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...

Escape Spoilers - Desmond Spoilers

Lost Spoilers ahead ...


The two upcoming episodes of Lost now have a lot of spoilers floating around, some misdirection. Here are a couple of preview clips that show the flavor of what we can expect:

From Not In Portland, Lost Season 3, Episode 7 (this week!): More spoilers details on Kate / Sawyer escape - Juliet double crosses Jack and orders the Others to pursue Kate and Sawyer at all costs, even if that means dead or alive. Just when the unknown Other is about to extract his revenge, and unseen ally, likely Alex (jungle lady Rousseau's daughter) or Karl (Alex's boyfriend) lunges out from a hiding place and strikes down the would-be assassin:

From Lost Season 3, Episode 8, "Flashes Before Your Eyes": Desmond Rescues Claire spoiler clip - this is an extended version of a clip released a while back. Desmond mysteriously senses that Claire is in peril in the middle of Hurley's line, drops everything and runs to the beach evading the Dharma sharks and rescues an unconscious Lostaway. Charlie is a few steps behind.

Lost Returns in One Week

Lost is set to resume its broadcast schedule in exactly one week - with "Not In Portland", Episode 7 of Season 3 of Lost. Can you believe it, we only are up to Episode 7? This hiatus has been a bit of a sore point for a lot of Lost fans, and the producers will not repeat the hiatus in Season 4 of Lost.

The hiatus would have been considered a success if Daybreak, Lost's schedule replacement, had fared better in the ratings race. However it did not, leaving the network filling the schedule until February 7. I was in the evident minority liking Daybreak, and look forward to viewing the remaining episodes on ABC.com when they are released.

Another spoiler leak du jour is that the big reveal of Nikki (Kiele Sanchez)and Paulo (Rodrigo Santoro) will be coming in Episode 14 of Season 3. Not very new news, but repackaged. The preceding episodes where we saw glimpses of these new characters in Season 3 were meant as brief intros, so the ultimate reveal later on is not so shocking. Of course everyone is wondering about their purposes anyway. I heard Rodrigo's contract only runs one year. If that is true, the implication is that he will die or melt back into the unnamed survivors. Of course there could be contract renewal options, so there is no guarantee, only a hint that Paulo will be gone.

Spoilers for Post-Hiatus - "Not In Portland", Season 3, Episode 7

Spoiler Alert: Don't read this if you don't want to know the future of Lost.

*Updated*

Ok, here we go with the new Lost Spoilers Blog. This enry will have the spoilers as best I can expertly and with 2 zillion % accuracy can discern from the vague and muted rumblings from the all-powerful creators ;).

Let's get serious now, after all, Lost spoilers is serious business... NOT.

Ok, let's try again, the producers and ABC’s spin-meisters are out there churnin’ and churnin’ to keep interest in the show during the 13 week hiatus. So, there have been repeated spoiler leaks, not to mention the Lost Nuggets that are being broadcast on Daybreak. One thing about Daybreak: *updated*: I WAS liking it - making me a minority of one! (old: I'm liking it! Surprise Surprise!) *Another update*: It's ratings were terrible, so it's gone (old: It's ratings have not been very good though, so don't worry Lost fans, it won't "spoil" our fun!).

During the hiatus, be on heightened alert for mis-direction and false rumors. (UPDATE: There have been a million already.) A lot of the operatives of the Lost PR machine are itchin’ to buzz buzz buzz buzzzzzzz during the break, so be highly skeptical of spoilers that have not been fully verified in this Spoilers Blog, or on my blog over at LostExposed! After all, as I have said before, we would not want any inaccurate spoilers to appear in this blog, snicker snicker. The Clues blog on this episode is here: Lost Clues Blog, and will be updated after the broadcast.

The "Not In Portland" episode will be picking up after the mid-season finale that originally was broadcast in the U.S. in November 2006. There were several mini – cliffhangers that in true Lost fashion will be fully resolved in Episode 7 … NOT . One that we can count on being resolved is whether Kate runs or does not run. You hear it here with 100% certainty: What will happen is Kate decides to run and takes Sawyer with her.

As for Saywer, he had a gun to his head when we last saw him. Now Kate isn't the type to just kiss and run . So she'll take him along for the ride. While escaping, receive a little assist from Alex who mysteriously still happens to be in the woods, even thought the Others sent her home.

News Flash,..... I mean Flashback: The flashback for this episode will take us to Portland, just like the title says, "Not In Portland". Haha, nice twist huh?

Now Portland is a great place (yeah Portland), but the really good news is that we will learn pieces of Juliet’s back story in this episode. Who is she? How did she get so good with a gun? Why is she an Other instead of a nice Lostie? Did you catch the gun reference? Yes, Juliet is a pistol … expert. Look for her to aim, and pull the trigger, with deadly results. Her aim is more aligned with the Losties than we know, so look for another other to bite the dirt.

Episode 7 Lost Moment Spoiler

This is an Episode 7, Not In Portland, post-hiatus spoiler:

I really haven't been tracking the Lost Moment ads that ABC is dishing now and then. However my interest was piqued between New Year's games by an ad they showed that seemed to compile two of the Moments. They are not really spoilers, since ABC is showing the world.

Regardless of what we call them, here's the scoop:

The Others don't just let Kate and Sawyer waltz away. They put pressure on Jack to ditch them, pointing out that the only reason he is alive is to cure Ben and if Ben dies Jack dies. Ninja Jack says, "I'll take my chances". Then to the beach. Surprise surprise. Kate doesn't have a boat. So much for Jack's brilliant plan. Of course, she's on an island, she needs a boat to get off! Pickett is in hot pursuit, gunfire erupts and then, from behind, Pickett is surprised and incapacitated. Whew.

Another Not In Portland Spoiler

A whole new round of post-hiatus spoilers are swirling around now. We first broke the Not In Portland Spoilers a few weeks ago (follow the link).

As if that was not enough, ABC now has "officially" released a holiday spoiler gift to us, leaked out under the table to Zap2It.com. In this official leak, ABC is quoted as saying:

"Jack is in command, as the fate of one of The Others' lives rests in his hand. Meanwhile, Kate and Sawyer find an ally in one of The Others, and Juliet makes a shocking decision that could endanger her standing with her people."

Pretty vague, huh? Remember that shocking decision is to pull the trigger, as we revealed ages ago! The other Other who helps Kate and Sawyer - that would be Danielle, Rousseau's daughter.

The real spoiler is in the credits for the episode. Ethan is back. This means the episode travels to the Others’ cult-like village again. It’s about time.

Karl also is back! Remember him? He was the guy locked up in the cage opposite Sawyer in Season 3, episode 1. Since Danielle revealed the Other’s offed the kid, this means we get a view of the Others’ village pre-kidnapping, and pre-crash. In other words, another Others flashback.
