The Man From Tallahassee

Well, it has been quite a while since I have mentioned, pondered or otherwise updated on this blog about LOST. Since they have officially begun filming the new season I figured I could give you all something to whet your appetites. Now keep in mind that much of the information I have is still only to be considered "rumour". Some may be facts and as they are proved or disproved, whatever the case may be (ha! good title drop there, and it was unintentional, I swear.) I will update as soon as possible. Now here is some of the dirt that has been going around:
Ms. Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan) will be back for 2 episodes, this is the woman who Desmond encountered in the antique store when he went to buy Penny an engagement ring. Looks like Desmond will be getting a flash back (forward?) or two this season.

Jeff Fahey may or may not be Jacob. As of right now he is listed as playing a character named Frank Lapidus. Perhaps he will later change his name to Jacob, or the name is only a red herring to put us off the trail for now. Remember the producers as well as ABC bigwigs want as much of the spoiling to stop as possible so expect a lot of swerves from TPTB (The Powers That Be).

Christmas will be celebrated on the island during a Hurley or Sawyer Centric Story. If the calculations are correct, the last day we saw on the island would make it on or near Christmas Eve. Josh Holloway as well as Jorge Garcia have been spotted filming flashback (forward?) episodes so far. If they are doing a Christmas episode it would make sense for it to be in one of the first few episodes.

Libby was with Dharma but there is a twist. (Isn't there always?)

Marvin Candle has something to do with Rousseau's flashbacks but he wont be shown in it

Rousseau will pop up in another character's flashback making another big connection

"Redemption" will be the key theme in the flashbacks (Sawyer,Micheal,Locke,Desmond for example)


Minkowski (the guy who's supposedly off shore on some boat) has been cast and will show up on the first or second episode.

The Christian Shephard Dead or Alive debate will be put to rest in the earlier episodes

Lost will be moving to Monday night. Not sure what time it will start hopefully 8 or 9 and not 10, that was awful.

The filming was scheduled to begin filming around August 15, due to the hurricane that hit Hawaii, filming was delayed nearly a week. Matthew Fox was in Germany finishing up filming Speed Racer. According to Foxxy, the producers are shooting episodes out of sequence this year to accommodate his conflicting shooting schedule. He just recently has been spotted in Hawaii (around Sept. 12) filming at the radio tower. If this is true who knows what episodes the Hurley or Sawyer ones are that they have already begun shooting. I believe the Sawyer episode is actually completed.

Jeremy Davies to play character called Daniel Faraday.

Mira Furlan (Danielle) and L. Scott Caldwell (Rose) have also recently been spotted in Hawaii. John Terry, who plays Dr. Christian Shephard, has also been seen at a Starbucks on the Island.

According to syndicated writers Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith the series' forthcoming episodes "are going to be scarier" than any seen on the island so far. That's the word from Emmy-nominated "Lost" actor Michael Emerson -- and that's saying something, considering Emerson's character seemed to personify evil last season.




According to TPTB What's coming to the island (meaning the people on the boat) is worse than The Others. Getting off the Island is not the end of the series. There's a whole chapter of the story that takes place off the Island.

Well, that's about all I have for now. We will see what the future holds. Still have almost a 5 month wait.
