Thanks to KeepingAwake for the following quote by Damon Lindelof in an interview he did last month but one that I've not seen myself and hopefully a few of you will not have also.
Bankrate: Any clues you can give us since we won't be seeing the show back on until next February (2008)?
Damon Lindelof: I know there are "Save Charlie" T-shirts popping up around. (pause. silence) "The Hatch" imploded according to Locke but there is definitely more to this story. You will get a better picture of what happens later. And Jacob? The answer lies further downstream in the ongoing story. (longer pause). Character names on the show are not assigned without a reason. And yes, that is a clue. I will tell you that the season finale definitely set up season four. It will make you realize that the house you are standing in actually has a lot more rooms than you thought when you came into it.

this is interesting info dark...i do remember reading something about getting more info about the hatch, but not this interview...
thanks for posting... :)
hmm very interesting stuff, i remember hearing also we might find out more eventually down the line.
I'm more curious about the last thing from that quote and the house having more rooms then you thought, wondering if that has to do with the temple they referred to.
Hm... they said that about the house for the season 3 finale too... :D
Ah, I love the house analogy. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy...
I have heard the "house with more rooms" analogy a few times now. I still have absolutely no idea what it means.
And what does the comment about "Save Charlie" tshirts mean? Is he not dead?
The Charlie comment is a bit strange, due to the pause. But they clearly said that he's dead...? I hope they don't smack us with full blown ressurections next season. Dead people walking has been debunked too many times on this show already.
The "house with more rooms" means that there are aspects of the story you don't know about yet. Meaning you interpreted or judged the story only by what you've seen untill now, but new things will show up that will change our view of what's going on.
For example, at the very start it was just the survivors and the island, that was one room, and you though "oh, that's nice room" and you start exploring it, and suddenly you find a door "oh, there is more to this!", I could go on with a nice hatch analogy and so on... :) You get the picture.
We always knew there was more to the hatch implosion. They said at the end of Season 2 that what happened there was a 10 in importance to the show's mythology, and it's only been hit at tangentially.
What I love, if the transcript is correct, is Damon's statement "You will get a better picture of what happens later."
Pardon me for being a linguist, but if that transcript is correct, either we get a better picture of things to come, or later, we will get a better picture of "what happens," which, in reference to the hatch implosion, suggests to me a cyclical reality, or perhaps a way of thinking somewhat akin to Slaughterhouse
Five.
Time loop, anyone?
Wow. A Million Months Away and reading about this show Still gets me Pumped.
i'm getting excited now. still soooo long to wait but at least we are getting drip fed a few details now. i agree with the time loop idea and the hatch was always going to play a major part (i always felt it's purpose was to loop reality to stop time moving forward and the events that we will now see unfold.perhaps from repeating themselves) i think the loop might be bigger than we think though.....
The 'more rooms in the house' comments refers to the flashforwards. Present Island timeline is one room in the Lost house we visit, and flashbacks are another room we'd seen. Flashforwards were a third room that we hadn't first realized was part of Lost.
I think this interview is pretty old, but I'm really glad they're not going to abandon the importance of the hatch.
I'm pretty interested in what all their names refer to....
Charlie alive? I'm getting "The Abyss" flashbacks. You probably recall how, in "The Abyss," the female character was brought back to life after having "drowned" in the freezing cold depths of the ocean. Of course we don't have freezing cold depths, but maybe Charlie is "saved." Maybe Charlie died -- but in the "technically dead" kinda way. Hmmm, have to look up facts and figures regarding drowning victims brought back from the brink ...
I'll echo what adam said...stuff like this does get me pumped up for the new season (don't even remind me how far away that is, tho)!
And folks, Charlie's dead. Let's accept it. If we ever see him again, it'll be in a flashback.
he might be referring to more rooms in jacob's house, or like ya'll said, alot more that we have yet to find out.
@ streborhcaz: Just go with the second one. It's a METAPHOR.
I love how they are still sticking to TOTAL radio silence. Ha. But this did get me all pumped up again i love stuff like this. And the "House" Analogy is exactly what
'Red Moose Studios' said, but it reminded me of (when he was called Zeke)'s speach (In hunting party) sayin "Tell me, you go over a man's house for the first time, do you take off your shoes? Do you put your feet up on his coffee table? Do you walk in the kitchen, eat food that doesn't belong to you? OPEN THE DOOR TO ROOMS YOU GOT NO BUSINESS OPENING?"
If names are significant remember "Charlotte" appeared to drown in icy water only to come back to life. Charlie/Charlotte?
I think that the "house with more rooms" comment is less 'cryptic' and more 'obvious'. I think he is referring to the island setting itself.
When the Losties first crashed on the island, all we saw was ocean, beach and jungle for a long while. Then later on we were introduced to a mysterious hatch and an underground bunker. Then later still we were introduced to the Other's camp (fake camp), a statue foot, more hatches, a cottage, even a whole other island off shore.
What started as a "single room house" became a three bedroom house with ensuite. Perhaps we will soon learn that our three bedroom house with ensuite is in fact a mansion with twenty acres of land.
the house analogy refers to the facets of the show. you walk into the show, you have island stories and flashbacks. after a while, that gets old. then you see a secret door under the stairs, "what's this?" you say. You open it up, and there's this whole world in that room and its called flashforwards. its a pretty straightforward analogy.
I really don't get why people are saying there's no way Charlie could ever come back. First of all: it's LOST, people. Secondly, Desmond had traveled back in time before. Who's to say he won't again?
So I'm definitly pumped about that. And I'm totally one of the "Save Charle" wearers.
Hints that Charlie might have survived? well that would be a first. I hope he's not giving the fans false hope though.
Drowning and no body to bury = ideal candidate for fake death. I'd buy it.
It's nice to know that they realize that the "implosion" excuse won't cut it.
Thank you for recognizing that the hatch was one of the coolest aspects of the show.
Hmmm - that Charlie comment caught my eye - sort of strange, because it seems out of place.
I know better than to get my hopes up, but I like the Save Charlie shirts :)
Ooo, I'm excited about more Hatch info :D
I know it's not likely that we'll ever see what was behind that conrete wall in the Hatch, but I'd sure love to at least hear about it. *fingers crossed*
The names comment, no one seems to have given it much thoughts, concerns or comments... It raised my curiosity. What first came to mind was Jack ===> Jacob ??
