Rubio- I can't imagine HOW they survived, but I hope they did- I would miss seeing Sawyer's smirk, and his biceps too.... .

I am hoping that in some crazy way Walt is going to be saved by his dad. I just feel for Michael having just found his son again....

I'm totally hooked as well and can't wait for the second season. My guess is there used to be some sort of lab on the island, stuff went wrong and the labfolks left- and left behind their icebears, monsters and all such.
Which doesn't explain the whole number- issue going on though....

I'll post an interesting article in a sec- don't read it if you don't like spoiler-ish stuff. Seems we all have to watch out for Episode 3 of season 2 from what it says...............

Once it starts running over there- can some of you post what it up after each episode?? We're still stuck midway in season one here- luckily I got all episodes off the i-net.




SPIOLER-ISH STUFF AHEAD:



'Lost' in the face of death
By William Keck, USA TODAY
OAHU, Hawaii — The stakes are rising. No doubt about it.

New mysteries await: Terry O'Quinn, Evangeline Lilly and Matthew Fox peer into the mysterious hatch.
ABC

The Others are out there, and they mean harm: They blew up the escape raft and kidnapped young Walt. The French-speaking "mad"-moiselle took Claire's baby for a few heart-stopping hours. And that deafening, unseen monster is still rustling in the trees. (Related gallery: The Lost cast talks about what's to come in Season 2)

On the outskirts of Honolulu in a warehouse converted into what looks like a cheesy Hawaiian-themed restaurant with fake caves, lit tiki torches, wood-chip floors and plastic tropical plants, some of the stars of the hit ABC series Lost have assembled to shoot a scene for next week's second-season premiere (Sept. 21, 9 p.m. ET/PT). It promises to pick up the many threads left hanging by last season's two-hour finale, which repeats tonight at 9.

On the set, Matthew Fox (Jack) stands atop a mound of lava rocks to share disturbing news with the remaining survivors of Oceanic Flight 815: Another castaway, high school teacher Dr. Arzt, is dead, having exploded in the finale.

Mixed in with the crowd of extras are familiar faces from the series' freshman year: Naveen Andrews (Sayid), Maggie Grace (Shannon), Yunjin Kim (Sun), Evangeline Lilly (Kate), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie) and Emilie de Ravin (Claire), who is dangling Claire's infant son Aaron — actually, a disturbingly lifelike $8,000 replica — by one arm.

Director Jack Bender instructs the extras to do another take. This time, he kids, "with acting," as they respond to Jack's announcement that Arzt exploded while trying to transport dynamite.

"Be careful with your gasps; he's not the first (death)," Bender reminds them. "Was it that (expletive) noise out there? That monster? Let the panic bubble up. Think, 'Next time, it could be me.' "

Those words offer a particularly painful sting for the stars. The sudden dismissal late last season of series regular Ian Somerhalder (Boone) has made them all realize that the precarious nature of this dangerous island does not guarantee them the same job security as, say, the Desperate Housewives of the only slightly less dangerous Wisteria Lane.

"It's painful and nerve-racking," says Josh Holloway (Sawyer) of the producers' secret hit list. Holloway was about to purchase a boat with Somerhalder before Boone was killed. "It has changed the dynamic, and to say it hasn't is a lie. Before, it was all love and family, and now there's fear. It created a negative thing that wasn't there before. We're all watching our backs now."

Swimming for his life

When Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) decided over the summer that it was finally time to buy a home on the island — one of the last cast members to do so — he asked producers if he'd be around long enough to warrant such a purchase. His character was stranded in the middle of the ocean along with Holloway's Sawyer and Harold Perrineau's Michael in the finale.

All they would tell him — as they've told the others — was that the decision was up to him. "They have to be true to what they do," Kim says.

Perrineau went so far as to enroll in swimming lessons over his summer break in hopes of climbing back on that burning raft and saving his job. Growing up in Brooklyn, Perrineau had bad experiences in the city pool with aggressive cousins who prevented him from keeping his head above water. His daughter, Aurora, 10, had been teaching him a bit, but since early August he has been working with a professional coach.

"I can't stay afloat for a long time but enough to wade while they're setting up shots," Perrineau says. "Now, the only thing I have to worry about are the sharks."

He's not kidding. Just after midnight in the dark waters off Makaha Beach on Oahu's West Shore, Perrineau is among a second group of Lost stars shooting scenes from a different story thread. The still-flaming remnants of the escape raft harbor two of the three stranded characters; one fails to emerge.

The two men lucky enough to make it back onto the raft discover they are being attacked by a great white, as evidenced by three men in wet suits manipulating a 400-pound mechanical shark on the water's surface. But because of technical difficulties, the shark shot that ultimately was used came courtesy of a crewmember holding a fin on a stick. "It was ridiculous," Perrineau says with a laugh.

Although he was left on dry land in the finale, Monaghan remains confident in his job security based on the international following he brings to the show after appearing in the three Lord of the Rings films.

"England, Australia, New Zealand, everywhere I lived, the show's huge," he says matter-of-factly. "It's the biggest (U.S. import) show ever on England's Channel 4. Our agents can argue what we each bring to this show."

Yet he is cognizant that "they're going to have to start killing more of us." The next victim has, in fact, already been notified. Whispers of that unlucky actor's identity leaked to the mainland in early summer, inspiring a studio publicist to issue a stern warning to the cast and their representatives on the importance of remaining tight-lipped.

Down the hatch

But the biggest secret to date has been what's under the hatch, finally blown open in May's cliffhanger. The top-secret interior, to be explored in the season's first few episodes, was constructed in a Diamond Head soundstage about a half-hour from the caves, strictly off-limits to visitors.

"I've gone inside (the hatch) now, and I know to some extent what it's about," says the Emmy-nominated Terry O'Quinn, whose character, Locke, was fixated on the hatch for most of last season. "I'm afraid that people are going to be like, 'How can you possibly deliver on such a big promise?'

"But I think it's satisfying. I think it's as good as they could possibly do. They give you an answer within an enigma without giving away the whole balloon. There's a lot of new questions."

Standing near Fox at the base-camp set, O'Quinn is slicing a rope with a razor-sharp knife as his character tells the other survivors he's "going down" into the freshly opened hatch. O'Quinn accidentally cuts his finger, and a medic is called. But the unfazed actor insists on continuing the scene.

"I'm sick of waiting," his character gripes, "for the Others and the brave folks on the raft to come back with help."

Despite Lost's impressive ratings last season, many fans made clear they, too, were sick of waiting — for answers to the show's many mysteries. Why are they on this island? What is the monster that seemingly was revealed in the season finale to be a shadowy "security system" of sorts? Why did Locke regain his ability to walk after the crash, and why is he struggling again? What is the significance of the number sequence that won Hurley his lottery millions and is etched in the side of the hatch? And, of course, what's in the hatch?

Although that all-important last question will be revealed in the premiere, producer Damon Lindelof says the real revelation will come in Episode 3. Lindelof, along with executive producer Carlton Cuse, has been handed the reins now that Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams is off shooting Mission: Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise.

Lindelof says he sat Abrams down to go over an entire season's worth of stories, flashbacks and new characters leading all the way through May's season finale.

Love finds a way

Season 2 will find the characters beginning to adjust to their island home and exploring feelings of hope and even passion.

"We've been 40 days on this island dealing with very intense things and not a lot of room for romance," Fox says of the story line. "Anytime people are in extreme circumstances, there has to be moments where people need physical contact and a feeling of being safe."

For Fox's Jack, passion and physical contact likely will present itself through Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast and the Furious, SWAT), whose new regular character, Ana Lucia, was seen briefly last season in an airport flashback with Jack.

Producers hoped to keep Rodriguez's casting a secret to protect the "big reveal" that a set of new castaways would be discovered along with the rear half of the plane early into the season. But someone leaked the news to the press.

Lindelof confirms that Rodriguez's character will throw a wrench into the Jack-Kate-Sawyer love triangle, and Lilly expects obvious tension to develop between the female characters.

And don't expect a happy blending of the two groups. It will be more like a Survivor-esque battle between the tribes.

"Up to now, things have been relatively decent, if you ignore the episode where Sawyer was tortured," Andrews says. "But now things are going to get wild and a lot more violent for everybody. Life will become rather brutal."

And the body count will grow. "The Season 2 cliffhanger," Monaghan hints, "sets it up so that all of us could conceivably die."

I watched the season finale again last night and I am soooo ready for it to begin again. I heard that Sawyer survives the attack, although it looked like he might have been shot last night. Jin grew up fishing so I think he is a great swimmer and he probably saves Sawyer. The rumours that I have heard is that Kate will be in some trouble down in the hatch. That one original female member of the cast is going to die. And that Walt will be gone for the first couple of episodes.

I will definitely be glued to my television this Wed night!

I'm having such a miserable day at work that stumbling on this thread is the best thing that could have happened to me while trying to get my mind off my woes. Banzoomba, thanks for that link to the Lost forum...this will keep me busy for a good long time.

Funny, I was about to start a thread asking for some virtual hugs, but I feel a little better now. OK, I will still take the virtual hugs, and if anyone feels the need to say, "Eileen, it will be alright" I will heartily accept it. Sorry to hijack the thread with my own bummer story...I'll go away now. But I can't wait for Lost to start again and it's good to know there are someother junkies out there.
