Some Revelations Over ABC's Television Hit, LOST
By Ryan Parsons | Image property of ABC, full news originally featured at Dark Horizons
What we have is a hottie with a past, an Iraqi skilled in torture, a wife who attempted to flee her husband, and an asian hit man. Couldn't ask for better people to be
cast aways on an island with.
Some Secrets to ABC's LOST
Locke:
This guy has to be my favorite character [played by Terry O'Quinn]. He has
the coolest back-story [one which I refuse to tell in order to not ruining
it for viewers], a bunch of knives, a mystery about his character, his past,
an old nickname as 'Colonel', and an adept ability to survive. Who is this
guy? Well, according to the latest report:
...Locke was based off of the real life philosopher
John Locke... Locke was a strategist...
He apparently is not good or evil, however, he may play a given situation
either way to gain an advantage. It was also said that the monster is sort
of a reflection of yourself. The pilot saw it in horror and he was killed
because he feared the monster. Locke saw the monster with
true awe, therefore, he was able to survive his encounter...
The Monster:
What the hell is that thing? It can knock over objects and throw pilots
into trees. Is it a giant polar bear or did they crash their plane on Jurassic
Park? Why, in the last few episodes, can all the characters now journey
into the jungle without any threat of this monster? The only threats now
are the local bores. Here is a snippet discussing a spoiler on the monster
from Lost:
The monster it's self may not be revealed totally at
any point in the series. It may be, as Paul described it, "a Loch Ness Monster
kind of thing". Bits and pieces of the beast will be shown throughout the
series but a full reveal could prove to be anti-climatic. Still the monster
will be explained at some point in future seasons.
Kate:
Easily the best thing to happen for the gents stranded on the island; talk
about eye candy. Played by ex-Ford model Evangeline Lilly [may be the next
Lois Lane for Superman], she also throws up a mysterious past riddled
with conviction. Clues into the person Kate was, before the crash, are a
set of handcuffs, a mug shot, and the fact that she was wanted by the law.
Jack had his chance of figuring out the person Kate was, but he blew it
[thanks Jack!]. Don't be down though, it seems that we can expect a lot
to be revealed:
A future ep will really bring her [Kate] past to the forefront this
season.
Jack:
Jack, played by Matthew Fox, has really turned out to be the hero for the
show. Not only is he skilled in medicine, but he has the natural abilities
of a leader. If Sawyer would shape up and get over his 'hate myself' tendencies,
he could also become the next leader if something were to happen. Sawyer,
played by Josh Holloway, is big and at least has some wits to him [one of
the only ones willing to go into the plane wreck to recover stowed items].
Sawyer, as I predicted, has a past filled with sorrow making him the purpose
he is in the show. However, his back story showed that there is some decency
in him yet. Anywho, back to Jack. Here is a snippet I found very interesting:
Jack was originally planned to be killed off in the
two hour pilot. The plan was to have someone famous play him and then kill
him off before the middle of the second hour. The team talked about getting
Michael "Batman" Keaton...
Scott and Steve:
Just in case you didn't catch this, there are a whole bunch of other survivors
we have not had the opportunity to meet yet [some we will never meet]. They
kind of just stand off in the background as filler. Scott and Steve, on
the other hand, have recently got some spotlight attention by Michael, played
by Harold Perrineau, mistaking the two of them for one another. According
to the report:
...some of the other survivors will have their turn in the spotlight.
Scott and Steve were introduced last week
and they have some lines in upcoming shows.
Time Period and Length of Show:
This 'mini-series' may last three to five seasons. Each season is suppose
to cover about a month stranded on the island. We should start expecting
to see the characters grow a little facial hair and lose a little weight
[at least the bigger ones].
The Danger from Animals
A new CGI company is now on board to assist with effects needed. In
a lot of cases the animals used in the show are CGI due to Hawaii's restrictions
on the importing of animals. CGI was used for the wild bores
and the polar bear.
Paul also told story about how the extras like to feed the bores when on
break. This causes them to feel sleepy later on in the shoot. The scene
where Locke uses Charlie as bait was one
of the scenes where the bore fell fast asleep once in the
hammock like net...
Well, that's it for now. Can't wait to see what happens next Wednesday on
LOST when Sayid, played by Naveen Andrews, gets taken capture by
what looks to be the French lady with the distress call. To read my first
