Lost Spoilers: Left Behind, Season 3, Episode 15

It feels like the Lost season is just getting down to business now. We are seeing the benefits of the rewrites and re-direction that took place last Fall, as the episodes go back to the classic Lost forumula of dishing intelligent mystery and character development.

This is the Lost Spoilers Blog spoilers entry for "Left Behind", Lost Season 3, Episode 15, from ABC TV.

Wasn't the line inserted into Expose' pretty funny, the one about Kate's two boyfriends? Juliet taunts Kate about that in Left behind, that Kate broke Jack's heart, and that is why he told her to never come back for him. He did not want to have to deal with all the Kate drama. So what does she do? Well of course, she went back for him because Jack is her true love, even if Sawyer is fun for her fling. Poor Sawyer alone on the beach. Rebound anyone?

The preview spoilers clip for Left behind focuses on that Juliet-Kate interaction and the ensuing fist fight:




Left Behind is a Kate flashback episode. The official spoilers press release from ABC gives the usual cryptic spoilers hints:

After discovering that one of her own has betrayed her to "The Others," Kate is left to fend for herself in the jungle with Juliet. Meanwhile, Hurley warns Sawyer to change his selfish ways and make amends with his fellow survivors or he may face a vote of banishment.

The spoiler is that Sawyer will not be banished. No fear dude. However, given how hopeless the beach Losties are, would banishment be all that bad?

Lost Spoilers: One Last Stranger Spoiler / Lost Ratings News

I came across this interesting last Lost Spoilers tidbit on TVGuide.com:

Question: Got anything on tonight's Lost?— Don
Ausiello: (Spoiler alert) Kate and Sawyer are going to get rid of some, ahem, excess baggage on their way back "home."

They are implying Karl doesn't make it back with Kate & Sawyer, and may die. I hope he lives, because I like the character, and Alex loves him. Maybe he goes berserk on Kate and Sawyer about "Jacob" and it was self-preservation. We'll see soon enough.

On the Lost ratings controversy, I posted my views in the LostExposed.com Lost ratings thread. Briefly, the broohaha over the low Valentine's Day ratings last week is based on an interpretation of ratings data by an AP reporter, likely incorrect. As with a lot of feeding frenzies, they tend to die out when countervailing data comes in. That will happen on Thursday when Neilson releases its preliminary ratings report. I will discuss those numbers and what they mean for Lost when they come out. Rest assured, Lost will return for Season 4 and 5 - unless the producers decide to do movies instead of TV.

Update: The preliminary numbers are in and ABC Lost went from a rating share of 12 on Feb. 14 to a 13 share on Feb. 21. This is a j0ump of 8-9%, even more impressive from the fact it came on one of the weaker episodes of Lost. Will we see 5000 articles reporting the ratings bump? Let's see. Probably not because it will not validate the media frenzy. If ABC moves Lost back to 8 pm expect even a bigger jump.

Final Not In Portland Spoilers

The hype is on and Lost is leaking fast! It is a finely tuned PR machine. First there were a series of stories on how Lost is going to remind everyone of why they love the mystery of the show. Now the entire next episode – Lost series 3, episode 7, has been leaked.

This is a spoilers blog, right? So why aren’t we publishing the whole thing? First, ABC apparently asked people not to do that. Second it’s just a day away! Our compromise is to give some pretty good spoilers … or misdirection … but not the whole thing:

• Karl – remember him? The nice kid who Alex loves? Sawyer’s cage mate in Season 1, Episode 3 is back. Think Clockwork Orange. We learn why the Others so resemble a cult – which readers of this blog knew months ago on LostExposed.com. By the time this episode is over everyone will love Karl.



• Juliet – the episode revolves around her. “Not In Portland” means she is being recruited to the island, and it’s not in Portland. Juliet is a Dharma recruit, preying on her vulnerability. There will be no doubt that whoever is controlling Dharma is evil.



• Jack - Jack and Juliet have tense moments in the operating room, depicted in the PR photo above.
  
  
• Do Sawyer and Kate get away? Yes, they evade the evil pursuing Others, but no, they still are on the little Alcatraz island. The escape back to the big Lost island is for next week, "Flashes Before Your Eyes", Season 3, Episode 8 of Lost



• Alex – Helps the escape.



• Ben – is Alex's “father”. We do not know if he is a bio dad, or adoptive dad.


Enjoy...
