I've done it. I've searched the web looking for all the spoilers, rumors, and pure speculation regarding the upcoming season of Lost. The season premieres this Wednesday, October 4, at 9 PM ET/PT in most viewing areas. Check your local listings so you don't miss it!
And, if you don't want to know spoilers for season three, then quietly close the article and move along. There's nothing to see here, nothing at all. Ah, but if you do want to know, read on...
From Kristin at E! Online, I gathered these gems (the commentary, of course, is my own):
Executive Producer Bryan Burk said, "We're opening a whole new world for you in season three." Yikes! Have we even explored the worlds already opened unto us? He promises the show will spiral into new and unexpected directions. Hmm, now I'm a show fan, but I think I'd like to have some more answers before more spirals take place. Burk said the show will delve deeper into the Others; we'll learn more about them as the storylines focus on them.
There is also a new Brazilian "hot" male character to be introduced this season—Rodrigo Santoro and his new friend (or is it?) Kiele Sanchez. Lots of on-screen chemistry is promised. Oh, hot and heavy stuff, eh?
Burk also said the hatch is gone, done, and over with. This season will feature entirely new sets. Eep! But... but... I still have unsolved mysteries about the hatch!
Amongst the teasers Kristin shared for the show, we have the fact (rumor, speculation) that two people close to Sun die. She said they're close to her in very different ways. Hmm... I hope it's not Jin. Or Hurley! Could it be Michael? At least we have a ray of hope with dead characters on this show. Sometimes the dead come back. No, not like in a Stephen King novel... in flashbacks.
The kiss we see in the promos isn't what it seems, according to Kristin. But, there will be another kiss. Is this a Judas Kiss? I don't know. I'm just conveying the information here. Uh-oh. There will be sex in Jack's bed. Will Jack be a part of this? I'm not thinking so. Change those sheets, at least! Sawyer will be shown as a "bonafide wuss". How could that be? Supposedly, he'll have good reason for his wussiness. I guess we'll be the judge of that!
Terry Quinn (John Locke character) said he's been told the show will reveal why he was in a wheelchair, but he can't tell when or how or anything else about it. Heck, these actors don't even really know the skinny on this show.
I found the Spoilerfix site interesting. They mention that while some spoilers are indeed spoilers, the producers and cast often put forth what they call "foilers"—deliberate false spoilers to foil the attempts of the spoilers crowd. That could be a show on its own, it seems. But, it all goes into why I characterized this article with "rumors" and "speculation" in its title. I can't guarantee any of this will happen. We'll have to watch to see what's a spoiler and what's a foiler.

If my memory of time zones isn't faulty, in Hawaii where it's filmed, they'll see it six hours after us. ;-)

Very much looking forward to Lost's return -- and The Nine looks intriguing as well.
