Here’s a glimpse at the making of the 100th episode, The Variable.
There are more people than I realized working behind the scenes. Check out the last part of the video, where they’re having a production meeting, and there are so many people crammed into the room that they have to set up rows of folding chairs.
This video is another sneak peek from the Season 5 DVD set
Hand placing four-toed statue on chessboard (Detail from Cuatro Season 6 promo)
The Spanish station Cuatro, which ran the hauntingly beautiful chess-themed LOST Season 6 promo, announced a contest earlier today based on that promo.
Here’s my translation of what Cuatro posted on its site, done with my semi-remembered high school/college Spanish, with a lot of help from Google Translate. It may not be 100% accurate, but I think it’s close enough:
Carlton Cuse, the creator and writer of LOST, just sent a Twitter message saying that the promo Cuatro made for the final season of the series is the best LOST promo he has seen.
We propose a game based on the promo. The original text was not written by Cuatro. Can you tell us who the author is and what work it is from? Answer the question here, and get a photo signed by the stars of the series. The first person with the correct answer will get the prize.
To participate in the contest, you must be registered on the Cuatro site with your full name, address, phone, and email.
At the time I saw this post on the Cuatro site, there were already 11 pages of answers! It’s too late to win, but if you are playing along at home, the answer is below:

Juliet is looking for Sawyer. She asks Miles, down in the security office, if he’s seen him. Miles turns on the video monitors, and there, in black-and-white, they see — The Visitors! Oh no! Lizard people! Run!
I keeed, I keeed. Just watch:

What is Hurley saying?
The entries had references to food, the numbers, code 14-J, Mommies and Daddies, the Oceanic 6, Jacob, Ben, famous telephone catch phrases — and an old Allan Sherman song.
The Winner
The Season 5 Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit
I’d like to order a super-sized pallet of Dharma-Pockets for the next Resupply Drop. Dude, How can you be OUT?
That sounds like something Hurley might really say. And it brought back fond memories of one of the greatest moments of Season 5, when Hurley threw a Hot Pocket at Ben:
First runner-up is Geraldine for another food-related line:
Uh, dudes? They said the pizza will take, like, 4200 hours to get here. Maybe we should try Mr. Cluck’s instead? I have an in.
Hurley does look like he is trying to order a pizza in the picture. Too bad even Domino’s couldn’t guarantee on-time delivery when the destination is Crazy Island.
Mags Magoon is second runner-up for his caption which uses all the numbers:
Yeah, we saw your message on a bathroom wall…for a good time, dial (481) 516-2342…
I’d hate to see what would happen if that call was ever answered.
You can see all the entries on the contest post. Thanks again to everyone who entered!

This is the third sneak peek from the Season 5 DVD
It’s a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the Jack-Kate-Faraday-Radzinsky shoot-out scene in 5×14 The Variable.
Jeremey Davies (Faraday) says
I’m not a fan of weapons. I’m not a fan of gunfire. I’d rather watch Evie shoot a gun, or hand her my gun. I’m glad that they didn’t have me suddenly turn into Action Figure Faraday … although I would like to see that.
He’s so adorable.
Here’s another sneak peek from the Season 5 DVDs. It’s about Daniel Faraday, the Jughead bomb, time travel, and other Season 5 themes and concerns.
Listen, at the very end of the clip, where Damon Lindelof says:
We wanted to flirt with the idea of the erase button, of the do over. We thought this was a really cool place to bring the finale, which is, what if Oceanic 815 never crashed?
How much of a hint is that to what’s going to happen in Season 6?
Is it a hint that Season 6 really is going to be about an alternate timeline where Oceanic 815 will land intact in Los Angeles, as many fans already believe?
Or is this a bit of misdirection, to divert us from the writers’ actual plans, so that come next season, we will be surprised? When Damon says they wanted “to flirt” with the questions of Oceanic 815 never crashing, does he mean the kind of flirtation that will never be consummated?
