5.02 “The Lie” Recap By Gitsie Girl
LOST Theories, Recaps/Reviews, Season 5
Could Jacob be Alvar Hanso? I was thinking about the way we saw him the first time from the window, turned sideways. I know this doesn’t really pertain to this episode, but in trying to make links between old and new information this possibility came to mind.
1. I was also thinking back to some unsolved issues. Like the cages that Sawyer and Kate were in – I know they were for the animals, but what were they doing with the animals and why? And the landing strip that Kate and Sawyer were helping to clear rocks for – another plane coming to the island? Is this where the O6 will land, conveniently, when they come back? Kate’s airplane – did she forget about it? She robbed a bank to recover so why wouldn’t she be obsessing if she hadn’t taken it home with her? Will we ever see Libby’s connection to Hurley in the institution? There are so many for them to wrap up!
2. I was also thinking back to when Ben was looking at those dolls that Annie had made for him and Richard comes in. Ben asks something to the effect of “You remember birthdays, don’t you Richard?” Has Richard harnessed the healing power of the island to also maintain his youth? I like sci-fi and I’ll buy into the time travel, but never aging is going to be a hard sell to me.
3. I have more thoughts but I think I’ll save them for the next post after the recap.
4. So the O6 has been off of the island for 3 years. I can’t imagine that the Losties are going to have to suffer for three years with time moving. Remember that Walt had amazing growth and the writers promised they would explain why. Well, if Walt was off the island for years he would have grown quite a bit. But, if that same time frame was island time it would have only seemed like days. So time off the island is moving much faster than on the island. The O6 come back after 3 years but the Losties only think they’ve been gone a few days to a week.

Lindelof Answers Questions About The S5 Premiere
Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews, Season 5
The Chicago Tribune has published a must read Q&A with Damon Lindelof, where he answers to a few questions about the Season 5 premiere and gives some hints of what’s to come:
We saw the island skipping through time in the season premiere — is it going to stick with a few time frames, or keep traveling a lot in time? Will that aspect of things get toned down a little?
Lindelof: All we can say is, whatever convention we’re using in the premiere episodes — nothing in the show is season-long.
There are actually sort of three acts to the season. The first act is the first seven episodes, the second act is eight through 13, and the final act is 14 though 17.
Every time that you think that the show has settled into, “Oh, is this all about the Oceanic 6 trying to get back to the island and the island is skipping through time,” it changes. But we don’t want to tell you how it changes or what frequency it changes. All we can say is, there are a lot of twists and turns this year.

Here’s another great interview with Jorge Garcia. (Do not read it if you are spoiler-phobic).
TVGuide.com: As an actor, how has the Season 5 storyline been different for you?
Jorge Garcia: The story has been different and a little weird, and I’m just “following along in my book,” so to say. But there is a confidence having done Hurley for now five seasons. There’s a lot more instinct in the sense that I kind of know how Hurley goes now, how he would react to new situations.

Thanks to Jack and Cynthia for the heads up!
In this interview with “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof, we look back on some of the behind-the-scenes decisions for season four, why some fans may be troubled by season five’s emphasis on time travel, and why the worst episode in “Lost” history was also the most important episode in “Lost” history (from a production standpoint, anyway).
What material did you have to leave out because of the strike that you won’t be able to get back to?
I don’t think that there’s anything that just got basically junked. There’s stuff that got truncated, so you’re getting the Cliff’s Notes version of the story. Whereas there might have been an entire episode that was Charlotte’s flashbacks if there hadn’t been a strike, now you get the story but not the flashbacks. I think the complete jettisoning of a story plan would take the whole Jenga tower down. We have to do all that stuff to get to where we’re going. Nothing was so expendable that you could just say we couldn’t get to do this. The show would suffer for it. But the Michael story, we wanted to do something that was more redemptive for him than staying with the bomb and allowing Jin to get to the deck as he was spraying liquid nitrogen onto it. But it ended up having to be that, as opposed to something that was probably more heroic, more emotional, by virtue of the fact that we had to collapse our time frame. Originally, we were going to do an hour less than we wound up doing, and we had to beg for that. We were still rolling film, like, 11 days before it was on the air. It was all we could do to cram everything in there, and you go, “What are the major story points you can play?” and you need to connect the dots. The primary story focus was on the Oceanic Six, and everyone else had to defer. We had to explain how Jin died, and so that gave us less time for Michael’s redemptive arc, and we regret that.

EW Analyses the New Season 5 Sneak Peek
Recaps/Reviews, Season 5, Season 5 Sneak Peeks
Entertainment Weekly’s Doc Jensen has given up on staying spoiler-free and has written an article about the new Season 5 sneak peek:
I love how it gives us a small, forward-moving bit of story that also recaps essential info from last season and sets the stakes for this season–but also evokes emotional character ideas, too. Ben’s sense of mission; Jack’s need for redemption. And I dig the whole idea of Ben now serving as Jack’s tailor. Did he seriously go out and buy him a suit? Why? And, as always, Michael Emerson’s line readings continue to do the show endless favors in terms of imbuing it with mysteries and winky giggles. How do we make sense of that kicker, “Then I guess we’ll never know.” Should we be suspicious? Does Ben know more than what he’s telling, as is usually the case? Or is this some coy wink at the audience? After all, Jack and Ben may persist in cluelessness about what happened to the castaways on the Island following the departure of the Oceanic 6–but we won’t. All signs point to a narrative that toggles between the O6′s efforts to get back to Where’ditgo? Isle and the remaining castaways’ continuing struggle to survive in their weird environs.

Jorge Garcia Reveals New Details for Season 5
Cast and Crew of Lost, Season 5
Thanks to for the heads up.
Kristin at E! Online spoke with Jorge Garcia during last week and revealed some new details for season 5:
1) Who is Hurley hanging with these days? “It’s safe to say I’m working with people who are off the Island—I can even say I’m working with Michael Emerson, Ben. He does most of the talking—and he didn’t thank me once for that candy bar.” Ooh, that stinker!
2) What about Ben’s mission to get the gang back to the Island? “I think Hurley is leaning toward regret of having gone off the Island, but I don’t think he’s at the point where he wants to go back, just yet. But it does seem that the Island is pulling us back, some way or another.”
3) What about Hurley and the glorious dead—are they still chatting? Said Jorge, “Yep, and it seems like it doesn’t even faze Hurley any more.”
4) Last but not least, will the Oceanic Six ever become friends again? “Don’t know. Don’t know at all.” Sob.
