The Frozen Donkey Wheel - LOST Season 4 Finale

Official LOST Podcast 03-21-2008
The end of the season will be referred to "The Frozen Donkey Wheel". Only the minimum number of people that need to know the information of the end of the season. Last season's code name for Jack and Kate on the tarmac was the "Rattlesnake in the Mailbox." The "The Frozen Donkey Wheel" is not the final scene of the final episode, but a key moment in the finale.

Damon and Carlton have unofficially confirmed that the Oceanic 6 are Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Aaron, and Sun. The trailer last week showed the Oceanic 6 were these characters, even though that had intentionally left it so you'd think Jin was one of them.

Questions:
You have to enter the "atmosphere" of the island in a very specific way much like the space shuttle. They did hint that this could be the source of the "sickness" on the island.

How long did Miles have the grenade in his mouth? Did he have lock jaw?
Miles was not "Locke-Jawed."

Will they show the Swan implosion anymore?
No. We haven't seen our last purple sky. There is another electromagnetic event coming up this year.

Is the electrical storm always there? Wasn't answered.

Monster, Human, Apparition Game:
Ben's Mother -Apparition
Boar - Animal
Spider - Monster
Dave - Figment/Apparition
Yummi - Monster
Cat Nadia - Animal
Walt - (Personal,Apparition, Monster)
Boone - Person, Dream
Jack - Human
Kate's Horse - Undead


In Expose, the Nikki and Palao episode, on the title page has "Rick Lapidus," is there a connection or do you guys really love the name?
There is no connection to Frank Lapidus, other than the writer Eddie really loves the name.

Is Aaron in danger, now that he is being raised by Kate?
Richard (the physic) is a fraud and a con-man. Do you believe he's a physic then he's in danger? Do you believe he's a con-man he's fine. He is in danger.

Were the Others familiar with Kevin Johnson from the NBA?
They picked an innocuous name not to tip off Whidmore.

Cultural Anthropologists and Archaeologists have a nerdy feud, does she have both degrees?
Charoltte is a Cultural Anthropologists and a closet Archaeologists. Cultural Anthropologists study civilizations and cultures which is important.

Will we see a flashback featured the Black Rock and the 4 Toed Statue?
We will learn more but not in a flashback.

LOST shout outs and Answers about Season 3 Finale

The ''Lost'' universe expands -- to NBC? - DOC JENSEN - Entertainment Weekly

'Hi Doc — My biggest problem with the season finale was Locke killing Naomi. It seemed really out of character and unnecessary. Couldn't he have just injured her enough not to make the call? Did he really have to kill her? Could you probe the producers to find out if the audience will eventually find out Locke's motivation for killing her?'' — Tricia

Damon Lindelof responded:
''After lying, gutshot, in a pit of Dharma corpses for two days and on the verge of taking his own life, an apparition of Walt appeared to Locke and said ''You have work to do.'' I would dare say that we might be willing to give John the benefit of the doubt for any action he took in response to this series of events, even if considered slightly ''out of character.'' I, for one, become VERY cranky when I get gutshot.''

A valid point, although I think Tricia's fuzzyness on the matter is understandable: the finale — focused and stuffed as it was on Jack, Charlie, The Others, and other non-Locke momentousness — wasn't really about capturing Locke's state of mind. My guess is that very early in season 4, Lost will give us a story that will zero in on the very weird-and-warped place Locke finds himself in.

'Lost' won't end 'with a blackout'

'Lost' won't end 'with a blackout' - The Hollywood Reporter talks about the ending of LOST with Carlton Cuse & Damon Lindelof. Also gives some clues for next season.

While "Lost" viewers will have to wait till next year to see the next TV episodes, Cuse and Lindelof said in the fall there will be a series of "Lost" mobisodes featuring the entire cast and rolling out first on Verizon Wireless and then probably appearing on ABC.com. They said they're keenly aware of the eight-month gap between last month's finale and the return of "Lost" at the beginning of next year.

"How do you keep the show alive in the minds of the audience in that time?" Cuse asked. They're also planning to go back to San Diego's Comic-Con International, where the show was launched, to address May's Season 3 finale and what they had in mind.

Cuse said the mobisodes, about 90 seconds each, will give the hardcore "Lost" viewer more information that they probably weren't going to get through the show itself. What it won't be, they said, was a mini version of "Lost."

Who's in the Coffin? (SPOILER)

I have been thinking about that coffin and what we know. I think based on the available evidence a lot of people are saying that it is Michael in that coffin. We know he's from New York and has a son. I think the person in the coffin is someone that we have not meet yet. We'll just have to wait and see, and depending on the timeline of the show over the next couple of seasons, we might be waiting a long time to find out.

They say this is the paper that Jack was reading, but obvious from the pdf file, the one they used in the show was different. The story about "Residents speak out about proposed coastal gas plant" is the same. So yes, they used part of this paper in their fake one, but they obviously changed some things and I don't think we should try to say definitively that it is from April 5, 2007.

SPOLIER: Jack in Season 3 finale

If you don't want to know any details about Jack or the finale, do not read the rest of this post or look at the pictures.

I've read a few places that some people felt Jack's beard (no grey hair) was an inconsistency with a "flash forward" from last night's episode. Here is a screen cap I captured showing Mr. Grey Beard.

Also I've read a few different theories as to who was in the coffin. The part I could read from the screen cap that I captured.

SPOLIERS: Are you LOST?

After watching the season finale, were you left LOST? I had actually read some spoilers that weren't marked as spoilers of what was going on and how it ended, and when i read it, I thought it was ridiculous and just couldn't see it actually happening. Oh but it did, just like the post had said. I really did not like the ending. I was let down. Everything definitely changed, and there are so many questions that need to be answered now. Will I still watch? oh course. I hope that season 4 opens well, nine months from now.

SPOILERS:

I don't think Charlie had to die, he could've stepped out of the room and then closed and locked the door, he had the time.

What's up with the temple? Where is it? What do they worship there? Is it another station? Is it part of Dharma or a temple built by others prior to Dharma?

Jack and Kate in 2007, some have said they've seen the date on the newspaper. I looked, I couldn't see it anywhere. The Motorola phone and the line about "still pulling people from burning wreckage," make me think it probably is pretty much present day. Otherwise, I would think that Jack and Kate not only knew each other before the crash, but had been to island perhaps as part of Dharma.
