"You got a spot of nothing on your chin there."

SPOILER ALERT: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS AND/OR RUMORS FOR THE 5TH SEASON


Filming for the new season started August 17th so as you should expect I have some info to pass on to you.

As some people have guessed I did give a spoiler out already for the new season. A few posts ago was titled Because You Left which is the title of the first episode of the new season. Because You Left , according to TPTB, deals with several of the Oceanic Six coming to grips with their need to return to the island but on their own terms. If true, this means season five will get right down to it and do away with the issues of Jack 'convincing' Kate to return. In this sense the statement Because You Left deals with not a specific set of circumstances, but multiple character's circumstances.

Daniel Dae Kim spotted in Hawaii spoke briefly about his role in the new season and said that he is back for filming and that he and Matthew Fox were going to be the first to shoot scenes for this upcoming season. He also said that he has been told although he will not be as prominent this season when he does feature it will be at "pivotal points in the story". Could we have a repeat of last seasons premiere with Charlie coming back from the dead?

House the film crew was spotted filming in and around. Could be a new house we have not seen before or is this the outside of Kate's off island house?


Looks like we could get a lot of Richard this season since it is rumored that Nestor Carbonell has signed on for a full season.

Depending on how ABC’s Wednesday and Thursday night lineups do in the fall, we could be seeing LOST back on Wednesday nights. Nothing is confirmed and probably won’t be until at least around Thanksgiving or even later. If it does happen, then premier date for the new season is slated to be February 4th.

At the Sand Diego Comic Con in July TPTB gave the following info:

The whole notion of "flashbacks" and "flash-forwards" will be reinvented, suggesting that upcoming episodes will span multiple time periods and perspectives. "When season five starts, you won't know when or where you are. And the way we tell stories will be different too. Also we have the guy who makes the whooshing sound for us and we would not want to put him out of work."

The nameless extras in the Zodiac boat with Farraday, stranded with the island gone, may be toast, but "things are looking up" for Farraday himself. Faraday's notebook will play a prominent role this season.

We'll finally get Rousseau's back-story, but Darlton cautioned that it would be wrong to call it a "flashback" episode.


Jack's Bronco looks to be in the same place it was for the outside courtroom scenes for Eggtown. Does it not?


More from TPTB:

The island did not travel when the hatch imploded, but something did happen.

Vincent the Dog is fine and will be in season five — and will survive until the end of the show.

The Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle is central to the show, and we'll see more interesting permutations of it over the next two seasons. And Kate will see Sawyer again.

There will be some more Libby info this season (yeah right we’ve all heard this one before!)

Drug plane or a new one on the island?



Looks like we will have to wait until episode 3 to see any Locke or Richard stuff. In the past few days Terry O’Quinn and Nestor Carbonell were seen filming. During the filming Locke was seen high up in a banyan tree, and get this another small plane (similar to the Nigerian drug plane) was seen crashed on the island. Looks like on the plane is a new villain for this season. All of this is still considered rumor I have to remind you but it is also said that Locke gets shot in the thigh. No word on who does the shooting.

The actors that play Sawyer, Juliet, Rose, Bernard, Charlotte and Miles have all been spotted filming scenes, no word on what episode it is for.





The previous picture was taken outside of a Hawaiian hotel. The scene being shot featured Hurley and Sayid seemingly to take place after they leave the mental institute at the end of last season. Check out the pile of boxes on the ground. Somebody taking a plunge a few stories up?




There are a couple props added for this season and they are huge. The LOST producers are looking for two ships, both need to be seaworthy. The main one they wanted was a big black ominous looking ship, but the ship company didn't have anything that was even remotely similar to what they described. However, they booked another ship and it's going to be a chase ship which goes after the big black one. The chase ship is the oldest ship in the marina and it looks like it's from the 1500's. Do you know why they would want boats that looked to be several hundred years old? BLACK ROCK flashback?!?!

One of the biggest stories so far is the return of Michelle Rodriguez. That’s right Ana Lucia is slated to return for the show for at least one episode. Sources say it is for the second episode of the season, this is where it gets interesting since Cheech Marin is also scheduled to be a guest star in the second episode of the new season. Looks like Hurley will be seeing some new ghosts. Or there could be other explanations but I’m leaning towards a Hurley episode for the second episode of the new season.

That's all for now.
