"Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse rehash "Meet Kevin Johnson".
Rehash of "Meet Kevin Johnson"
- The Oceanic Six are Jack, Kate, Sayid, Hurley, Sun and Aaron. ABC did the producers' job by confirming it in the promo after the episode.
- They say that they have long alluded to the fact that there was a gay character on Lost. Tom's comment to Kate in "A Tale of Two Cities" alluded to it, but it wasn't settled back then. They say that Mr. Friendly being gay is cool because he is played by M.C. Gainey and they love having him back on the show.
Questions
- Minkowski and Desmond have experienced side effects from leaving and coming to the island, but none of the Oceanic 815 survivors had the same side effects. Also when Desmond took off with the sailboat, shouldn't he have got the illness back then. Does the illness only happen when coming and leaving the island or did the Swan station protect the comings and goings, but not now since it imploded.
- The producers say they have an explanation, but don't want to reveal it in detail. The difference is if you're inside or outside the realm. The freighter is outside the realm right now. Desmond perhaps never sailed outside the realm of the island. He didn't even have a bearing and the bearing is very specific. Michael got a specific bearing to follow and so did Frank. Desmond also experienced a lot of electromagnetic energy when he turned the failsafe-key which will make him more susceptible to certain effects.
- What's up with Miles? He's been sitting in that cabin with that grenade in his mouth for four days. Is it even possible for a man to bite down on a grenade for four days straight? Is the grenade still in his mouth or did Locke take it out.
- They say that since the viewers had seen "Meet Kevin Johnson" they know that Miles is perfectly fine.
- Are we going to see what happened to the hatch immediately after Desmond turned the failsafe-key? It's been bugging me that Locke, Eko and Desmond just landed outside the hatch. Also, is the electric storm that caused Desmond to time-travel temporarily or is it always there?
- The Swan implosion will probably not be revisited. However, we haven't seen the last of the "purple sky" event and they have another electromagnetic event coming this year.
- Comments on monster forms whether they are humans, apparitions, animals, dead etc.
- Ben's mother Emily = Apparition
- Sawyer's wild boar = Animal
- Medusa Spider = Monster
- Hurley bird = No comment
- Dave = Apparition/figment of imagination
- Yemi = Monster
- Mikhail's cat Nadia = animal and coincidence
- Walt = Walt the person is human, but there are apparitions of Walt that may be monster related
- Boone in Locke's dream = dream
- Jack = They say he's an apparition and are kidding about it.
- Kate's horse = Undead
- In the episode Exposé Hurley finds a script for Exposè the TV show and under the credits it lists Rick Lapidus is one of the stars. So my question is, is Rick Lapidus a significant part of the Lost mythology or do you guys just like the surname Lapidus? Because it is fun to say Lapidus.
- Eddy Kitsis, one of the writers, is in love with the name Lapidus. He was trying forever to get it in the show. He managed to do it in Exposé because he and Adam Horowitz wrote the episode, but that wasn't enough. He insisted that one of the new characters in season 4 must be named Lapidus.
- Is Aaron in danger since he's raised by Kate and not Claire? In the episode "Raised by Another" Richard Malkin says that Claire must raise the baby herself.
- Richard Malkin did say that in season 1, but in season 2 he said that he collected information and was not a real psychic. So if you believe he is a psychic, then the baby is in danger. If you don't believe that he is a psychic, then the baby is perfectly fine.
- What was the reason for using the alias "Kevin Johnson?" Was it to honor the NBA point guard or do The Others have little knowledge of the NBA?
- If The Others had chosen a literary name Widmore would be suspicious and tie him to someone sent by Benjamin Linus.
- Is Charlotte a cultural anthropologist, an archeologist or both? To relevant questions, will we ever see a flashback of the Black Rock and the Four-toed statue?
- Charlotte is a cultural anthropoligist, but is a closet archeologist even if it's not her degree. You will learn more about the four-toed statue and the Black Rock but not necessarily from a flashback.
Plans for Season 4
- They reveal at the end of the podcast that the code phrase refereing to the secret scene from the Season 4 finale is called "The Frozen Donkey Wheel". The season 4 twist is close to the end, but not the final scene itself.
