The Only Thing You Really Want to Read Today

Dave:

It may be wise to say in your post that there's some very mild, indirect spoilerage. I don't mind it, but some folks might be a little bothered by it. (Things like Ben in a parka, or the explosion in Camp Ben... nothing immensely huge, but they are definitely clues.)

James Poniewozik:

@Dave: I figured that was implicit in the story, involving a set visit and all, but yeah, I'll add it.

"spectacular kiss" that complicates the kate, jack, sawyer love triangle? my guess: Jack and Sawyer finally give into thier long simmering attraction and do the dirty dirty. If thats not it, then i could honestly care less, lol.
I'm really excited for the show to start back up, i think two weeks out might have been too soon a Lost-tease. Now i'm all worked up but i still have to wait...

Chaddogg:

"Spectacular kiss" - has to be Kate and Sawyer, very publicly, in front of Jack. Or else Jack and Juliet, right in front of Kate. Something like that.

"Frozen Donkey Wheel"? Last year's flash forward twist was nicknamed the Snake in the Mailbox, as I recall - something that came out of nowhere, bit you, and changed everything (we were all comfortable with flashbacks, just as you'd be comfortable going to the mailbox, until the snake of flash forwards came out and bit us).

So what does a Frozen Donkey Wheel mean or signify? Imagining a "donkey wheel", I picture a horse-mill, one of those big wheels hooked up to a horse (or donkey) where the donkey walks in a circle and mills something agricultural.

This HAS to do with time, somehow. Any theories? Because I'm befuddled.

I think you laid it all out there Chad, time as it has functioned on the show will stop (or freeze if you will) and the nature of when and where people are will change and maybe the flashes themselves will stop, one of them did say some along the lines of "we may get to a poitn where the word 'flash' may become irrelevant...

For me personally, a spectacular kiss would be between Juliet and Kate. You could throw Sun and Chloe in there too if you wanted. I'm just sayin'.

Dave:

@Chad - I didn't know that Snake in the Mailbox was last year's Flash code (wasn't actually a fan then). Could that mean it's Sayid in the coffin? No one would be around to mourn if Nadia was dead, and he'd be considered a snake if he 2-timed the group and joined Ben. /shrug

The detail that interests me most is Ben in a parka. Does he go to Penny's station? Does he go to the Dharma station where the polar bears are teleported from?

Maybe the Frozen Donkey Wheel is the island itself... it has some important work that it does that it has to do to keep something going, and the frozen part is time freezing. I dunno... I almost want to chew on it for a couple days and read the article again. Maybe have a Lost Season 4 marathon the Saturday before the new episodes start.

Nah, horses, a dusty quarry, and a parka make me think that Ben will be visiting remote chunks of some 'stan (Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.)

And "Frozen Donkey Wheel" is such a bizarre phrase that Chad's explanation makes as much sense as anything. The O6 being rescued and everyone else being interred or killed (such that there is no Island life to flash back from) would certainly count as the gears of the show being gummed up, as it were.

So now the hostile forces are shooting Losties en masse and blowing up Otherville? I still say that seems out of their league for the few Freighter goons we've seen; the apparent counterattack by Smokey would seem enough to put an end to them, not leave them in a position to win control of the Island. I still think we're looking at someone else joining the party by the end of the season.

That multiple years for Claire thing does seem to indicate that she stays alive for a while (until the O6 return in the season 5 finale?).

The thing about declining ratings is interesting though: general viewer apathy from the strike or people tuning out after the producers putting ghosts, time travel, and psychics on the table?

Chaddogg:

It's official: we're getting an EXTRA hour of Lost this season!

The THREE-hour Season Finale will air in two parts:

Hour 1 will air on May 15th.
Hours 2&3 will air on May 29th.

And for you Grey's Anatomy fans, you'll be getting a 2 hour finale as well on May 22nd (to fill the hour Lost would have filled, but for it's extra hour).

I love Cuse & Lindelhof for this, but let's give some much deserved love to the network, ABC, for doing the right thing....

Personally I would have preferred the spoiler warning to be before the part of the article that's quoted.
