The Hollywood Reporter - Buena Vista International Television has licensed 'Lost' in more than 180 international markets, making it the fastest-selling TV series in the company's history.
5/21/05 Damon Lindelof reveals the following:
- We'll get to see a tiny piece of the monster
- We'll get an idea of where the transmission is from
- We'll see lot's of the raft at sea and something shocking will happen
- Danielle will say something important in the third to last scene
- The final half hour is full of hidden references to the lottery numbers
- Not everybody may be coming back next season
We're gonna find out exactly where things stand with Jack and his wife, Sarah. Are they still married? Did they have children? Did she leave him for a guy named Ed? :lol:
ABC's is moving 'Lost' to 9 PM on Wednesdays next season and putting "Invasion" on at 8:00 PM. It's a conspiracy drama set in a small, South Florida town on the edge of the Everglades where the residents begin to suspect extraterrestrials might be living among them.

Someone in one of the Spoiler threads here mentioned reading the book "Timeline" recently, and that "Black Rock" is mentioned in it. This rang a bell with me, so I looked it up. In that book, which discusses the possibility of *time travel* using quantum physics, there is a top secret industrial lab located in Black Rock, Arizona that was experimenting (successfully) with *time travel*.
OK, not saying that there is a direct "link" here, but maybe an Easter Egg by the writers/producers?
Black Rock, the ship, referencing time travel and quantum physics? Perhaps a hint?

For our special season wrap-up, Lost producers J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof give us the inside scoop on the finale and Season 2, choose their favorite episodes-and answer the questions you have been dying to ask.
By Shawna Malcom
After eight months of questions, we finally started getting some answers. The mysterious Black Rock? It's a ship. (Raise your hand if you saw that coming.) The freaky French lady Rousseau? Her psyche's messier than her perpetually uncombed hair. What the quartet of castaways found after setting sail on the raft? It just may have cost them their lives.
Of course, the castaways-and maybe some cast members-aren't the only ones who will have one very nerve-racking summer. Viewers who have followed every twist, turn and shocker will have to wait until the fall to get an explanation for Lost's oh-no-they-didn't cliff-hanger, which aired May 25. Let's just say we feel your pain.
But TV Guide's got just the thing to help ease the withdrawal: Exclusive dish from the show's cast and producers on what went on behind the scenes of the explosive final episode and-are you sitting down?-an early sneak peek at Season 2. And all you have to do is turn the page.
FINALE SECRET No. 1 Producers resorted to drastic measures to keep details from leaking out. For starters, actors were given only the parts of the script in which they appeared, which meant that the raft riders-Josh Holloway (Sawyer), Harold Perrineau (Michael), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) and Malcolm David Kelley (Walt)-were the only ones to receive the highly anticipated final pages. And even they didn't get them until the night before shooting. "I was like, 'I don't know the lines'", Perrineau remembers telling the producers. "'And since it's my job to know the lines, somebody might want to give me a script.'"
Producers were just as paranoid with one another. Whenever they discussed the cliff-hanger, they used a code name: "the bagel". That way, says executive producer Carlton Cuse, "you could talk about the production realities of 'the bagel' or what preceded 'the bagel' without revealing too much."
FINALE SECRET No. 2 Shooting the scenes on the raft was about as pleasant as being chased through the jungle by a man-eating monster. “Let’s just say I would prefer to be hung from a cliff,” Holloway says of the week he and the other three actors spent filming on the Pacific. Thirteen-year-old Kelley got seasick, while Perrineau was routinely forced to face on of his biggest fears. “I don’t swim,” he says. Only Kim, an experienced diver, seems to have had a good time. “We’d sing songs between takes,” he says. “It was strangely bonding.”
SEASON 2 SECRET No. 1 Will every cast member return next season? Not necessarily. After all, the cliff-hanger left many characters’ fates, er, hanging. After reading the last few pages of the script, Perrineau laughingly says his reaction was, “Is this so we don’t renegotiate [our contracts]? We’re all in peril. It’s nuts. Just bananas.” Kim, however, seems confident he’ll return. “And I think Jin is going to be speaking more English,” he reveals.
SEASON 2 SECRET No. 2 Producers have been plotting the show’s new episodes for months. “You have to get out ahead of it as much as possible,” explains executive producer Damon Lindelof. “If you start making it up as you go along, you’re in Doomstown.” By the end of April, he’d already begun initiating new writers: “You bring them into a room, close the door and say, ‘It’s time you found out what the monster is. And here’s what’s inside the hatch.’” And the scribes better have good memories. “You have to [mentally] download all the mythology because I don’t let anybody put it in writing,” Lindelof says. “I feel like once it’s on a computer, it’s accessible, and that makes me nervous.”
SEASON 2 SECRET No. 3 Expect to see some new faces. Dr. Artz (Daniel Roebuck), the high school physics teacher and resident explosives expert who first appeared in the May 11 episode, will be back. And executive producer J.J. Abrams hints he won’t be the only actor packing his bags for a lengthy stay in Hawaii. “We’ll begin to open up [the world of the island] a little bit,” he says. “You’ll be meeting a number of people who survived.”
Just as we thought. This is going to be one long summer.

I just got done watching it! i had to record cause i wasnt home yesterday! BUT MY GOODNESS! what an episode! That raft scene creeped me out! as did the whole "monster" scene. Did anyone notice how the smoke from the dynamite was sort of sucked into the air ( when locke was hanging in the hole)? Is it possible that this "monster" is invisible? SOO many things i need to know! i cant believe i have to wait till September!

Wow!! What a show. It kept me hanging on the edge of my seat . . . I couldn't switch to see how American Idol was going!!
Now, here come my quesitons, (because inquring minds want to know).
1. The fire on the beach. Was it a decoy or a beacon for the "Others" to find their way back to the beach?
2. The whole schuffle on the boats happened so quickly and I don't have TEVO. Sawyer pulled his gun and shot. Did someone on the other boat also pull a gun and fire?
3. Why do they want Walt?????
4. Where did the motor boat come from? And what about the gas to power it? These people have been trapped for almost 16 years. Yes, the boat was in rusty and worn condition, but where did it come from? The French lady and her party (of 6 right?) were marooned. But how did they become marooned? And, if this group has gas for their boat, why don't they use it to get off the island. Unless, they are part of the security system too!
5. Speaking of the security system . . . what is the monster? It seemed very mechanical. In fact, I could hear something that sounded like chains clicking when Locke was being dragged.
6. The hatch, to me, appears to be a huge, immense, (and very, very deep) fall-out shelter. But, is it connected someone to the hole that the monster "lives" in?
7. Time travel, huh? From the future or past? To what purpose and how does it fit in? I'm not saying no, I just don't see how it would fit in.
