Kate is forced to take a shower and put on a pretty dress. She is taken to meet with Henry, who is sitting in a nicely set up breakfast table, with nice utensils, by the sea. He then tells them to cuff Kate, so she can't do anything.

Kate asks why she is being treated that way, and Gale answers he wanted her to feel civilized and to enjoy the moment, because the next weeks are going to be hell for her.

Then we see Juliet trying to feed Jack, but he refuses. She asks a lot of questions, but he answers with sarcasm. Juliet explains that he has to eat and drink because they gave him a medicine that can leave him dehydrated. Jack promises to be nice but atacks her and threatens to break her neck..

Jack tries to find the way out of the room when he bumps into Henry. Jack tells him he will kill Juliet if he doesn't explain why he's being held there.Henry tells Jack that he can do wahtever he wants, since if he (Jack) opens the door, or pushes the button they will all be killed.

Jack doesn't listen and opens the door, liters of water flood the place, Henry runs. Jack and Juliet manage to escape and he asks if that is an aquarium. Juliet explains that is the place where dolphins and sharks are tested.

This is an article from the Inside Bay Area. It contains lots of intresting stuff for all of you "losties" to think about...

Get Lost: One polar bear away from solving TV's biggest mystery
By Susan Young


IF YOU WANT to get a "Lost" producer angry, just float the idea that the people who crash landed on the island really died, and they are all stuck in purgatory to atone for their sins.
"It is not purgatory," says, well, everyone from creator J.J. Abrams to producers Damon Lindelof, Carleton Cuse and Bryan Burk. "How many times can we say that?"

Apparently, not quite enough.

The producers have shut down theories that Walt, the young boy who seems to have psychic powers, is just manipulating all of this. And they flatly deny that this is some sort of dream, and we'll all wake up next to Bob Newhart's TV wife at the end of the series.

Hardcore "Lost" viewers analyze everything that happens in an episode as if they were decoding classified government information. Even casual viewers of the show can't get past the six-degrees-of-separation connections between all the passengers and the sci-fi aura that permeates the island.


And, with any good sci-fi, there are fundamental questions: Are these good people or bad people? More importantly, what does all this mean to the world in general?

Of course, this is TV. So we have to ask: Are these people just jerking us around?

Abrams says he's a great fan of "The Twilight Zone" and that it has influenced his choices on the show. This is the same genius who created "Felicity" and her kooky roommate with the mysterious black box.

He also says that the "monster" that was present in the first season isn't a dinosaur, but that he's sure that what the writers have in mind "can't compare to the viewer's imagination of what the so-called monster really is."

At one point, a source who doesn't want to be named gave a hint as to what was really going on.

"Really watch the 'Special' episode in season one," he said cryptically.

Last summer, producers met with TV critics at the annual press tour and were more chatty than ever about the series' future.

"We aren't going to be like 'The X-Files,' where nothing is really solved," Burk says. "Some mysteries will be solved this season, but even more will be introduced."

Viewers put to work


Viewers have been playing connect the dots for the past two seasons. Flashbacks have included scenes where different characters have actually met, or have had close brushes with one another. Jack (Matthew Fox), the de facto leader of the castaways, seems to have the most ties to the group. Most of the Losties have one thing in common: Almost all have spent time in hospitals.

Jack's a doctor, and in a flashback we learn that his future wife is severely injured in a car crash. The other driver was castaway Shannon's father, whose injuries were too severe for Jack to save him.

Michael (Harold Perrineau) was in a car crash and hospitalized for months. Hugo Hurley was in a mental institution after he believed he caused an accident in which two people were killed. Locke is in a wheelchair. We could go on, but you get the picture.

In the "Lost 2: The Extended Experience" DVD released recently, there's even an interactive that lets people follow all the connections between the players in case you missed any of them.

Producers won't confirm or deny that two characters, Claire (Emilie de Ravin) and Jack are brother and sister, but they have said they will reveal the relevance behind the numbers that keep popping up on the show: 4-8-15-16-23-42.

Adding up the numbers


It takes a mathematician to come up with all the combinations of those numbers that have been used on the series, the most obvious being the numbers Hurley (Jorge Garcia) used to win the lottery and the numbers which have to be typed into the computer in the hatch to keep everything from exploding.

"Lost" premieres at 9 p.m. Wednesday and runs until Nov. 8. It then returns to the air next year with a run to May with no repeat episodes.

Executive producer Burk considers the first six episodes of the new season as "Lost 2.5."

"Think of this fall as a miniseries," Burk says. "Then in the spring, be prepared to go in an entirely new direction."

The "miniseries" picks up with Jack, Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) left hog-tied on the jetty with The Others while Michael and his son Walt (Malcolm David Kelly) sail away. And Hurley was sent off to tell the other castaways to stay away.

Why did The Others want these three? There's speculation that it's because they are the only ones who have seen things that might not have existed in the real world. Jack saw his dead father, Kate saw her horse and Sawyer saw an intelligent boar.

When news that "Lost" producer Cuse was having an attack of loose lips at the TCA press tour ABC party last July, almost every critic there clawed through the crowd to get the lowdown.

What's up with Desmond?


First, Cuse says, Desmond isn't dead. Desmond's the guy the Losties found in the hatch last season (and whom a pre-crash Jack had encountered late one night while running in a football stadium). The love of his life is the daughter of ruthless billionaire Charles Widmore.

(You'll remember that a lot of products on the island, including Henry Gale's balloon, bore Widmore's logo.)

In last season's finale, Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) was caught in a huge explosion from the electro-magnetic field that was disrupted when Locke kept the numbers from being typed into the computer system.

"The hatch is gone. It's over. It's not coming back," Cuse says.

But apparently, no lives were lost. Desmond will be a regular this season with star billing.

In the first six episodes, Cuse says, we'll be seeing Kate, Jack and Sawyer dealing with life in captivity.

"They let Hurley go, so the other characters will know they are now without their leader Jack," Cuse says. "That sets up a whole new dynamic with them. We'll find out what kind of person Sayid is."

The result may not be pretty, Cuse warns.

"The Others turn out to be quite different from what (viewers might have) thought," Cuse says. "And there will be a resolution of sorts between the Jack-Kate-Sawyer triangle."

We'll also be introduced to three new characters.

Jack's new woman


Elizabeth Mitchell comes on as a woman who may — or may not — be one of The Others and looks like Jack's new love interest. (Guess that solves the triangle puzzle). Kiele Sanchez and Rodrigo Santoro will play a couple on the show. Maybe they're castaways we haven't met yet. Maybe not.

"There's going to be more romance on the series this season," promises ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson. "The only note I gave that show is character, character, character, because I believe that's what brings people back."

But for those who are hooked on deciphering the puzzles, at the end of last season the outside world intruded when we saw men at an ice station who recorded a disturbance on their computer. They called their employer, Penny Widmore, to say they think they have found "him."

"We've introduced the outside world and that's not going away," Cuse says.

We know that Desmond's girlfriend Penny is the daughter of Charles Widmore, who also happens to be connected to the Hanso Foundation, creators of the island's mysterious Dharma initiative bunkers and food supplies.

The Dharma symbol has been plastered all over the island, including on the shark that seemed to attack the castaways' escape raft.

Spoiler alert: Some information that follows could be construed as spoilers, so read on at your own risk!

The men tracking Desmond are in a polar region. Where polar bears live.

So again we ask, "Does this explain the polar bear in the first season?"

"Well, the Arctic is the only place where polar bears live," Cuse says. "And polar bears will be back this season."

Which brings us back to that season-one episode titled "Special." Walt is reading a comic book in which you see a polar bear and a dome-like structure with electro-magnetic symbols around it. The dome is surrounded by snow.

The book resembles a 1986 DC Comics graphic novel called "Watchmen," the first of its genre to win a coveted sci-fi Hugo Award. (Now we might know where Hurley got his first name.)

In "Watchmen," one of the main characters is Ozymandias. Think of the stone foot in "Lost's" season finale and consider Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" and its "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone."

Like his poetic namesake, the comic book character Ozymandias thinks he knows what's best for the world. He also happens to have a getaway in the Antarctic: a dome with a tropical world inside.

There's a 1980-ish computer, much like the one in "Lost," in "Watchmen," and a scene on raft with sharks circling.

The graphic novel centers on good and bad, belief in your own potential and psychic powers. There's also a lot of talk about mankind destroying the world — either by damaging the environment or through nuclear war.

Could this be what "Lost" has in store?

Ah, so many layers.

Or just a lot more chain yanking.

Looks like there's still hope for "Jate" fans... Here's a snippet of an article from Newsday. You can read the full article here.

That's right: Jack (Matthew Fox) and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) will liplock at some point in the first six. That's relatable to any viewer, and so are chases and violence. We'll also get to know much more about the Others and their fearsomely creepy leader, Henry Gale (Michael Emerson). Hatchman Desmond is back and will appear in at least five of the first episodes. Will his lost love, Penelope Widmore (Sonya Walger), return? She's important because Penny's the first "off-the-island" character to appear, other than in flashback (the closing seconds of last season's finale).
