Kate, Rousseau, Patchy (Mikhail), Locke, Sayid Lost Spoilers: The KRPLS crew still are on their 40 mile adventure to Othersville, the cult-like subdivision where the Others live.

While with the search party, Patchy plays mind games on the Losties, like Ben did when he was their captive. In the Canadian promo, Patchy claims a connection with Locke:

Lost Spoilers Clues: "Enter 77", Season 3, Episode 11

This is the Lost Spoilers and clues for Enter 77, Lost Season 3, Episode 10 on ABC TV. This episode was written by Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof and they did not disappoint.

Sawyer, lost no more
In a metaphor for his internal journey, yet again Sawyer gets defeated in a challenge. Lost the poker tournament to Jack and now Lost in the face of Hurley's rousing ping pong performance. After all, Hurley played a lot at the "Institute", er ... "place where I hung out" says Hugo. Sawyer knew he was Lost after the first volley.

The Kate - Sawyer Lost Spoilers for this week really are not spoilers - y if you are one of the thousands paying attention to this Lost Spoilers blog. Sawyer loves Kate and misses her a lot as she explores the island, and he minds the home front, collecting his stash. He lost the ping pong match but is discovering himself.

The best quote was in the Lost Episode 11, Enter 77 Lost Spoilers. Sawyer to Nikki and Paulo the hope from Brazil: "Who the hell are you?" Answers coming soon ... now three weeks, and counting.

Kate, on the path to enlightenment

Locke and Flame Station Lost spoilers - y clues: The eye-patch man was Mikhail Bukunin, a former Ukrainian soldier in the Soviet Union army fighting in Afghanistan. The historic Bakunin was a Russian anarchist living in the 1800 - like an old-style terrorist seeding doubt and destruction. True to his namesake, Patchy - Mikhail weaved a story of a "war" on the Lost island between the Dharma Initiative and the Hostiles, i.e. the Others. Patchy claimed to be the last surviving member of the Dharma Initiative.

Locke the all seeing saw through all the clutter. Computers do not cheat as Mikhail (Patchy) the lying Other said, only humans have that unique ability. So, the chess game was the decryption key to getting access to the secrets of Dharma. Patchy can't play chess, so he never could beat the computer, maybe. In any event, he did not want Locke to get in. He did, and he found the code to enter was 77 if the hostiles, the Others, penetrated defenses and took over the Flame station. One thing Locke learned from the Hatch in Lost Season 2 ... Listen to the Dharma Computer ... press the button. So, Locke figured it out. Patchy and Ms. Klugh (mis-clue) were with the hostile Others ... they had taken over the Flame station... must Enter 77 as the computer and Dr. Marvin Candle requested. Kabooom. Station gone. Or.... if you don't want to learn the secrets yourself Enter 77 ... Complex Locke.

Translation of the Russian language conversation between Patchy and Ms. Klugh on LostPedia:

K: Mikhail. Mikhail! You know what to do. M: We still have another way [out]. K: We cannot risk. You know the conditions. M: There is another way. K: They captured us. We will not give (or let, or betray) [unintelligible]. You know what to do. It is an order. M: We still have another way! K (in English): Just
do it, Mikhail. M: Forgive me. (shoots)

It seems there is another aspect of the Others other credo: When captured, commit suicide.

Sayid the Iraqi commando torturer Lost Spoilers: True to modern day political correctness, the Iraqi commando torturer has to be a complex and deep down sympathetic character, and Sayid toed the party line. The Flame station story paralleled his flashback. In the flashback the Iraqis were stereotypically torturing each other in an analogy to the complexities of real world Iraq. In the flashback, sympathetic Sayid is viewed as repentant, giving mercy to his captive Mikhail, while Frenchwoman Rousseau wants to kill rather than be killed. The Lost spoilers for next week are that Mikhail will follow the Others' brainwashing and take care of business for Rousseau.

What else did we learn? Spoilers, eggs, clues

Patchy and Ms. Klugh were expecting the Losties - as Locke had speculated the first time they saw Patchy on the monitor.

Sawyer misses Kate - splittsville not overville.

The Lost island is BIG - the Kate-Locke-Sayid-Rousseau expedition had been walking for two days. The Lost island is over 40 miles wide - not something that could easily be "Lost", unless it was cloaked, hidden or in another dimension of time and space - Lost Time.

The Creepy Cute Cat: Mikhail had a creepy pet cat named Nadia, after the famous Romanian gymnast. Same name as Sayid's long lost girlfriend. The cat (or another strikingly similar one) also appeared in the flashback as the torture victim's pet.

The Dharma Initiative: Very secret, very smart

The Dharma Initiative: "Would you like to save the world?" Recruiting tool.

The Flame Station: Broken down communication outpost. Beat the chess game and fix it. Enter 77 and initiate the self-destruct sequence if taken over by hostiles. Locke Enters 77.

Locke sees the camera: being watched, but by whom.

Others Took Two Cows: Twins?

Poor Sayid: Tortured by his past and his present, looking to make amends.

Dharma Manuals: Pallet drop instructions, operations manuals.

Flame computer: can arrange a pallet drop, uplink, communicate or self-destruct.

Lost ABC Ratings Spoilers: The preliminary data based on super top secret Lost Spoilers blog data is that the ratings for Lost on ABC rose for Enter 77. However, the Neilson prelim polling data showed a slight decline. What these data mean is the core group of Lost fans returned this week after last week's of decline among the core group, or alternatively the word really is getting around about this Lost spoilers blog and its leaping numbers are not correlating to the wider general audience trend. The theory floated within the inner circle that keeping Sawyer and Kate apart leads to higher ratings and core group interest is gaining data credibility. Under this working assumption, when they come together again, that will spark even greater interest. Another theory is it does not really matter one way or the other and the focus on the relationship this season is a drag on the story development - the general consensus.

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.

LOCKE, SAYID AND KATE STUMBLE UPON A STRANGE STRUCTURE AND ITS MYSTERIOUS INHABITANT, AND SAWYER COMPETES IN A PING-PONG COMPETITION IN AN ATTEMPT TO RECLAIM HIS BELONGINGS, ON ABC'S "LOST"
