| LOST: Rumor Round-Up |
| Wednesday, 09 April 2008 | |
 This week, in place of my regular review (damn you midseason break), I'll instead be covering some of the latest (and strangest) news and rumors about Lost floating around the "internet-o-sphere". This week - we have an odd casting plea, a hint at a season finale snogging, and a character connection so insane that it might blow up your computer screen upon viewing it. Seriously, make sure you have a good surge protector before reading the rest of this article... Dharma-brand MeatLoaf?The first rumor floating around is that musician/actor Meatloaf is seriously pursuing a role on the show. A huge fan of the series (literally and figuratively), Meatloaf has been trying to contact his Calabasas neighbor J.J. Abrams in hopes of securing an ever-coveted guest spot (via the Miami Herald): Charlie and Hurley's love child? Ok, to begin with: I'm going to go ahead and assume that "doing a show" is some kind of Meatloaf codename for "overdosing on cocaine and ham sandwiches, both snorted off a Thailand prostitute's nether regions". Furthermore, I can only guess that Meatloaf's ending to Lost involves having him fly down from the sky on a fiery motorcycle - clad head-to-toe in biker leather, hair flowing in the wind - and destroying the smoke monster with the raw power of his falsetto rock ballads. J.J. - if you're reading this... don't take that phone call. Please, I'm begging you. Let it go to voicemail. Cue the Audience "Wooooooooo"-ing NoiseNext on the list of rumors, our friend Kristen over at E! (yeah right, I wish she was a friend of the site - she's probably never even heard of me) has the inside scoop about a pivotal moment in the upcoming season finale. She asked Damon Lindelof if the rumored "spectacular kiss" that was planned for the finale was still taking place now that the seasons have been drastically shortened. This is the reply she got back (via E! News): Um... probably not. So there you have it. Now we can finally put those "Jack-Sayid-Sawyer Love Triangle" rumors to bed.
Don't Tell Him What He Can't PooNot only does Hawaiiweblog.com reveal that episode 10 involves yet another scene between Jack and Hurley at the Santa Rosa Mental Hospital (post-island), but they let this bombshell drop about the Locke-centric episode 11: Aww, look - he has his fathers kidney! Just... whoa. So not only was Richard Alpert kicking around in the 50s (either through a long life, or possibly more time-traveling shananigans), but was he really there for John Locke's birth!?!? I can't even describe how big that would be. Is "Monumentalimongous" a word? We know that the Hostiles have "been waiting" for Locke for a long time, but since his birth? Painting Locke as some kind of island messiah isn't that far of a stretch for the show, but still... that's just impressive. I can't wait to see how they tie that one into the story. That's it for this week, and keep checking back for more news! Who's doing the kissing? Is Locke the Messiah? Would Meatloaf really do ANYTHING for love? Post a comment below and let us know!
