Lost Season 6: News and Speculation

As suggested in the Lost:Rewatch thread. Please invisotext major spoilers!

Yahoo!

Quote:
Matthew Fox is using words such as "amazing," "incredibly satisfying," "very surprising" and "fairly confusing" to describe Lost's sixth and final season, which kicks off sometime in early 2010.

Emerging from the cone of silence lowered onto stars and producers after the Season 5 finale aired, Fox shared gave the crowd at the 49th Monte-Carlo Television Festival a glimpse at the final 17 episodes. (CineTVBuzz.com posted video of the event.)

The season will begin with the aftermath of Juliet seemingly detonating the Jughead bomb's explosive core, in a development Fox said will be "very surprising — and probably fairly confusing, initially, to the audience."

About a third of the way into the season, Fox said, the show's two separate timelines — in 1977 and 2007 — "are going to be solidified into one, and we will be operating in a more linear time, to the end of the series." Once the show moves to one timeline, he said, flashbacks will cease, and the series will resolve on the island.

Oh, and about that big finish: "I do know how the show's going to end, I know what the last images will be," said Fox, who only would hint at it all leading to "a final conflict."

Perhaps — or not — on a related note, he mentioned that Jack and Locke "will come head-to-head again." But since the Season 5 finale seemed to indicate the real Locke is very dead, it's unclear if Fox was foretelling a showdown with Locke or the person or entity posing as Locke.

With just 17 hours remaining, can Lost possibly tie together all of its narrative threads and loose ends — from Dharma and the Others to Jacob's seemingly epic feud with the entity known in scripts as "Man No. 2"?

Fox feels confident that the writers "will prove that they did know all along where they were heading with it," he said. "All the pieces will come back into play."

But he also acknowledged: "You're not going to please all the people all the time."
A third of the way through? What the?!

I guess this means they've got more story to tell about either the Dharma folks or the 70s-era Others. Does Fox have a habit of saying things like this that end up being complete bullshit?

So no future timeline, huh? Oh well.

I don't know about Fox in particular, but the Lost folks in general are often promising or implying stuff that just never happens.

I'm just curious how they are going to explain the Losties surviving a hydrogen bomb going off! It was one thing to think the bomb would send them flying to their own timeline, but to spend a third of the season still in the past? Consider me curious.

Who knows when the timelines will solidify though. Just from his choice of words this could turn out to be every conceivable time. But I have to second the curiosity about the first third of the season. But without further evidence every guess is as good as mine I reckon.

My guess (and it's wild speculation, take it for what it is) is that the Losties will all have to experience what Desmond did when he survived a hatch explosion. They'll b zipped around the timeline until they either die or find their constants. Finding their constants will send them back to the proper timeline.

Just speculation, really..

Yeah, just because the timelines aren't yet solidified doesn't necessarily mean that they stay in 1977. Either that, or we'll get to see the creation of the hatch and the computer.

Maybe they succeeded in changing the timeline so that Jughead never detonated? In other words, if Juliet's detonation of the bomb accomplished what Faraday had theorized, the Losties would never have been in a position to combine a nuclear explosion with Dharma's unleashing of the anomaly. Thus, they couldn't be nuked. Ouch, that makes my head hurt (and, yes, I realize that conflicts with the show's "whatever happened, happened" concept of time).

Desmond didn't get displaced from time via the hatch explosion. It was after he flew in a helicopter to the freighter without staying on the proper heading. Not to mention the mess it would be to follow half a dozen people each jumping through time within their own time lines.

True, its possible they get sent to another time. But the way the article mentions 1977 and 2007 specifically leads me to mean that those are the two timelines that will eventually be merged.

He sort of did. His consciousness was sent back in time to whatever year it was that he and Penny moved in together and that's when he met Ms. Hawking, etc.

Yeah, but Anjin was talking about finding constants, which means the time displacement Des was having on the freighter.

Just a guess:

Desmond had a jump through time when the hatch imploded, right? Why couldn't the same thing happen to everyone involved in the incident? He also had to have a constant: Penny. Faraday had Desmond. Jack, Sawyer, Hurley, Jin, Sayid, and Kate have Jacob. That's why he paid them all a visit in the past. I'm just throwing this out there, wondering what other people think. I know the constant stuff probably isn't attached to the original "imploding hatch thingy" because of Farday and the time span between but.. well anyway I have a hard time putting thoughts into words, I can think it but can't explain real well.

Desmond did not jump through time from the Swan hatch implosion. He had visions and saw Mrs. Hawkings, but this was not the same time displacement he experienced when he needed to find his constant.

That was a pretty vivid vision. Maybe I'm just hoping all the cast will end up running around nekkid! I thought for sure it was a time jump like when he met faraday and such. My bad if it wasn't, haven't gotten to that part of the rewatch yet.

They have spent so much time on this show worried about the Swan station. Do we really care about the Swan THAT much? Do we need to see the computer being made? Did we REALLY need to see the Incident in a big finale?

Well, it's not like we are talking about Jacks tats. But yeah I get what yer saying. For me it's always better when they don't force feed it. i just had a random thought and threw it out there. And they gotta to start the season with something. Just speculating. I am wondering about Jacob visiting these particular people though.

According to Michael Ausiello from Entertainment Weekly, Season 6 will run for 18 hours - 16 episodes with a two hour premiere and a two hour finale.

Not exactly the same, maybe, but I think it's going too far to write it off entirely as a vision given what we know now. Desmond definitely experiences time out of order due to the implosion, which gives a lot of credence to the idea that he was temporarily displaced, even if the circumstances weren't exactly the same as his experience on the freighter (i.e., no constant needed to bounce back, the appearance of Eloise to guide him, etc.).

Remember that Desmond also experienced time out of order when he encountered Faraday in the past - it was an experience that didn't manifest for him until 2007. And those circumstances were nothing like what happened on the helicopter and freighter.

Really? Ausiello had said that Pellegrino's role on SUPERNATURAL would only be a recurring one.

And also, another cast member who might possibly be returning to LOST.

Terry O'Quinn must be so delighted.

I'd love to see that rumored character return. But the quotes from the actor sound more like wishful thinking than a possibility.

So with all of these actors coming out of the woodwork to mention how they'd like to come back, how hard could it possibly be to get some resolution on that Libby storyline?

Well if MiB reincarnated himself as Locke. Jacob could reincarnate himself in Eko. Which would go back to the Producers saying that he was supposed to have a bigger part and be the direct competition to Locke.

Yes, let's overcomplicate a season that will already be jam-packed with the unnecessary return of a character whose arc was allocated to other characters after his death.

That NY Post (a first hint that this is bullshit) story is pretty clearly an "Oh Don Piano."

Agreed. Just all the talk about constants is driving me insane. The Desmond's freighter time displacement is not the same as his experiences after the hatch implosion.

Come on, doesn't a tiny part of you want this to happen just to add a new shade of punniness to the "Man In Black" moniker"?

I just read through it. You'd have to possess a very liberal concept of what constitutes spoilers to find it spoilery in any way. It's mostly speculation, with a few cryptic comments that most of you have probably already read.

That's some impressive marketing - but the included materials are sort of disappointing. A VHS cassette? Really?

Every word of the written content will be on the 'net within a day or two of the set's release, there'll be nothing earth-shattering in any of it (as relates to the main story) since Season 6 is still to come, the patches are all available on ABC.com if you want to buy them....

I'm surprised at myself. I was sure I was going to buy this. Now? I think I'll let another super-fan make that purchase.

There's been other Lost news recently, too. Last week, word got out that there will be 18 hours next season instead of the planned 17. The extra 60 minutes will be used to mount a two-hour season premiere.

SPOILERS (?!?) CONCERNING A CHARACTER'S RETURN...





A thought: I was thinking about the dream Charlie had in Season 2 that mimicked Verrochio's "Baptism of Christ". In it, Claire appears as an angel.

If Emily De Ravin is to return for Season 6, could this dream be foreshadowing? While the actress is returning, we don't know in what capacity. Is she Claire Classic? Is she Ghost Claire? Or is she something else entirely? My thought is that Claire did, in fact, die in the explosion. And just as Tropical Flagg assumed the dead Locke's form, Jacob may assume the dead Claire's form. The imagery of Claire as an Angel could foreshadow this transition into an ultimate force of good (presuming that Jacob is actually "good", which remains to be seen). Moreover, Jacob as Claire could potentially explain Claire's appearance and warning to Kate.

Neat theory Mattioli. I'll keep that one in mind. I refused to believe that Claire was dead in S4...up until I saw her in Jacob's cabin with Christian. After that, I was positive she was dead. Having her return as a Jacob-avatar would be pretty cool (although the actress would essentially be playing a whole new character).

My guess is Jacob did what the other guy did with Locke and he'll turn out to be Jacks dad.
With all the mucking around with the timeline its possible it could turn out he somehow become him before his actual death.

Twist! This would be great. I also suggested that Jacob has two modus operandi as himself an as avatars. It seems Jack suffered from both.
