The ODI

I have skimmed this list and it is very interesting. Check it out!

Thanks to DarkUFO Reader Mark for sending us the following.

After spending a rigorous amount of time watching and rewatching episodes of Lost, I compiled a complete list of mysteries and answers within the show, with episodes in which the mystery was answered cited in their explanations. At over 70 pages, this document presents, as far as I know, the most complete and organized set of mysteries, answers, and unanswered mysteries within the show on the internet.

It should be noted that answers from the "New Man in Charge" epilogue are used.

Attached is the file of the mysteries and answers of Lost, made as accurate as I could. Only things were presented as mysteries are included.

A few facts:
Season 1 has 80 total mysteries, 6 unanswered mysteries
Season 2 has 106 total mysteries, 17 unanswered mysteries
Season 3 has 101 total mysteries, 16 unanswered mysteries
Season 4 has 135 total mysteries, 28 unanswered mysteries
Season 5 has 148 total mysteries, 38 unanswered mysteries
Season 6 has 93 total mysteries, 22 unanswered mysteries
LOST, in total, had 663 total mysteries, 536 answered mysteries, and 127 unanswered mysteries. However, many of those "unanswered mysteries" may not seem significant to some, though are presented as mysteries nonetheless

You can see the complete list below. Do you agree/Disagree with some of these? Do you have different answers?


Lost - Mysteries and Answers - Complete and Final List -

Looks like ABC are pushing some new starter kits to help new viewers catch up with Lost. We're not sure if these have been updated from when they were originally aired.

Hey All,
Our good friends over at SpoilerTV Forums (which you can access by clicking the "Forum Tab" in the menu bar above) over the last two months have been counting down the Top 50 Most Unforgettable Moments in LOST so far.

I am sure with a little over more than a Season to go it will no doubt change, but it is a great list.

Well forum user DharmaFlashes has been counting down the moments and finally announced that the Most Unforgettable Moment is the Season 3 Finale Flash Forward reveal with Jack and Kate.

I know many spoiler fans had that scene ruined and unbelievably with all the spoilers I knew and post, I was spoiler-free and it was truly an amazing moment to watch!!

You can check out all 50 moments at the following link:

Onomatopoeia is a disease all LOST writers suffer from. We're always looking for ways of intensifying the sense of action we're trying to convey on the page. So without spoiling what's coming up this season, we've asked our awesome co-producer/script coordinator Gregg Nations to pull up a list of some of the unique words that appear in the first 3 episodes of season 5. They might give you a very marginal sense of what's coming up:

From #501:
CL-CLICK. BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP. KNOCKNKNOCKKNOCK! WHAPPP! VVVVVVWWHHHHHEEEEMMMMMM! PLLEPPT-PLEPTT-PLEPTT. BOOOOOOOOOM! BLAAM!!! THUUDDD. CRUUUUUUUUUNCH! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! SMAAASSHHHH! SHCLICK!!!! CA-CLICK. FOOOMP. SKLIIIIIISH. PING. RAT-A-TAT. BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!!!!

From #502:
BWOOBWOO! TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP. KNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCK. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. SLAMMM! THWACK! KRE-KLACK. BEEEEP... SLAMS. SCRRIIIIIDDDDDDDFLIP!

From #503:
FLAPP-FLAPP-FLAPP. AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!! THRAAAAASH! KAAAAAAAA-THWOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! CLICKETY-CLICKETY-CLACK. CRRRR-ACK!

Not only are these words fun to write, they're also fun to spell check. As each one comes up, your fingers hover there on the mouse wondering whether to "ignore" or "save" or whether you're just plain insane.

Also this week, we've got a brand new video about the LOST BOOK CLUB for you, including a special reading from a book that appears this upcoming season.
GAASSPPPP! What's this? Why, it looks like a first-look at an as-yet-unseen Dharma station logo. Hmmmmmmm... I wonder what the name of the station is?

ABC has announced that it will make LOST available on Veoh.com soon. Veoh is a video hosting for HQ videos and will be the first time ABC has allowed their shows to be hosted outside of the ABC.com site.

Here are the details:

Full episodes of ABC shows like Grey's Anatomy, Lost and others will soon be available on Veoh.com, part of a liaison between the parties. This is the first time ABC has permitted its programming to appear on sites beyond ABC.com, reports The New York Times.

ABC's shows join syndicated offerings from CBS, MTV and USA. It's said to be considering other distribution deals, including one with Hulu, which is run by NBC and Fox.

Veoh will serve the content through an ABC-branded media player. Users will not be able to fast-forward or skip commercials.

Last month ABC said it would try pumping more ads into online commercial breaks.

Hey Losties,
One of the biggest mysteries of our favorite show LOST is how all of the characters are connected to one another from their pasts.

Now only is it fun to see scenes with the Losties off-island together but also great to know that we are getting a new easter egg and piece of the puzzle.

I know there are many fans out there that feel that these connections do mean something while others feel that there is no significance and it is just for fun.

Well I have always been a believer in FATE, so from day one I have always felt that there will be some answer to how and why all of these connections exist. This season's Episode 5 The Constant a Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) Centric episode explored the ideas of "flashing" or "mind time travel" and introduced us to the concept of having a "constant". Desmond's constant was of course Penny, while Daniel Faraday had Desmond is his constant on one of the pages of his notebook.

This notion of having a concept began a new debate among LOST fans and opened the door to a possibility that other Losties might be flashing and/or might have constants as well.

Of course we have no proof that any of the other characters have been possibly infected with high amounts of electromagnetism, plus a constant has to be something the person strongly feels about in present time and in the past/future. So the odds that perhaps the other Losties are flashing might be low, but there is still the question of how and why are these past connections!?

Well the following video clip does not answer that question, but is still a great clip showing us the LOST Connections. Also, it is updated with this seasons connections as well, so enjoy and namaste.

Thanks to Mrs. P for the video and LOST Perdidos for the heads up.

Here is something fans have been waiting for forever!! A LOST Soundtrack!!

Thanks to our good friend DarkUFO for the details:

Music Composed by Michael Giacchino

2 CD Set
Matthew Fox
Evangeline Lilly

Meet … The Others! Season Three of the blockbuster series LOST got of to a mysterious start and worked up a tremendous amount of excitement before unveiling one of the most jaw-dropping moments in recent television history to close its thrilling season finale.

LOST fans have been going crazy waiting for this Season 3 soundtrack. And here it is! Finally! And this one is special. Composer Michael Giacchino composed some of his most complex and captivating music for LOST’s third season. The season contained so many highlights that we couldn’t squeeze them all onto a single CD! So here’s our own LOST surprise … Disc One of this Season 3 soundtrack contains the best music from the season up to the two-hour finale. Disc Two features the complete original score from the two-part finale episode Through The Looking Glass.

No fan of LOST will be able to do without this one! Michael Giacchino’s music for LOST has consistently ranked among the medium’s very best and for the third season he was really able to let loose. His music is moving, compelling, more than a little tense, mysterious and heartbreakingly beautiful.

LOST Season 3 is the soundtrack everyone has been waiting for and now we offer more than could have even be hoped for. 2 CDs for little more than a single!

The Season Three DVD is already a best-seller. Now, just in time for the thrilling final arc of Season 4 episodes comes this third volume to our hugely successful series of LOST soundtracks!

Catalog #: 302 066 892 2
Release Date: 04/29/08

Here is a nice little interview with everyone's favorite one-eyed other Mikhail (Andrew Divoff). Patchy as we all know was last scene alive pulling the pin on the grenade that killed Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) in the LOST Season 3 finale.

One minor spoiler on whether he is alive or dead, other than that you are free to read because it is mainly about his role in Season 3.

Mikhail was definitely a very interesting character on Lost. I mean, he came back to life twice! What do you think happened? How did he survive the sonic fence and the spear?

Mikhail’s survival is a direct result of being on the island and being in tune with its various vibes. He speaks in awe of Jacob having seen what he can do and how he can inspire. Mikhail’s own explanations are to the point, at least when he spoke of his own past and his encounter with the sonic fence and its low frequency. In this scene Mikhail smiles at this old ‘monster’ one he knows intimately and yearns for the test to come-who will step up to this test? Locke pushes him through at which point Mikhail turns and thanks him.

Do you think it’s the same power that gave Locke the use of his legs back, cleansed Rose’s cancer, and kept Naomi alive?

YES.

Because Mikhail is so famous for surviving, is there any chance he’s still alive? Will we see him again?

In case you were wondering at which point my ego would trump my intellect it would be right now. (Highlight to Read Minor Spoiler)Of course he’s still alive, at least on the island he is.(End Spoiler)

I know quite a few Charlie fans are angry at Mikhail for what he did in last season’s finale. How did you feel about your character being responsible for a major character’s death?

On a personal level, and because Dominic is such a great human it weighed heavy until I saw Dom at a great season’s end party thrown by Josh Holloway and was able to give him a hug and say sorry to which he said ‘its alright mate’ and smiled wisely on. I must tell you that at my local mountain coffee shop all the regulars and the staff are big LOST fans and gave me hell for a few weeks-all in good fun!

What was your most memorable moment while in Hawaii filming Lost?

As the island where Oceanic flight 815 went down has magical powers so does the Island of Oahu, and this really answers your next question too, as far as the most memorable moment. From the moment I arrived on the island I was spellbound first by the beauty of the island’s natural attractions, and then by the people who make it an awesome experience to work there.

Which of the Lost actors were the most professional in your opinion? Who did you enjoy doing a scene with most?

There was not one of the actors on the show who was not professional. My first real scenes were with Evangeline Lilly, Terry O’Quinn and Naveen Andrews. The biggest part of the first day was with Evangeline and Naveen who both made me feel at ease and accepted. I thought the work there was dynamic-at the Flame. They were all three very physically adept and what is more important trusting of their fellow actor. I enjoyed the scenes with the lads-Dominic, Daniel Dae, Ian and Jorge helping to save Naomi. I had a great time and learned alot in the scenes with Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson. At any rate I suppose what I was saying is that the working environment- literally and figuratively -made the whole experience memorable.

New footage from the Lost video game (“Via Domus”) has been released, and we caught a glimpse of your character, Mikhail. Did you have to go in for any kind of scan, or to do a voice-over for the game?

I did go in for the voicing of Mikhail and was blown away in a how the hell did they do that kind of a way when I saw the likeness to ‘Patchy’.

Can you tell us anything concerning season 4 of Lost?
As far as season four is concerned even if I could tell you something, I couldn’t, you know how that is!!! One thing I can tell you is that it’ll be too short a season.

What can we expect from you in the near future as an actor? Have you taken on any new roles?

In future I look forward to seeing Indy 4, I must say it was a pleasure to be on a set with all those demi-gods and a pleasure to watch Harrison Ford work and interact with his cast. That was a treat. As for the future I am always excited when I work far away from home and have a chance to experience a new part of the world. I would love to come work in Hungary. I have unfortunately only been there once to visit family living in BudaPest and was treated to a great tour which ended up by the Istvan Cathedral overlooking the Danube.

Thank you so much for your time and for doing this interview. Is there anything else you’d like to say to all your Hungarian Lost fans out there?
To my Hungarian LOST fans I would like to say Nagyon Kösönöm for following my work and I will be keeping you all posted via my website: andrewdivoff.com.

Hey Losties,
As some of you know there is an Official LOST Magazine that covers everything LOST.

Well here are some scans of a couple of the articles from the most recent issue. One article focuses on Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and the other article is about the "triangle" with Jack (Matthew Fox), Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Kate (Evangeline Lilly).

NOTE: I have only skimmed the articles, so please be careful of some potential spoilers.

Thanks to DarkUFO for the heads up.

Hey All,
Once again thanks for participating!! Here is the third set of answers, don't worry there will be more answers to follow.

As always there are some minor spoilers that are hidden via invisio, so if I missed something I apologize and please let me know so I can correct it.

Also if you missed the previous answers here are the links to the previous posts:

Q&A Answers Part 1 | Q&A Answers Part 2

If your question has not been answered it is most likely still on the list or it was a duplicate question and removed.

NOTE: Please read previous answers so questions are not duplicated and also please keep in mind there is still a list with 100s of questions to still be answered.

71. This is awesome!! Be sure to thank the writer for doing this for us!

I love this show and just wanted to ask..

Back in season 1, Charlie says he wasn't able to help Joanna (who drowned in ep. 6 I believe) because he doesn't swim. Similarly, Desmond saw a flash of Charlie drowning trying to save Claire from the same fate. However, in Greatest Hits, Charlie is revealed to have apparently been a great swimmer. Is this a big continuity error? Or a discrepancy that will somehow be explained?

This is just an error because of 2 different people writing the scripts

Clue (Spoiler):
There is actually a theory on Barbara Joanna Miller on some LOST fansites that state what happened to her in Season 1 and yes the theory is correct.
(End Spoiler)

72.This may seem like an odd question but its been bothering me forever and I must know the answer...

In season 1 a woman was drowning in the water and Charlie said "I don't swim, I don't swim" and in season 2.. in his dream/hallucination hes swimming... and then suddenly in season 3 he seems to be an all star swimmer. So my question is, whats the deal with Charlie not saving the girl in season 1?

Charlie was lying because he was afraid

73.Why did Kate run to Australia when she could have disappeared elsewhere?

Kate was planning on traveling to Bali and it would have been easier for her to leave from Australia

74. How come The Others dressed up as Hillbillies?

This was all just part of an elaborate illusion

Season Two

75. Was Kate's black horse the smoke monster like Yemi was?

Yes

76.It is said we saw The Monster in season two, but maybe didn't realize that we were looking at it. Could you give a hint? (would be nice after a couple of years headbutting :p )

Thanks !

All I can say is that the appearance of the Monster happened towards the end of the second season.

77.Thanks for the opportunity!! My question is:

The four-toed statue made our heads spin. We know somehow that it is connected to the island's past history and that it was there before the Dharma people arrived on the island. Do you have any idea of its purpose?

Yes and it will be answered (spoiler)late in Season 4 (end spoiler)

78.Why did the Others take Emma and Zack for good, but give back Walt?

It was a deal breaker

79) Will we be revisiting Radzinski, or is his story gone with Inman?

Yes, it will be back at some point

80) Was the glass eye in the Arrow really Mikhail's; will we get back to that, or is it just inferred like the polar bears coming from the Hydra?

Ummm maybe....

81) Will we, if ever, learn more about Desmond's painting in the Swan?

Yes

NOTE: The following minor and cryptic spoiler was attached to questions 79-81 because they were sent in by the same person....so I am not sure which question this is actually related to or all 3....but here you guys go...

Spoiler:

Someone will say something about that later

End Spoiler

82. Question: Why did Ben Linus encourage Locke NOT to push the button in the hatch? If this question can't be answered at this time, will we ever find out an answer?

Ben caused Locke to question his beliefs, in other words it was all just a mind game

83. NATHAN! I really want to know why Goodwin killed Nathan in the 'Other 48 Days'? Please?

There is more to Nathan that we did not touch on in Season 2 but with Season 4 I think we will add something more to that

84. The two guys that appear at the end of season 2 speaking Portuguese. Where are they from? Because I'm from Brazil and their accent is not Brazilian. Also, it doesn't seem they are from Portugal either.

Thanks! (Sorry about my poor English)

Although their accents do not exactly match any Portuguese accent, their speech is Portuguese from Brazil.

85. I believe it was the second to the last episode of Season Two and it was right after the '4 on the list' and Michael left the camp to head to the others camp. Michael was standing alone and kind of sobbing/whining and looking down at his arm(right before Jack came up to ask him if he was ok). His arm appeared to be charred or something of the sort and I always found that extremely odd. I've verified that there weren't any other ways he could have injured himself (it is obvious that its not the gunshot wound) and so the only thing I could think of was...infection?

So if you happen to answer this question, I greatly appreciate it. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for producing an incredible story.

Originally Michael was going to have problems with his arm and it was revealed that he didn't shoot himself but something different. However, this idea was dropped by the time the next episode was written

Season Three

86.Did the Hurley Bird actually say Hurley's name?

Yes

85. In "Stranger In A Strange Land", Jack is in Pucket, Thailand. There, Achara tattoos him. But when he is on the island, Isabel says that his tattoos are written in Chinese. Is it correct? Why?

The translation given by Isabel on the show is not literally accurate.

87.Awesome idea! Thanks for partaking! My Question:

One theory I read was the painting of a dog in Jacob's house is Vincent?? Can you say if it is??

No it is not Vincent but its a dog called Ms. Honolulu (aka "Lulu"). Who can be seen in many past episodes

88. In Season 3 Epi 3 "Further Instructions" when Charlie is talking to Locke when he is making his dope tent, he says " Trees. Yea I heard they're wonderful conversationalists." Is that a inside joke to Lord of the Rings and Treebeard?

Yes, LOL it is a reference to his Lord of the Rings character that spent time talking to the Ents.

89. Will it truly be revealed what the Others were building when they were holding Jack Kate and Sawyer captive? Was it REALLY a runway?

Thanks so much!

The Others seem to have at least temporarily ceased the work on the "project". Until a certain someone gets another FB, then that is when it will be revealed what it was all really for.

90. Oh wow this is great I am so excited! Ok umm... wow this is like picking a single grain of rice out of a truckload! In "I Do" when Pickett said that "Shepherd wasn't even on Jacob's list" was it safe to say that Kate, Sawyer, and maybe Hurley WERE? And if so do you think that we would ever touch on what Jacob wanted them for besides building a runway?

Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley were taken for different reasons but that was not Jacob's List

91.If Kate, Sawyer and Hurley were on Jacob's list, what do the three of them have in common to put them on that list in the first place? If it is because they are all "bad", what has Hurley done that has made that loveable mountain "bad"?

That was not Jacob's List, also it should be noted that Carlton Cuse has stated that the reason Hurley was on the list was solely to deliver a message to the other Losties.

92.The flashlight that Ben carries into Jacob’s cabin gets broken. How come its whole again when he gets out??

Scenes are sometimes filmed at different times during the day so it can be a mistake by the props department

94. I want to know what the writers envisioned Jack's feelings for Juliet to be at the end of Season Three? While she was deceptive, then honest, he seemed to trust her to work with him re the dynamite, the plan, etc., and he looked truly concerned when she volunteered to go back with Sawyer. So, what's the story here?

Jack knows she is telling the truth and feels that he can trust her. Also it should be noted that he wants the same thing as her, which is to get off the island

95. How is it that Juliette knew about the looking glass station but Mikhail didn't?

Actually Mikhail knew about TLG but was led to believe the station was inoperable.

96.Juliet told Charlie that the station wasn't blocking the Others signals, how did Charlie learn that they were?

From Desmond's vision

97.Why did Charlie close himself in the room to die, instead of running for the scuba gear and escaping?

He wanted to help save Desmond and he also knew that he had to die to help get Claire and Arron off the island

98.What did Ben promise Juliet to get her to act as a mole?

To get off the island

99. When played backwards is there a hidden audio message buried in the film we saw in room 23, or did someone just doctor that and post it on the net?

Were Nikki & Paulo supposed to have roles that are more significant in the story, or were they meant to be killed off so soon, and if so will we ever find out what those roles were?

Nope it was filmed that way and there were a couple of Easter eggs in "Not in Portland" which shed some light on the Adam and Eve skeletons....the video is one of the Easter eggs.

Nikki and Paulo were originally supposed to be in a larger story arc. However, the producers decided back in December 06 to cut them out of the loop and kill off the two characters. No I don't think we will ever find out about those roles

By the way there is more to the meaning "Nothing stays buried long"

100. My question about "the others"...are they a big organization around the world... are there any others outside the island right now, like Mittelos Bioscience, is it working?

Yes and you will see more about this in Season 4 (end Spoiler)

That is all for now, more to follow soon.

Hey All,
Here is the latest LOST Mobisode that features a scene with Juliet and Amelia during the opening sequence of Season 3 right before the book club meeting.

You can watch all of the previous Mobisodes at the following link:

LOST Mobisodes: Missing Pieces 1-11

As always thanks to DarkUFO for the clip.



Full Transcript:

[A timer is beeping. Juliet runs to the oven and gets her muffins out. She burns her hand. The doorbell rings. She runs her hand under water. It’s the woman from the beginning of ATOTC, Amelia. Amelia gets her something from the freezer.]

Juliet: I’m fine. I’m really fine. I just, I need to clean up before everyone gets here. Thank you.

Amelia: It’s him, isn’t it?

Juliet: What? Who?

Amelia: Ben. Did you invite him today?

Juliet: Thanks for [….Things are kinda awkward…]

Amelia: Finally told you how he felt, huh?

Juliet: He didn’t, he didn’t say anything. It’s just complicated. Okay?

Amelia: Complicated doesn’t make you cry.

Juliet: I burned my hand.

Amelia: That doesn’t make you cry either. What happened Julie?

Juliet: I think, I think we’re in big trouble.

Amelia: Are we?

Juliet: I need, if I show you something, do you promise not to tell anyone? Do you swear? Not anyone.

[Amelia nods her head. Juliet goes to a drawer and pulls out a large manila envelope from under the silverware tray. She starts to open it, and the doorbell rings.]

Hey All,

Well much to my surprise I recd. a message today with our first set of answers of to your questions about LOST...!!

You can STILL ask some questions....either email me or leave them on MySpace or post comment at original post here:

Q&A with a LOST Writer

OR

Post Questions in Exclusive LOST on ABC Q&A MySpace Thread

Thanks for participating. Enjoy and Namaste.

NOTE: There are some MINOR SPOILERS but I will still use Invisio for those that hate spoilers. If you think I missed a spoiler I apologize in advance and please let me know and I can fix it. If something seems like it is missing then highlight that area.

This is just the first part and we will have more soon...!!

Answers Part 1:

1.The four-toed statue Questions

Is the four toed statue related to an ancient culture on the island?

The four-toed statue made our heads spinning. We know somehow that it is connected to the island's past history and that it was there before the Dharma people arrived on the island. Do you have any idea of its purpose?

The origin of the statue will be discussed in season 4 and many people will figure out what it means and how it got there

2.Skeletons/Bag of Rocks questions

"How do the skeletons found in the cave, with the bag of rocks, play into the story?" ie- red herring or something else

Is there a significance to the black and white stones Jack pocketed in season 1?

There is actually is another meaning to this question (besides what DL and CC already said in a In an EW.com article)

One light and one dark which in retrospect is what the show about

3. My question: Jack is very obsessed with finding out who Sara's boyfriend is in the first episode of season 3. Jack is then very obsessed with the person who dies in the flash forward in the last episode of season 3. Is Sara's boyfriend from the first episode of season 3 the person that dies in the last episode of Season 3?

No, jack is a man that wont let things go, if you go back and watch the episode "A Tale of Two Cities" you clearly understand that why Christian began telling him "let it go"

4. During Season 1, when Claire is about to sign away her parental rights on her unborn baby, she asks the adoptive parents to sing the baby a song (Catch a falling star, I think). She chooses this song because her father sang it to her when she was little. But then, in season 3, it is revealed that Christian in Claire's father. So was it Christian who sang to her? I was under the impression that he never knew Claire. And for her to remember that her father sang her that song, she would have to at least be 2 or 3. Was there a stepfather?

Yes in th episode Par Avion CHRISTIAN states that he went over and sang to her and gave her gifts


6. Oh this is great! I have had a burning question on my mind since season 1!

Is there any more to Danielle Rousseau's story? Is she exactly who she says she is?

Thanks!

Yes there alot more to Rousseau and some stuff she states may not actually be true but in the upcoming seasonwe will drop hints on what shes been up to on the island before and after the crash in a flashback or two

7.Also, why was Sayid digging holes in season 3? LOL!

After that episode aired we got many ideas on how to explain that scene and you will see that come into play in the upcoming season


8.In the Season 2 finale we saw 2 guys operating in an arctic monitoring station.

What were you told about this location/scene when you came to write about it. Were you given any background to it's history and location?

Little info was given to the writing team about that scene Originally planned as 2 Russian actors in the script and a Listening Station in a place resembling Siberia but I know one writer even went back to read about the cold war to find info on the scene location hope that answers you're question

9.Thanks for considering my question.

How do the writers keep track of the various elements of story continuity? Is there a compiled book or electronic document that keeps track of the many details about each character, location, etc.? Are fan-created sites like Lostpedia ever used as a reference source during writing?

We tend to keep track of the story as we could, first if I'm writing episode 4 and say DL is writing episode 3 we stay in contact or brainstorm in a meeting to keep story lines in the right order also help to have a executive story/script editor

10.Did Desmond do a time-travel in the episode "Flashes before your eyes"?
Or was it only a dream..vision?

Desmond did really travel back in time

And...

11.Was Ben really talking to Jacob in "The Man behind the curtain"? Is he able to hear him? Or only John can?

In that end scene only John could hear him


12.How long does it take to write an episode?

Depends on the story or for that matter the episode flashback (in other words 13 to 20 days)

13.It seems like the whispers have become less and less relevant as the show has gone on. I really miss them and the eerie feeling I'd get after trying to dissect its meaning. As writers, do you actually write what's said in the whispers, or is it more of a directorial nuance? And will we be hearing them again soon?

We will hear them again but in the Season Finale there were 3 in the scene where Locke was gonna kill himself.

These are not random noises, but actual dialog


14.What is it like to write for a morally ambiguous character like Ben?

Great, Michael Emerson is without a doubt one of the best actors today to write something for him is a honor

15.When you sit down to write an episode, do you write in pieces/scenes, or do you write all the flashbacks at once and the island parts at once? Or does it all just come out at once?

For me its THE flashback first then the moral of the story/person (whats happen on the island)

16.Why did the Others take Emma and Zack for good, but give back Walt?

Thats something we didn't have time to explain in season 2 but wanted to mention in early Season 4

17. Was Cindy a plant on the plane, or did she just join the Others after they crashed?

You will get a answer on that in season 4 thats all I'm saying

18.Will there be an Official Podcast for season 4? I'm worried the writer's strike will make it so that they can't do one.

You will hear the sexy voices of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse again

19.Is it hard to keep the show a secret? Do you sometimes want to go home and tell everyone on the way stuff like "IT'S A FLASHFORWARD!!!!!!!" or does leaking little stuff to sites like this help curb that need?

It is I remember I ruined a episode for a friend by saying Yeah to bad he gets killed by the Monster in Episode 4....and now to this day he wont talk to me about the show

20.I would like you to talk a little bit about what Orange means to you as a writer

Orange means to me either peace or sin depending on what it is on

THATS IT FOR NOW, I WILL ANSWER MORE IN THE COMING DAYS

**Thank you to ALL of you that have submitted questions and participated in this Q&A. With the S4 Premiere less than a week away we will NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS**


Hey All,
Now many of you should know by now that we (fans and forums) are being watched by the producers and writers of LOST....and ultimately they are writing and producing the show for us.

Well one our good friends and source of info/spoilers has just informed me that a LOST Writer is a fan of the LOST on ABC MySpace group I help moderate. The source mentioned that this writer reads many of the posts made in the forum...and that they have agreed to answer some of our questions...!!

Yes your very own exclusive Q&A session with a LOST writer....!! Basically the way it will work is by us posting questions about Seasons 1-3 here in the specified thread and compile a list of questions. Unfortunately for spoiler lovers apparently no spoilers for season 4 will be revealed. So please ask questions about S1-3 only.

Once we get a good list of questions I will be able to send a list of questions back to our source and depending on the questions and how many we get, the LOST writer will answer them.

Sorry at this point we will not know who the writer is, but if this Q&A works well, then perhaps it can become a regular thing...?

Here is the message from my source:

I was thinking that since I know writers from the show that I'll make one come on and answer some questions from the group so I finally got one to agree.

A good friend of mine not to be named is a fan of the group and reads many posts on the LOST board and would like to answer a few questions from the fans.

So if you and the group have a questions email me back with a list or make a thread (cause I know there going to be a lot) and I'll reply back with the answers but no spoilers or Theories on the upcoming season just questions from season 1-3 or anything that was a rumored/filmed during the time of season 1-3.

So please ask away and spoiler lovers MAYBE if you ask a smart question about Season 1-3 we might learn something about Season 4.

For those of you that are not members of the group but would like to be a part of this opportunity to have your question answered, then please join the group at the following link and click on "Join" at top of the page.
