Спойлеры и информация к 4 сезону!

4:19 p.m.: Если вы – один из тех, кто расстроился, услышав, что Гарольд Перрино возвращается в ЛОСТ, то не захотите читать, что написано дальше. Предупреждаем честно…Между тем, комната практически заполнена.

4:46 p.m.: В помещении уже полно народу, но я слышу, что если вы поторопитесь, то сможете купить внизу билеты на мероприятие по раздаче автографов от Damelof.

5:06 p.m.: "Вы готовы?" спрашивает женщина. Да, давайте уже начнем!

5:11 p.m.: Показывают клип по 3-му сезону; Эмерсон называет Других «бунтарской сектой»". Я подозреваю, это материал из DVD.

5:12 p.m.: "К тому времени, когда вы это увидите, я буду мертв" – говорит M.C. Gainey (Капелька: насколько помню, исполнитель роли Тома); Eddie и Adam (сопродюсеры) отдают шутливую дань невоспетым Другим (ваши Люки, и ваши Джейсоны).

5:13 p.m.: Холлоуэй что-то говорит в фильме, но его слова тонут в криках (в которых и я принимаю участие). "Жизнь Острова сейчас поставлена на карту!" Я же говорила!

5:14 p.m.: D&C (Капелька: Дэймон и Карлтон, я полагаю) здесь! Никаких микрофонов не видно. Ой. Забавно. Их не слышно.

5:15 p.m.: Вот, теперь звук восстановлен.

5:19 p.m.: "Карлтон и я, мы вообще-то пьяны" – говорит Дэймон. Он продолжает, отдавая должное фанатам, говорит, что они – это причина, чтобы прийти к завершению. Сезон 4 начнется в феврале, будут показаны 16 эпизодов.

5:20 p.m.: У них есть маленький звоночек (колокольчик). Дэймон может позвонить в него, если Карлтон увлечется и начнет слишком много говорить. Карлтон то же самое делает в отношении Дэймона. Это их безотказное средство против излишней болтливости. Я лично против колокольчиков.

5:22 p.m.: Людям предлагают включиться и начать задавать вопросы. "Если объятия неуместны, тогда я не хочу больше приходить сюда".

5:23 p.m.: Болтают о шоу, раздают ему всякие похвалы. Кто-то хочет узнать, почему много насилия, жестокости в сериале. Лично я за жестокость. Этот человек хочет, чтобы PTB пообещали, что Другие не будут «хорошими ребятами».

5:24 p.m.: Карлтон говорит, что они хотели раскрыть все карты, и это повлекло за собой «подсчет тел» (шутит, конечно). Дэймон, как обычно, говорит банальности, типа того, что наши ребята красивее, но более жестокие. “Когда Сойер бьет тебя кулаком в лицо, тебе так и хочется сказать “Еще, пожалуйста! Ты такой привлекательный, даже можешь снять свою рубашку!” Но когда это же делает Фрэндли (Капелька: Речь о Томе, я так поняла), это безжалостная жестокость. Дэймон: "Если и останется по-прежнему много насилия, то, по крайней мере, она будет исходить от катастрофически красивых людей".

5:26 p.m.: Написание сценария – это совместный процесс. У каждого сценариста есть свой любимый персонаж. Эдди и Адам любят Херли и Чарли, а также всех грустных (Капелька: насчет этого слова не уверена, minor можно истрактовать по-разному – и как «легкий», и «минорный», и «второстепенный». Не знаю, что имели в виду) персонажей; Эдди подкинул идею с фургоном для Херли, которая связана с историей Бена, где тот убил своего отца.

5:27 p.m.: Линделофф, "У нас лучшая в мире работа!"

5:28 p.m.: Где же Майкл? Они сказали, что хотели объявить здесь о том, что Гарольд возвращается, но не говорят, как или когда.

5:30 p.m.: Дэймон говорит, что ожидается еще больше флэшфорвардов. Карлтон говорит, что впереди нас ждут флэшбеки вперемешку с флэшфорвардами. А вот какой период времени будут включать в себя флэшфорварды и о ком они будут – это вопрос…

5:31 p.m.: Выяснят ли Джек и Клэр, что они родственники? Карлтон звонит в звоночек Дэймону, но Дэймон яростно кивает. Толпа сходит с ума.

5:33 p.m.: Карлон о Дхарме: "Вы узнаете больше о Дхарме скорее, чем вы можете себе представить". О, я уже чую клип. Очевидно, встреча продолжится в 5:58. Карлтон звонит в звоночек.

5:34 p.m.: ДВД выйдет 11 декабря (Капелька: думаю, это о 3-м сезоне), никаких повторных показов не ожидается.

5:35 p.m.: Бен был пойман Руссо специально? Это Бен убил настоящего Генри Гейла? Дэймон ответит лишь на 1-й вопрос. Карлтон: "Он попался случайно". Дэймон касательно Бена и Генри Гейла: "Убийство – широкое понятие. Они крупно повздорили".

5:39 p.m.: Закончили с флэшбеками, теперь самое время перейти к флэшфорвардам. Конечная дата с уверенностью позволяет сделать это. Карлтон: "То, что происходило с Кейт и Джеком – это не конец сериала". Дэймон: "Сериал никогда не был о том, как покинуть Остров…Это целая глава истории, которая будет иметь место вне Острова".

5:41 p.m.: Девушка хочет знать, когда вернется Майкл. Она пронзительно кричит, Дэймон ей вторит, это все очень мило. Гарольд наконец-то здесь. "Дамы и господа, Гарольд Перрино".

5:43 p.m.: Гарольд слушает вопросы. Дэймон говорит, "Гарольд – первый и единственный актер, который покинул сериал, как часть большой задумки с возвращением". Гарольд очень милый.

5:44 p.m.: Гарольд говорит, "Наконец-то все решено...мне не терпится вернуться на Гавайи". Карлтон, "Он пошел на крайние меры". История Майкла о том, что сила Острова поможет искупить вину.

5:45 p.m.: Человек, игнорируя Гарольда, спрашивает о Рэйчел Блейк (Капелька: кто это??) Карлтон говорит, что, вероятно, никакой Рейчел на Острове не будет.

5:47 p.m.: Дэймон говорит, что выгодно снять 16 эпизодов, а не 22, как раньше, т.к. они тогда смогут сделать больше «потрясающих» вещей в сериале.

5:48 p.m.: Кто-то хочет знать, что будут делать Линделофф и Кьюз после того, как ЛОСТ завершится. Они не думают об этом, т.к. сейчас сериал занимает все их время и мысли.

5:51 p.m.: Дэймон: "Это мечта каждого сценариста, актера, рассказчика – суметь как бы создать диалог с людьми, которые смотрят ту историю, которую ты рассказываешь. Я бы не хотел делать ошибку, повторяя сюжет ЛОСТа в дальнейшем. Может, просто напишу памфлет".

5:51 p.m.: Кому-то в зале нравится Ричард Алперт; DL & CC говорят (перефразирую), чтобы не слишком привязывались к Нестору Карбоннелу (Капелька: собственно, исполнителю роли Ричарда).

5:52 p.m.: В данный момент они пишут 1-й эпизод, но он все еще никак не озаглавлен.

5:53 p.m.: "Какие вопросы на задают фанаты, но должны бы?" спрашивает Карлтон, "Кто в гробу?" и сам себе звонит в звоночек. DL & CC спрашивают Гарольда Перрино, "Кто, ты думаешь, в гробу?" Гароль думает, что это человек, у которого есть сын подросток…возможно Лок! Дэймон бы спросил, "Кто на этом корабле, и что они хотят забрать с Острова?" Карлтон спросил бы, "Выбрались ли Кейт с Джеком с Острова? Кто-нибудь еще уехал с Острова" Дэймон: "Что за скелеты? Действительно ли Никки и Паоло мертвы?"

5:56 p.m.: Неинтересный вопрос; ответ мы знаем. Падающий человек в здании, где находился Херли, - это не Лок.

5:56 p.m.: Либби! Намекает, что она работала на Дхарму. Так что там с Либби? Карлтон: "Мы намерены рассказать историю Либби в этом году, и мы думаем, что вы будете счастливы, когда мы ее закончим". Дэймон: "Не делайте неправильных выводов".

5:57 p.m.: Увидим ли мы вскоре флэшбэки Даниэль? Дэймон: "В этой истории ожидаются очень важные вещи, и они многое прояснят". В этом или в следующем сезоне.

5:58 p.m.: Когда мы увидим премьеру сезона, уже будут написаны 15 или 16 эпизодов. (Постарайтесь не опьянеть от спойлеров!)

6:01 p.m.: Можно я позвоню монстру Церберу? Дэймон говорит...[далее следуют всякие глупости] Карта на стене >> CV = Выход на Цербера. Может быть, название Дхармы для него. Это лишь одно из его имен. Дэймон: "Аарон, могу я звать тебя Цербером?" Аарон-Цербер: Монстр как бы выносит приговор, вершит суд. Почему Эко должен был умереть? Дэймон: Все, что касается монстра, определенно будет раскрыто.

6:04 p.m.: Больше нет вопросов. Дэймон, Карлтон и Перрино дружно обнимаются.

6:05 p.m.: Съемки начнутся через 4 недели.

6:06 p.m.: Дэймон: "Это главное событие года…Мы делаем этот сериал для вас и вместе с вами".

6:07 p.m.: Далее идет видео. На экране Мартин Кэндл (Martin Candle), которому уже наложили грим. Кролик! Это о кроликах! Кролик #15 какой-то особенный. Марвин = Доктор Эдгар Халифакс, станция 6 – «Орхидея». Не для зоологических исследований. Извините, если вам так показалось. Влияние Kasamir (Капелька: не знаю, что это), уникальная собственность Острова. Подсознательное послание Джейкоба. Множество кроликов. Серьезно. Слышен сигнал тревоги. Перевернутый велосипед. Пленка сходит с катушки.

Comic-Con 2007 - Spoiler Summary

Thanks to all our bloggers who attended last nights Lost Panel at Comic-Con and who bought us all the live updates. I will try to make a summary of all the spoilers from last night.

- Event starts off with a clip with Michael Emerson calling the Others a "Rebel Sect"
- Also on the clip show "By the time you see this I will be dead," says M.C. Gainey).
- Voice-over: "The survival of the Island is now at stake."
- Footage of the Lost game is shown (You can see this in the DarkUFO Home page)
- Carlton says Rachel probably won't be on the Island.
- Damon says the benefits of only doing 16 episodes (versus 22) a year is they can do more ancillary "awesome" stuff.
- Damon and Carlton say don't get too attached to Richard Alpert, because Nestor Carbonell's on CBS' Cane.
- They're writing episode one, but it's still untitled
Shooting starts in four weeks.


Q&A Section

Q) Wants to know about season three's violent turn and that the powers that be to promise that the Others aren't the good guys.
No promises are forthcoming.

Carlton says they wanted a showdown, and that involved a body count.
Damon says our guys are more violent but prettier. "When Sawyer is punching you in the face, you're like, More please, you're so attractive, can you take your shirt off please?" But when Friendly does it, it's relentless violence. Says Damon, "If the violence stays intense, it will at least be perpetrated by catastrophically good-looking people."

Q) Where's Michael?
They announce here that Harold is returning as Michael Dawson, but they tell the questioner they're not talking about how or when he returns.

Q) Re: Flashbacks
Carlton says flashbacks and flashforwards are both on the show going forward. "How far forward" and "with whom" are the Q's.

Q) Will Jack and Claire find out they are related?
Carlton rings the bell on Damon, but Damon nods furiously. The crowd goes wild.

Q) Did Ben get caught by Rousseau on purpose? Did Ben kill the real Henry Gale?
Damon says he will answer one of those questions. The asker chooses the capture question. Carlton: "He got caught by accident." Damon volunteers this, regarding Ben vs. Henry Gale: "They had words."

Flashbacks/Flashforwards
They were running out of plausible flashback material, so it was time to switch gears into flashfowards. The end date allowed them the certainty necessary to add that element into the show without further antagonizing fans. Carlton: "What you saw with Kate and Jack was not the end of the show." Damon: "The show has never really been about getting off the Island...There's this whole chapter of the story that takes place off the Island." Outstanding!

Michael
Carlton, regarding poor crazy Michael, "He took some extreme actions." Michael's story is about the power of the Island to be redemptive. And this won't be a quick pop by Redemption Island; Harold is a series regular. Michael returns early in the fourth season, or so says Damon.

Q) "What questions are fans not asking that we ought to be?"
Carlton: "Who's in the coffin?" and rings the bell on himself. D.L. and C.C. ask Harold, "Who do you think is in the coffin?" Harold thinks it's the person with the teenage son...probably Locke! Damon would ask, "Who's on that freighter out there, and what do they want out of the Island?" Carlton would ask, "Okay, Kate and Jack got off the Island? Did anybody else get off the Island?"

Q) Will we get back to Libby and was she part of Dharma
Carlton: "It is our intention to get to Libby's story this year, and we think you will be happy when we finish that." Damon: "You're not barking up the wrong tree."

Q_ Will there be a Danielle flashback soon?
Damon: "There are important things going on in that story, and they have to sync up." They'll do that syncing in this season or next.

Q) A fan named Aaron asks, "Can I call the monster Cerberus?"
Damon says...On the blast-door map, C.V. stood for Cerberus Vents. "That's Dharma's name for it, maybe. Cerberus is one of it's names." Damon: "Aaron, may I call you Cerberus?" Aaron-Cerberus: The monster seems kind of seems like it represents judgment. Why did Eko have to die? Damon: The whole deal with the monster will be definitely answered. Carlton: The monster answer is "not going to be 10 seconds of blank tape."

Dharma Film
The Comic-Con exclusive clip was "discovered" in "Narvik, Norway."

The promised clip is one of the station orientation films, hosted by Marvin Candle under an alias. The footage begins with him getting his makeup done and smoothing down his Dharma labcoat. Bunnies! It's about bunnies! Bunny #15, to be specific. Marvin, who calls himself Dr. Edgar Halifax in this film, identifies it as station six, the Orchid. He says the viewer has probably realized by now that he or she is not working at a mere botanical research unit. He apologizes for making him or her lie to friends and family members about the nature of the work. He mentions something that sounds like "Kasimir effect" and mentions the "unique properties of the Island." Then there's one of Jacob's subliminal messages. It may have been some variation on "as Jacob loves you." Then there's a bunny riot. One of the station's alarms blares, Dr. Halifax/Marvin panics. There's an intercut clip of someone riding a bicycle. The clip is inserted upside-down, and the rider appears to be in the village green of Otherville...And then, amid the chaos (perhaps this is the Incident?), the filmstrip slides off the reel.
(Film Description thanks to E!Online)

Two new characters begin in eps. 2, possibly extending the rest of the season, and perhaps next season. Russell, a brilliant mathematician in his late 30's and Charlotte, an attractive, athletic academic. Names may change of course.

As we know, LOST has always been on the top of the lists of shows with a great WTF Factor and we are even in the middle of running the Biggest WTF Moment of Season 3 polls....so when my source mentioned that S4 will bring more WTF Factor than ever...!!

You could say I was just a bit excited...!!

My source has learned that early in the season (first few episodes) that there will be a big WTF "game-changer" that will have all of us fans shaking our heads once again. They also confirmed that it is a "good" game-changer....sooo who knows what that could really mean....??

The other piece of information I got was something that has become common on LOST and something I hate hearing about at all....the death of a Major (main) character....

Now we all know nothing has even been filmed yet and the writers are still writing the first few episodes....

So please please take this info with a decent amount salt....and honestly I would NOT even post this potential spoiler if this info was not coming from this particular source....so right now it could totally mean nothing...but apparently the producers are throwing around some names as possible major candidates for death...

The two characters that have been tossed around by the producers are everyone's beloved Hurley and the ladies favorite Sawyer.....

Yes when I heard this rumor from my source I was quite shocked and confused, but they seemed like it was a definite possibility to occur during Season 4....

However, when I questioned them on the validity of the spoiler....they gave the possibility of this death at mid-season a 6 out of 10...

So...whoa. Now you've seen it. (And if you haven't, you shouldn't be reading this!) Lost's mind-blowing season ender in which the rattlesnake popped out of the mailbox, the series turned upside-freaking-down and the producers bitchslapped us into a whole new off-the-island era.

Holy. Freaking. Wow. Could that just have been the best episode ever of the entire series? I, for one, have never been more into Lost than as of this moment (a terrifying thought) and loved every single nanosecond of it.

Kate and Jack got off the island, but leaving was a "mistake." Say whaaaa...?! Jack desperately wants to go back. Say double whaaaa...?! Kate lives in the 310 (LA's West side) and drives a Volvo? Bonkers!! And we have to wait till February to find out what happens next? Well, that's just cruel.

Thankfully, in an attempt to quell our postfinale jonesing for answers (I'm shaking like Jack in the pharmacy), my favorite TV mastermind to date (don't tell Trump) took time out of his busy schedule to tackle some of the fans' biggest Q's in a round of False, True or Hell No, I Won't Tell You and, more importantly, give the official word on why he killed Charlie.

But first, the reason this interview will prove to be a very rare thing in the coming months, as the Lost bosses enter what they're calling "complete and utter radio silence"...

Damon, first, I want you to know that last week, I hated me. I hated people who do what I do, because it honestly broke my heart that the huge "flash forward" twist of the finale was spoiled on a Website. I know you were trying extremely hard to protect that.
It was unfortunate. I think there will always be people who want to turn to the last page of the book, but I feel that those people are almost universally disappointed with what they read there, because if it's cool, they don't understand the context, and if it sucks, they feel like they've saved themselves time. But no one skips to the end of life. You have to live it, and it's just disappointing to me that people don't respect the integrity of the show enough to let it unfold naturally. There is a fine line between intriguing the audience with what's to come and giving them the whole shebang. And I feel the line was crossed with the finale this year, and it's really disappointing. Which is why, if we're going to talk about these things, I would at least like to come to you, because I know you'll handle it responsibly and not cross that line.

How are you dealing with the Spoilergate aftermath?
Well, with regard to season four, Carlton and I are going into complete and utter radio silence. I know a lot of people are going to be frustrated, but I think if things had gone a little differently in terms of the finale getting spoiled, we might have been a little more open to talking about it. But now we're all bitter. [Laughs.] No, honestly, the reason for the silence is we don’t want to tell the audience what to think about where the show is going to be next year. The way the finale concluded and what happens next is open to interpretation. I think it had a real imaginative quality to it that hopefully engaged the audience's imagination the way the show did when they first saw the pilot.

Does that mean you’re not going to answer all my probing questions about the fate of our Losties now?
You can ask, but I can’t guarantee anything.

Fair enough. How about a harmless little game of False, True or Hell No, I Won't Tell You?
Let’s do it...

Lost returns in February.
True.

Lost stays on Wednesday nights.
Is there an I Don't Know category?

The finale's twist, the flash forward, is something that you'd planned all along, from the very beginning.
Oh, absolutely.

The show will flash forward and flash back from this point onward.
Hell no, I won't tell you.

You are shooting in Hawaii next season.
Yes. Mostly.

Kate is pregnant.
Hell no, I won't tell you.

The role of Jacob has been cast.
False.

False? Okay, interesting. People were having all sorts of interpretations of what he looked like.
You do see a guy, but...I'm still sticking to my false.

The monster can reanimate the dead.
Hell no, I won't tell you.

The Others are in danger of extinction.
True.

The island's mysteries can be explained strictly by science.
Strictly by science?

Strictly.
Hell no, I won't tell you.

The love triangle will eventually be resolved in an unambiguous manner.
True.

Michael is still out in the ocean somewhere.
Hell no, I won't tell you.

Tom is gay.
I'll leave that open to interpretation.

Ben is a good father.
True. [Laughs] These are just my opinions, by the way.

Alex is actually Ben's biological daughter.
False.

The big set for season four is called the Ruins.
False.

You're a bastard for killing Charlie.
True.

Can we talk about that? 'Cause we fans need to know why you did it.
Yes, of course. Dominic, Carlton and I, and all the writers, really felt that when Charlie threw his Virgin Mary statues into the water last year, that was the end of his addiction arc. We weren't interested in revisiting it and having him bounce between being drunk and being sober, so we began to really struggle with the idea of what was Charlie to play now. How was he going to evolve as a character?

At the very same time, we were starting to think about what the effect of the second season finale was going to be, with Desmond turning the fail-safe key. And we didn't want to kill off Desmond, but because this fail-safe key existed as sort of a last resort, we wanted there to be really severe ramifications for Desmond turning it. We didn't want him to get a free pass. And we felt that it would be cool if it involved time travel in some way. But instead of doing sort of a traditional time travel and creating paradoxes and all that stuff, we just did [the episode] "Flashes Before Your Eyes." When that experience ended, we wanted him to be able to see the future, and we thought it would be cool if [his visions] always kind of related to Charlie and Charlie’s death, as opposed to seeing 50 different things. That way, he would struggle all season with the idea of whether or not Charlie's death was inevitable.

Why Charlie?
We felt that would be a really interesting story for Desmond, but the way it would affect Charlie excited us even more. We thought it would make Charlie enormously heroic. He is a character who I think the audience has really liked, and he has, during the course of the show, demonstrated real heroism. Like when he killed Ethan for example. At the end of season two, we realized that if there was any character on the show who would sacrifice their life so that everyone else could be rescued, that would be Charlie. What we hadn’t decided though, was whether or not Charlie was actually going to die.

So, when did you actually decide to kill him?
Over the course of the year, we began to execute the story, and it was really working. I mean we just loved writing for Charlie. He had this whole new thing to play, and we loved how Dominic was working with Ian [Cusick]. Even with Hurley's more light-hearted story, Charlie's impending death gave it real gravitas. It was just a great storyline, and we were thinking, Is there a way for us to have our cake and eat it too? Can we continue prophesying Charlie's death but not actually have him die, just have him willing to die? But we kind of got to the point—I guess it was during the writing of "The Brig"—where we were all just talking in the writers room and we realized it's a cheat if he lives. It wouldn’t be fair, because we've made such a big story point out of it that Charlie now has to die. If he is going to accept his death, then he has to die. Otherwise, it's like, why did we do this story at all? We can't just let him off the hook. He has to die.

How did you break the news to Dominic?
You know, obviously, we started talking to him before we wrote "Flashes Before Your Eyes," just so he would know what was coming. We told him that as soon as we knew definitively what Charlie's fate was going to be, he'd be the first to know. And when we made the final decision, we called him and had a very reasonable conversation. He was completely understanding and appreciative and accepting.

On a personal level, was it a difficult decision letting him go?
Enormously. When you reflect back on the pilot, it was really Jack, Kate and Charlie's story. They're the three people you experience the crash with. They're the original sort of three amigos who go tromping out into the jungle. I think Dominic is, along with Jorge, really the heart of the show. And the idea of how would the show feel with Charlie not being in it anymore, that was a very dark tunnel to be looking down and it continues to be. But I think the reality is, after 72 hours of Lost, we have the idea of communicating to the audience that it's not just the Shannons and Boones and Paulos and Ekos and Ana Lucias who are vulnerable. Everybody is vulnerable. Not everybody's going to make it to the end of this journey. I think that was an important story point to make.

Are you expecting a fan backlash over this?
I hope so. I mean that honestly. I think that if people are like "we're glad you did it," that means we didn't do a good job of emotionally bonding the audience to Charlie and making them feel like his sacrifice is really tragic and heartbreaking. But Dom's work has been phenomenal, and in the last two episodes, he raised the bar even higher. And that's not just a producer trying to be generous to an actor who has now left the show. I think the proof is in the proverbial pudding. I really hope that all summer long, I am derided by people for doing this, because it'll mean that it meant something.

You heard what the man said, so comment away below. And also tell me how you think it's possible we're going to wait till February to see what happens next! Who wants to hibernate?
