Executive Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse recap the season finale of Lost, “Live Together, Die Alone” in the latest podcast. This is definitely one worth listening too. Click here to download.

Notes about the podcast:

• Season 3 begins late September and will have 6 consecutive episodes to start, there will be a mini cliffhanger and then a 12 week break. The rest of the episodes will start in February and run straight to the finale with no reruns.
• The foot with four toes will be brought up in future episodes.
• That was not Jack at the end of the episode speaking Portuguese.
• The ramifications of the hatch being imploded will be brought up next season and they hint at Desmond still being alive.
• If given more time the writers would have done the Michael confrontation scene differently.
• The first batch of episodes next season will be about why Jack, Kate and Sawyer were taken.
• More character relationships next season.

The Ausiello Report has posted some casting news for the third season of Lost. The descriptions for the new characters include two women and a male.

Female, thirties, with leadership qualities
Female, early twenties, very attractive
Male, Latino, early twenties, handsome, mysterious quality

Another update in the Lost experience tonight, this time the SubLYMONal site has been updated. If anyone doubted the Sprite connection then this update will leave little doubt that this alternate reality game has been “compromised” by too much advertising. I think its safe to say the Lost experience may have just “jumped the shark“.

The season finale of Lost, “Live Together, Die Alone” answered a lot of questions about the show and raised many more in the process. The one scene that intrigued me the most was the discovery of the foot with four toes. Unless the Dharma Initiative has set up another prop on the island this could only mean that the island was inhabited long before the arrival of the Hanso Foundation.

I believe the writers are foreshadowing a lot of island exploration during season three. If Sayid, Sun and Jin make it back to the beach safely the boat will provide a quick way to travel around the island.

The ruins of this statue bare resemblance to “Headlong Hall” written by Thomas Love Peacock but in his writings the statue had four toes remaining, where the statue from Lost had four toes by design.

Also, Jay and Jack pointed out some of the similarities the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the world, in their latest podcast.
