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.

Lost Spoilers Blog: "The Cost of Living", Season 3 - Episode 5 of Lost

Usual Warning: If you want to remain in suspense until the broadcast, stop reading now...

These are the pre-broadcast spoilers for Season 3, Episode 5 of Lost on ABC TV in the USA. The Clues blog on this episode is here: Lost Clues Blog, and will be updated after the broadcast.

Ok, another brilliant Lost plan will be implemented by the beach Losties in order to rescue Jack, Sawyer and Kate. Yep, they will go after computer power to assist. So, it's time to go, and go hunting for a hatch computer. The computer has got to lead them to greater knowledge.

Back at the Other’s zoo, on the Other's other island, Jack keeps working his psychological warfare angle from the the fish tank. Another way of looking at his strategy is "turn Julliette" - in case Kate takes Sawyer. It is hard to determine who is playing whom.

The flashback will focus on Mr. Eko’s backstory. From Spoilerfix the episode features Nigerian woman named Amadi who is intuitive and strong and has a son, a violent warlord named Azi, and a sweet altar boy named Daniel.

The title of this episode says it all. – the cost of living. And they are not referring to economic statistics! This is the price you pay to stay alive, or else you die. Indeed, the big rumor this week is that one of our favorite characters dies. That’s right Mr. Eko. I have to tell you I am pretty skeptical about this rumor and my misdirection radar is beeping away on it. The “official” rumor leaked out through TV Guide - who usually gets it right when it comes to Lost - is:

“Next week, a major character (as in a series regular) whose name is not Sawyer will join Boone, Shannon, Ana Lucia and Libby in the big island in the sky. And you're not going to believe who it is. I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes”

The whispered rumor connected to this PR hype is that it is Mr. Eko who dies. Unfortunately the readers of this 100% accurate blog :) should bet this is a spoiler and one of the most loved Losties is a goner.

To the contrary, the flashback for this episode will be Mr. Eko’s. Why spend all the production dollars on someone you are firing? Ok I’m on the fence on this one, leaning to a bye bye Eko. As I said before, here, I would not want any inaccurate spoilers , so I may pull this one. For now it stays. We’ll see.
