Lost

[Port]

April 24th is the supposed return date.

Well apparently we're suppose to believe that the island won't let Michael die, so healing powers shouldn't be anything astonishing.

Keep in mind that the creators/writers said it themselves that everything could be explained "scientifically." So unless, Tom padded the thing Michael hit with a bunch of pillows and rigged the gun to not work unless it's pointing at anything but Michael, then I cant wait to see how they're going to explain this shit.

I'll explain it for you in two words.

Quote from that site - "What science has observed at the quantum level has raised more questions than it has answered." Sounds familiar..

Good find.

I've been watching the first season, as of late, and during episode 5(?), Jin is kicking Michaels ass, because he has his Korean marked watch.

During the last episode, we see Michael trading the watch in for a gun. Did I miss/forget something, or is this another mystery provided by the writers of Lost?

[Dunlap]

It's just something he had. Eventually Jin gives it to him after they learn to be friends, I think.

[Brand X]

Yep, that's exactly what happened.

It will be Michael. It seemed to be funeral for unlikeable character, and looked like a ghetto funeral home. Put 2 and 2 together

Totally agreeing with this now.

Since he is back in the real world under an assumed name, no one knows he's alive so no one would know to show up. He was trying to kill himself in NYC, where the coffiner did in fact off himself. And Jack could definitely idenitify himself as neither family nor friend to Michael but feel some obligation to pay respects especially if Michael was pivotal in getting him off the island. There also could be some 'his job is done so he was able to die' implications which is why his death was so important that he had to show it to Kate at the end of season 3.

Good call Despair.

Exclusive: Best. Lost. News. Ever.

OK, I've left you hanging long enough, Ausholes. The scintillating piece of Lost prattle I've been holding over your heads since Ask Ausiello went live early this morning (i.e., the better-than-the-coffin-reveal scoop) goes a little something like this....

According to one of my 815 snitches, Team Darlton is in advanced talks with ABC to produce — wait for it, wait for it — an additional hour of Lost this season!

[The crowd roars]

Now, before you go French-kissing a total stranger out of sheer elation, my source stresses that this is by no means a done deal. In fact, the scheduling hurdles alone are enough to make a grown man cry. But you have to admit, the prospect of a 14th hour is a tantalizing one. And it raises so darn many questions. For instance:

• If the dream becomes a reality, how would it work? As it stands, Lost's Season 4 climax is slated to air on May 22 on a season-finale-themed night that also includes the cappers of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy. So would the additional Lost hour be broadcast the following Thursday? Or would it perhaps run on another night?

• What does this do to the finale that was going to air on May 22? Would elements of it be incorporated into the new finale? Would this 14th hour come before that episode? And since we were originally supposed to get 16 eppies this season before the strike cut that number back to 13, does this mean we would now be getting a season finale that is more in line with what Darlton intended? Or more exposition that they ran out of time to include? The mind boggles.

So what do you think, people? And where does the line for the 14th-hour prayer group form? I'm in.

[Space Pirate Roberts]

Yep.

It's official: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Steve McPherson has signed off on Lost's extraspecial 14th hour this season, which means Lost is getting a three-hour finale! The first hour airs May 15, the second and third hours will air May 29, beginning at 9 p.m. (ABC will still air the finales of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy on May 22, as expected.)

Word is there are so many big reveals the producers wanted to deliver this season that they felt anything less than a full three-hour finale would have cheated the fans. In fact, I'm hearing that the writers' draft for the second half of the finale was 80 pages long, which led all parties involved to realize these stories had to be told now. Anything else would have felt like a rip-off for the fans

Needless to say, this news rocks. Check out the ridiculously awesome promo for Lost's all-new episode on April 24, and then post your excitement about the extra hour of season four below!
