceanic Airlines flight (or maybe Ajira.)

memphish said...

Hey, here's some better news.

hi everyone!

I know it's been a while, but you locos are never far from my thoughts...I just couldn't get into the arg this time around. I hope I didn't miss too much!

wow I think I might try to attend the Lost exhibit at the Paley Center in January. After all, it's in my neighborhood.

A belated happy birthday to our dear Dennis...hope you had a great day. (and same to Jess' son too)

See you all when the season nears more. Merry Christmas (Chanukkah, and Kwanzaa too) to all us locos!

Tess315 said...

amused2bhere
Believe me you didn't miss a thing. lol Such a shame.
Have you been looking at the Dharma Special Access videos?
We've been discussing them at the ARG blog.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
See you in 5 weeks!!

Capcom said...

Ditto what Sayidsgirl said! :-D

maven said...

Ditto what Capcom said! :)

lost2010 said...

How many of us had a Lost Fantasy Team? I got a bee in my bonnet to go look up my Lost fantasy team and realized they have them sorted by the website you put as your "home site". There are several from here.

Unknown said...

I'm Team NO WORMHOLES

Tess315 said...

lost2010
I have one. Bet you can guess which one. Sayid's Army. ;) According to Dark's list there are 29 of us with a team.

Capcom said...

LOL Kyle! Even though I want the opposite, heheh.

Are we going to open up a spoilery post like we did for the other sneak peak? Or did we open talk for the sneak peak, maybe it was just the promo. Anyway, I have a question that can be asked generically, and if it's OK to talk about it, then we can go for it. Or if not, it can be answered generically too, by someone who's seen it. If you don't want to even see something generic, I'll skip a few spaces before I ask my question.








My Q: Regarding what Ben said at the end of the sneak peak, why the heck would he say that?! Won't they find out the answer to that when they go back to the island and ask a few questions? I don't get it. Tx.

lost2010 said...

I'm "Weagle Weagle War Eagle". . .

Capcom: I didn't watch the clip, but Ben seems to say anything he says to produce a desired effect on whoever he's talking to. So I'm guessing he said it more for the effect on whoever he's speaking to than because it's logical or truthful or anything else. . .. .

Capcom said...

That's the only thing that I can figure it is too, Lost2010. Taken the way you say it, what Ben said would really nag Jack (the man who has no faith in anything but his own curiosity and opinions) to go find out the answer. Hey tx! :-D

TakesaVillage said...

I am theVillage8.
I sure hope TLC can do really well this season.
Ben is usually a couple of steps ahead of the person he is talking to.(except when he had that show-down with Keamy.)Whether he tells the truth or not, doesn't seem to matter,because he uses words like chess pieces.

maven said...

FYI: There's a new promo out. It's posted at Dark's under spoilers. It is unbelievable. All I can say is they definitely know how to build anticipation for S5! There is so much going on in that promo...including reversed audio!

memphish said...

I have a hard time figuring out where to post these days. Guess I'll pull a double like Maven. :-)

First, so glad to see people starting to check in as the season approaches. Hi everyone old and new!

Second, I'm very, very scared to watch ABC now. I remember last year having to avert my eyes every time a LOST promo came on during football which is pretty much the only thing I watch on ABC. Maybe Auburn's abysmal season is a blessing in disguise. Weagle, Weagle indeed Lost2010.

Finally, a Very Blessed Holiday Season to everyone!

lost2010 said...

The promos are tempting but Memphish has assured me that I ruined last season for myself with spoilers. ;) So, I'm going to do it her way this time. . . I've made it this long. . .why stop now? :)

I am expecting to be astonished and amazed at every turn. LOL

memphish said...

You can do it Lost2010! If you need encouragement, you could check out this. (Not LOST related.)

maven said...

I've been watching the promos...if you watch ABC at all you cannot miss them...they run them constantly!

I don't really see them as spoilers...they can interpreted so many different ways...you are only given such a small snippet. I just don't think that Darlton is going to allow ABC to give away something major in the promo. And they are put together so that you just get a small inkling of things, not enough to really tell you anything of substance.

I think they are doing an excellent job of whetting everyone's appetite for Season 5....not just us obsessed fans, but the casual fans, too!

Hope everyone's Holidays are coming along splendidly. Wishing all a Happy Hanukkah (which starts Sunday)!

Capcom said...

Hi all. Yes, it's getting very dangerous out there. As for TPTB not giving too much away, I myself was very disappointed that they gave away the freckage in the game before the season started. I would really rather have learned that on the show. I was very surprised that they gave away something that huge ahead of time. So I don't trust those pesky PTBs, even though they used a game for a give-away last time, and not a promo. :-(

Melissa_Lossa said...

I ruined the season 2 and season 3 premieres for myself, and I enjoyed the season 4 premiere so much more being spoiler-free!

That being said, I can't help but watch the promos. I'm just trying to stay away from the on-set reports and major spoilers.

Mr. Mel and I just got a new HD TV and a blue ray player - can't wait to get season 4 on DVD for Christmas (hopefully!) and then check out season 5 in HD. :)

Tess315 said...

I agree with maven about the promos. I don't see them as spoilers either. They throw a bunch of quick clips together and you don't know if they're from one episode or three. They show one person talking and then another one and it looks like they're talking to each other but it turns out they're not.
So far I've only been spoiled once and that's when I watched the first clip. I wish I hadn't but what's done is done. I also have accidently read somethings in Darks spoiler section that I'm trying to forget.
These promos have got me so excited about the new season!!

lost2010 said...

I don't watch anything else on ABC, so other than having to be careful what I read online, it's not been that hard to avoid.

I did see the very beginning of one promo. . .

What do you suppose that animal is that crawled onto Jack's face and died? It's truly hideous isn't it? ;)

Capcom said...

LOL

maven said...

Happy Hanukkah to those of us who celebrate the Festival of Lights!

Capcom said...

Yes, Happy Hanukkah!!!!!

Sure wish that we could taste some of your delicious looking latkes Maven! :-D

TakesaVillage said...

Happy Hanukkah.
Light em up!
The best of Traditional Holidays to all of you Loco's.

Tess315 said...

Happy Hanukkah maven and to all those who celebrate.

lost2010 said...

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!

Amused2bHere said...

happy Hanukkah everyone!!

"light em up!" tee hee

maven said...

A little holiday gift from Darlton: The new DSA video is up. Nothing really new in it, but they are the funniest comic team ever! LOL There are two potential spoilers as they quickly intro a screen shot of new characters. Everything is up at Dark's under spoilers.

Tess315 said...

Wishing all the LoCos a very Merry Christmas!
Be safe and stay warm.

memphish said...

Oh my stars, the DVD extra called The Oceanic Six:Conspiracy of Lies is exactly what I've been wanting since we played Find815. Finally someone besides me is going why is the wreckage so far off course. Everyone needs to be sure and watch it.

maven said...

I just watched that last night, Memphish! It asks all the burning questions we've all been wondering about. It draws attention to all the gaping holes in their "story".

Another good bonus on the DVDs is the Flash Forwards being put in chronological order. Although I'm sure there are some more parts coming, it gives you a flow to the story off-island.

memphish said...

I was a bit skeptical about the flash forwards, but I enjoyed it. It did line up a couple of things for me. Of course I can't think of any of them now. :-)

Capcom said...

Yes, that conspiracy film is awesome. I saw it posted on Youtube after the Blueray, or wahtever, DVD first came out. I hope that that's a hint of things to come. Considering that, if people begin to doubt the O-6 story, they'd not have much choice but to go back to the island and hide. :o)

Capcom said...

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a special one in spite of the hard times right now. :-x

Passafist said...

Sorry it's been a while! But be looking for TWO podcasts to be released on Friday! Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukkah?

TakesaVillage said...

Merry Christmas to TLC.
Passafist,looking forward to those podcasts,thanks.

David A Dein said...

It is ready!!!!

Also stay tuned for an awesome interview with Marc Oromaner about his brand new book "The Myth of Lost" and hear an interesting take of the episode Cabin Fever from someone completely distanced from the hit ABC Television Show "Lost."

Show Notes:

The Paul Goebel Show - This podcast is not for the Kids!

The Myth of Lost by Marc Oromaner

If you'd like to be a guest on the podcast, have any theories, discover any clues, or just want to say "Hi!", contact TLCpodcast@gmail.com (mp3 comments are accepted as well), or leave a voice mail or fax at (206) 202-3512.

Episode 50

maven said...

David and Steve: It's so great to hear your voices again!

I think I'm going to side with Steve that Ajira just might be the magic plane that gets them back to the island and it is not an sort of ARG. It just seems like a promotional site by ABC since it actually mentions the start date of Season 5.

The interview with Marc was great. There is so much more to this show as we all are acutely aware of. There are so many layers to this show and one gets to much more the more you get into the mythology.

Tess315 said...

Great podcast David and Steve.
I'm with maven and Steve I think Ajira Airways is how they will get back to the island. At first I thought it was part of an ARG but not anymore.

TakesaVillage said...

Happy Kwanzaa Mr. Eko,and everyone else who is celebrating.Thanks Steve & David;off to listen.

maven said...

FYI: There's a new promo up at DarkUFO (under spoilers). A lot of interesting new stuff: Desmond/Penny with newborn baby, Sun pulling a gun on Kate, Locke and Juliet. The theme of this one is Love...how far will you go?

Anonymous said...

Hey all! Feels good to be back! Only 23 days until Season 5! Just finished Season 4 DVDs with my brother! Wow, you miss a lot the first time through, huh? Man...it's good to have the Lost Community Podcast back, too! Man...I'm looking forward to seeing Season 5, and I look forward to catching it with you guys!

maven said...

Hey, The Roog, glad to see you checking in at TLC! I just finished watching S4 DVDs, too!

Hopefully, after the New Year, more and more old-timers and new-timers will be checking in as the excitement builds. These new promos are certainly creating a lot of anticipation!

Tess315 said...

Thanks maven
Going to watch yet another promo yipee!
Hey the roog good to see you.

TakesaVillage said...

Amused2bHere,
Happy Birthday.Have a Happy New Year also.

David A Dein said...

Hmmm... does anyone know why the podcast isn't up on the site?? I don't have access to post so I haven't. But The On The Road Show should be ready soon.

WORD UP!

Black Swan said...

Ah, here you are! I still get confused where to go... lol!

Happy Birthday to you, Amused2bHere (wherever you are)!!! (btw, it's me, codysmom-got a new name:)

I loved the new promo and I don't think I could get more excited about Season 5!!! 23 days and counting!!

Hey, Roog... that sure is true about catching more the second time around!

I really enjoyed the podcast, guys! I want to go buy that book...

Hopefully more and more people will be checking in here the closer we get to Jan. 21st.

In case I forget .... I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

memphish said...

Happy Birthday Amused2BeHere!

I finally finished The Survivors of the Chancellor last night. It was a pretty tedious read, but the last 30 pages kept me going. Not much in the way of LOST links IMHO.

I'm still trying to avoid promos, but football on Thursday may do me in.

Tess315 said...

Happy Birthday amused2bhere!!

maven said...

Happy Birthday to Amused2bHere! Have a great day wherever you are!

And guess who's next: Tomorrow is Memphish's Birthday! Happy Birthday, Memphish!

Happy Holidays, Happy Birthday, NEW POST!!
