Mr. Monk Meets Mr. Eko

If you're like me, you were very disappointed to see Mr. Eko lose his bout with Smokey McGee in season 3. I had gotten some bad info about A.A.A. (Mr. Eko) that said he left the show because he didn't want to live in Hawaii, which only furthered my disappointment. One, because who wouldn't want to live in Hawaii and two, because I would hope a location would discourage him from being on such a great show. However this is not the case, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje recently told TV Guide that, “It was a very traumatic year.” This was because he lost both of his parents in 2006. He went on to say the he would love to return to Lost for it's final season. “To be able to give that rich character some completion would be nice,” says A.A.A., who will be appearing in the August 7th episode of Monk and the upcoming G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. I for one would love to see Eko make his way back to the Island and with the rise in dead people walking around on the show I would say it's possible. Let's just hope leaving didn't burn any bridges. Read the full TV Guide interview here.

Season of Sawyer

There's no denying that season six of Lost belonged to Sawyer. We saw James Ford come into his element and make a transformation that has long been desired from the character. A lot of times in TV shows a character will push for change but never quite achieve it, no matter how much the audience wants it to happen. Then again Lost is not most shows. And Josh Holloway proved this season that he can be more than the shirtless guy on the Island. Which is why he's on the short list for an Emmy nom.

Recently the Infamous Doc Jenson sat down with the season 5 show stealer for a three part video interview:

Part 3

Lost May Pick Back Up The Pace

The Charlie Pace that is. Kristin tells us below that Charlie Pace may make a return visit to season six. Don't get your hopes too high though, because this is just a rumor and even if he does return it'll probably be in the form of one of Hurley's "I see dead people" scenes.
Here's the word from Watch with Kristin:

Cynthia in Ireland: I was so happy to hear about Charlie, Shannon and Claire returning to Lost next season, and then so bummed to find out that nothing except Claire is for sure yet. What's the current status of various dead castmembers returning to Lost? Even though Dominic Monaghan is said to be appearing on another ABC show next season, reportedly Flash Forward, we're just paranoid enough to think it might be a double cross, and that D.M. might actually be heading back to Lost after (or in addition to) whatever else he does on the Alphabet Net. Why do we think this? Because very reliable sources now tell us that there is "mutual interest" (between the Lost PTB and Dominic Monaghan) in bringing about a season-six return visit by Charlie Pace. Look for official developments in the next week or two.

Season 1 Cast Not to Return to Lost

I'm not sure if you've heard the rumors flying around about Season 1 cast members rejoining the show, but they are not true. The rumors said that Charlie would be returning for four episodes, Shannon for eight, and Boone for six and that Claire would return for the whole season. The only truth in that is that Claire will be returning, but we don't know how many episodes she'll be in. Team Darlton told us that earlier this week, that's when the other rumors started spreading. Ausiello, EW's TV expert put these rumors to rest. This from EW:

Question: I'm pretty sure I saw you at the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn last weekend. You're even cuter in person! With that said, can you give me anything on Lost? --Sean
Ausiello: I was hoping I'd have an excuse to run this question, and my prayers were answered last night when this piece of scoop fell in my lap: Contrary to what a loose-lipped agency assistant Twittered yesterday, no deals are in place for any season 1 Lost alums to return for the show's sixth and final season. That said, I can confirm that Team Darlton is checking the availability of several MVPs. My guess: We'll get the official scoop on who's returning at Comic-Con next month.

Matthew Fox Gives Tidbids About Sixth Season

This from Dark UFO:

Well the interview has several little minor spoilers and tidbits about season 6. Nothing too shocking, but still some interesting details. Fox, once again confirmed that he knows the end of the show and this time I got the sense he knows it really well.

Here is a little summary of the tidbits:

1) He knew that that Jack and Locke would have to go head to head quite a bit in Season 6. Now if he is talking about the real Locke or Darth Locke who knows? At least we will get a good dose of Terry O' Quinn.
2) The opening scene in Season 6 will confirm what happened in the Season 5 Finale and that it will be both confusing and surprising at first.
3) About a third of the way through the season both time lines will be "solidified into one time" and there will be one linear time throughout the story on the island with no more flashbacks.
4) When describing the end of the show he uses several different adjectives. He confirms talking to Damon Lindelof many times about it and that each time he does that it is surprising that it is so "moving". Some of the words he uses are Beautiful, Redemptive, Sad and ends with saying it is just Awesome!

Claire's Return & Zombie Theories

This is from EW:

Question: I miss Claire on Lost. Emilie de Ravin is such a great actress. Will she be back for all of next season? --Kelly Ausiello: Yes! After sitting out last season, de Ravin will return as a full-time series regular for Lost's sixth and final season, Team Darlton confirms. "Damon and I are very excited to bring Claire back to the show," says Carlton Cuse, "and even more excited for people to experience just how she will return." And even more exciting that that? Experiencing Doc Jensen's theory on how she'll return. Take it away, DJ: "Any scenario that brings Claire back to Lost must address the mysterious circumstances of her disappearance at the end of Season 4, in which many of us were led to believe that she was as dead -- or rather, undead -- as the Ghost Christian that's been haunting The Island since Season 1. So here's one thought: Juliet changed time in the season finale by detonating Jughead, and Season 6 will tell the story of the new timeline, one in which Claire is alive. Another thought: In light of the revelation that John Locke was actually a supernatural impostor for half of Season 5, perhaps in Season 6, we'll get a storyline in which Claire just emerges out of the jungle, with no memory of what happened to her -- just like Season 1 -- and we and the castaways will be left to wonder: Is this the real Claire or another impostor infiltrating them a la Locke? Heck, maybe that's going to be major idea of next season: Who's really alive and who's really (un)dead? It really will be the fabled! zombie season of Lost!" Thanks a million, Doc!


Well I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with crazy Zombie Theories!

Team Darlton Need Attention

I guess that being out of the spotlight for a minute was driving Team Darlton crazy, because yesterday out of nowhere they decided to trow a tidbit at us. It's nothing, it's really less than nothing, but these nothings are how we get through the off season.

This from sundaymercury:

Lost masterminds Carlton Cuse and Damen Lindelof dop hints about how ABC hit drama will end

Jun 2 2009

Lost masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have been dropping hints about how the show will end next spring.

Among the mysteries unravelled in the very last episode will be the significance of the four-toed statue, what the Smoke Monster really is and who the skeletons in the cave were.

(We reckon Egyptian fertility goddess Taweret, conscience and Penny & Desmond respectively, for what it's worth!)

Says Cuse: "The end of the show will be a combination of trying to answer mysteries the audience still cares about, such as the statue and the Smoke Monster.

"We'll also be answering the skeletons in the cave question. We will answer the questions we feel are important and central to the plot.

"At the same time we will be trying to tell redemption stories about the characters. These characters do indeed have a destiny.

I would like to go on record as saying that I think Rose and Bernard are the skeletons in the cave. I can't see how they would have gotten Desmond and Penny to that point, but stranger things have happened. This is Lost.
