* The final season of Lost will be running for 18 episodes, as opposed to the originally planned 17. * We will get the answers to the mysteries of The Smoke Monster, and also to the Tawaret statue. Further mysteries, we're promised, are also set to be resolved. This is good. * We're also promised the end of the flashbacks. Apparently, once the season gets to around a third of the way in, its timelines will come together, and then the focus will be on ongoing narrative, rather than jumping backwards and forwards. That's something of a culture change for Lost right there, and it does mean that the back end of the season will be an ongoing drive to the finish line. * Episode titles thus far that we know are L.A.X. for episodes one and two, What Kate Does for the third and The Substitute for the fourth. Then there's Lighthouse, Sundown, Dr Linus (looking forward to this one already!), and Rundown. That takes us up to episode eight so far. * Among the brand new characters is Lennon, who is billed as the spokesperson and translator for a big foreign company. Could he be something to do with Charles Widmore, we wonder? Whatever, he's being played by John Hawkes of Deadwood fame. We need to write lots about Deadwood on this site soon. * Elizabeth Mitchell will be returning as Juliet. She'll only be in a couple of episodes, not least because Mitchell is now committed to ABC's V. * Maggie Grace is also reported to be potentially returning as Shannon, although there's speculation either way on this. * Emilie de Ravin is back for season six as Claire - the fate of her character, and where she's been for season five, is one of the things we're very keen to see resolved. It'll apparently be a different kind of Claire that we see too, with Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello calling it a "a Rousseau-esque version". She'll be back full time, too. * Ausiello also confirms that Rousseau herself won't be returning, as actress Mira Furlan turned down the chance to return due to scheduling difficulties. * Cynthia Watros has reportedly turned down the chance to return, to wrap up the story of Libby. Rebecca Mader as Charlotte has, however, taken up the offer, and will be back at some point in season six. * Don't rule out a return appearance of Dominic Monaghan, and Jeremy Davies as Daniel Faraday is also set to turn up again. * William Atherton has signed up to appear in season 6. We still love Atherton from the first two Die Hard movies, and in Lost, he's set to play a character called Principal Reynolds. * Regular 24 director Jon Cassar is reported to be directing an episode of the show, as is Mario Van Peebles. * Sawyer will be heading a bit more back to basics in the aftermath of Juliet's death, which he's apparently taken very badly indeed.

Jacob would have to have been able to go "Any-when", not just anywhere. He visited Kate as a little girl, Sawyer after his parents were dead, Jack in the hospital (Christian was still alive then) Locke in the hospital, interacted with Charlie, Hurley, Sayid...

I think Ben has discovered he's just been a tool all these years, I don't think he has had any real power at all.

Unless of course Jacob found he could travel off on the submarine, and that's the real reason they had that Smokie Proof Fence surrounding the Dharma encampment. Hmmm... Made myself think... :-)

[spiderpig]

What if Jacob is the "bad" guy and MIB is the good guy? Ben has been following Jacob all this time which means he killed all the Dharma people, he killed Ben, he killed Nadia to get Sayid to be an assasin for him and lures all these people to the island to experiment on them and/or otherwise torture them all following Jacob's wishes. All the MIB wants to do is get off the freaking island. Who (besides Rose and Locke) doesn't?

[Sock Puppet]

Hmmm... Well... Think about it like this...

How much destruction and death could MIB dole out if he were able to get off the island and into the general population?

(broken record time... Like Spock said to Kirk)

The needs of the many far outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

I guess we're discussin the season premiere in this thread (sorry about that I deleted the one I started).

So my observations:

-In the premiere, Jack was in seat 24 but in the premiere, but he was in seat 23 in the pilot which is one of the 4 8 15 16 23 42 numbers while 24 is not. If the numbers changed, then I wonder how Hurley won the lottery if he played the old numbers? Or maybe he won the lottery playing different numbers that aren't "jinxed" and that's why he's still CEO of the chicken place in the new X world whereas it got hit by a meteor before?

- I don't think Jack imagined Desmond. I think Desmond was either time-jumping like he's been doing all along and just moved out of that dimension or whatever and/or people are slowly disappearing because Jack changed everything.

- It doesn't follow that Jacob took over Sayid's body. MIB didn't take over Locke's body - MIB is some sort of shape-shifter and now is in the shape of Locke's body but Locke's body was in the trunk they were carrying. So if Jacob is in the shape of Sayid where is the Sayid's real body? Or are they not the same thing and MIB is a shapeshifter but Jacob is really a ghost?

- Do you think it matters that in the X reality Hurley and Sawyer are all happy and worry-free (unlike the way they were when they went to Australia) and Sun and Charlie are jerks (just like they were before)?

- Not my theory, I read this on the internet: MIB "in chains" comment to Richard means that Richard was originally a slave on the Black Rock.

[Sock Puppet]

The writers themselves said that there are many smaller questions that will not get an answer (such as Hurley winning the lottery in X, and what numbers did he use.)

Its possible Richard was a slave (or a prisoner) on the Black Rock, as it fits with the view of Jacob and MIB sitting on the Beach, looking out over the ocean and seeing the ship, and MIB commenting to Jacob about it.

Perhaps that was the beginning of a new game of chess between those two? Richard simply became a pawn of Jacobs...

Thanks for the insight. Only 2nd episode of final season but I am feeling like they are wasting valuable time...wouldn't it be nice if they suprised us all and decided to make a season 7 or a few 2 hour follow up movies would be cool to...........they certainly could keep the story line going.......forever.............

[SFJenn]

I think my head exploded again!

[Brian Lettera]

I don't think Libby will be back, they killed her off for a reason, beacause of her DWI and another cast member they both were killed in the same episode, notice how Ana Lucia wasn't on the plane in the first episode, neither was Libby? I think they would have introduced them already. I would love to have that whole thing between her and Hurley resolved.

[Lost Castaway]

Poor Sawyer! I had high hopes for him and Juliet. It seems that he finally found the love he had been searching for his whole life. And as with life, It is evident that some people are simply destined to be alone no matter what....or can true love find its way.......
