oh brother - two characters I didn't give a spit about.

I don't think this is a big deal of a spoiler.

It'd be a spoiler if he was back on the island.


BUT

Since the series will now have a heavy focus on present day, with flashbacks to three years ago on the island, why wouldn't you think he'd be in the present day stuff?

I agree. My guess it will post-Island stuff. And with Walt's growth spurt (barely hidden during the season finale) I seriously doubt we'll get any "on the boat" material.

I had almost suceeded in putting Lost in the back of my head.

I'm now reminded that we still have nearly a 6 month wait until next season. Guess its time to re-watch starting with season 1 again...

oh man, I forgot about that. Damn.

I never had a problem with Walt and I actually found their father/son story interesting. Michael was even fine until he was reduced to a blathering fool trekking across the island on his own. As long as they don't go there, I'm all for him coming back.

My initial thought was for the "flash-forwards" as well, but how sure are we that they got off the island? I seriously doubt Ben would let that happen. At the time he said he was a man of his word but since then we know he is full of shit. I think they are on the island somewhere trying to get back to camp.

Not to mention what could they have Michael doing in the "flash-forwards?" Going crazy trying to find the island to help with a rescue search? Nope. That is what future Jack is for, it would be too redundant. Plus he never really gave two shits about anyone other than himself and Walt. I don't see him caring enough to mount a rescue effort.

Yahoo had this on their front page last night. I guess they felt it wasn't a spolier, but it would have been nice of them to be a little more considerate.

They've put much worse than this on their front page before. It's one of the reasons why my home page is now the google search page.

Two pages already and we haven't found him yet? Where is he? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT WAAAAAAAAAAAAALT!?! WHere are you???? They took my boy!!! They took my son!!!! WAAAAAAAAAALT! THey took my boy!!!

Don't give a flying rat's ass about Michael (flying rat's ass, that would be wild to see). Don't like Michael. Walt is OK I guess, their flashbacks are uninteresting, even if Walt is important. I like Locke, Jack, Hurley, and Desmond's flashbacks the best.

They had one on How I Met Your Mother, though it was crossbred with a cockroach.

You're mistaken; that was just Neil Patrick Harris.

They must have given him a damn_sweet deal. He really, really did not want to come back. I don't know if he had more movie roles lined up, or if he just got pissed at the production team.

I agree with those who say that Walt & Michael are probably only fit for flash-forwards at this point.

In the last few months from what I was reading, he was saying that he'd love to come back, but had to wait and see if his other show, "Demons", was picked up or not. It wasn't. Didn't sound like he was pissed at the show or anything.

Plus, money has a strange way of making troubles disappear.

Harold had declined to come back last year. Amazing how you will eat your words if you need the money.

Oh, yes, that's right -- it can't be him smartly driving a hard bargain or him choosing to come back now because he thinks they might actually have a decent idea how to use him. He's apparently blown through his money buying coke and needs to work now when he didn't only a matter of weeks ago.

I personally think the show would be better off without him, so this is disappointing news.

That bastard has to pay for killing Anna Lucia and Libby!!!

I don't want him to be a regular but it would be cool to see his story wrapped up over a few episodes.

Harold made a surprise appearance today at Comic-Con...everyone went nuts! Looks like

Nah, just Libby. Guess Hurly never figured out where he remembered her from. Glad he knocked off that bitch Anna Lucia.

apparently, at the Comic-Con, they showed a new Dharma training video that featured

Fuck yeah! Michael is bad ass.

DAMNIT!
