This latest podcast focuses on season 2, episode 22 of LOST, Three Minutes. We certainly got a great setup for the 2 hour finale next week. In this installment, we address the Michael-centric topics including his flashback on the island, the others including Alex and the mysterious Ms. Klugh, his brief meeting with Walt and the task(s) he's given. Also covered are developments with Charlie and Claire, as well as Eko's new "faith", skepticism about Michael's motivations from Sayid, the sailboat and where Locke may be headed. We also talk about what next week's LOST finale might have in store.

Seriously, this link below supposedly contains basically EVERYTHING about the season finale. Do not click on this if you want to even remotely enjoy the finale. If it's true, then this link has already ruined my finale experience. Only click here if you are a glutton for punishment.
Stay LOST.

So I read the finale spoiler. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not very impressed by it...
Posted by: Lien | May 21, 2006 at 03:21 PM
I read the spoiler as well... it seems like we take several leaps forward in the storyline. How could you not be impressed by it. The poor writers on Lost can't do anything without people trying to bring them down. Why are people soooo ready to down the whole thing!!!

Just read the spoiler at the link you guys gave and just wanted to make this comment.
(If you didn't read it...the following is not a spoiler but it could be if you think laterally)
If you recall a while ago, I believe it was Damon and Carlton (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) who said that they basically took Stephen King's "The Stand" and put it on an island.
Sounds a lot more like the truth if this is really the way the finale pans out. I don't know if all the data in the spoiler link is true, but if it is...well then there you have it.
Great podcast by the way! You guys really should have Matt Jones on more often.

Seems that if you look at the pictures for the final episode they seem to substantiate a lot of what is written in that spoiler page.
Posted by: Conrad from Pennsylvania | May 21, 2006 at 04:02 PM
I read 4 lines of the big spoiler but managed to stop myself.

Is it just me, or did the rock with the hole in it look a lot more like the ruin of part of a building? Like a wall with a window in it?

It would be cool if there was another comment section for just spoiler related discussion, I'm really worried I'm gonna accidentally read a spoiler in here, haha...

on the like of dj something there is a banner for verizonwireless right? In the official podcasts they mentoined something about movisodes. Which i think will be 5 minute episodes using verizonwirelless's V CAST service.
Posted by: Rey | May 21, 2006 at 04:51 PM
It's a foiler - come on guys there isn't even enough for a normal epidsode here and there is no mention of any of the guest stars (eg Clancy Brown). Its been debunked on many of the boards eg the Fuselage - It comes from a poster on I think the ABC board who signed on with a brand new account
foiler, foiler, foiler

October 28 -
In ancient times, the Phoenician sun-god Baal of the Heavens was honored annually on or around this date. He presided over nature and fertility, and was associated with Winter rain. Sacred sun-symbolizing bonfires were lit in his honor by his worshipers in Syria. Depicted as a warrior with a horned helmet and spear, he was once worshipped as the principal god on Earth for thousands of years.
In ancient Egypt, a series of Autumn ceremonies for the goddess Isis began each year on this date. They lasted for six consecutive days.

1] I know we all want to know what the deal with the cable is, but couldnt it be a simple signifier from the writers to the viewers that this is how there is electrical power on the island? I mean, if the writers never bring up the cable ever again, this is what we should assume really.
2] Correction for podcast: Charlie got the vaccine kit from the Dharma air drop, not Sawyer's stash. (I really hope he becomes addicted or has to take it every 9 days or die!)
3] Regarding how the Others knew Sawyer's real name: Cindy, if she's working for the Others or was interrogated by them, may have been aware of James Ford (and not Sawyer).
4] "At what point does the end not justify the means?" For a father? NEVER. Matt's right, Michael doesnt know the fellow Losties at all, after 2 months, they are still all strangers to each other. He would sacrafice all of them for his son without question. He definitely could go about saving his son in a more better way, but he's under the assumption that 1) if he doesnt act immediately his son will die and 2) because the other Losties are strangers, he cant trust them to pull through for him, the risk of losing Walt because of them is just too great a risk to take.
I dont think Michael is dumb, considering the situation he's in, its easy for us as viewers sitting on our sofas to ridicule character actions, and yeah the writers are creating drama too. Michael's main problem is he's so desperate to save Walt, he's not seeing the bigger picture: That the Others will never give up Walt. So yeah, he's not highly intelligent, but to be so, in this situation, would be to distance himself from emotion to think rationally. Not an easy thing to do at all.
If anyone's acting dumb, its Jack for not questioning Michael more, I think we can all agree on this.
Posted by: Cihan | May 21, 2006 at 05:08 PM
Now I am even more tempted to read the spoiler if it is in fact a foiler, but if it happens to truly be a spoiler, and not a foiler, well, that would really spoil the enjoyment of the finale.
So conflicted.

8 Ball: Signs point to yes.
That's really not definitive enough for me, 8 Ball.

Have to say I agree with Chris Procter. Based on a new preview I saw yesterday, there are a few key moments that are not mentioned in the spoiler. Three of which are....
*MINOR SPOILERAGE from Preview*
From what I saw, it was Sayid busting into the Other's hatch, but the entire camp looked abandoned.
Eko tells Charlie that in 19 minutes everyone is going to die. The spoiler has the time table a bit off.
And also, Jack confronts Michael about, apparently, killing Ana and Libby.
At least that was my take on the short clips I saw.
Plus, the spoiler, aside from one thing, wasn't all that revealing. I mean, he/she witholds the big surprise. I call BS.

Read the spoiler, i call BS.

"See you in the funny pages" made me think of Michael's cartoons for Walt.
Posted by: Cihan | May 21, 2006 at 05:59 PM
Cihan: What???
Posted by: randomrandom | May 21, 2006 at 06:12 PM
As far as i remember "The Stand" tell a story , where almost everybody dies , some people live , no mystic stuff ... Stephen King is an awesome writer by the way
Posted by: Eugene | May 21, 2006 at 06:47 PM
randomrandom:
"See you in the funny pages" is what one of the Others says to Michael after taking his blood. The funny pages is where the cartoons are in newspapers, and Michael seemed to have a talent in that area, when he drew cartoons for Walt. Just a random thought.

I've not read the spoiler, nor the other posts -- I really want to enjoy the finale. And based on what Compromised John said on the podcast, my prediction is probably not the case... but I wanted to point out that Libby has not actually been buried yet (I believe the bodies are resting in open holes when the boat is discovered). Wouldn't it be a great cliffhanger if Hurley et al go off to the tent camp and when the rest remember to finish the burial, Libby's body is gone. Is she alive? Has someone taken her body? What will Hurley do when he finds out? This could explain why no one from the show has talked about Watros's one-year contract/"kick-ass arc". What a coup for the writers if they were to use our assumptions about the double DUI and the flashback call sheet "spoiler" in their favor to cook up a surprise.
I like the idea that another plane will crash and it's pretty logical -- but also, entering the numbers may be the the thing somehow preventing the tent campers from entering Lostie territory, and perhaps that's how and where the showdown will occur (and we've been thrown off that scent by Michael's trip to tentland).

About the soundtrack album, Michael Giacchino (the composer) also did the soundtrack to "The Incredibles", which is a nice, jazzy score. Just like the Lost soundtrack, the Incredibles soundtrack has some cute song names like "Lava in the Afternoon", "Lithe or Death" and, for the final song, "The Incredits".
