Season 4 SPOILER CHAT!

I heard on the Podcast from 9/20/07 that we'll find out whether or not Kate is pregnant with Sawyer's baby during the first four episodes of Season 4. Since we've already seen the first three episodes, I am wondering if we'll find out this week. Especially if it is a Kate-centered episode.

Supreme Mugwump:
<<Boo hiss...this week is a Kate episode. Blarg! Where is Eggtown?>>

I'm personally guessing it refers to Kate's ovaries, myself...there is NO way that Kate wasn't knocked up by Sawyer in the cage at the Hydra station, given what we know about the Island's effects on male potency.

<<or am I making up Beantown?>>

Nope, Boston really is nicknamed "Beantown", for its famous Boston Baked Beans™. :-)

<<I bet Eggtown is a Sawyer generated name for a town. Maybe the Others little house community. I can totally see him calling it that to Ben. haha!>>

I think you may also be on to something there!

<<Can't wait for more Desmond...I guess that means we won't find out anything about his and Sayid's trip on the heliocopter this week. Stupid Kate getting in the way!>>

You and me both, brotha! But you're wrong about us not learning anything about the helicopter. We do, in fact, learn one very important thing about Sayid and Des' helicopter flight this episode, which will set up Des' episode next week. >:}

<<Will the other woman be Kate loving up Jack? Or more from her dead ex-husband's mistress?>>

If you mean the episode title for 4.6, I think that's a play on Juliet being both Jack's possible "other woman" from Kate, and Juliet's former status as an Other woman. That said, I suspect that 4.4 tonight is going to be a real downer for 'shippers. (And GOOD! FUCK 'EM! Truly, is there anything more annoying than people viewing a deep, rich, complex show like Lost through the lense of something as mundane as a soap opera love triangle? Yeesh! OK...going to my happy place...)

That's a big 10-4 on that one. Methinks (based on speculation only) the "him" to whom Kate referred in the S.3 finale was actually her kid. I can't imagine a relatively new mom wanting to leave her kid unsupervised any longer than *absolutely* necessary.

Joanna:
<<I really was surprised by the Eggtown preview - showed a lot. Kate visiting Hurley and Sawyer who were "roomates"? At first I thought it was a flash-forward, 'till the Dharma Wine came out.>>

Well, you mean the preview or the various "sneak peeks"? 'Cause the latter has been a new wrinkle this season. It seems that ABC has been releasing anywhere from 4-6 little ~1.5 minute snippets of each episode to the spoiler hungry (I usually catch them on the "Watch With Kristin" column at E! Online or on DarkUFO's spoiler section).

Some MIGHTY interesting things in those snippets. "Eggtown" could also be a reference to the fact that Locke is seen serving Ben eggs in on eof the sneak peeks, while Ben (again) gets the psychological better of Locke.

<<I'm glad you started a spoiler chat, a safe place to discuss the previews in general...>>

Happy to! It had to be done. ;-)

BTW, there's a VERY juicy interview between Darlton and Entertainment Weekly's resident Lostologist, Doc Jensen posted over at DarkUFO...

Among the tidbits:

• Episode 5 deals with elements of time travel.
• In episode 5, Lapidus will explain why the satellite phone can't contact in the outside world.
• By the end of the season, we'll know who was in the coffin as well as what's happened to Jack to make him want to go back.
• No answers coming on Jacob and the cabin this season, although we may see it again.
• More details on The Purge, Adam & Eve and another station are coming, but not this season.
• Ben's List for Sayid is linked to who placed the wreckage of Flight 815.

...but there's a lot more good stuff there! And more to come in Doc Jensen's article in the next EW.

(And, for the record, <stephencolbert>I CALLED IT!</stephencolbert> I'd been saying all along since Naomi first mentioned that 815 supposedly was found with a full compliment of corpses "near Bali" that it was a planted fake, and not anything more supernatural than that. *Does happy Ockham's Razor dance*)

Oooo...lovely teaser-spoilers from Damon & Carlton in the 3/10-3/16 print issue of TV Guide...here they are as summarized on Doc Arzt's blog:

• We'll learn why Sayid is Ben's paid assassin
• Why Jack has descended into a tormented diet of pills and booze
• This season ends with the O6 getting off the Island
• Cuse: The Jack-Kate situation remains unresolved and probably will be for a while.
• Lindelof says that we haven't seen the last of Kate-Sawyer this season--not by a long shot
• Lindelof: It's about how many years elapsed between what we're watching on the Island and the FF's.
• Cuse: There are some growth issues when you go on or off the island, but I can't say more about that.
• We may learn in the March 20 episode (4.08 Meet Kevin Johnson) whether Michael ever reached the mainland, if he's come back to rescue the other survivors, whether he went home. (per Cuse, which Damon qualifies as we'll learn most of those.)

I saw that and forgot to post here...my bad. Good on ya for that, lisa!

But we're already starting to get some trickles in on the episodes that start shooting next week...

Casting call info from DarkUFO re: Ep 4.9:

ISHMAEL BAKIR
Middle Eastern, 40s, should have a slight natural accent, a high-ranking businessman who carries himself with a sense of quiet menace. We get the impression that this distinguished man has the capacity for great violence.

DESK CLERK
African (Tunisian), female, any age, French-speaking. Cold to some guests, but gracious to the wealthy. MUST HAVE A BRITISH OR FRENCH ACCENT

DOORMAN
50s, British, white, distinguished. Uniformed doorman works for a luxury building.

BEDOUINS
Two Arabic men, any age, MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK ARABIC. Stunts required - Must be able to ride a horse.

Plus, from Watch With Kristin:

Fisher Stevens (Minkowski) said he would be returning to Hawaii to resume filming his role on Lost.


..."Tunisian" + the dead Minkowski sounds like Charlotte's back-story to me. What do you guys think?

Don't trust the what? I couldn't read it!

i'm glad some questions will be answered!

Wow! I am excited about 9, 10 and 11!!

Oh man those sneak peeks look great! Wow!

What is the target air date for ep. 9?

Claire is useless at this point. We've seen her story, I vote for her. Karl hasn't added much but maybe he could. I don't think it would be that major if he died. Doesn't seem like he would warrant all the lead up advertising they have been doing. Miles has more story but then again I thought the same about Naomi before they offed her.
