Summary by: The ODI
In which we preview tonight's episode of Lost — the first of five installments to air over the next six weeks — with a cryptic bit or two from executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof.
This week, something special as we celebrate the return of Lost from its strike-induced spring break: We're going audiovisual with a video tease. Check out this clip, in which ''Darlton'' preview tonight's episode, ''The Shape of Things to Come,'' with a little help from friends Michael Emerson, Josh Holloway, and Jorge Garcia. (By the way, don't let the fact that I interviewed the producers on April Fool's Day scare you. Everything they say is legit. I think.)
To their tease, I would add this: ''The Shape of Things to Come'' also happens to be the title of a famed H.G. Wells book, which also spawned a movie written by the author called, more simply, Things to Come. When I asked the producers what the episode and Wells' work have in common, they said it basically boils down to one word:
Basra.
I leave it to you to investigate further for now. Tune in tomorrow for my recap, in which I'll offer my highly theoretical and mildly incoherent two cents.

For those that can't watch it, there's nothing new if you've been reading the previous spoilers.
Happy LOST Day everyone!
I don't think I can take much more excitement. Not a lot new in the vid, but always cool to see Josh, Jorge and Michael giving us their insights.
Thanks Dark.
Indeed, a good video regardless. People should try watch it. Cheers Dark :)
Ooooooooooooooh god I think I'm just gonna go to sleep now and set my alarm for 9:00 tomorrow night...
I think that pic in TV Guide saying the freighter folks are coming, with Sawyer, Claire and Miles, staring in horror, and Ben looking angry is when Smokey attacks. And I think it's Smokey that kills Alex. Smokey may be revealed to be Ben's enemy.
The interview with D&C leads me to believe that Ben has completely lost control of the situation. The people who think he is still manipulating everything are still buried in old concepts, just like the people who still think Dharma is behind everything.
This sounds like an incredible episode to come back with! I am very curious about the time and space implications with Doc Ray. And it looks like Sokey is back! What if he defends the island by killing the freighter folks who invade? That would be awesome!
I think Rousseau is not dead and that she is going to shoot Keamey in the head from somewhere in the trees before maybe finally dying of her wounds. She will have followed them out there.
This will be after Ben commands the smoke monster (which I think is also the thing that made the phone ring and say the code 14J) to basically kill everyone else. Keamey, I think, will be the last Freightie standing.
WOAH - This and HG Wells' novel of the same name have one thing in common: BASRA!?
Isn't that what Juliet reminded Sayid of in 3.16 One of Us? Something to bring him shame at Ethan's tree...
I didn't expect that to come up in a Ben FF... Wow... That's the piece of Sayid's PAST we still need...
Double Crossing Telescopic Two for One Ass Whooping? What?
I think Alex is dead as a doornail, and while I would love for Ben to be genuinely upset and wanting revenge, I think it would be more interesting if he lets her die to save himself.
My bet is on Ben lets her die to save himself. Oh, yeah. That sounds like him. haha. I really can't wait till tomorrow. I have to wait till it gets uploaded to watch it. I'm in BsAs right now.
I think the fact that Alex ends up in the custody of Keamy pretty much discloses who did the shooting but maybe that interview was filmed before the promos were released.
The thing that stands out for me is Emerson's line about jumping around in time and space. If you couple that with an earlier quote about Ben appearing in many places and travelling extensively I think events are going to gravitate closer to science fiction than I for one, ever expected. I honestly thought that time travel and the like was something that would be used ever so sparingly and confined to specific characters but now it's almost as if the writers have realised that they've dug themselves some serious and awfully mysterious holes and the only way out of them is by climbing up some sci-fi ladders. Not necessarily a bad thing either I might add :)
Jumps around in time and "space", ummm does that really mean what its implying?
Double-Crossing Telescopic Two-for-One Ass Whooping!
hmm double crossing - 'double cross, An act of betraying an ally, a friend, or an associate'
my moneys on ben shot karl and dani - two for one, betraying alex.

NO CHANCE! It's the Freighter group with Keamy, That is already known.
I just want to know how much control "if any" does Ben have over the Smoke Monster.
Michael Emerson is always giving slightly spoilery interviews, and the latest ones imply that we're going to find Ben more sympathetic soon.
Since Alex is not in any of the photos, I'm betting she's the major character who gets shot in the head, by Keamy, and that this is one of the items that serves to make Ben more sympathetic. I think one of the things that isn't too ambiguous about Ben is that he loves Alex. I still don't think he'd put her in harm's way on purpose.
Could be wrong though. Ben's a wiggly little fucker!
josh is so hot! loved the vid! :)
According to Wikkipedia: "The city of Basra has a major role in H.G. Wells's 1934 future history "The Shape of Things to Come" where the Iraqi city is at the center of a world state emerging after a collapse of civilization and becomes in effect the capital of the world." It also states that in Arabic Al Basra means either "all seeing" or "place where all come together."
