    well there is also that weird aging thing on the island.. so i dont know how that affects him.

    Well, it sucks for the actor who plays him because his show got canceled, but I'm excited to have Richard back on the show. Because yeah there is definitely some funky aging and time difference going on on the island and I think Richard is the one best suited to explain it. Unless Farraday keeps experimenting and deciphers it sooner.

    There was a clearer screen cap someone posted, but if I remember correctly there was something about hanging from a beam in it.

    Yeah I can see the word "beam" in the screencap you posted. It also looks like it says "the body of Jo". Who in the series has the first two initials "Jo"? And the last name looks to be "antham". Obviously this could be an alias, but something to look for, maybe one of Ben's aliases (sp?) from the drawer. That's why no one would go to the funeral and Jack would be upset because he thinks he can't get back to island without Ben there to help. Official: I now think it is Ben in the casket.

    from ew.com...

    If only getting the 2007-2008 television season up and running again were as easy as rebooting a laptop. Here, in their own words, TV's top writers — from Lost, Saturday Night Live, Two and a Half Men, and more — tell EW about the jitters, group hugs, and story-line amnesia they experienced during their first week back at work.

    LOST
    Exec producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof focus on the positives: faster pacing, questions answered — and Nestor Carbonell!

    CARLTON CUSE: We were faced with the daunting challenge of taking eight hours of story and having to compress it [into five]. We knew we were going to be off for another eight months; we didn't want the audience to leave the season feeling unfulfilled.

    DAMON LINDELOF: Carlton arrived five minutes before I did. As usual, I said, ''Hello, doctor!'' And he said, ''Hello, doctor!'' We hugged, sat down, ate breakfast, and began to discuss the modus operandi for the day.

    CUSE: There were literally cobwebs on the couches of the writers' room.

    LINDELOF: The storyboards were empty. We wiped them clean for fear of people finding them during the strike.

    CUSE: While we were gone, Disney had used our writers' room to shoot scenes for Eli Stone, so our boards were hanging at slightly different heights; the cast photos weren't where they were supposed to be. It was kind of a metaphor for coming back — slightly realigned, requiring adjustment.

    LINDELOF: We had sent the writing staff copies of all eight episodes we produced before the strike to review. On our first day back, we talked a lot about them. ''Let's try to be the audience. They will have had one month to digest the first seven episodes. What will they want us to focus on when we come back?''

    CUSE: One of our first concerns was cast availability. We have one actor we very much need who is doing a play and another actor doing an HBO series. But we also have some opportunities. Nestor Carbonell, who played Richard Alpert last season, was on Cane. But now we'll be able to use him. Another unforeseen advantage is that we'll be able to respond to confusion the audience might have about the season so far.

    LINDELOF: Like Naomi's bracelet in the Sayid episode. I got some e-mails from some people who wondered if there was a connection between Naomi's bracelet and the bracelet worn by the woman Sayid killed in his flash-forward. There is no connective tissue. But some people interpreted that as ''Is there something more there?'' We might need to address that. Perhaps the biggest complication is character geography. We've always known how the season was going to end. To get there, we need to have the characters in various places on the Island itself, and it can take an entire episode to travel from A to B. So we have to get people moving sooner.

    CUSE: We're definitely energized. We got a chance to recharge our creative batteries during the strike. We're sort of like Rosie Ruiz dropping into the marathon at mile 21 — we're just going to run the final five miles of this baby at a 10K pace.

    LINDELOF: It's like stuffing eight kids into a Prius. We probably should have an SUV, but it's going to be a really fun ride, so let's buckle up and party. One of the kids might end up flying through the windshield, but hey: That's Lost. —As told to Jeff Jensen

    Maybe not. There's not a lot there. I just saw the part about the bracelet and thought it was repeated from a link posted the other day.

    that one part about the bracelet was sort of a repeat comment from the previous interview and with the pace of this threat and all the posts i can see how it would be easy to think it was a dupe. not really much new info other than apparently the ageless 'richard alpert' will be showing up this season.

    I think it depends on how long since Kate last ran into her mom that would determine Aaron's age. Kate's mom said that the doctor's have been telling her for the last the 4 years she had 6 months to live. Kate's mom looked healthy the last time we saw her in a flashback when she and Kate had that little scene in the bathroom of the diner where Kate's mom says that if she ever sees Kate again she'd turn her in.

    Also, I was thinking that Sawyer's daughter is probably about 3 or 4 now in the flash forwards. I wonder if he'll ever leave the island and meet her.
    The flashback of Kate's mom at the diner was the last flashback the viewers saw, but it wasn't the most recent flashback chronologically. In the diner flashback, Kate's mom said if she ever saw Kate again, she'd scream, "Help me!" In an earlier episode's flashback, Kate discovered her mom was dying of cancer and went to see her at the hospital. Kate's mom, true to her world, screamed, "Help me!" as soon as she saw Kate. Her mom definitely wasn't healthy in that flashback. She was dying.

    The credits said that the boy (Aaron) was 2-years-old. Sayid is off the island, but we don't know how much more time Kate, Jack, Hurley, Aaron, and the final Oceanic 6 member are on the island before being rescued. When they do get off the island, we don't know if they return home immediately or if they spend any amount of time on the freighter or elsewhere. It may still be months or a year before they actually go home.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.

    I can't even begin to keep up with this thread.

    Any one else a tad dissapointed that we will probably find out who is in the coffin soon? It seemed like something that would come much later. Then again, maybe it isn't as important of a moment as I thought. I just don't want the show to become a "here's the entire ending now let's slowly show you what happened in between" kinda thing. I don't think it will, because I'm convinced that in the last season of the show they are going back to the island. I hope.

    What happened to not posting anything remotely spoilerish in the thread? Why do you have to cut and paste entire articles (ew, lostpedia, etc.)? Just post the link and then people can go to it if they want to read it.

    first, please point out what i posted that was remotely spoilerish. i hate, hate, hate spoilers and i don't think anything i posted was a confirmed, set in stone, spoiler (ie - who is in the coffin, who are the remaining members of the oceanic 6, etc).

    second, some people have blocks at work that don't allow them to access certain websites, even things like ew.com. i just like posting a large block of text.

    no offense, but who made you king of this thread?

    **edit** if people have a problem with me posting large chunks of text in this thread, please let me know and i'll fuck off on the thread **end edit**

    Personally rather have a link so I can decide whether or not to read... plus it cuts down on clutter.

    The text was a tad spoilerish...no major stuff but a few things that I could have done without reading. (In fact I didn't know who the flashback/forward for the episode was, and usually don't, prefer it that way, but now I know).
