After LOST had a panel at the TCA today, here are the bits that we got. Since some might see them as spoilers, I’ll use the spoiler tag tags. You all know Team Darlton, until the premiere, and even beyond they won’t spoil anything important, only giving us some clues as to what to expect.
Even I as a spoilerphobic, would say, only people who don’t wanna see the names of two actors returning, should stay away from this:
[spoiler]
-You can add Harold Perrineau (Michael) and Cynthia Watros (Libby) to the long list of former Lost stars returning for the final season. But as Cuse and Lindelof are constant deceivers, details were hazy. Cuse claimed all our unanswered Libby questions would be solved, while Lindelof said that was completely untrue. All we know for sure is that one of them is a liar.
-The final season will pick up right where season 5 ended. Since it ended with an exploding bomb, that could be the least helpful spoiler of all time.
-Cuse and Lindelof did say something rather interesting, that the best preparation would be rewatching the first season. Based solely on that, it definitely seems like we’re heading to a “back to the beginning” style final season.
-Emilie de Ravin claims she had to read the season 6 premiere script three times before fully understanding what happens. So either she was a bit rusty on Lost scripts, or this is going to be a complex mental battle.
-In one of those moments where someone might accidentally reveal something, there was an interesting moment when Terry O’Quinn was explaining that he didn’t know that he wasn’t really Locke during last season. Lindelof claimed it was easier not to tell him than to explain that “Thousands and thousands of years ago…” In other words, we now have some sort of time frame context for Jacob and his enemy, and it’s a really long time ago.[/spoiler]
I’m very happy to see her returning again and am intrigued why, how and in what capacity.
