Lost
News (Page 3)

Sadly, we're still months away from the season six premiere of Lost.

But it's never too early to speculate on rumors, spoilers - and episode titles!

As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, the title of the first episode of Lost's final season will "LA X."

What could this mean? There are many theories:

• LAX is the airport code for Los Angeles International Airport. It might simply be featured in the premiere;
• A hydrogen bomb was exploded to conclude season five. Might it have wiped out Los Angeles?
• "X" is the roman numeral for 10. Could the premiere simply pick up, in Los Angeles, in the present day (2010)?

We have awhile before we know for sure. But send in your best guesses today!

Charlie. Claire. Boone. Faraday.

A handful of characters will return for the sixth and final season of Lost. But there's one name we never expected to find on that list: Mr. Eko.

After all, reports from season two of the show indicated that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje pretty much voted himself off the island back in the day.

But in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor said "fans of Eko should have hope [for a return."

He said he “loved playing that character,” adding:

“I’m here for them. Adewale is open for business. We have had talks about some things they might do for the final season and there are other dead folks coming back allegedly, but at the moment it is still a maybe. A strong maybe, but I have not shot anything yet or signed any contracts. But I’m hoping.”

Our best guess: keep hoping, Adewale. It's hard to envision a scenario in which Eko returns to Lost.

He may have a vital role on The Vampire Diaries, but Ian Somerhalder is returning to Lost next year.

The actor has already confirmed his eventual appearance on season six of the ABC hit, though he's the first to admit that he has no idea what Boone will be up to.

But Somerhalder told E! News that he has his own hopes for the character. To wit:

"I would like to see him find his power. I think there was always solidarity there. Boone was a pretty successful guy who [was] in his own world and had created a certain amount of responsibility that he had. I think there was power in that, and when they took him out of his element, I think he lost his power, and we never got to see him come into fruition, by virtue of his untimely death."

It's no secret that Lost is bringing back a number of characters for its final season.

It's also been announced that Dominic Monaghan will be a series regular on ABC's FlashForward this fall.

So, does this mean that his Lost character of Charlie is not included among the returning individuals? No. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Sources have confirmed to E! News that Charlie Pace will, indeed, appear on season six of everyone's favorite island-based drama. He'll return for three episodes.

Does this mean Charlie is alive? A ghost? You'll need to tune in and find out.

It's one of the most pressing questions on the minds of Lost fans everywhere:

Why the heck doesn't Richard Alpert age?

Nestor Carbonell, the actor that plays this mysterious character, wonders the same thing. He, along with viewers, will find out next season, as Carbonell has been made a series regular. 

"I'm moving my whole family to Hawaii next week," he told TV Guide Magazine. "This whole time I've been flying back and forth, but now I'll be living on the island with the others. They tell me I'll be in 16 of the 18 episodes."

Meanwhile, executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof confirm that Alpert's backstory will take a long time to reveal. Said Carbonell:

"Obviously Richard doesn't age, so I'm most curious to know how old he is and if he's in fact pulling the strings."

Instead of bouncing around the space-time continuum on Lost this fall, the lovely Elizabeth Mitchell is fighting reptilian aliens on a remake of the '80s miniseries V.

However, that doesn't mean Juliet doesn't make at least an appearance in the sixth and final season of Lost. Here are excerpts of E! Online's Q&A with the star ...

Q: When I read the pilot, I absolutely called that the part of Erica Evans was written for you, despite the reports that you were just a guest star on the series.

A: They actually said that it kind of was, but they didn't think I was going to be able to do it. I love the idea that it was so different from Juliet.

We have someone who's got a lot more hope this time, a lot more excitement.

Q: For who don't know too much about V, can you discuss your character?

A: Erica is a federal agent doing counterterrorism. She deals with finding sleeper cells and basically eradicating them as much as possible. She's smart and intelligent and all the things that you would want someone who is protecting our country to be. I must have a hero complex. I keep gravitating toward these roles. She has a son, and she's in love with her son, and her son is in love with the Visitors. She has to deal with the fact that she has to save him for the most part. Her husband just left her, so she's a brokenhearted counterterrorist detective.

Q: When it comes down to it, what's more important, protecting your son or protecting the world?

A: I think it's going to come down to both being the same thing. I think her son is becoming a huge example of what is going wrong, of the fact that this is becoming insidious, that these people are like toxins seeping into our groundwater. They're going to be everywhere. I think it's a little bit terrifying. She's actively trying to do something about it, and it's like the smallest person you can imagine against an army of millions. I like those odds. I think they make for good drama.

The sixth and final season of Lost may center around an entirely new timeline, but it will also return to its past in at least a couple of ways.

First, Elizabeth Mitchell has confirmed that she'll reprise her role as Juliet, despite the fact that her character was inches away from an exploded hydrogen bomb in May's finale and despite the fact that the actress is starring in a new series, V.

"[I'll appear] pretty immediately, and then I'm not sure after that," Mitchell told E! News this week about Juliet's role next year. "I think it will be satisfactory."

Meanwhile, Josh Holloway says his character's state of mind, following the events of the season five finale, will hearken back to the former, bitter Sawyer.

"I think he's pretty destroyed. All of that growth got ripped away. I think he's gonna be a bit salty again, which I'm looking forward to. All I know is that he's destroyed and has given up on life again and on having any positive lessons. So watch out!"

We surely will. Lost returns to the air in January 2010.

As expected, the Lost panel was as popular as any other show or movie at last week's Comic-Con festival in San Diego.

The cast and crew members in attendance didn't disappoint, either, offering up key clues and hints about what's to come on season six. Let's get right to it!

• Juliet and Faraday will play roles  in season six.
• There will be significant backstory on Richard Alpert; the actor that plays him, Nestor Carbonel (pictured)l, has been promoted to series regular.
• Producer Carlton Cuse said the flashbacks in season six would take a "different approach."
• Cast and crew guaranteed a season that will somewhat resemble season one, in terms of jungle adventure, emotional resonance, and a sense of discovery. 
• In response to a fan question about Jacob, producers said the character has never taken on the form of another person.

Meanwhile, as part of The Vampire Diaries panel, Ian Somerhalder stammered when asked about a return to Lost, but the following words did leave his lips:

I am going to be coming back.

He appeared on screen for a total of one minute and 45 seconds.

But Titus Welliver made a lasting impression on Lost fans during May's fifth season finale.

The actor waxed poetic on the condition of human beings ("They come. Fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same."), inhabited John Locke's body and killed Jacob.

Now, in an interview with TV Guide, Welliver speaks on his unnamed character. Here are a few excerpts:

On his character's lack of a name: "He has no name. He's just "the man," because they don't want to give anything away. I know that this character has a name and I know the importance of it; that's all that I know"

On good vs. evil on Lost: "The way that I interpreted it, on a biblical level, is that it's a sort of Cain-and-Abel scenario. So by destroying Jacob, what does that prove — that [the man in black] can ultimately have power over the island? Do the castaways become solely his playthings? And why was it so important that he find the loophole to be able to kill Jacob? That moved me in the direction of thinking that if he needs this loophole, there's a greater power than the two of them that they're answering to."

What's coming up on season six of Lost? According to executive producer Cuse and Lindelof: anything!

The pair didn't reveal much whole giving a few interviews in England last week as part of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts festival.

But when asked about the possible re-appearance of characters such as Boone, Shannon and Charlie, Lindelof said they do hope to give certain individuals a"curtain call."

Of course, as Entertainment Weekly properly asks: How might Lost accomplish this creative feat, considered the deceased status of those characters?

Simply put, Lindelof said, when it comes to season six, "anything goes."
