Lost Spoilers: Enter 77, Season 3, Episode 11

This is the Contender's Lost Spoilers for "Enter 77", Lost Episode 11, Season 3. In this episode's spoilers, a new Lost number, 77 enters. That makes it "Enter 77". Great title, checkmate.

This Lost episode has a Sayid flashback, and also focuses on his commando raid on Patchy's domain on the Lost island. Patchy is the resident of the Dharma Flame hatch, with an eye patch. We also know from past episodes that Sayid was in Paris. In this episode what he did there is revealed. We will meet an Iraqi couple living in Paris named Sammi and Farrah.

Sayid, Patchy Lost Spoilers: Patchy is the man who Locke (and Paulo the hope from Brazil played by Rodrigo Santoro) saw on the video feed. Patchy turns out to live alone in an isolated house, with his pet cow. Sayid gives his gun to Kate so she can cover him, while Sayid approaches Patchy unarmed. Being unarmed is to be unthreatening. Of course that is the best possible plan to seem unthreatening, since there isn't a small unthreatening sweet girl like ... uh Kate to send in. So instead they send in the unthreatening Iraqi Commando torturer Sayid, and what happens? Surprise! The big Lost spoilers are, well Patchy does feel threatened. So he shoots Sayid. Then Locke and Kate close in and rescue the nice torturer Sayid from him. Here is a video sneak peak on this scene:



Some of the spoilers for this episode involve the Others. In the aftermath of the commando raid, we start to learn a bit about the Others' purpose on the island, as Locke plays chess on the Flame hatch computer entering 77, might it be? There will be an Internet aspect to deciphering this episode, which will be introduced on Wednesday.

Sawyer Lost Spoilers: Sawyer is single and the old Sawyer back spoilers! He wants his stolen stash and he goes back into the barter business. He challenges the beach Losties to a game of ping pong to get it back from them. Here is a sneak peak of Sawyer having some fun with his friends Hurley, Charlie, Paulo, Nikki, Jin and Sun. In the funniest line, he says to Nikki (Kiele Sanchez) and Paulo, "who the hell are you?" A question a lot of people are asking. Wait 3 more episodes to find out.



ABC has its usual official Lost spoilers press release on this episode. This one is pretty vague, and short.

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.

Jack Arm Art Lost Spoilers

Ok arm art = tattoos. Yet again the Contender's Lost Spoilers has reported with 100% accuracy the future of Lost. The spoilers of course are tattoos on hero Jack's arm. If you believe the comments, a lot of people are getting annoyed that Jack still is the focus of so much of the show. But hey, he carried Lost for a while didn't he? I don't remember.

Anyway enough reminiscing with Jack and let's look at the new spoiler, that really isn't new if you have been keeping up with the spoilers Lost here.

Yes, tattoos on Jack's arms are going to be a focus. Lost Moment 13, the final and good luck not spoiler is upon us and what do you know? The nasty new Other is taunting Jack with the meaning of his tattoos. She implies Jack does not know the meaning. And their meaning is ... sorry no Chinese language spoilers available here... Do you know? Click here to see what one person says.



That is Lost Moment 13. Lost Moment 12 was Kate and Sawyer rowing back to the big Lost island. And for the hundred millionth time, Kate says stop Sawyer, we must turn around and get Jack (my other love). Do they get back to the big Lost island? Yes. Otherwise, Sawyer can't drink a beer and kick back with Jin with skelly and a VW bus.

Lost Moment 11 - Skeleton

A humourous Lost Moment ... nice fit for my blog... Jin and Sawyer are sharing some beers, and Sawyer is teaching Jin some "important" English language phrases. Check out the skeleton next to Sawyer. Recently Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) gave an interview spoiler that Lost will lighten up a bit after the break. The video confirms that.

Final Episode Lost Spoiler: Kate Chooses

The outcome of the final episode of Lost now has been determined with 100% certainty :) REALLY, Maybe. Known only to the Contender's Lost Spoilers Blog network and its legion of readers ... oh, and 12,000,000 people on YouTube.

Here are the answers:

• Yes, Kate chooses Jack over Sawyer ;)

[Update: This video has been taken off YouTube as requested by Disney/ABC. We have pretty good memories of the content and if there is enough interest will expand on the summary that is already here.]


Oh, one more thing ... Notice the Black Rock sailing ship in the background as "Jack" gazes at the island? That's a real spoiler, really. Expect more on the Black Rock.

Spoilers: Lost Survivor Guide, Kate and Claire

Deep in the recesses behind the scenes, and heard by our vast network of Lost Spoilers Blog informants, there has been considerable unease inside ABC and the Lost team about the public perception of this season 3. When the recognition started sinking in starting around the end of October, serious thought was given to avoiding the mistakes of other now defunct television series, and also to reinvigorate the Lost audience. You will never hear anyone make a big point of the deliberations, just the tantalizing hints of the outcome. And the fact of the matter is that the first six episodes of Lost this season were nothing short of brilliantly written and filmed.

We already have discussed a lot of the spoilers rolling out about the changes after Episode 9 of Season 3. There have been so many spoilers you have to wonder if this is just the second half. Before we know it Not In Portland will be here and the slew of spoilers will only continue week after week as the season progresses.

One spoiler is the recently announced episode called "Lost Survivor Guide". A nice play on the word "survivor", after all the Lostaways are stranded on an island to survive by their own moxie and wit to outplay, outwit and outlast the evil Others and the smoke monster. This Lost Survivor Guide will not only be to introduce Part II of season 3, but also to set the tone for bringing some new Lost fans on board. The ad campaign in the can will capitalize on this. For existing viewers, ABC is touting that the recap reiterate some hints, clues and secrets that everyone missed. Hmmmm is that the Kate is an Other secret? We think not.

The "guest stars" for Not In Portland have been announced as Robin Weigert as Rachel, M.C. Gainey as Mr. Friendly/Tom, William Mapother as Ethan, Blake Bashoff as Karl, Tania Raymonde as Alex, Michael Bowen as Pickett, Ariston Green as Jason, Teddy Wells as Ivan, Nestor Carbonell as Richard Alpert, Steve Labrash as morgue employee, Kimberly Estrada as Sherry, Rob McElhenney as Aldo and Zeljko Ivanek as Edmund.

Oh, I nearly forgot....Not. Why are there photos of Remington Steele, Moonlighting at the start of this post? Notice they are both couples but at the opposite ends of the romantic spectrum.

On the left there is Remington Steele featuring not quite lovebirds Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist) and Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan). That's Laura with the wide open eyes in the picture. Can't take her eyes of Pierce, and he for her. So what happened? Nothing - not until after the ratings tanked and the decision to cancel had been made. Romantic tension never let up.

Now, on the right there is Moonlighting, featuring the lovebirds Madeline "Maddie" Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) and David Addison (Bruce Willis). So what happened? ... Well, nothing until season 4. In the picture you see they are back-to-back, but touching. Looking different ways, but still close to one another. Then what happened, well they became a couple and ratings tanked.

Conventional wisdom actually being hinted at by the producers of Lost is that Moonlighting tanked after Maddie and David became a couple. But what about Remington Steele? It tanked even though Remington and Laura were apart. There are also are alternative explanations for the demise of Moonlighting's ratings, like, lagging scripts and exiling Maddie to the end of a phone line when Cybill Shepherd became pregnant.

So HEY Lost producers: don't take the wrong lessons from the past!

And HEY Lost Spoilers blogger, why is this a Lost spoiler anyway?

Oh...Yeah ... they don't want to repeat the past mistakes of Moonlighting and all.

This means: Charlie and Claire - although dancing with couple-dom throughout the first two seasons - WILL become a couple sort of and maybe not. First it looked like Claire was accepting Charlie, then came heroine, uh heroin between them. Yet now, have no doubt at all, about the Charlie's back spoiler. Count on the relationship to blossom then become and remain tense, Charlie never quite knowing where he stands ... sort of and maybe not.

Also have no doubt about this spoiler - Kate and Sawyer will not remain a happy pair, white picket fence, doggie and all. Their relationship will be sort of and maybe not as well. It will not be a tidy one and count on circumstances and their own natures to drive them apart, while the affection pulls in the other direction. Also don't forget all of Kate's longing for Jack. Moonlighting Lost will not be, nor will it Steele.
