Lost Number Mystery Solved?
Producers of ABC's hit Lost told SCI FI Wire that the show will consist of two self-contained arcs in the upcoming third season, while ABC announced that it will answer the mystery of Hurley's numbers in the alternate-reality game The Lost Experience. Speaking in an interview at Comic-Con International over the weekend, executive producer Carlton Cuse said that the third season's first six episodes will stand as a kind of miniseries that will "pick up all the dangling threads from the [second-season] finale ... [and] end up with another cliffhanger and some sort of a first-chapter resolution. And then we'll be back with 16 or 17 straight episodes in the spring." In the intervening 13 weeks, ABC will air its new series Day Break in the Lost timeslot, Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Meanwhile, ABC said that The Lost Experience will culminate with a series of revelations about the show's mysteries. "Currently in phase three of five of the interactive challenge, the meaning behind the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42, which play a significant role on the television series, will be revealed," ABC said in a press release. So far, The Lost Experience has unveiled information regarding the Black Rock and the significance in the title of the DHARMA Initiative. The Lost Experience will continue to the premiere of season three, revealing secrets behind the mysterious Alvar Hanso and the Hanso Foundation, the network announced.
As for season three of the show itself, co-creator and executive Damon Lindelof said: "The sort of big fundamental 'What's-in-the-hatch?' question we feel we want to be addressing in season three is: Who are these Other people? What are they doing on the island? Why have they been taking us? Why did they take Walt? Like, what's their story? And by the end of season three, in much the same way that by the end of season two you knew the story of the hatch, ... I think [people] will have the same level of comprehension for the Others, and the doors will be blown off the show in a really fundamental way, a way that we've started ... setting up in our finale in season two and will begin to sort of creep its way back into the show again."
Separately, TV Guide Online's "Ask Ausiello" column reported that Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro (Love Actually) will join the regular the cast in the fall. Lost returns on Oct. 4. ?Patrick Lee, News Editor
