Our good friend Ryan has posted a new blog with two new filming updates about the filming that took place this week.
I am assuming the crew is currently working on episode 6x06 so expect these moments to take place around that time.
Now usually it is what is happening in the scenes that is important but this time it is WHO was spotted!
Here are some details:
1) Early in the week a scene in a Church Kitchen Sayid (Naveen Andrews) was spotted. Perhaps an Alt-Time Sayid during this off-island scene? Also spotted was a new character Lennon, but more importantly the return of Omar and Keamy!!
2) Today's filming including a scene at a high school with Ben (Michael Emerson), Tania Raymonde returning as Alex and Dr. Leslie Arzt (perhaps as a teacher)!!
Additionally a new character played by the recently cast William Atherton was on set!

Happy Dharmaween!!

wow, keamy? that's so awesome. that guy was a friggin badass
KEAMY! Yes!
my god they really are bringing back everyone. jeez
YES! I Loved Keamy!
If Ben, Alex, and Arzt are in a scene together, I officially have no idea what the heck is going to happen in Season 6.
Well it is an alternate time-line, so anything's possible.
i want a sayid and keamy rematch
Alex is a student at the school, the original report says
Very cool! Anything with Arnzt is an epic win!
So, in alternative reality Alex is still Ben's daughter? And her teacher is Arzt. And Keamy is probably jaintor in that school, and Omar works in the school kitchen (and they are a couple)...
My God, are they bringing back all character just to bring them back? I hope they have some logic plan to that.
I thought Keamy died!??
This is interesting because a week ago Ryan reported that as Sayid went to visit Nadia after 815 lands, a suspicious car drives by...and in it was a character refered to the crew as "Omer"or "Omar". It was rationalised that it was Omer, Sayid's bro (one who wouldn't kill a chicken) and presumambly the casting call seems to suggest two kinds who could be Sayid's nieces and Nephews...
But then we get "Omar" as well!!
So maybe we only get one of them, or maybe both...who knows!!!???
(Unless Florida "Omar" was infact Sayids bro all along!!! Who got upset that his father favored Sayid over him and became a mercenary. But doubtful...)
WOW! Now I really don't know what the f is going on, but that's just fine.
Keamy? Omar? Man what...
ALEX!?!? And Ben in the same scene? I'm going to go cross-eyed. If Alex is there then where is Danielle Rousseau!?!?
Mira Furlan declined to return because of other commitments but they probably did ask her to be in the alt timeline if they are bringing back Alex.
Well we still haven't had a Jin/Sun sighting for an off-Island scene. I wonder if the sources have just missed those scenes or if they haven't had any yet.
I'm curious to see how the whole Ben/Alex thing is going to work. Maybe Ben adopted Alex or something in ALT.
They are going all out for Season 6, can't wait! :)
The casting of William Atherton is great news. He was such a terrific, smug villain in movies such as Die Hard and Real Genius. Love the guy's arrogance and smarminess. He slightly resembles the man whose picture they used for Alvar Hanso in the Mysteries of the Universe videos, not to say that's who he's playing. Nobody does slimy and smarmy like Atherton. Well, except for maybe Michael Emerson!
KEAMY!
KEAMY!
KEAMY!
KEAMY!
KEAMY!
I they are coming back I want the captain of the Kahuna back too! that guy was great and helped the losties all he could ^^ Btw, Keamy did an awesome job as a badass.
BEN !!! SAYID !!! KEAMY !! DR ARZT !!! ALEX !! Omar ! Lennon ! William Atherton !
Ben, Locke, and Dr Arzt all teachers at the same school well Alex is a student.
Principle Linus has a nice ring to it.
If I may ask why does everyone think it is for certain a "Alt-Time" and not the original timeline/glimpses of passed timelines?
It seems like revisiting the original / pass time lines would make much more sense.
1) Deepen insight into the pasts of characters we know and love.
2) Give deeper meaning to the connections we have seen through out the show.
3) Way of showing their growth through out their journey.
4) Meaning to another timeline not just to take up a third of the season so we can visit past characters.
5) Meaning to the flashbacks we have seen all along.
(Glimpses into each characters past timeline{s}.)
I must have missed something in the spoiler section that makes it clear so I would appreciate knowing why everyone is a 100% certain about it being a "Alt-Time" and not the orignal timeline/past timelines.
Fascinating...it's like their lives were already intertwined by fate. Jacob just transferred them to the Island.
@Bigmouth...
Well said.
I still like the tidbit that Ben is still raising Alex...just off-island.
Why would 815 not crashing make Ben and Alex off island? Wouldn't they be still sitting in othersville reading books?
Bigmouth, yep. Some key events and some character interactions are just destined to be
My thought: if 815 landed safely, prior to Jughead detonating, then Ben might have decided Alex needed a better education that she could get on the island.
And Keamy might have killed Alex in southern California.
One more thought: if a spinal surgeon didn't land on the island, might Ben have decided to go to one of the best in the U.S. to get his tumor removed?
Remember, Jughead altered events from 1977 all the way to 2004. It didn't just stop flight 815 from crashing, it completely changed that 30 year period. The Butterfly Effect would be a perfect way of describing the chain reaction that would result from the simple act of blowing up the hatch all the way to Ben and Alex being on the mainland and at a school.
Tania!!!
Hmm, I'm thinking that Ben is Alex's mentor and that Rousseau is still her Mom but she isn't shown onscreen - just in a photo or talked about.
While my comment still stands, I think it'd be awesome if alt-Keamy is the most gentlemen of gentlemen, as it'd totally fit with the "Butterfly Effect" side of things.
I've already thrown out the idea that Ben is the titular "Substitute" teacher. The best teacher that any kid could hope for. Inspiring, intelligent and always looking out for the kids.
Wouldn't it be GREAT and an awesome twist if Keamy was the parent that he's "best friends" with (in that teacher-parent way). What if Keamy's kid was Ben's star pupil and Ben takes the time to congratulate Keamy on raising such an awesome kid?
I just think that'd be a great little moment.
Season 6 is going to be weird as hell, but I have hope that I'll like it.
keamy is awesome cuz hes a badass.
KEAMY - Hell Yeah!!
Andrew Sparkes, that would be a cool moment. Still trying to figure out where all of this is leading to though.
If we get Keamy and Omar maybe it could be giving us more insight into the Widmore and Ben battle. Since Keamy was hired by widmore afterall.
To those saying alt timeline my personal opinion is that they will be a small portion of the show like flashbacks were cuz they are still filming on island stuff right now. LA X will probably be an exception and im guessing it will be a lot of alt timeline
Lostmio: Wow...that's dark...but I like it!
Lostmio: Holy cow...love the idea of Ben going to Jack to have his tumor removed!
OMG Keamy returns?! That's so freakin awesome, I flove him!!
ARTZ! KEAMY!
ALEX!
OH DEAR LORD!
I'm dreadfully sorry about the caps. I'm just excited!
Unless part of a 'backstory' involving Widmore somehow, the idea of Keamy and Omar returning makes no sense at all (even in an A.U.) at this stage!
These 'spoilers' we've been receiving certainly haven't done anything to 'clarify' possible future plot lines at all this year. TPTB must be sniggering and rubbing their hands together Dick Darstadly style as we wrench ours in desperation in the meantime.
"oh the pain, the pain......"
It's still fun speculating though and S6 will be amazing.
If the swan was never built... then Keamy and Omar WOULD be alive... if there is an Alternate Time Line that is. Not too hard to grasp
I'm thinkin one more episode of ALT, then Linear the rest of the way, because it seems everyone is meeting up in the alt too so something is about to go down!!
Also I had an Idea yesterday when thinkin about the spoilers:
What if this ALT is the polar opposite to the other timeline, and so at the same timing that the oceanic 6 left the island and also at the same timing that Ben left, that is the timing they go back to the island.
In other words 108 day after they land in LAX, they all get on the Ajira flight in the ALT and go Back to the island, Locke follows shortly after that, kinda like this is opposite so in this one instead of leaving the island the go back for 3 years.
WHH! - oh wait, nevermind
