Lost: Season 5

[Null]

Yea, I'm gonna just stop looking at anything Lost. These "Small" spoilers haven't been small at all.

[Insanecyclone]

Oh well I guess I'll avoid posting anything then unless it's one of those "OMG I HAVE TO POST THIS NOW!"

Well, I love reading spoiler. I was just saying this in case someone else wasnt sure if they should click or not.

Don't do that, I enjoy them as I honestly check here more than darkufo. As long as you spoiler it people can choose whether to read it or not.

Yeah but their stupid and will click it out of curiosity

It all depends on what said about the Spoiler. If somebody says its small and its information about Locke choking Jack to death it can be quite annoying.

I know it isn't really a great source of news, and I am too lazy to find a link, but on Attack of the Show today, they said this next season of Lost was going to be interrupted by the Winter Olympics. I assume it will just be a few week break after a few episodes, but still somewhat annoying when Lost usually has big cliffhangers. =(

Snippets from Damon | Lost Season 6

Need tags or no? I'll add them later if they need it

Me: At what point are you in creating the final episodes?
Lindelof: We're actually writing the eighth episode right now and breaking the story for the ninth episode. We're filming the sixth episode. The blueprint for the entire season is done, but we only write the episodes one at a time, because the actual genesis of the scene-by-scene work is the fun part. So we're almost exactly halfway through.

There's been so much analysis of the this year's promotional poster. Do you have a big part in creating that?

Yeah. Everything in the design of that poster is intentional. We oversaw it -- now we know the audience looks at that stuff so closely, so we don't want there to be anything that we don't approve, especially at this point in the game.

Why is neither Walt nor Vincent in the Season 6 promo picture? -- Holly

Well, I'm not going to explain why anything is what it is, other than that everything is by design. You'll just have to watch the final season and decide for yourself. It's a little bit like, "Why is Paul McCartney holding a cigarette with his right hand when he's a lefty on the Abbey Road cover?"

Is the ending you envisioned when you first created the show still in place? -- adanzis

That's a great question. Yes, the actual ending ending is exactly the same as we'd always planned on it being, except we didn't know if we were going to get there after two seasons, four seasons or after six seasons, so the road to the ending has had to change significantly. But the ending itself? Whether people like it or not, that's the ending we've had.

Will Walt will have any major role in the upcoming season? He was important for a while because of his "gift," but that story has never been realized. -- mrhymes01

I think a lot of people are justifiably frustrated about the Walt of it all. We said he has this special ability, and the Others obviously grabbed him and studied him for awhile, then they got freaked out by him and decided to let him go.

I think that there are certain stories on the show that feel like dangling participles based on external factors. For us, we were incredibly limited by the fact that Malcolm David Kelley was growing at an exponentially faster rate than the show was progressing. So, you know, when we showed him in Season 5 and Locke is trying to recruit members of the Oceanic Six, the only way that it worked was to see him three years older. But hopefully, why Walt was special and the role he played on the show will have a new significance when all is said and done. And I'm not sure we really need the character of Walt to explain the significance.

Will we ever get more on the backstory on Libby ... or at least find out her last name? -- P-D Cougar

Libby is someone we get asked about a lot, and she's another one of those cases where it's more of an issue of our relationship with the actor than it is our desire to tell the story. It's our hope that Cynthia Watros will come back one more time and finish that story, but that's up to her. We asked her last year, she wasn't interested in doing it. Hopefully she'll change her mind.

One actor definitely won't be returning for the final season, right? Can you tell me more about that?

We did ask an actor who's played a significant role on the show to come back and do some work on Season 6, and they said no. But I'm not going to confirm who that is. All I'll say is that person was never a series regular.

Damon, I have a question about my second-favorite character on the show, Frank Lapidus. Ever since he appeared on the Season 6 promotional poster, there has been a lot of speculation on message boards. So, anyway, my question is: Will Frank be promoted to main character status next season, and if so, will he be getting a -centric episode? Because that would be basically the most awesome thing ever. -- Bish-Fiscuit

Yeah. Lapidus is definitely a series regular this season. Jeff Fahey was just a recurring character up through last year. Now, whether or not Lapidus makes it until the end of the season is anyone's guess, but he's definitely one of the A-team this year.

How many people do make it to the end of the season?

You really think I'm going to answer that question? Not all of them, that's for sure.

I hope it's not Claire... =(

EDIT~ Isn't she in the promo poster for this season? Maybe it's Widmore bah speculaiton... x_x

Wasn't a main cast member. So I'm guessing Widmore because the guy HATES the show and refuses to watch it or Mr. Eko as he's been flip flopping quite a bit.

It could be Daniel's mom.

This is possibly old news, I don't read spoilers too often... but this Season 6 spoiler bummed me out. Read at your own risk!

Spoiler: show

On the decision to off Juliet:

Cuse: As the story is now nearing its conclusion, some characters just aren’t going make it all the way to the end. Even beloved characters aren’t going make it all the way to the end. And sometimes we have to do things that are really painful, like killing Juliet, because that’s what makes the story feel like the stakes are genuine, and people feel invested that characters who are beloved can actually perish on our show. It was an enormously powerful story that concluded the entire season of the show. So she was sacrificed in service of the story, and I think was hugely responsible for the season being viewed as successful because that was how it ended.… But she will always loom as one of our favorite characters, and even more importantly, favorite people that we’ve ever worked with on this show.

Lindelof: What always gives us pause — especially in this instance — is we just love working with Elizabeth. And she always brings it, she always gives more than we expected, and transcends the material. She has always been so gracious and sweet and lovely…. That conversation (in which he and Cuse delivered the bad news) went the same way that the entire relationship did, which is Elizabeth was completely understanding, sweet and wonderful. And she was bummed, as were we.

Given the season 5 ending, it's not a huge shock, I suppose... but it's still a bummer getting confirmation!

Kinda expected it, and I can't say I care much, but if she is gone for good, it means Faraday is also gone since he died before her. Now that's shitty, because his death was reaaaaly lame, unlike Juliet.
