German website SerienJunkies got an interview (4 pages!) with Terry during the Festival Großes Fernsehen (Big TV Festival?)

He brings up an interesting point. We haven't seen a flash forward with Locke yet, unless you count his brief (and deceased) appearance in the S4 finale....

But you have to keep track where on the time line all these things are supposed to happen to John Locke?

Yes, but in Locke's case, so far, he has only had the past and the present. As far as I know. Nobody has told me anything else. Both of those things are very clear to me and they are very clear to him. So, it's really not a challenge to me. It's more complicated for the fans of „Lost“.

And, um, yeah, this.

On the internet, we came across some websites which seem to suggest that you are the source of rather erotic fantasies from some of your female viewers. How do you cope?

Could you write them down for me? (laughter) Because I don't think I have seen them yet. I would like to have those, just to be able to show them my wife once in a while. How do I cope? I haven't been confronted with this problem. But I look forward to it. I haven't met them, and maybe if I met them, I would rather they stopped. But I like to live with my illusions. I can pictures them now, all of them. And they are gorgeous!

Oh, to have your problems!

The UK's Digital Spy sat down with Sayid, aka Naveen Andrews....

He talks some about his character, and how he feels that the 'future' timeline has filled him out somewhat...

What did you make of the flash-forwards this season?
"I thought it was a bonus, for me personally. It's a challenge to be able to play a character in the present and then zoom ahead to a point when they may have undergone great changes. I felt in season four, Sayid was spiritually dead [in the future], and something awful happened to his soul. To be able to play that and then go back to the island, where he's still quite active in life, was good."

How much are you told about the character, doing these future scenes?
"Absolutely f**k all."

Lots of other good stuff in there.

OK folks, grain of salt mandatory, but what's this about the fate of Jin? (highlight to read!)

Mena in Los Angeles: Please, spill the beans! Is there a chance that my darling Jin survived the freighter explosion on Lost?

Jin is gonna be fine. I don't know exactly how, but he's going to be fine. I suspect that the difference between Michael's and Jin's survival is that Michael was trapped inside the hold, whereas Jin being up on the edge of the deck meant he had a chance to be blown clear of the ship. Besides, the guy magically survived the crash of a 747 and the wreck of the raft. No reason he shouldn't survive this shipwreck—I choose to believe the Island clearly joins us all in loving him and wanting to keep him around.

Um, OK? Thoughts?

The UCLA Asia Institute has an interview with Ken Leung, aka the ever "sardonic" Miles from LOST.

APA: Based on what I've read and heard about the acting experience on a show like Lost, where because everything is kept so under wraps, you often don't have a sense of where the character is going beyond the episode you're filming, I'm wondering what kind of challenges that brings in terms of preparing for the role.

KL: It's really hard, because you're kind of preparing in a bubble, and you're not sure if you're in a vacuum. You prepare the scenes that you're doing so they make sense to you, and you're coming from some perspective, and it's really up to you to make decisions on why you do things or what you're after. Meanwhile, you know that it's your own concoction, and you really don't know how it ultimately fits into the grand scheme of the story. So it leaves you feeling a little isolated in that sense. So it's really hard. I'm finding it really hard.

No earth-shattering kabooms to be found, but a little interesting.

I just thought of something! Where the hell was Vincent during all of this!

He must be on the island, wherever that might be, going... "You know, something's not right. I can't quite put my paws on it, but the air smells different. I'm hungry. Oh look, a bird!" Or something.

I can't believe they didn't address his character!

(Part 1 Recap, Part 2 Recap)

We now return to the continuing stooory of how the Oceanic Six came to be off the island. Stay tuned, folks, it only gets better from here! Click through to read the recap for part 3. This is going to be good.

Just like Part 2, I'm going to go in 'episode time' rather than separate the stories.

(The recap for part one can be found here!)

Well, this is getting interesting. Mysterious new names, new DHARMA stations, gobs of C4, and those guys who just won't die...

So with the last two parts of this, I think instead of breaking things apart into their separate stories, I'm just going to go along 'as it happened' if you will. There were enough little flash fragments tossed in to make it otherwise confusing. So here goes!

Since it's going to take a while to do the recaps for parts 2 and 3 of this three-hour LOST epic, I figured I'd go ahead and do the dirty work first. God knows this is going to take long enough as it is.

We finally gain some insight into the inner workings of the island, as Ben shows us what's down below. We find out the identity of the corpse in Jack's coffin, the real identity of the person we only knew as Jeremy Bentham. This and so much more. But like all finales, these tidbits of knowledge come at a cost....

I've put all of this together in no particular order, so here it goes.

Frozen Donkey Wheel. I totally get it now. Hee HAW!!! Not quite the snake in the mailbox, or the exploding hatch, but still... whoa!!

If you saw the post below, then yeah, Jeremy Bentham is NOT Ben Linus. You'll have to wait for the real posts for that!
