Here's to hoping he doesn't die this week!

I'm with ya, I hope he doesn't die this week either! He'd make a very interesting new character I think ^^ And despite the fact that he threatened to blow my fav. character's head off.. I still like him... so long as he doesn't kill Locke, lol. Or Jack for that matter!

The people in charge of casting must be very good. All of the actors have been great. Finding out that the actor Henry Ian Cusick has played the part of Jesus and remembering the part where Desmond questioned Jack about miracles (and you don't believe in miracles?) in the stadium. Well, they really picked the right actor to ask that question. The confrontation scene with Locke and Kate was very good.

! He'd make a very interesting new character I think

the actor Henry Ian Cusack has played the part of Jesus

You've never seen Jesus portrayed quite this way!

He's elicited a lot of emotion among the fans while playing Desmond.

Desmond has put Scotland back on the map!

If they give Desmond his own area - that means they are not writing him off ....RIGHT?????? :smile: (at least I am hoping that is the case...)

Finding out Desmond's story since the run at the stadium should make for a good show.

You are so right! He obviously has as good of a story to how he got there on the island than any of the lostaways! The theories are abounding on this board as to why he's down there and what changed him from being that spiritual, caring and sensitive man in the stadium to an arsnal packing hermit in a bunker 50 feet below ground on an uncharted tropical island.

If there ain't a story in there somewhere ... it's not our dear writers that are looking at it!

I am SO happy he has his own section!!

LONG LIVE DESMOND!!!! :biggrin:

I have the DVDs on order from blockbuster.com and can't wait to see them! I've been watching clips from his past work on his website and it's all been really good. Especially the doctor one. I have to get that one!

Well, I'm glad he has his own board. He makes a very cool new character. He actually makes you want to know more about him, and he's an excellent actor. I love just about everyone on LOST, but it took me a few episodes to really like them. I liked desmond right off the bat.

Something about Desmond creeps me out. Not that he's not a good character. That wild look in his eyes when he looks over Locke's shoulder at Jack is freaky. He has a crazed "I've been locked in this hatch way too long" look.

But that's just one time that we see that look and I have a feeling it's more directed at Jack than his being locked up in that bunker.

If you have the first two eppys on tape, play them back and watch Desmond closely. He is nearly the sweet guy that Jack met while running. He doesn't go into "comando" mode until the hatch is blown open and who could blame him? You'd go "comando" if your front door was blown open too! LOL

But watch him interact with Locke as he gets more time with him. He's easy going and talks fairly easily with Locke considering the circumstances. It isn't until the computer goes off that we see the crazed man again ... and when we see that it's some kind of count-down machine, again ... who can blame him? Maybe it blows up the bunker if not reset on time ... whatever it does, it had him majorly worried!

And then he gets that look in his eyes when he peeks out from behind Locke. One reason may be that Jack has a gun pointed in his direction, another may be that he finally recognizes him.

But over all, Desmond isn't as crazy as he first comes across. He's got a back story that's really worth telling! I really, really hope the writers know this and give it to us eventually.

Lift it up, bruhtha!

Desmond does not act anything different than what I do when invaded in my home, and I think that is a very simple concept, protect your home and surroundings, most of all, your well being. It is not so different than Danielle, but I fear she is actually a bit crazier.....it has been longer for her.

Exactly! Who wouldn't act like that if someone blew their front door open? They're lucky he was waiting for someone and didn't just shoot them on the spot!

He has a crazed "I've been locked in this hatch way too long" look.
In his case, that is very good acting. I actually have the locked in this hatch way too long look as well, but it is more due to never leaving the office.

In this weeks episode, we got to see desmond out of the hatch. He wasn't so crazy when he was talking to Jack. He seemed much more like he was running the steps in the stadium.

I am with you on that!!!!! Maybe that's why I like Desmond so much he is a kindred spirit - no wait -a brutha!

Desmond stopped and talked to Jack even though he was running away from the Hatch. He asked about "the girl." How sweet is that?

Great observation, Penguin! I agree. I really believe that the "crazed Desmond" was simply due to his bunker being invaded. He had no idea what Locke, Kate or Jack had planed for him.

It was very nice to see that original, gentle Desmond from the first meeting. :biggrin:

The craziness, it occurred to me, may be from lack of sleep...having to wake up every 108 minutes over a few years time would make one quite loco...not to mention the cabin fever, isolation, sensory deprivation of sorts...

Wonder how he will fare out there in the foliage...

I agree with that, too. I think Desmond will first be a bit hesitant due to having to keep cover but once he feels more at ease, I think he's going to begin to enjoy it ... though he will, I'm sure miss his hot showers, blender drinks and other things. I just hope the tail section folks never find him!

Yeah, well at least he has sunlight now....and fresh air. lol

Imagine how he's going to react if he starts to come across some of the things that our lostaways have found ... like the Black Rock and the drug plane ... And I wonder if he knows anything about the "security system" and will it try to grab him like it did Locke?

Look out for Polar Bears Desmond!:fear3:

Look out for Polar Bears Desmond!:fear3:
Oh yeah! And the polar bears!

He didn't take any weapons did he? How's he going to fend in the wild? :confused:

He took a gun. I think.

Desmond should totally hook up with Rouseau. If they put their heads together they would be unstoppable. Hmmm?

When did he do that, stircrazy? They show him taking the food, the vials and injector, the bunny and Bible but I never saw him grab a gun. He'd have to have gone into the gun room to get one because all of the other guns were "occupied" after Jack took command. But, we don't know if there was anything in that backpack before he started filling it up. I hope he has at least a knife or it's going to be really hard on him in the jungle.

Guess I am so used to see everyone with guns. Wishful thinking. Polar bear repellant at least.

They didn't actually show him taking any weapons but in the computer room, when he has the rifle on Locke (in a promo pix) you can see that he has something like a knife or could just be a flashlight, in his left side pocket. Might have been a weapon.

nope didn't see a weapon the second time around.

I'm sure Desmond will wind up atracted to Kate -- everyone else seems to be

NO. I forbid it!!!

I agree, stircrazy! THAT WON'T HAPPEN! I REFUSE!

Everytime I have a Charlie/Dom dream Kate/Evie pops up. I don't need that with Desmond as well.

The new Us magazine (issue 561, Nov.14) has a big spread of Dom and Evie on the beach clutching and kissing...
someone commented "It looked like she was going to eat him alive."

Yeah, I have it. Eveyone but Desmond/Ian! When are they going to do a story or blurb on him?!

Good question, Jane! I guess HIC enjoying a day in the English countryside with his wife and kids isn't titillating enough fodder for the tabloids and "entertainment magazines"! :D

Well, if they can follow Prince Charles around in the countryside ... they can sure follow Ian! They need to get their priorities straight. :mad:

Well, Charles and Camilla are in the USA right now! Of course, they're hounded back in jolly old England, too.

I guess HIC hasn't become "big" enough for them. :eek: Shocking, I know. But they don't get the global importance of LOST! :grin:

Look at all the wonderful actors that have come from the RSC and other Shakesspeare companies. Noting beats live theatre. Acting is hard work. Good acting is really hard work. If you ever have the chance to work on any kind of stage production, go for it. Build sets, stage manage, costume, act. If you are lucky you will have an experience like no other. I have to say I have a soft spot for Musical's and Shakespeare or black box. It's either really big or very intimate. So on your summer vacation, find your local community theatre, see if they need any help on their next production. If you want to act, audition. The time is here, the place is now.....You'll have a summer you will always remember.

Some of my best memories and experiences were when I did community theatre (musicals). I made a mean Dulcenea in Man of LaMancha and Mother Superior in The Sound of Music. Also did Finnian's Rainbow and Paint Your Wagon. Ahhh ... those were the days. But I found my real niche is Improv. I was a member of the Santa Monica Second City for almost 2 years (before they shut down). Now that was great! I did the lights for their last show ... Ryan Styles & Andy Dick were in the cast. Great guys and great times! I'd love to do it again but just no time. But I have my memories. :smile:

Stage is incomparable. I'm sure Ian agrees with that! :biggrin:

Same here. If he were to be in a play where he did nothing but read the phone book, I would be camp out overnite to buy tickets (hopefully first row). He would probably make it entertaining to say the least.

I :heart: the horse, palomino! Is it yours?

You, of course, would want him reading YOUR town's local phone book, yeah? :D

Thank you Save the Humans! Yes that's my Digger horse. He is a 13 yo palomino (hence my username) quarter horse. His official name is Gambler's Gold. I have had him for almost 10 years. If I get another one I think I will name him.....Desmond?

And I don't think I would want him reading my town's phonebook because my town is so small and wouldn't take much time.

Oh, that's OK, palomino! When he gets to your name, he can interrupt his phone book reading to quote all of Shakespeare's Love Sonnets to you! :grin:

I bagged a lot of groceries as a teen to buy him. I just keep thinking that Des would look really hot on a horse. Maybe in a FB we could see him and Pen riding thru the English country side on horseback or something.

The horse will be back. I just want a better pic of him. The Jorge pic is something I found b/c my bff send each other Hurley pics on myspace as comments. I just thought it was funny.

What color horse would he look good on? Personally I would like to see him on a Palomino, but if the setting was the English country side, that wouldn't be realistic. I think a big chestnut with a star would be fitting.

He's a beauty, palomino! Thanks for posting another avi of him! :biggrin:

I like the order you put your wants in, Azaelea! :D

Thanks for the compliments Azaelia! He had a huge ego as is! Horses are fun, but really high maintanance. But there are days when I would choose the horse over men (not including Des though :) ).

With the exception of Des, the horse would be preferable to men, palomino! :D

I think I'll say "neigh" to the horse audition! :10:

I think this conversation has got a little too kinky, so let's try to bring it back to safer grounds.

http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showthread.php?t=53024&page=11 Great idea! I've posted my five at that thread.

I loved the Dinosaur Hunters photo. Ian really looks awesome on a horse. He can really blend in with any historic period that he is cast for.

Anyone see the BBC mini series, "Horatio Hornblower" that was on last year? Ian could have aced the title role. The actor that did it was marvelous but that character just "screamed" Henry Ian Cusick!

Didn't see it, but wasn't that Paul McGann as Horatio Hornblower? Paul McGann, a.k.a. the Eighth Doctor?

Ian for Eleventh Doctor. *shifty*

It's four in the morning, somebody tell me to go to bed and stop trying to tie Lost and Doctor Who together in weird ways.

It's four in the morning, somebody tell me to go to bed and stop trying to tie Lost and Doctor Who together in weird ways. No. Horatio was played by (the very talented and equally handsome) Ioan Gruffudd. The series is available on DVD and I highly recommened it. Really entertaining and very well done.

Chica--go to bed and stop trying to tie LOST and Doctor Who together in weird ways! :D

McGann was the actor who played the Doctor on the online Doctor Who special a few years back, right? Cuz as I remember it, the last Doctor on the TV show (before it went off the air in 1989) was played by Sylvester McCoy.

I think if Ian is going to do TV, I'd rather have him on quality shows (like LOST!) which I can tune in even without cable/satellite. Since I have neither. :wink1:

Okay, cool. I don't know why I was thinking McGann. *investigates* Oh--McGann played 2nd Lt. Bush in said miniseries. That explains it. (At least I think it's said miniseries. 2003? I don't know, it was some project called "Horatio Hornblower" and McGann played 2nd Lt. Bush.)

McCoy was number 7. McGann played the Doctor in the made-for-TV-movie which was of dubious canonicity until the producers firmly announced that Eccleston was number 9.

Are you impugning the quality of my beloved Who? :o Besides, Who has a lineage of almost fifty years of quality and respect. An impressive addition to anyone's resume. :p

What I was SAYING was that I want Ian to be on quality shows that I can tune in. Doctor Who comes on the Sci Fi Network here in the USA, a cable station. I don't have cable.

No, I would NOT impugn Doctor Who. I :heart: Doctor Who--always have, always will! :biggrin:

Hmm. Accepted. :biggrin:

Still would like to see Ian as Eleven, though. ;)

So would I.
He'd be excellent as the Doctor. (not that David Tennant isn't good in the role)

I still think Hollywood missed their chance by not casting Ian as the latest James Bond. Man, for me it's Sean Connery or no one but if Ian was Bond ... well, it'd be more than a close tie!

I agree.
Ian would make a wonderful James Bond.

I agree.
Ian would make a wonderful James Bond. Wouldn't he, though? His voice, his handsome face, his suaveness (is that a word?) ... he would be just purrrrfect! :biggrin:

Ian would be good in ANY role! :biggrin:

I'm sure that David Tennant is in agreeance with you! :24:

You can rest easy Jane, there is NO CHANCE ever to occur such an outrage :biggrin: I watched him all day long if he'd read the dictionary...

So I'll change my statement: if Ian will ever be in a Bond movie that will definitely be the first one I'm not sleeping through ;)

If Ian were ever to become James Bond, it would be the first Bond movie that I would watch since (IMHO) the only person to ever BE Bond - Sir Sean Connery...another great Scot ...now I'd give that a "luvleh" ;)

Very true, Jane...very true :smile:

Yeah, ol' Sir Sean's a bit on the tempermental side! :D

But he's more than earned the right, I guess. He was recently honored for his long and successful career as an actor, too. Wonder what his first meeting with this new dude tapped for the Bond role will be like?

Ian for DESMOND, though! :clap:

Ian for DESMOND, though! :clap: Tempermental isn't exactly what I was refering to. He's known to treat his wife as ... well, not very nicely (even hitting her now and then). And that's not gossip as he's been interviewed and talked about it. He seems to think it's "no big deal." :mad: For that reason I was shocked when he was knighted.

Now Ian ... a gentleman all the way! :biggrin:

OOOOO. Didn't know about the wife-beating thing. Throwback to Neantherthal days, isn't it? :mad:

Given what we know about many of the men who were knighted throughout English history, though, this should come as no surprise! :rolleyes:

Sir Henry Ian Cusick. . .has a nice ring to it! :biggrin:

Have to punt...don't know how to do that multiple quote thing:


STH = Ian for DESMOND, though
Jane = Now Ian...a gentleman all the way
STH = Sir Henry Ian Cusick...has a nice ring to it



AMEN to that, ladies! :biggrin:

If Ian is knighted, and gets on a horse, does that make him a Knight Rider? :laughing:

If Ian is knighted, and gets on a horse, does that make him a Knight Rider? :laughing: As long as he doesn't get the nickname "Kit," I'll be fine with it. ;)

No, "Kitt" would be the HORSE'S name! :D

No, "Kitt" would be the HORSE'S name! :D So you mean that would be a horse of a different color? :eek2:

Guess who has gotten nominated for an Emmy? LOST seems to have lost out on nominations and I was sure Michael Emerson would have gotten one but at least they got one right.

GUEST ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Michael J. Fox, "Boston Legal," ABC, David E. Kelley Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television Studios
Christian Clemenson, "Boston Legal," ABC, David E. Kelley Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television Studios
James Woods, "ER," NBC, Constant c Productions, Amblin Television in association with Warner Bros. Television
Kyle Chandler, "Grey's Anatomy," ABC, Touchstone Television
Henry Ian Cusick, "Lost," ABC, Grass Skirt Productions, LLC in association with Touchstone Television

They also received nominations for :
Directing - Jack Bender - LTDA
Writing - Damon & Carlton - 23 psalm
Casting - April Webster, Veronica Collins Rooney, Mandy Sherman
Cinematography - Michael Bonvillain MOS/MOF
2 nominations for editing. Sarah Boyd - OOT & Sue Blainey, Stephen Semel, Sarah Boyd - LTDA

http://www.thefuselage.com/Threaded/showpost.php?p=1077426&postcount=5

I missed a few in the sound dept.

Just one in the sound department, Sam:

Single Camera Sound Mixing for a Series: "Live Together/Die Alone" (2nd hour).

Missed the cinematography one. But there was also one in:

Special Visual Effects for a Series: "Live Together/Die Alone" (both hours).

I'm tickled that Damon & Cuse got a writing nomination for "The 23rd Psalm." In a sense, it's also a nod to AAA (Eko), who got shut out of the Best Supporting Actor nomination. BTW--"The 23rd Psalm" airs next Wednesday! Don't miss it! :biggrin:

Oh, and OOT (listed for Editing by Sam) = "One of Them," in case you weren't sure.

I am still spinning over Ian's nomination. I doubt I'll come down to earth until the awards are over!

:toot: to Ian and everyone on Lost that was nominated!! :biggrin:

:hug:, Jane!

Again, thanks for letting me rant!

Ian's nomination, for me, is like the sun peering out of a sky full of storm clouds! :biggrin:

This will make you feel good, too. Today I told a fellow Lost fan at work about Ian's nomination and the first thing he replied was, "Well, they'll have to make him a regular now!" Let's just hope TPTB know that, yea? ;)

Here are some spoilers for Season 3: http://www.thetailsection.com/lost_spoilers/lost_spoilers_season_three_lea.php

- What happened to Desmond, Eko, and Locke is directly tied to Kate, Jack, and Sawyer's situation with the others.

- Henry Ian Cusick did in fact sign on as a "guest star," as did the actress playing "Penelope."

I really really really really really really really REALLY hope that that second one is NOT true!


Nothing less than regular's status for Ian!

Besides, where the heck is Desmond supposed to disappear to THIS time?


This is driving me crazy. I just hope this dude is WRONG.

Unless this is what Ian wants. But I hope he wants more than that!

Looks like if we're gonna discuss this, we're gonna be going "back to black" again! :D

This isn't a spoiler, but may make you feel better. I seem to remember for a long while in the beginning of season 1 (possibly while she was missing) Emilie De Ravin was listed in various places as only a guest star. :)

Emilie's gonna be recurring this coming season, Selene. It was one of the reasons I've really been hopeful about Ian.

Anyone have any idea how reliable this guy who posted this stuff is? What's his track record? If he's not from the USA, how does he know so much about what's going on on LOST?

Answers, please!

Honestly I don't, but I've heard several people put their faith in "The Tail Section" for being fairly accurate. So who knows... I'm assuming more and more spoilers will be popping up everyday now since they start shooting in less than a month.

Oh, yeah, spoilers and rumors are already flying fast and furious on the Net! :laughing:

That's why details on the sources and tellers of spoilers or rumors need to be gotten. Anyone out there know ANYTHING?

After his Emmy nomination, and all the nice things Damon & Cuse have said about him in that one podcast? "Nothing at all" is NOT an option here!

Though everyone at LOST and ABC seem to understand what a good actor Ian is, I sometimes wonder if we Desmondites are the only ones who see what a wonderful addition to the regular cast he'd be! I just don't understand all this. :dongetit:

If he is not a character that will be a central focus point, adding him to the regular cast list doesn't make sense. They have a story to tell and hiring an actor, no matter how popular and loved, to the regular cast when his character isn't going to be used in most of the episodes just doesn't make sense as they have to pay him for all eppys even if he's only in a few.

I just want him back for season 3 and hope that we won't have to have a huge gap of non-Desmond eppys in between ones that he's in.

HIC may also have other commitments pending that we don't know about. When Damon and Carlton were talking about him, it did sound like he was going to be playing an important part in season 3.

When Damon and Carlton were talking about him, it did sound like he was going to be playing an important part in season 3. I agree that it did sound that way but you are right. He may have commitments that we don't know about and ... like Michael Emerson ... his status could change at any time. :biggrin:

But. . .but. . .but. . .with the Penny and Widmore and Dharma connections, how can he NOT be crucial to the storyline? :dizzy:

If there are prior commitments, then I wish his agent would get on the ball and HYPE them! Isn't that part of what she's being paid for?!

All I really wish for is him to survive the blast. If he is alive, (not a ghost, not a memory), than in time anything can occur.

And about the fact that only us fans get his talent, importance aso, I am convinced that it is not so. I read a lot of things around, and many think him a great addition to the show. In fact, I read very very few opinions to the contrary.

He HAS to be OK, yeah? :thumbup:

And "if" he has prior commitments, they may not be able to comment on them yet (that happens often in this business).

But I totally agree that the tie-ins that we've been given do lead us to think Desmond is a vital part of the whole story but he might not be as focused on in season 3 since Damon and Carlton have said that season 3 will focus on the Others. But with their also saying there will be more romance in S3, we know we'll see Desmond and Penny.

He HAS to be OK, yeah? :thumbup:

Cannot accept it any different... :mad:

I've heard that (don't think this one is too much of a spoiler)

the major romance line to be developed will be between J/J/K

and also that


Penny will come to the island, looking for Des of course...she will encounter Michael along the way, ask for his help, and he will help her, in part to try and make amends for his prior actions


has anyone else heard about the latter spoiler encounter?

I haven't heard that second one at all. Where did you come across it?



I'm trying to remember! I actually heard/read about it more than once, although, it was awhile ago. ..actually, it was shortly after the season finale and I just remember that it was from someone that seemed to have a good track record with this kind of info.

I've been off my game lately and just thought of it now...and posted it because I can't remember and was hoping someone else would! Well, I'll keep trying...(lot of dead brain cells though...I grew up in the 60's!)

I've read that too, about Penny and the island but isn't it kind of a logical progression? I don't think getting to the Island is going to be that easy. It could take P more than a season to actually locate it (right now it's a blip on a map) and I'm sure there will be interference from her father, some information learned about the properties of the island, that there's a disease there and all the rest. Her life will be in danger (just guessing). She will probably be our source for real information. I have a feeling the Others only know part of the story.

Yeah, that, and Fenry said it so surely to Michael: <You won't be able to come back> (cannot quote exactly..) I think it is not the first time I hear this idea, that the island cannot be found from the outside world...

Just like you cannot leave it, unless you follow directions. Des couldn't do it...

Yes, it certainly is the logical progression for Penny - my question was aimed at the second part of that spoiler = meeting Michael along the way...obviously both in their respective boats. Will there be some kind of redemption for Michael? ...wondering if anyone else had heard that
100%

Thank you for bringing up fHenry's comment to Michael again Lea...had forgotten about that...however, every time I watch that eppy which is quite often!) it strikes me that the look on fHenry's face after Des turned the failsail, was one of anger. His eyes open wide (not because of the noise, IMO) and he looks like he's thinking "Man, who used that bleeping switch" He obviously knows what's happened, again, IMHO... he obviously knows how to get to and from the island, or he couldn't have said that to Michael.
I agree with Sam that some of the questions can be answered by the Others...there are a lot more of "in the know" people that have not been seen yet... so we will have to wait and see.
Who knows...maybe fHenry will turn out to be a romantic and help our star-crossed lovers!

Yeah, that, and Fenry said it so surely to Michael: <You won't be able to come back> (cannot quote exactly..) I think it is not the first time I hear this idea, that the island cannot be found from the outside world...

Just like you cannot leave it, unless you follow directions. Des couldn't do it... But keep in mind that Desmond tried to escape before the fail switch was used. Now that the electromagnetic field has dispersed, compasses should work again. The downfall is that now the headings that Henry gave to Michael may not work!

Well, they have delt with an incident before, per the blast door map, and it seems that pushing the button was the outcome from the previous incident. We don't know what the failsafe did or if it put something else on the island into play to take over the button pushing? We don't even know, for sure, if the hatch is destroyed.

True, there are so many possible scenarios to the failsafe issue ...I read that (not sure this is spoiler)the blast will change the physicality of the island and that the losties will find themselves in a very different predicament due to that change.
Also, the already discussed theory of the hatch being lined with titanium and therefore indestructable. I think the only thing we know for certain about the failsafe incident is that it made the island visable again.

I'm not sure the hatch was lined with titanium, I think the piece of metal that Sayid was trying to break the cement with was titanium.

S2E4 Sayid: Interesting. Good thing this is titanium... almost no magnetic attraction... but we're not going to get in up here.

I had read that spoiler too. I wonder if it means the weather is going to change drastically. Which would be a shame. No they wouldn't do that, they'd be no reason to be filming in Hawaii.

Thanks for that titanium clarification Sam G. I took the spoiler item to mean that the landscape of the island would change..never thought about the weather..interesting... but then again so is your point about filming in Hawaii. Have you read about the big water tanks they are constructing on the island? I'm thinking maybe the Others have their "home" underwater.

But. . .but. . .but. . .The Others are connected to Dharma/Hanso/Widmore. Desmond is connected to Dharma/Hanso/Widmore! How can he NOT be a part of the story arc?

I are confused! :dizzy:

He IS part of the story arc. Lost is like "6 Degrees of Separation" except in their case... less than 6 degrees. I think Locke hit on something when he said "we're all puppets on a string" Alvar Hanso whoever he is..I've heard he's Jack's father OR Locke's father OR Penny's father, or maybe he's even somebody's mother! (just made up the mother thing) I think he's pulling the strings, or maybe it's really Walt!! This show makes my head itch.
Anyway, our hunky guy is absolutely involved for whatever reason...and I don't care about the reason (I do, really)...just want to see his face when I watch that show
because I :heart: him.

Or maybe

the "physical changes" spoiler is WRONG?

At any rate,

I think the Island was visible only during the time of the energy release.

And

Penny has JUST heard about the Antarctica dudes finding the location of the Island. Now, she has to get an expedition launched. And search that whole region (which ain't small). And find a way to penetrate that EMT barrier! Penny is NOT gonna run across Michael. By the time she gets there, the Pala folks will have sent him and Walt on their way. Penny getting to the Island itself will take time!

Really, I'm much more curious about what The Others' camp is like, what's gonna happen to J/J/K, what has happened to Desmond, Locke, and Eko, and what Sayid's next move is gonna be.

I believe that this other stuff may not come to fruition (or only be vaguely hinted at) until the eppys resume in FEBRUARY, not during the six eppys that run in the fall!

Oh, and

Michael's out of the picture for this coming season. Don't be looking for him.

I think it would make perfect sense as that fail safe being used definitely did "something" and I bet it was more than just change the color of the sky and send out an ear-piercing sound!

I think it was visible for much longer as it seemed to be sending the signal all the time they were contacting Penny. As for your other spoiler I'm not too sure if Penny will run into Michael or not. You make a very good argument. But IF the fails safe made the electromagnetic field go away, it could mess up Michael's coordinates and that could slow him down and possibly make it so that he and Penny cross paths. But it probably is unlikely as you're right that it will take her a good amount of time to set up and expedition and get going. And as for us seeing Michael and Walt in season 3 they're both signed on as guest stars so we will see them during the season but for how much ... who knows?

I'm also anxious to see the Others' camp and where they "really" live! That's one thing I'm really excited about for season 3. Of course, you know what I'm really excited about ... SEEING DESMOND AGAIN! :biggrin:

Thanks for that titanium clarification Sam G. I took the spoiler item to mean that the landscape of the island would change..never thought about the weather..interesting... but then again so is your point about filming in Hawaii. Have you read about the big water tanks they are constructing on the island? I'm thinking maybe the Others have their "home" underwater. Yep, I think I might have posted the article from the Star-Bulletin.

Jane, where did you hear that

Harold and Malcolm had been signed as guest stars? Harold himself has been interviewed as saying he was free to seek work cuz he WASN'T gonna be on LOST this season!

As I understood it, the one Antarctic scientist was yelping at the other Antarctic scientist about how long had that readout announcement been on the computer screen? To me, that says that the satellite or whatever had picked up an EMT anomaly at some point that day, not that it was continuous, and still going on. IMHO, when the energy was released, it created an anomaly that the satellite or whatever picked up on. But when the release was drained out, that anomaly ended.

I really believe that the readout was only for that brief moment of time the EMT was being released. Once it was over, things went back to "normal." Nothing seemed different in Beach Camp when Charlie wandered back into it, that is for sure!

Thus,

there were no "changes" to the Island landscape at all.

Guess we'll see over the course of the first six eppys, yeah? :grin:

I think when the one Portuguese guy said that he was meaning only moments because it was still on the monitor. If it was over, like the first time, then it would have been gone and they would have missed it like they did the first one. There's no way things could go back to "normal" since the fail safe was the way to stop the whole electromagnetic field. As for changes TPTB have said we will see changes and that Desmond's turning the fail safe did "change" things.

I just don't see THAT much change coming out of what happened in the hatch.

It's too long till Sept. 27! :down:

Listen to Jane now STH...I heard everything that she did, as well...

..yea, way too long till Sept. 27th.....

...but we're going to the awards in Los Angeleez so be :jump: , yea?

That's what I'm saying, Jane--we all hear the things we hear a little differently! :grin:

We'll know this fall, yeah? :thumbsup:

Arctic Scientist 1 [Subtitled] What?
Arctic Scientist 2 [Subtitled] How long has it been doing that?
[Arctic Scientist 1 goes over to the equipment and hurriedly looks through a book]
Arctic Scientist 2 [Subtitled] That's it, isn't it? We missed it again --
Arctic Scientist 1 [Subtitled] We didn't miss it!

Hey, I wasn't calling you a liar, Jane! You didn't think that, did you? :unhappy:

I just don't think the Island's gonna be visible that long (if visible it is). That the shield is self-repairing or something. It's not gonna be like Penny can just show up and sail right in! (Though one could wish--I :heart: happy reunions!)

Sorry if I made you think that. :kiss: I just thanked Sam for posting the dialog so we could read what happened and not trust our old brains. ;)

I just don't see THAT much change coming out of what happened in the hatch.

It's too long till Sept. 27! :down: I heard they weren't resuming until Oct 3rd... Is Sept 27th confirmed or just wishful thinking? :redface:

I heard they weren't resuming until Oct 3rd... Is Sept 27th confirmed or just wishful thinking? :redface: Well, Oct 3rd is a Tues so I'm sure that's not when they're coming back.

LOL Okay then. That makes sense! heh... ;)

Damon and Cuse (those geniuses at reading calendars! :rolleyes:) have said in a podcast that the six-eppy arc would start "at the end of September" and go until "the beginning of November." That fits September 27 - November 1 very nicely, I think! :wink1:

October 3rd was the old date that the season 2 DVD was going to be released, that's now been changed to September 5th.

LOL Okay then. That makes sense! heh... ;) Oh! I meant to put a ;) after my post. Glad you didn't think I was picking on you! :biggrin:

Yup. They changed the release date, cuz they changed the Season 3 start date! :biggrin:

Is it Oct 4th yet? Thought I'd throw that in, STH, 'cause you haven't said it in awhile. ;)

It's hard to believe that Desmond came into our lives almost a year ago. When the new season starts, it'll have been one year. Boy, looking at threads like this really makes me remember how excited I was to discover him ... and so happy that the excitement is still going strong! :biggrin:

So, who's getting the S2 DVDs? And who's ordered them already? I'm getting them for Christmas.

I'll probably have to wait for Christmas too (or maybe my birthday 10/9 if my husband is nice!) but moneys tight here atm. Luckily I have Season 1 when I need a fix though...

Yeah, I asked my parents to get it for me for Christmas. Of course, maybe I can convince them to order it before then. ;)

I'm getting it when it come's out...........my gift to myself for being such a great mother, housewife, friend and well, just for being ME!! LMBO.......:roflmao: ...I actually don't have season 1 either.........it's gonna be quite a gift to myself ;)

I don't suppose their a cure? Of course, who'd want one? :D

I always thought "kappa" must mean boiler's a sorority member, or Phi Kappa Phi.

How 'bout it, boiler?

That would make since, STH. Or maybe she's Greek in the ethnich sense.

I'm an April birthday girl, too, Lirpa! :grin:

Why "Boilermakers," boiler? An unusual team nickname, to say the least!

Of course, the university here calls themselves the "Mean Green." Go figure.

Well, that makes quite a few of us that are April babies. April what? I'm the 23rd.
Good month that April is, yea?:hb2:

:thud:
HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY BIRTHDAY, FLOWERS?!

:24:

Yes, I am serious. We both share Shakespeare's birthday! WOW!

When is Ian's birthday? I somehow missed that he was an April baby, too. YAY! :clap:

OMG!!! I can't believe we are the same day...how cool is that? See why I love The Bard so much?..the b'day was just the little added extra. STH, this is just too funny.

Ian is the 17th..an Aries as I'm sure you know...and that makes us both THE BULL!!
I'm lovin' this! :jump:

Well, yes, you and I are full of bull, that's true. . . .:24:

The three of us--you, me, Ian--need to meet and eat :hb2: and :icecream: together! (I'll bring my own diet vanilla :yumpepsi:!!)

Hee, hee..you know we are, STH!!
And you and I are also on an Aries cusp..so that makes us closer in traits to Ian, or so they say...
We should start planning the celebration now..Ian will need time to fit it into his schedule:birthday: :hb2: :party:

True. . .they won't finish filming till early May.

Maybe we need to win the lotto and fly out to Hawaii?

Hey--the :cake: could be pineapple upside-down cake!! :pinapple: :essen:

Oye!!:biglaugh:

Tell you what, if he would have :cake: and :icecream: with us for our b'days...I would start flappin' my arms and fly down there without the plane! But maybe I'll try lotto, first :laughing:

Heck, as long as we're in Hawaii, let's just throw ourselves a birthday LUAU, yeah? :biggrin:

Aloha oui, aloha oui, lalalalalalala...lala

Please pass the poi.......:lol2:

That's the DHARMA poi, flowers! :laughing:

The mods are cracking down. We must keep threads on topic or I fear they are going to close them.

Topic is Desmond, not user names, astrology or any other stuff. I am not trying to be a hard nose here. I just don't want to lose any Desmond threads.

Thanks for your cooperation. And please, don't reply to this post as that will keep the thread off topic.
