Lost producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse discuss with press reporters the remaining episodes and Lost’s future in this teleconference sponsored by ABC.

The conference, in a nutshell:

• Season 5 has a late January 2009 target. The timeslot is still undetermined and my depend on how the remaining episodes work, back to back against Grey’s Anatomy.
• Expect a lot of time shifting between the past, present and future, depending on the point of view of the story being told. “Flash” should become irrelevant to the program.
• Season 4’s finale has been written. It is done.
• The fate of the Oceanic 6 will be clearer. The fate of some of those who remain in the island will not.
• Lindelof and Carlton doesn’t want to confirm if someone is dying this time: “If we basically were to tease that there was going to be a death, sort of like when Shannon died, it kind of lead everybody to chase it down and spoil it. On the other hand, if we were to say that everyone is safe, that would kind of really ruin the dramatic impact of the finale. So we’re excited about what’s happening. There are definitely some very large and seismic events that will happen to our castaways between now and the end of the season. By the end of the season, some people’s fates will be clear and others will not be so clear.”
• People have always said she’s a useless character but Claire will have some poignant scenes in the last four episodes of Season 4.
• We will get an explanation to what the four-toed statue actually means and we will see more of Jacob and the Black Smoke.
• May 1 is when we’ll revisit the Jack/Juliet story.

So what do you think is happening on April 24? I know it’s still at least three weeks away but ABC already has an official description as well as promo pictures released.

The official description only has one line, but even so…it’s saying a lot: “Locke’s camp comes under attack and Jack tries to discover the identity of a body that has washed ashore.”

The photo of Ben and Locke (above) shows their team preparing for the attack. Does this mean the Freighter people are already in the island? Remember, the captain said Frank Lapidus was sent on an “errand” in the last episode. Or are these the people who also shot Danielle and Karl? Could they be one and the same group, or separate entities? Could the attack be coming from The Others? Have they come to realize it’s time to turn against Ben?

And whose body are they talking about? Charlie’s? Or the Regina’s, who jumped off board from the Freighter?

I found the promo clip of the upcoming episode off YouTube:

According to a spoiler site, Michael Emerson was spotted flying into Heathrow with Yunjin Kim, with director Jack Bender. DarkUFO goes on to speculate, they must be filming the series finale, as Jack Bender’s handy work is usually always behind the series’ edge of your seat endings. The site even has a picture of Michael Emerson in London.

If this is indeed correct and Michael’s visit is related to Lost, who could possibly in London but Charles Widmore?

And why is Yunjin Kim with him? What could Sun be doing in London, too? Is this going to be a flashforward?

Still on spoilers, a Locke centric episode is being filmed in Hawaii as well, and it also involves the appearance of two characters from the past who are actually connected to him (Locke). If you don’t like to read the information, don’t click after the split…

From the pages of Lost Magazine comes this reference from Damon Lindelof saying that two characters will be sharing one spectacular kiss at the end of Season 4.

“Romance is always blooming on and off the island. And just for you, I hereby promise you one of the most spectacular kisses you’ve ever seen on the show in this year’s finale.”

Naturally, everyone’s right there with their guesses.

Is it between Jack and Juliet?
Is it between Kate and Sawyer?
Is it between Jack and Kate?
Is it between Jin and Sun?
Is it between Rose and Bernard?
Is it between Mr. Friendly and his Boytoy?
What about Michael and Sun? Hey, I’m just throwing it out there. I came across a theory about Sun’s baby being Michael’s and while that’s so far out there, I realize that anything can happen in Lost, right?

But who do I really want to share a spectacular kiss? The choice would have to be very obvious — Desmond and Penny! If spectacular was the word they chose to describe the kiss, their scenes in The Constant were exactly that. I can’t think of any other couple coming close to delivering the same impact.I really am expecting Desmond and Penny would finally cross paths and be with each other at the end of Season 4. I would hate to think their meeting would have to drag on till the end of the series in the year 2010.

One thing about the kiss is that it’s supposed to change the course of the remainder of the show, forever. Did I not read somewhere Desmond and Penny would have to play a really significant part in the story of Lost?

What about you, who do you think is the kissing couple?

Lost, Lost spectacular kiss, Lost Season 4

Filming of the remaining episodes to Lost Season 4 is currently underway and the cast and crew have supposedly been to Windward Community College and the Santa Rosa Mental Hospital in Hawaii this week.

The show is currently on a month-long hiatus. It will return on the last week of April with a total of five episodes left.

The SCI-Fi Wire recently talked with the show’s producers and they have particularly emphasized there will be more flash-forwards to expect.

This just seemed like the most interesting way to tell the rest of the story of the show,” Kitsis said. “When we realized that we were only going to do three more seasons, it enabled us to starting thinking a little more out of the box in how we want to tell the remaining story that was left. The flash-forwards are, I think, just a great way to keep the show energized and tell the story in an interesting way. It was a brilliant idea by [executive producer] Damon [Lindelof].”

Also, TV Guide’s latest issue include really juicy details and spoilers of how the writers are going to wrap up the remainder of the season:

• Evidently when it returns, we will actually see who has left the island and who has remained. Speculations on whether or not Aaron is part of the Oceanic 6 should be clearly defined thereafter.
• There may be another episode with Michael. And his “pivotal” role at the end of the season will “impact” all the other characters.
• We will know who is inside the coffin (is it Michael?) as well as find out which group has killed Karl and Danielle.

Lost, Lost Season 4

The eight episode before the month long hiatus of Lost centers on Michael’s character a.k.a. Kevin Johnson. It’s touted as a “non-traditional episode”, whatever that means in Lost’s vocabulary, and a very poignant cliffhanger is expected at the end. We’ll also see a significant character who died in the past season reappear in what is possibly a flashback.

Episode Title: Meet Kevin Johnson
Synopsis: Sayid confronts Ben’s spy on the freighter, and Ben urges daughter Alex to flee Locke’s camp in order to survive an impending attack.
Guest starring are Cynthia Watros as Libby, M.C. Gainey as Mr. Friendly/Tom, Mira Furlan as Danielle Rousseau, Tania Raymonde as Alex, Blake Bashoff as Karl, Marsha Thomason as Naomi Dorrit, Ken Leung as Miles Straume, Jeff Fahey as Frank Lapidus, Kevin Durand as Keamy, Anthony Azizi as Omar, Fisher Stevens as George Minkowski, Grant Bowler as Captain Gault, Jill Kuramoto as female anchor, Galyn Gorg as nurse, Starletta DuPois as mom, William P. Ogilivie as Gus, Francesco Simone as Arturo and James Locke as mechanic.

Incidentally, the Washington Post has an interesting piece on why Losties are also addicted to spoilers.

Now that producers have announced that the series will end in two short years, why can’t we just let ourselves sit back and be entertained? The answer to that lies, partly, in the phenomenon that psychologists and behavioral economists call “dynamic inconsistency” — our brain’s inability to reconcile what we want now with what we will want later.

Or, blame it on the Internet.

The team of Lindelof and Cruise, the people behind the series, has hinted quite a few more information in this interview with UGO.

UGO: What episodes have you guys written so far?CARLTON CUSE: We’re working on 11, 10, and 9 sort of all simultaneously; we’ve got those 3 out of 5 in the works.

UGO: With the new schedule is the finale going to be a one hour episode or will it be two hours?DAMON: We are writing it as a two hour but they want to air it as two different hours because on May 22nd, which is essentially the last day of the season, they have a two hour Grey’s [Anatomy] finale which going to run from 8 to 10, and that is only going to leave an hour for us. It’s going to be designed as all of our finales have been, but not unlike the Lost pilot, which was written a two hours and aired as two separate hours , that is what they are going to do.

This week’s episode is Sun and Jin centric.

I have to say that my favorite flashback in the entire series of Lost always happens to be the story of the Korean couple. From the very beginning, I’ve loved the way their back stories are treated. So, this week’s episode if something I have been excited about, especially with all the rumors going around one of them is going to die and that we’re in for another solid story-telling.

Episode Title: Ji Yeon
Episode Synopsis: Juliet is forced to reveal some startling news to Jin when Sun threatens to move to Locke’s camp. Meanwhile, Sayid and Desmond begin to get an idea of the freighter crew’s mission when they meet the ship’s Captain, on “Lost”.
