You'd have to download the episodes or if you can just wait, I believe they are going to repeat the episodes over the summer.

I went back and watched that part of the episode again and Sawyer called him by the name "Art" and I assume he is just another of the survivors that has been hanging around in the background til now.

I've not sat down to watch the episode totally, only seen bits and pieces so far but I don't remember seeing the French woman and I know they haven't put the raft into the water yet so I assume you must be talking about the promo for the next episode, which I missed. :( As for the hatch, I suppose there could be some "secret" way of opening it that no one knows about, or possibly the entrance to it is still underground. I do not think "the others" are in it, because it looks too small and besides if someone was in there, Locke would have seen them through the little window... unless there is a tunnel to it that's still underground or something like that.

I hadn't heard anything about a 4th dimension but I've heard several other theories like they are really all dead and "the island" is really limbo -- that they have to get forgiveness for something before being allowed into heaven. I've heard some people say that there never was a crash and the people were tricked into thinking it was a crash because it's really a governement experiment. I'm not really sure what I think.

Apparently that plane has been there the entire time but no one knew about it until Locke had the prophetic dream about it and went looking for it. I thought either Locke or Boone said it looked like it had crashed there about 40 or 50 years ago.

Holloway is 'Lost' at long last
By Kate O'Hare

With the meteoric success of ABC's castaway drama "Lost" -- which returns with new episodes Wednesday -- the career of journeyman actor Josh Holloway, who plays bad-boy con artist Sawyer, has gone from near-zero to off the charts in a few short months. The 35-year- old former model is still coping with all this newfound attention.

"It's been fun," he says in his deep, Georgia drawl, "but it's still shocking at times. I still enjoy it a bit. I haven't been in it long enough to get jaded. Nothing in my life has ever just happened. I've had to seek out my directions in life, and they normally are long and arduous before it gets fun and exciting.

"This was the same, and I expected it to be so. I think it's human nature, we need the pain to enjoy the glory."

Holloway's experience on "Lost" is hardly the first time that an actor in his mid-30s has suddenly catapulted to stardom. George Clooney did it in "ER," and more recently, Julian McMahon did it in "Nip/Tuck." And while he's now a confirmed movie star, Harrison Ford was about that age -- and making ends meet by working as a carpenter -- when he got the role of Han Solo in "Star Wars" in 1977.

"Really?" Holloway says when told this. "He's a big inspiration for the character of Sawyer. I love him, Harrison Ford. That's what I used for my prep. I wanted Sawyer to be a cross between Han Solo and maybe Wolverine -- a little more edge and anger to him, but with the lovable scoundrel that Han Solo was.

"It's such a brilliant character. I love playing, not a bad guy, but a scoundrel. That's the key, to be the guy that you love to hate, not the guy you hate, or else, in the nature of this show, I would have been dead already."

And, since series co-creators J.J. Abrams ("Alias") and Damon Lindelof keep hinting a major character will die at season's end, Sawyer could be dead yet.

"And I still could be," Holloway says. "They remind us of that constantly."

It's not that Sawyer hasn't had his close calls, though. When he's not reading such books as "Watership Down," annoying physician and castaway leader Jack (Matthew Fox) or exchanging double entendres with enigmatic fugitive-from-the-law Kate (Evangeline Lilly), Sawyer busies himself with stashing away whatever usable items he can salvage from the wreckage of the show's doomed Australia-to-Los Angeles flight.

This hoarding got Sawyer into trouble with Jack when, just out of spite, he refused to say whether he had needed medicine. Jack then turned to castaway Sayid (Naveen Andrews), a former Iraqi Republican Guardsman, to employ torture to get Sawyer to talk.

"I really liked it," says Holloway about filming the scene. "I knew it was going to be difficult physically, but I like that kind of stuff. I like getting beat up a little bit. It's normal. I grew up in the country with three brothers, and gosh, all we ever did was to come home with something my mom had to fix.

"So the torture was great, but it was torture, because I'm 35, and I spent 14 hours, two days in a row, on my knees. It was grueling. Yelling, I lost my voice. At one point, I hyperventilated a little bit. It was very interesting, as an actor, to go there."

Regarding the question of whether there are any more like him at home, Holloway says, "They're all computer heads. They're very intelligent. The brother right under me is a nuclear physics major from Georgia Tech, so they're all brainy. I can barely send an e- mail."

He does, though, get a taste of home when he's hanging out with Fox, who, according to fellow cast members, likes to let it all hang out.

"Oh, Matt is unafraid," Holloway says. "He's just secure with himself and his family, and he is not afraid to be nude -- not out in public, but if he's around his house, he don't care, and I love him for that.

"He reminds me of my dad, because my dad was a total nudist. We grew up on a dirt road, way out in the country, no one can see you, so Dad was just walking around naked all the time. So Foxy reminds me of Dad."

While Holloway may get a little nostalgic for home, he doesn't miss modeling. "I have nothing bad to say about the industry, because it provided me with exactly what I wanted it for. I traveled extensively and made some cash. But it's just not fulfilling work.

"Oh, Lord, we made a joke that you carry away your modeling stick, so you could whack yourself on the head a few times right before they shoot, so you don't have a thought and get that far-off look in your eyes. It's really just from being smacked, that's all."

When Sawyer gets that look in his eyes, it's usually because Kate is around. In the torture scene, she took him up on his offer of information in exchange for a kiss that seemed to go on longer than strictly necessary.

"I was looking at that," Holloway says, "going, 'Well, shoot, Hollywood kissing's supposed to have tongue in it -- or is it?' I liked it. It went well. When I watched it and saw the tongue action, I was like, 'Oooh, maybe we shouldn't do that, but my character, of course he's going to go for it.' "

As for the big, two-part finale in May (the final part is reported to be 90 minutes, with the last 30 almost commercial-free) and the mysterious death, Holloway says, "The last three episodes, they're going to answer some questions and create more, but they're going to move the story forward. In the season finale, they're not even giving us a script. We only get our scenes.

"We work for the CIA, I swear."

The Lost Language of Jin
by Angel Cohn

Ever since the Lost castaways crash-landed on ABC's airwaves, the drama's fans have struggled to sort the heroes from the villains. Actor Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin, knows his Korean-speaking character has fallen into the latter bunch because of his domineering attitude toward Sun, his on-screen wife. However, he hopes viewers will warm to Jin as more of his backstory is revealed. Here, TVGuide.com rings up the 36-year-old thesp � previously best known for his memorable guest spots on 24, Angel and ER � to see how he's adjusting to life as a series regular.

TVGuide.com: Have you a favorite crazy theory about the castaways' predicament?
Daniel Dae Kim: I like [the idea] that they are all dead and in purgatory � that they are there for a reason and they have got to seek some kind of salvation.

TVG: How does your role as Jin compare to playing evil attorney Gavin on Angel?
Kim: There is a lot more room to explore the depths of the character. Gavin, as much as I loved him, was more of a functional role. He was there to serve [the villainess] Lilah and provide a foil for her. Jin is a character in his own right, and we're going to watch him develop and grow.

TVG: We finally got more of Jin's backstory in the "... In Translation" episode.
Kim: I think that was a real key to his personality. I think when you see the way his father is, you see the humble beginnings that he came from, you are really seeing his true nature. The Jin that we are seeing on the island has been corrupted by Sun's father and the things that he's been forced to do while he's been working for him. For me, it was a nice reminder of where Jin is going. He's heading back to his roots.

TVG: By leaving Sun?
Kim: For the moment.

TVG: Do you read fans' Internet postings about Lost?
Kim: I used to, but I started realizing that I was taking their comments personally � both good and bad. I needed to distance myself [for the sake of] what I wanted to do with the character.

TVG: How has the response been from Korean viewers?
Kim: I've heard a lot. I'm happy to report that the response has transformed into being very, very positive all around. Initially, I got some negative feedback about the character being stereotypical, but I asked everyone to be patient. I think the patience is starting to be rewarded now. Jin is very far from a stereotype now [that] you understand the specifics of his life and his history. To me, that's the furthest thing from a stereotype.

TVG: Good point.
Kim: I think the Koreans by and large are proud to see themselves represented on the screen. Not just Koreans, but Asian-Americans. There aren't that many well-developed Asian characters on television anywhere. I would argue that Sun and Jin are among the two most developed in the history of television. I'm really proud to be a part of that. I'm so grateful to the producers for taking a risk and putting characters who aren't even speaking English on a prime-time network TV show. It was a huge risk. But I think it has paid off for all of us.

TVG: How hard is it to switch back and forth between speaking English and Korean?
Kim: It is one of the biggest challenges I've ever had as an actor. This is the first role I've ever had where I've been asked to speak Korean. I've had to go back to square one and learn how to approach my character, and my preparation takes a little bit longer than it usually does. That said, it has been a really rewarding challenge; I am so honored to speak the language of my ancestors. It is a way for me to get in touch with my roots and acknowledge that part of me.

TVG: Will Jin complete that raft before the end of the season?
Kim: I think that's a good bet. I think that will be a very important story line as we complete the season.

TVG: Jin is isolated because of the language barrier, but have you personally bonded with your cast mates?
Kim: Absolutely. We all get along really well. The people that I am meanest to on the island are Harold Perrineau [Michael]and Yinjin Kim [Sun], but they happen to be two of the people I'm closest to off camera. It is ironic how that works.

TVG: Are you one of the musical members of the cast?
Kim: I'm afraid I am. Though I'm not nearly as accomplished as Naveen Andrews or Terry O'Quinn. I'm learning guitar, and we get together and just play whenever we can. We bring our guitars to the set and, in between takes, we'll just pick a tune and go.

TVG: Sounds fun. What kind of music do you play?
Kim: I like a lot of alternative rock from the '80s and '90s. I grew up on the Cure, the Smiths, New Order and R.E.M. But because we all play acoustic guitar, we all know the folk songs from the '70s. I was playing Crosby, Stills and Nash with Terry on set. Naveen is like a human jukebox � if you ask him to play any song, he'll play it for you. If you know the lyrics, you've got a band.

TVG: Charlie has his band, Drive Shaft. Maybe Jin should start one, too!
Kim: Yeah, the Lost Boys. [Laughs]

Decoding Lost's Mystery Numbers
by Nerina Rammairone

Lost fans have been madly hypothesizing about the numbers from the March 2 episode. Some are even trying their luck with them in the lottery!

The doomed digits � 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 � came from Hurley's mental-ward pal Leonard, who overheard them while stationed at a naval listening post in the South Pacific.

It turns out the Frenchwoman, Danielle Rousseau, and her team picked up that same transmission and were shipwrecked on the island while trying to investigate it. And the sequence also matches the numerals etched into the mysterious metal hatch that Locke and Boone stumbled upon earlier this season.

Internet theories suggest the numbers can be decoded to reveal a specific date and time, GPS coordinates or even passages from the Bible.

For instance, Matthew 4:8 says, "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them." Hey, maybe the island is purgatory, after all?

"They were not chosen arbitrarily" is all executive producer Damon Lindelof will say of the mysterious figures.

OK, how about this: Those numbers were retired by the New York Yankees in honor of Lou Gehrig, Yogi Berra, Thurman Munson, Whitey Ford, Don Mattingly and Jackie Robinson. "I am a massive Yankee fan, but that ain't got nothing to do with the numbers," Lindelof says.

Well, Lost aficionados, at least that's one theory you can strike out.

got this from someone on another list. Don't have time to post my own thoughts just yet

----- Original Message -----
LOST episode from April 6

Wow-wee-wow once again! I saved this up till after the show aired on the West Coast, so as not to spoil, but it was jam-packed with possible future plotlines, that's for sure!

Charlie, best line of the night: "That dilating thing, how do I look out for that?" Priceless.

Several things struck me about tonight's episode:

1)      Shannon told Sayid that Boone was in love with her�but rather conveniently neglected to mention that they slept together! Also, what will her reaction be, once all has calmed down? Survivor guilt? Remorse that she was not there when Boone died? Relief that there will be no triangle? Speculations about his will and her legacy, if they make it back to the mainland? Also, now that she doesn't have Boone to fall back on, will she be up to her old tricks with Sayid or someone else?

2)      It's the first time in a long time that's we've seen survivors working together so selflessly and seamlessly�on Boone's behalf, on Claire's behalf�

Sawyer dropping the cynical mask for a rare couple of moments, speaking compassionately about Jin, offering Claire food, ready to go back to the cave with Kate and help, ripping open his stash to see if there might be anything else he could offer�and then at the end, smiling at Claire and her son.

Jin responding to the call for help, not knowing what might be in store. Dropping his "silent treatment" of Sun to help communicate what was going on with Claire. And being a mensch to the end of the night, comforting Claire and calming Charlie. Loved all the "dads in the waiting room" expressions from both. And you could see his deep wish for children�will this lead to a reconciliation with Sun? Also loved his moment with Charlie, shaking his head when Charlie would have joined Kate in helping Claire. Again, like Naveen Andrews last week, Daniel Dae Kim showed you don't need snappy dialogue to give the audience a great acting moment.

Michael helping to set up for an amputation, despite his concerns, trusting in Jack's judgment as a doctor. Kate and Hurley each overcoming their medical "ick" moments to do what needed to be done. (and having helped deliver babies, one in an emergency situation, I give her a thumbs up!

3)      Boone, doing what he always does and taking care of everyone else, to the bitter end:

absolving Locke of blame, not asking where Locke was while he himself was dying after getting injured on Locke's behalf

trying to ease Jack's guilt at not being able to save him (in a medical situation that Sun and even Boone pointed out was hopeless and that Bones McCoy could have described as "stone knives and bear skins") trying while in shock and delirium, with a collapsed lung, to speak, to say something about the plane and the radio so that someone would know about them trying to send one last message to Shannon and, given that TV Guide says he will return in some way next year, I'm curious how�in flashbacks? As a ghost? Does he join the spirit of the island to guide Locke? (And will Locke worry that Boone was the sacrifice he had to make to walk again???)

I also find it fascinating that our own poll picked Boone as the frontrunner to die. Are we all tied to the spirit of the island? :) I give Ian Somerhalder mad props�no scenery chewing, just quiet dignity. I do hope it's true that he comes back next season in some way.

4)      Kate once again showing her protectiveness and pragmatism, reassuring Claire in her fears about what the others might have done to her, about her fitness to be a mother. And being totally honest about her fear of incompetence and making Claire take focus so they could both take care of the baby. Very true to life.

5)      JACK IS MARRIED? And plays piano; who knew? Gives his whole triangle a new twist! Is he still married????

Where are we in Jack's chronology? Locke's flashback last week was an earlier one, is Jack's as well? Was it before or after Jack blew the whistle on him? What is the timing here? His father got it together enough to get to the wedding, so was it perhaps earlier? And where was Jack's mom?

Was his marriage indeed a "Tender is the Night"-type situation of falling in love with his patient?

Jack's dad and Boone both talking about "letting go". Hmmm.

6)      No one knows, now that Boone is dead, that there is a working radio in the crashed prop plane! Will they organdize an expotition to check it out? Is it even still working after falling off the cliff? Was the heroin destroyed in the accident?

7)      How soon will "the others" come looking for the baby?

All in all, what struck me most is, again, what possibilities have been opened up for future plots, and this will be great to see how things play out for the season ending episodes.

Which LOST Character Are You?

I got Shannon: People are happy to build your shelter and catch your fish, because you are pretty. Pretty people do not work -- it ruins manicures. Besides, being pretty IS work. Why do ugly people not get that?

Brooklyn-born actor Harold Perrineau has a knack for picking memorable roles. He's played Augustus Hill, the wheelchair-using inmate/narrator on HBO's Oz, spaceship pilot Link in the Matrix films and now Michael, the troubled single dad stranded on ABC's Lost (Wednesdays, 8 pm/ET). A 36-year-old married father in real life, Perrineau's been living it up on location in Hawaii while attempting to unlock the secrets of Lost's mysterious island.

TVGuide.com: ARE YOU SURPRISED LOST BECAME SUCH A HIT?

Harold Perrineau: After we read the pilot [script], we all kept saying, "This is really good, right? Am I crazy? This is good." When it took off, we were all really excited about it and sort of surprised, I guess.

TVG: DID J.J. ABRAMS INCLUDE A WHEELCHAIR IN YOUR BACKSTORY BECAUSE YOU'D USED ONE ON OZ?

Perrineau: [Laughs] We don't know what goes on in the heads of our writers. But I certainly doubt that they worked the wheelchair thing in for me. I thought it was funny, though.

TVG: AT LEAST YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING.

Perrineau: Yeah. Exactly. I remember being on the set that day going, "This is really weird. I'm in a wheelchair, but none of you people are usually here."

TVG: THIS COULD SPAWN ONE OF THOSE CONSPIRACY THEORIES.

Perrineau: It could, like [the castaways] really landed in prison.

TVG: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE OUT-THERE THEORY ABOUT LOST? GOT ONE OF YOUR OWN?

Perrineau: I actually love the purgatory one because that leaves a lot of room for crazy stuff to happen. That is an odd and interesting idea. Mine is more general � I think it's some sort of government conspiracy. Like [it's] a hidden island; they know we are there, but they won't come and get us.

TVG: INTERESTING. WHAT HAVE THEY TOLD YOU THAT WE DON'T KNOW?

Perrineau: They don't tell us anything. [Not] a thing! That makes it sometimes really difficult. Sometimes you get the scripts and you are like, "What? Oh, OK."

TVG: HAVE YOU BONDED WITH MALCOLM DAVID KELLEY, WHO PLAYS YOUR ON-SCREEN SON WALT?

Perrineau: No, I hate him. He's terrible. He's the worst. [Laughs] No, I love Malcolm. He's my buddy. He's really charismatic, smart and funny and open. If you don't bond with Malcolm, it would be really weird, because he's such a great kid.

TVG: IS IT STRANGE THAT AT 12, HE'S THE ONLY KID ON YOUR SET?

Perrineau: It's a little weird because sometimes adult conversation gets a little carried away and we turn around and its like, "Oh, god, sorry." But he also loves it. He's a special one. If he is there, all the attention turns to him.

TVG: THERE IS THAT OLD CAUTIONARY SAYING ABOUT WORKING WITH KIDS AND ANIMALS.

Perrineau: I've got them both [on the show].
It is not about me ever. [Laughs]

TVG: WILL THERE BE ANOTHER MICHAELCENTRIC EPISODE THIS SEASON?

Perrineau: I don't think so. Not so far. Maybe next season we'll start more Michaelcentric stuff. That's a really cool [word]. "Michaelcentric."

TVG: THANKS, BUT WE WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM!

Perrineau: Me, too! It would be really helpful. But what we have now is pretty cool. It almost doesn't matter who he was before. What I'm doing right now is getting off this island.

TVG: THE SHOW IS SO MULTICULTURAL WITHOUT EVER BEING STEREOTYPICAL.
DID THAT ATTRACT YOU TO THE PART?

Perrineau: That is absolutely appealing. When I first got the job, I was fascinated by it. When I started talking to the writers, I didn't even have to say to them, "Can we not do the black-guy story?" Because every time there is a story about a black guy, it is about him being black, and there are issues because he's a black guy. They were talking to me before I even opened my mouth. It has really been spectacular. When the issue does come up, and sometimes it does, it's addressed and handled really well. I really love that. I loved being on Oz and that was pretty multicultural, but at the end of the day, a lot of people were like, "Yeah, but it is a bunch of black dudes in jail." So that felt like defeating the purpose.

TVG: WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MICHAEL HAVE A ROMANCE?

Perrineau: That'd be nice. Everyone else is getting some kissing and stuff like that. I thought there was going to be something with Sun, but I don't know if they are going to keep developing it or not � I certainly hope so. It would be interesting to see how [they'd] handle that with a kid who just lost his mother. There is no sneaking around on an island. So what do you do when you start to feel something for someone? That would be something interesting to explore.

The 'Lost' secrets
By Garry Williams, TV Editor
March 6, 2005

It is hard to believe a series based on the vague idea of a dramatic version of reality show Survivor would become such an instant hit.But Lost has been pulling more than two million viewers a week for the Seven Network and, for the past five weeks, has been battling it out with Desperate Housewives for the title of Australia's most-watched show. Even co-creators JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof said that when they heard the initial idea for Lost from a US network executive, they were sceptical.

"I was told it was about a plane that crashes on an island," Lindelof said. "And I said, 'Where can it go?"' But the pair soon found a few twists. They invented a terrifying, unseen "monster" that stalks the survivors and the idea that everyone on the island has secrets and none of them are who they first appear to be.

"JJ and I came to the same conclusion: if they crashed on an island that was really mysterious and, more importantly, that the people who crashed on the island were even more mysterious, people might want to watch." Lindelof said. The pair wrote, cast, shot, edited and turned in the two-hour pilot in only three months. "It came together very quickly," Abrams says. "The biggest problems were the ballooning main cast and budget.

"The studio said you can have six (main cast)," Abrams says. They ended up with 14 in the main cast, including Party of Five star Matthew Fox as Dr Jack; newcomer Evangeline Lilly as fugitive Kate; and Lord of The Rings' Dominic Monaghan as drug-addicted Charlie. At $13 million it was one of the most expensive TV pilots of all time.

The creators believe the flashback device that allows pieces of each character's past to come to light is one of the secrets of the show's success. But it is full of secrets, so here's 10 juicy ones revealed... without spoiling any surprises.

1) Dominic Monaghan, who plays Charlie, became so frustrated with "monster theories" that he had a T-shirt made with the words "I don't know" printed on it.

2) Here is a hint about the monster -- it's not a dinosaur. Lost creators JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof indicated the mystery would be resolved at the end of the first series, but do not expect a straightforward solution.

3) Abrams is obsessed with the number 47. All his TV shows, including Alias and Felicity, are full of references to 47 and it is no coincidence there are 47 survivors (after the marshall who was taking Kate to prison dies). The other significant number in the show is 40, the number of days in the first series. It is no coincidence that it relates to the 40 days and 40 nights in the Bible.

4) Evangeline Lilly almost lost out on her role because she is Canadian. "We couldn't get her a visa so we started shooting on the first day without her," Lindelof says. "We needed her on day two and if couldn't get her, we'd have had to go with someone else."

5) One of the main cast members will be killed off by the end of the series. "We've been told for sure that one of us will die," Lilly (above) says. "We're all on our best behaviour. I'll do whatever, but please don't kill me."

6) When the cockpit is found, the name Oceanic is seen. It is a fictitious airline but the name has been used in other shows, including JAG.

7) The Australian farmer (played by Aussie actor Nick Tate) who betrays Kate has a prosthetic arm. That detail is a tribute to one of Abrams' favourite series, The Fugitive, which featured a mysterious one-armed man.

8) The actor who plays the monster's first victim, the airline pilot, is not credited. He is played by Abrams' childhood friend Greg Grunberg, who stars as Eric Weiss in Abrams' other hit, Alias. "I didn't know I was going to get yanked out of the plane," Grunberg says. "But if you're going to have a cameo, it's a cool one."

9) Grunberg "saved" Matthew Fox's character. In the original draft, Dr Jack died in the first episode. "I remember reading it and thinking, 'No way'," Grunberg says. "This is the character everybody connects with and everybody loves. You can't have him die, so they rewrote it."

10) There is a big Australian connection to the show. The ill-fated flight leaves from Sydney and one of the main characters, the pregnant Claire (played by South Melbourne's Emile de Ravin), is an Australian -- but all the flashback scenes set in Australia were done in Hawaii.

Sex symbol found in Lost
Louis B. Hobson, Calgary Sun

HOLLYWOOD -- Sometimes it's good to be Lost. Just ask Naveen Andrews, who plays Sayid, the former Iraqi intelligence officer who is stranded with the other crash survivors on the hit ABC-TV series Lost.

"I don't think anybody thought we'd be this popular," says Andrews about the show that has amassed the biggest cult following since The X-Files. Andrews insists he's as much in the dark about what's really going on in Lost as the audiences are. "I've heard all the rumours, including the one that we're in purgatory," he says adding "which is a great idea. Still I don't think it's 'the idea' that the creators have."

Andrews says he finds Lost a bit like "that movie Jacob's Ladder in that it's just mind-blowing. "Of course there's a vast plan. All those gems like the polar bear and all the strange spiritual clues will all be pulled together to end the show whenever that might be." What intrigues and satisfies Andrews even more than the guessing games fans play is the fact the show has turned him into a sex symbol. "I prefer to think it's Sayid, not Naveen, who's sexy but, frankly, it's flattering to be perceived in a sexy way. "What's truly exciting is that people are finding someone who is not white sexy, and I'm all for that."

Andrews's smouldering appeal is at the heart of his character in the Bollywood musical Bride and Prejudice that opens Feb. 25. In this high-spirited musical spoof of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Andrews, 35, plays a wealthy British industrialist who finds and temporarily loses true love with a poor East Indian girl in India. "I said yes because it was written and directed by Gurinder Chadha, who created Bend it Like Beckham. It has the same raucous good feel about it. It has an infectious, joyous attitude you don't find too often in movies these days.

"Let's face it," he adds "it's hard to be lighthearted in this day and age." Andrews is a single father with a 13-year-old son. The boy's mother, Geraldine Feakins, was Andrews's drama teacher. The pair caused quite a scandal when, at 16, he moved in with her. "I was an angry, rebellious kid with equally angry parents. I did not have Jaisal until I was 22. "Fortunately he is nothing like I was. I'm lucky to be alive. I had so much anger to work through." Now that's really being Lost.

Subject: [Truth_takes_time] 'Lost' Questions To Be Answered

According to "The Fuselage", JJ Lindeloff gave an interview to KROC, and though there was not much new in the interview, he did say that by season's end, we will have the answers to three questions:

Why Locke can walk

What is up with Danielle

What Kate's toy plane is all about.

JJ also said we will *not* know what the "monster" is by season's end.
