"Eggtown" CTV Promo
Promo pics for "Eggtown"

Welcome back to Get Lost Thursday! This week's episode is called "Eggtown". Eggtown is a reference to The Great Gatsby, for those who didn't recognize it. What this could possibly mean in relation to Lost is anybody's guess, but if prior interviews are to be believed, this episode is gonna be a big one.

Without revealing much, this episode is all about Kate. We'll get to see who "he" is and what happened when she gets off the Island. We'll also get some deeper insight into what's going on with the Freighter Folk.

Recap
Last week was Sayid's episode, "The Economist". We found out some incredibly interesting tidbits about Sayid's future and also a hint at thing's to come on The Island. At the beginning of the episode Sayid pulls off Naomi's bracelet and finds an engraving on the inside. "N, I'll always be with you. R.C."

We also see that in the future, Sayid is a hired killer for non other than Ben himself. We watch him kill a seemingly innocent fellow on a golf course. And through the course of the episode we watch him fall for a woman who's boss is his next target. Though we find out that something else is afoot and she was onto him the whole time. After Sayid dispatches her, he takes off her bracelet and proceeds back to Ben to have him stitch him up and find out that Ben has a list of names for Sayid to kill.

Entertainment Weekly Interview
Entertainment Weekly got a fantastic interview with Lindelof and Cuse, the producers of Lost. For fear of spoiling things for others I'll provide the link, and a snipet to wet your appetite for the awesome things in this article.

DOC JENSEN: Another popular theory making the rounds is that we're dealing with alternate realities. For example, there are people who think the flash-forwards are merely possible future scenarios, not written in stone.

CARLTON CUSE: We want people to believe in the stakes of the show. The problem with alternative realities is that you never know when the rug is going to be pulled out from under you. We want the audience to believe that the jeopardy is real. Postulating alternative realities would be an escape valve that would be damaging that as a narrative value.

DAMON LINDELOF: You can get away with it in Heroes, where there is an apocalyptic future you want to avoid. But we're doing the opposite. We want to work toward a future where Jack is absolutely miserable and wants to go back to the Island. Everything we present to the audience has to be factual.

CUSE: We want the audience to believe that is THE future. We don't want people thinking, ''Well, since there are five iterations of this, I'm not going to invest in what's happening to the characters.''

LINDELOF: We're not going to tell you that we're against bending the time/space continuum. We are very for it. Carlton and I are PRO time-space continuum bending! But we're ANTI-paradox. Paradox creates issues. In Heroes, Masi Oka's character travels back from the future to say, ''You must prevent New York from being destroyed.'' But if they prevent New York from being destroyed, Masi Oka can never travel back from the future to warn you, because Future Hiro no longer exists. Right? So when we start having those conversations at Lost, we go, ''This show is already confusing enough as it is.'' To actually have characters traveling through time has to be handled very deftly.[/i]

Awesome. Totally. Awesome.
