In What Kate Does, Sawyer leaves the Temple and says Jack isn’t his friend, after he says this the camera spends a a couple of seconds on Sayid. So the fact the smoke is searching out Sawyer at the start of this episode is no accident. Dogan said the darkness is taking over Sayid, so i think Flocke has his first recruit.

I know you’re probably thinking that we don’t know yet that MIB is the dark force as Jacob’s motives are appearing to become increasingly shady but the point of this post is tell you why I think MIB is in fact the dark player in this intriguing game of good vs evil.

I think Flocke is ‘conning’ Sawyer into doing something, i suppose the best conclusion is that he wants Sawyer on his side during the war. I don’t think he wants to leave the island at all & as Richard warned he is going to kill everyone. Here are my reasons: First of all we know he can turn into something that can fly so why doesn’t he fly off the island, he throws away the white stone in the cave & leaves the black one, he denies knowledge of the child in the jungle & if Jacob has left the island why can’t he?

This might all seem a bit thin but I think during this season more than ever clues that will lead to things that when we watch the season again knowing where it goes will smack you in the face are being given, much like the Locke/Flocke reveal last season. Remember watching this show is easy to do with eyes closed.

This post is a theory as to why i think the 815ers have different backstories in the alternate time.

I would like to start this rather long theory by saying I think of the flash sideways officially as an alternate timeline. This post was formulated after I listened to Katy Gowland’s initial reaction to 6.4, I’m not sure weather she had put a great deal of thought into this comment but it flipped a switch in my head. She said that in the flash sideways for whatever reason Jacob never visited the losties as he did in the original time.

After hearing this I started to think about the differences Jacob not visiting Sawyer, Jack, Locke, Jin & Sun & Kate would have had & the ripples this would cause on the other people on the plane. I know he visited Hurley & Sayid but as this was post crash I don’t think it changes the characters life pre crash. In 6.4 Flocke says that Jacob manipulated & pushed the losties into coming to the island, so to clarify the alternate timeline is a world where Jacob never visited the losties. Another thing I need to mention is that the slightest difference in the characters lives in the alt time will change things & as all the characters have crossed one way or another the changes caused by the lack of Jacob in the core 6 will have rippled through to the rest of the alternate 815 survivors.

When Jack was visited by Jacob he had just had an argument with his dad & went to get a chocolate bar. Getting this chocolate bar I think would have calmed him down I know this sounds stupid but when you have an argument a drink or something like chocolate can be used as a way of calming down. So Jacob manipulated Jack by calming him down & ensuring he gets this chocolate bar & prevents him from continuing the argument with his dad re the interrupted operation. The irony being that the lack of a further argument with his dad in original time leads to him hating his dad where as in the alternate the fact he continues the argument with his dad leads to him having a better relationship with him & will mean Jack is a more intact person in 04 alternate. He will not force his dad to fall of the wagon like he did in A Tale Of Two Cities. The lack of Ana Lucia on the alternate plane leads me to think Christian was in Australia for a different reason.

From The Guardian

Lost in music: songs inspired by the series

Meet Sonic Weapon Fence, The Oceanic Six and Previously on Lost – but why aren’t bands inspired by any other shows

Lost isn’t a particularly musical television programme. Although Michael Giacchino’s score can be touching at times, the show doesn’t even have a proper theme tune. In fact, the nearest thing is probably Charlie Pace’s fictional hit You All Everybody – a song so astoundingly cloddish and misshapen that the thought of his band, Drive Shaft, becoming successful in any meaningful way requires more suspension of disbelief than the smoke monster, the time travelling and the nuclear bomb put together.

But just because Lost itself isn’t very musical, it doesn’t mean that its fans are similarly affected. Over the past couple of years, a number of bands have been formed with the sole intention of writing and performing songs purely about Lost. Los Angeles has The Oceanic Six, an electronic outfit with songs called things like Mr Eko and Dude. New York has Previously On Lost, whose Be My Constant and Wherever Sun Go (I Go) sound like early Babybird demos. And then there’s Chicago’s Sonic Weapon Fence.

I’m sure the Americans readers are aware Lost’s season 6 opener LA X was shown here in Britain last night.

Digital Spy have posted the viewing figures……. ‘The return of Lost for its final season was a ratings success for Sky1 last night, according to early figures….. ‘The first two episodes of season six, which revealed what happened after Juliet attempted to detonate the bomb, pulled in audiences of 830k (3.4%) and 728k (3.7%) from 9pm’.

For a satellite channel which Sky1 is these numbers are pretty good but not great, for example Glee’s latest episode was watched by 1.1 million on E4 but 24 on Sky1 also only had 671k for it’s latest episode. Despite this mixed news the critical reviews in the papers & websites here have all been extremely positive.

Another one of the UK’s biggest Lost fans, check out Gareth’s blog & podcast here http://garethswasteoftime.blogspot.com

LOSTblog:  How long have you been watching Lost?

Gareth: Since episode 1 first aired on Channel 4 in the UK. Never lost interest in it.

Q: How did Lost get its polar bear claws into you? What about it got you hooked?

The pilot was unlike any show I’d ever seen before and when the Losties heard a "monster" in the jungle and saw trees getting pushed over, I was hooked by my first big question of the show.  Little did I realise just how many questions were still to come…

Katy is the primary sole Lost podcaster in the UK so it would have been rude not to ask her to take the interview.

Geeky Tom is a part of the Lost Initiative which is the UK’s offical Lost video podcast so he needed to be asked to take the interview i think.

Q:  How long have you been watching Lost?

Since the beginning. I worked at Channel 4 when they bought the rights to the first series. I got told to watch it by a colleague because they thought I would absolutely love it..they were right. I got asked to do the Channel 4 Lost podcast on the back of the work I did on the Channel 4 Lost website and because I had seen the first season and the majority of the second. It seems that my Geeky status is a bit of a cheat!

Laurie is one of the biggest UK Lost fans that I tweet with & re watches episodes with me so I deemed it appropriate to ask her to take the interview. She is such a huge Lost (continue reading…)

British Newspaper The Guardian have conducted this interview with Fox ahead of the 6th season.

Matthew Fox has one of those superfirm handshakes that catches you off-guard and makes you wish you’d caught his hand with just that bit more force. Fox is every inch the sort of intense, super- focused Hollywood player you’d expect Dr Jack Shephard (the character from the epic TV show Lost he has spent the last six years playing) to be if he was an actor.

From the very first episode, Jack is at the heart of the show. It’s through his eyes that we first find out where we are, as he wakes up, stumbles out of the jungle, and into the middle of a plane crash on a beach littered with bodies and the burning remnants of Oceanic Flight 815. He’s the instant leader, the hunky doctor whose medical instincts kick in, framing him as the classic reluctant hero. Not the sort of character you’d expect to wind up a few years later as a junkie with a serious deathwish. Will his heroic nature return as we approach the sixth and final season?

Ditigal Spy have posted this interview they did with Damon & Carlton at the TCA press tour.

What can you tell us about season six?

Carlton: “The season premiere picks up right after the finale, but we really don’t want to say too much about it. We’ve been very circumspect about the sixth season and primarily because there’s this big cliffhanger. Juliet hits the bomb. There’s a white flash. What happened? Jack and Faraday were postulating that this was going to reset the clock and the Oceanic 815 would fly along and land in Los Angeles. If she taps that bomb and something else happens, maybe they’re still stuck on the island? We don’t really want to kind of give away what the show is going to be this season, so that’s why we’ve been very circumspect about what we’ve said and that’s why we haven’t shown any new footage yet. We will let you into a couple of secrets, though. Harold Perrineau will be back on the show this year.”

Damon: “And fan-favourite Libby, Cynthia Watros, will also be back on the show in the final season.”
