Jimmy Kimmel Loves LOST

I want to begin this blog with two reader shout outs:

First to Nate and Lindsay, for the insightful theory on the Temple and Sayid. Everyone should check it out, it is posted in the comments section of the post titled "LOST Questions TBA". Great work guys, and your ideas definately have my head spinning with questions and possibilities.

Second, good work Brett for finding another hidden image in the Entertainment Weekly photos. He found Ben standing on a badge, which looks like a LAPD badge. Good eye Brett.

In other news, Hurley said 'dude' 11 times during LA X, parts 1 and 2.

Question that is burning my brain today: Why was Desmond on the plane? Did he sail around the world, but since there was no island, he made it to Sidney? I'm not sure. What do you all think?

Burning answer of the day: According to LOSTPEDIA, the X in LA X stands for alternate reality. Apparently, the X is used in lots of comic books to stand for alternate reality. Good to know.

Now to the real business of the day. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night, following the premiere episode of LOST. Jimmy asked them to play a game, "Coincidence or Not" and they obliged. I've listed the questions and answers below. Some answers are very exciting!

Question:
When we see Charlie on the plane in the season premiere, Desmond disappears.

Answer:
Coincidence, not intentional

Question:
We did not see Michael or Walt on the plane.

Answer:
"Fate", this was intentional

Question:
We did not see Shannon on the plane.

Answer:
Intentional

Question:
The premiere was on Groundhog's Day, and now we're seeing the same thing over again, but a bit different.

Answer:
Coincidence, not intentional

Question:
The space between LA and X in the season premiere title "LA X".

Answer:
Damon and Carlton joked that it was a typo, but then admitted it was absolutely intentional

Question:
The dinner on the plane was Lasagna.

Answer:
Coincidence, not intentional, and for the record it was "vegetarian lasagna"

Question:
On this flight Rose is calm and Jack is nervous, where as in the first flight Jack is calm and Rose is nervous.

Answer:
Absolutely not a coincidence, very intentional

Question:
Jack spills his vodka when he pours it on the plane.

Answer:
Not a coincidence, and Damon/Carlton also pointed out that Cindy gave Jack one less bottle of vodka, which was also intentional

Question:
Hurley is reading the book Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard.

Answer:
Intentional, Not a coincidence

Question:
Smokey is symbolic of American dependence on foreign oil.

Answer:
Umm, no.

Question:
John Locke is possessed by Smokey.

Answer:
No, Smokey is Flocke. No possession.

Question:
Will we see more of the numbers?

Answer:
Absolutely, we will be seeing much more of the numbers in the next few weeks.

Question:
Jacob is inhabiting Sayid's body after he is bathed in the murky Temple water.

Answer:
Something is inhabiting Sayid, but watch a few more weeks and the theory may evolve.

So those were the questions, some funny, some very insightful. Watching Damon and Carlton is always a real treat, you can tell they love LOST just as much as the fans do.

Finally for this Saturday afternoon, Jimmy put himself into a scene from the first episode of this season. It's pretty hilarious and below for your viewing pleasure.



Have a great sunny Saturday! See you all tomorrow, when we enter a new LOST week.
