After season 2, Carlton Cuse told us that
Walt’s sudden growth would be explained in Season 3.
So now that season 3 is over, we must know… right?

  Consider the following!

  We saw Jack and Kate post rescue in LA and
things are very bad for Jack.

  In season 1, Walt told Locke not to open
the hatch. Now, of course, we know that opening the hatch led ultimately to John
Locke destroying the computer which forced Desmond to turn the
failsafe key. Using the failsafe may have interfered with the ability
to return to the island (according to Ben). Now, after the season 3
finale, we know that the Looking Glass station prevented transmissions
from leaving the island. The radio tower also interfered with
Naomi’s satellite phone. Now, the island is vulnerable and if Ben
is correct, very bad things will happen. Considering Jack’s
condition in the future, we can assume that it will be very very
bad. So Walt’s early advice was good after all.

  After Walt’s kidnapping, he is seen twice as an
apparition. In both cases, he speaks warnings in reverse -
Press the button! Don’t press the button – bad! and
They’re coming and they’re close! Could the reverse speech
be due to a problem sending information to the past?

  Finally, when Walt appears to Locke in season 3, he
warns him not to shoot himself. Then he tells him that he has work
to do. Locke responds by killing Naomi before she can send a
message to her people. He later attempts to prevent Jack from
communicating with Naomi’s people. Since Walt appears much older
and the writers promised an explanation, we can assume that he
is speaking from the future where he is older – possibly the future (or
alternate future) seen during the last few minutes of the season 3 finale.

The low camera angle makes him appear even taller

  There lies in the Ocean an island which is called
The Lost. In Charm and all kinds of fertility it far surpasses
every other land, but it is unknown to men. Now and again it may
be found by chance; but if one seeks it, it cannot be found,
and therefore it is called The Lost.

Honorius of Autun, De Imagine Mundi, about AD 1130

  Apparently, the story of LOST has been quite a long
time in the making, since Honorius of Autun was a 12th century Catholic
priest. I stumbled on the quote while relaxing on the patio reading
a book called Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization
by Graham Hancock. When I couldn’t find the quote indexed on Google,
I quickly posted it as a footer quote on LOST.com. It has been there
since June of 2005.

  The scene of Jack at home with the maps and
Oceanic tickets strewn across the room was very emotional and communicated
all too well the sting of loss. Here he is, after being fortunate enough
to have actually stumbled on the island (The Lost) by chance, discovering
that he cannot return.

I knew that Maggie Grace was going to be in a movie
called ‘Taken’ with Liam Neeson, but when I saw her at the LOST
Weekend Fan Party, all I could think to say was ‘I liked the funny
Nobody’s Watching LOST YouTube video that you did.’
She nearly fell over backwards! Anyway, she is one of many LOST stars to be appearing on the big screen
in the near future. Here is a partial list – please send an email if you know
of any other upcoming movies with LOST actors!

In the movie Taken, Maggie Grace plays the daughter of an ex-spy played by Liam Neeson.
When she is kidnapped and sold as a slave, big trouble ensues.

Nestor Carbonell, who plays the mysterious Richard Alpert, will appear
in the new Batman movie: The Dark Knight.
Carbonell will play the part of the mayor of Gotham City.

Evangeline Lilly will appear in the supernatural thriller Afterwards, which is now in production.
Non-LOST actor John Malkovich will also appear in the movie.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje will be the voice of the town crier in the
animated feature Horton Hears a Who (now filming). He is also in talks to be heard
(and seen) in the upcoming 2008 horror movie Survive.

Naveen Andrews will be in the 2007 movie The Brave One with Jodie Foster.

This next one sounds very promising! Matthew Fox will play ‘Racer x’ in the
new 2008 Wachowski Brothers feature film Speed Racer.
Of course, I’ll be watching since Speed Racer’s car bears an uncanny resemblance to my very
own Mitsubishi LOSTmobile.

Michelle Rodriguez will appear in the 2007 movie Battle in Seattle
which is based on the true story of the deranged anarchists protesting the WTO meetings
in Seattle.

The movie Whisper starring
Josh Holloway has already been completed and should be on the big screen sometime this year. Whisper is
yet another supernatural thriller. Holloway is also in talks to play the part of Gambit in an upcoming
X-Men 4 movie.

Dominic Monaghan plays the part of an 18th century gravedigger by the
name of Arthur Blake in a movie called I Sell The Dead.

Yunjin Kim will appear in a movie called Two Sisters that is not a supernatural
thriller! The belly dancing comedy film should reach theaters by 2008. Yunjin Kim – belly dancing!

Look for Cynthia Watros in a family film called Frank.

Matthew Fox will play the part of Racer-X in Speed Racer

When Charlie emerged from the moon pool at the
Looking Glass station only to be confronted by a couple of
agitated (but attractive) women with guns, I couldn’t help but
think of a scene in a Bond movie with a swimming pool and
two female gymnasts who confronted James Bond. The two
gymnasts were known as ‘Bambi’ and ‘Thumper’ and, incredibly,
they were there to protect Jimmy Dean!

Are Charlie’s Bambi and Thumper part of the Others?
They seemed very surprised and didn’t appear to recognize Charlie. Wouldn’t
all of the Others be familiar with everyone from 815? They even have files
on them. They actually seemed a bit fearful as if they had no idea what
to expect. Could they just be isolated from things going on on the island
or might they actually be newcomers who had recently discovered the
underwater facility?

There is a clue in the scene where Naomi is injured and speaks in
Portuguese while Mikhail and Desmond are tending to her. The
translation is «I’m not alone.» Mikhail then tried to cover this up
by telling Desmond that she said «Thank you.» Perhaps, the crew at
the Looking Glass are actually part of Penny Widmore’s expedition to
find Desmond!

Another question now comes to mind. What is Naomi hiding? When she
was so chatty with Charlie at the beginning of the story, why did
she not mention that she was not alone? Will this be revealed on May 23?

I feel like we’re playing a chess game, and in the first six moves, we’ve lost our queen and two bishops, and the audience is saying ‘They are the worst chess players in the world!’
What they don’t realize is that we’re nine moves away from check-mating you.

  Years ago, Matthew Fox was an economics major at Columbia
University with plans to work on Wall Street. Fortunately, for LOST fans,
he took a completely different path after college and yesterday, as
Columbia’s Class Day speaker, he won over his critics who wanted a
Pulitzer Prize winner or a presidential candidate.

  Here is a link to a RealPlayer video of the event.

  Live for your own passion, not the aspirations or expectations others have for you. Trade fear for trust. Allow yourself to find that area either of your excellence or your excitement that motivates you to apply the same focus and energy that got you through Columbia. Whatever that area is, there is value in it simply because it is the area of your passion

- Matthew Fox at Columbia University’s Class Day 2007

  Of course, LOST fans like ourselves always knew he would
do a good job there.

  Something horrible happened on the show tonight…
It appears that Locke is dead. Is he dead? – Jimmy Kimmel

  Is he? I doubt it. In a recent article we learned that
John Locke is really the heart of the show. He was the cripple who could walk. He looked into
the eye of the island and in a quote from the LA Times article, Carlton Cuse made the point
with all the finality he could muster: «The character of John Locke is just the very heart of the show.»

Certainly, coming back from the brink of death while lying in a pile
of corpses would parallel the scene on the beach when he discovered that he could
move his legs.
  

  Remember why Ben shot John Locke – Locke could hear Jacob and
Ben had to question Locke to discover what Jacob had said. Eerily, Jacob asked Locke
to help him and it is unlikely that Locke would be able to do anything for Jacob if he
was indeed dead. Jacob’s communication with Locke means that Locke is a threat to Ben
and without the threat to Ben, the show would be less interesting.

  Evangeline Lilly answered Kimmel saying that she loves working with
Terry O’Quinn (present tense).
