Revelation

The countdown has finally begun. No, not the countdown until I go to Disney. Did I tell you I was going to Disney? Well I am, so you can start being jealous now! Oh, but I kid! Back to what I am really here for. Season 4. The new season of Lost is less than two months away. Remember back in May when we all thought it would take forever to get here, well, it's nearly here. With the new season well on it's way (at least 8 episodes in the can as of this writing and that might be all we get with the writers strike!) there are some new rumors/spoilers. Hard to tell if they are one or the other. The moving to Monday night rumor proved to be wrong. Hey, I'll tell you when the rumors are wrong just like when I find out the spoilers are wrong. First, if you have not seen any of the Mobisodes, I suggest you go do a Google search for them. I'll give you a brief description of them and then you can see if you want to go see them. As of right now there are five clips. The clips are short scenes that fill in pieces of some of the story lines. The first clip is Jack and his father right before Jack gets married. The second one is Hurley and Frogurt (another nameless Lostie) talking about Libby, the ironic part of this clip is it happens right before Libby is shot by Michael. The third one is Jack and Ben playing chess before Jack is scheduled to leave the island on the sub (one of the better ones IMO). The fourth clip is Juliette talking to Michael before the Others send him back to the Losties camp with the list. The fifth one is Juliette (right after she gets to the Losties camp) telling Jack about her deal with Ben and that she is still working for Ben and her telling Jack she has changed her mind. They don't really answer any questions but they are a nice little bit of Lost to hold you over and they do fit in nicely with what has already happened in the story arcs. Enjoy the info as well as the new season 4 pics.

Danielle gives Ben some island justice.

Now on to some more rumors and spoilers. Here is some info that is being offered as either spoiler or rumor or possible a little bit of both. The grain of salt is included with all of the tidbits.

Dominic Monaghan (Charlie) & Maggie Grace (Shannon) are in talks to come back for more flashbacks. Also in possible "visions" had by other characters. There is already a clip with Charlie appearing in it during the fourth season floating around the web.

We will get another episode that will detail what DHARMA has been doing on the island long before Ben and his father came to the island.

Two more Losties will die....a male and a female. The male will die on the island, while the female will die in a FLASH FORWARD via suicide. The male death will be a MAIN character that is a fan favorite, plus it will occur on island most likely by mid-season. It will be likely one of the four: Sawyer, Hurley, Sayid or Jin.

Desmond will have a very important storyline in the new season.

In the first episode that Michael returns, he has hit "rock bottom" from the guilt of his actions. Apparently this episode (early in the season) will pick up right after Michael and Walt leave the island. Walt may not be the person we remember him being. (Whatever the hell that is supposed to mean!)

The people on the freighter will not seem to be distrustful and we may even like them but they are coming to the island for a reason, rescue is not one of the things on their mind unfortunately.

They are there to find "someone". Who this someone is will be something that plays out during almost the entire fourth season. We will find out more about this in a Ben flashback and another flashback that involves the freighter and the island before Ben was on the island.

Interesting that Locke would be with the beach crew from the end of the third season. My guess is they are meeting up with the group that went to the tower.

Here is a list of possible flashbacks:

Alex, Ben, Sawyer, Desmond, Danielle, Michael, Juliette

The Alex flashback will detail more info about her mother and Ben. Ben's flashback could include more info about the little girl named Annie that we saw in his first flashback, it could also give us more answers about the island. One other thing mentioned to possibly being in his flashback is an explanation of the notebook tube we saw at the Pearl Station. "The Tampa Job" (which Sawyer talks about in one of his previous flashbacks) is a good guess as to what Sawyers' flashback would detail . Questions about Desmond's time in the military and why he was in prison will be answered in a future flashback. As discussed on this blog before, Danielle is an intricate part of the island story. Cuse/Lindelof have mentioned that her flashback will still be a while away but she may pop up in someone else's flashback. We will find out that not everything she has said is the truth. As stated above, Michael's flashback will be about what happens after Walt and he leave the island at the end of season 2. We will find out more about Juliette's mark of shame in her flashback. Oddly enough Juliette's sister is supposed to show up in a flash forward. The odd part is she will not be showing up in a Juliette flash forward but rather in another characters.

Possible Flash forwards:

Jin/Sun, Hurley, Kate, Jack, Sayid

The Jin/Sun flash forward is possibly about their baby's first birthday. Scenes of Jin in a toy shop have been filmed. Also Sun at a funeral. It has also been rumored Jin is either shot or shot at when he leaves the toy store. Jorge Garcia, who plays Hurley, has cut his hair. In a recent interview he said that he had to get it cut "for work". Would make sense that upon getting off the island he would want to cut some of that hair off. Kate's flash forward seems to involve her going to court for her crimes that she committed before crashing on the island. No telling how much time goes by between the flash forwards but this one obviously happens before the one from last seasons finale. Jack was also filmed in some of the scenes with Kate for this flash forward. Some speculation has that his scenes have already been cut from this episode. Not sure why or what that could point towards. A rumor has been going around that Sayid has filmed a flash forward. The episode seems to take place in Germany where he is living with a new girlfriend named Elsa. Apparently in the episode he is very troubled but will not explain to Elsa as to what he is troubled about.

Looks as though Ben begins this season much as he ended last season. Tied up and bloody.

Room 23 (the brain washing room) will be explained a bit by Karl and what effects it has on him.
Claire will find out Jack is her brother. How she finds out and who from is the big question and could be surprising to some.

There is "a game changer" meaning a big turn of events in episode 7.

The crash of flight 815 was covered up and we will find out why and who covered it up. Quite possible a Widmore cover up and that would mean the freighter could be involved if we find out he has something to with the freighter.

We will find out in episode 4 if Kate is or is not pregnant. I'm guessing no, for the record.

Damon Lidelof has said that there will be another heroic Hurley moment in the season 4 premier.

Greg Grunberg, who played the pilot (as well as being on Heroes) will be on the show again. Possibly another revisit to the crash of flight 815.

Much like Ben, Sawyer also begins season 4 like he ended season 3. Hot!

This next one is difficult to explain, but I will try. Sawyer will not be getting off the island. With the arrival of the freighter and the people on it, the Losties will split into two groups. One group will go back to Othersville and one group will stay at the beach. Apparently lines are drawn and the freighter folks will make friends with the ones on the beach. Not sure who will represent the two groups. Possibly Ben and Locke with Losties and Others go back to the cabins and Jack and Kate stay on the beach with the freighter. This would put Sawyer in with Ben and Locke and he will stay on the island. Maybe he knows he is only going back to be arrested for the murder while in Australia. Or maybe the people on the freighter will tell him this.

In a flashback we will see the return of Goodwin, Libby, Mr. Friendly, and Ethan, this is supposed to be episode 6 and is a Juliette flashback. We will see that Libby was working with the Others but not how we think.

One of Michael's scenes will be in New York where he will be confronted by a gun toting Mr. Friendly. Huh? Okay, obviously a flashback, but how? And when is this supposed to happen?

Did Jack still have some Arntz on him?

If you haven't seen it there is a short Lost season 4 trailer being played during select movies this season. The reports are it shows:

Charlie with a very short haircut.
Sawyer pushing Ben up against a tree and pointing a gun to his face.
A cow.
The number 6 faintly superimposed over a picture of the island.
Kate looking at something and crying.

Locke saying "They are not who you think they are.".
Jack shooting a gun.
What looks like Hurley swimming deep under water.
A large explosion on the island.
There are other things also but it is hard to decipher just what they are as they flash by so quickly. Possibly when it is posted online there will be more info available.

Leslie Arntz will be back in a future mobisode.

Not that this is a spoiler but Lindelof and Cuse said on the new season 3 DVD special features that it was Walt on the computer to Michael and not an Others trick. Of course they also said Walt may not have been sitting at another computer when he was doing it and possibly his "powers" allow him to do something like that.

That's about all for now. I know this info skipped around and was vague in some areas but hey I give it as I get it. As more info develops I will break what we know down into specific episodes. Yes I know what some of the episodes from this coming season are titled so I will still be able to title my blog entries as I continue. I know you were all worried about that but I got it covered Esse!
