Is he really the good guy?

Are you ready to face the future?

Why We May Be in for More Flashbacks

This would published today on EW.com in an interview with "Lost" producer Carlton Cuse.

EW: What are the chances that he'll return in one form or another?
Carlton Cuse: The irony of Lost is that a lot of characters work a lot more once they're dead. Charlie could exist in someone else's flashbacks. Look, the island is capable of conjuring up things from people's pasts. It is entirely possible that Charlie will appear in the show again. We've actually talked a lot about it, but to say more about that right now might blow the element of surprise.

He said flashbacks. Hmm...

Things You Need to Know About Lost, Part 3

Don’t let the show’s producers and writers throw you off from this week’s episode. You gotta think like them and look past the surface twist and turns.

Yes, it was clear to me that the woman on the bench was Jin's mom from pretty much the get go. What I didn't get (and I think most people didn't either) was that Jin's father was in on this con. I thank Hunter for posing this possibility. Then I thought about it more.

Jin pretty much disowned his father and told his wife that daddy was dead. Jin is raking in the dough while daddy is still fishing the waters. Daddy wants his cut. Solution? Con it out of them. (Remember how I’ve pointed how things keep coming back to cons??) And frankly, it seemed so obvious that the woman was Jin's mom that I don't think she is anymore. I think Jin's dad just got a woman to play this trick. (No pun intended.) I don't think Jin's mom was a prostitute and I believe she really is dead. But now these two can split $50,000 and Jin never would know. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

Next, Kate really is pregnant. That's the main reason Juliet was planted there. I think Juliet just learned for the first time this week that Sun is pregnant. And how could they have known? I think the Others are only knowledgeable of pre-crash conditions. Why is that? That brings us to this week’s conclusion.

Finally, the producers have latched on to one of the popular "Lost" theories and is teasing the masses. The island is NOT purgatory. So what to make of this past episode's final scene? Simple. The Others staged a fake crash somewhere with no survivors as a way to keep search and rescuers from somehow coming across the island and spoiling their intentions.

This may also be the way they were able to find so much out about the survivors of the crash. Obviously names would be released when they were presumed dead, with certain vital information printed in obituaries and whatnot. With that basic info, more research could be done to dig deeper. Remember, the Naomi chick was looking for Desmond. He hasn't been known to be "dead" and came to the island as a live person, as did Juliet. These people are very much alive.

As is Patchy still. So my theory that Ms. Clugh is still alive is probably a safe bet too.

Oh, and the flare Hurley shot off isn’t what brought Patchy to the group. It was the satellite phone. Remember, Patchy is the communications guru on the island. He probably picked up the satellite phone’s signal and came running.

Guess what? Kate's pregnant. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she is. That's why Juliet is hanging out with her. Juliet and her fertility ways. Remember, she's a mole.

Think about it. That's why they had Kate and Sawyer locked up together. The Others wanted them to get it on. And hopefully make a new one. The Others love babies for some yet unknown reason.

Maybe Rose will be pregnant soon too. Who knows? In fact, who knows where Rose is? That's right...nobody.

Things You Need to Know About Lost, Part 1

It's Tuesday...or prep day before the "Lost" day of the week. With all the shennanigans that goes on amidst the jungles of that crazy island(s), here are some things to keep in mind:

1) Locke didn't blow up the sub. He moved it. That's why he was soaking wet.

2) Nikki and Paulo are dead. They're not coming back. The producers know how much the viewing audience hated their presence. So you never have to see them again.

3) Juliet is a mole. Don't for a second think she's sincere. She may be worse than Ben.

4) The magical box that Ben told Locke about where Locke then saw his father is Room 101. If you don't know what that means, brush up on your Orwell. There's a lot of Orwell in the island.

5) If you are wondering where Sawyer learned his conning ways, he got it all from Locke's father. They're both from Tallahasee.

6) The timeline of the show currently is a few weeks before the tsunami disaster in the South Pacific a few years back. The island is supposedly in the region of the globe (unless it moves). The producers have shown they try to keep up with other events in the world (remember Ben showing Jack the Red Sox won the World Series?). So a tidal wave may be a-coming soon (maybe season final???).

7) I'm still bothered by Eko's last episode. Was he evil along and just conning everyone around? Did he relapse? I just don't get it.

8) Those on the island that have committed some kind of con, past or present:
A) Sawyer - duh
B) Kate - how many different name does she have?
C) Hurley - way to take control of Sawyer
D) Sun - the whole learning Engish thing
E) Sayid - pretending not to be Iraqi at that restaurant
F) Eko - or should that be Father Eko?
G) Ana Lucia - the whole playing "Sarah" the bodyguard thing
H) Michael - took Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Hurley to the Others
I) The Others - it's like the island was full of con men and women already

9) Those who have appeared on the show (and maybe on the island) that have committed some kind of con:
A) Locke's father - total d-bag
B) Jack and Claire's father - does he have any other babies?

10) So are there more cons on the way? Is the whole show a con? Well, in a way it is. It's not reality. So television programming is a form of a con. Even reality TV is a con. Yeah...deep!
