Re: Lost
Found out the upcoming episode titles and a summary for the next one. The next several episodes are titled:
Abandoned 2x06 (Shannon focused episode)
The Other 48 Days 2x07 (Ana-Lucia focused episode)
Old Habits 2x08 (Charlie focused episode)
And the summary for "Abandoned" is:
Sawyer's wound becomes life-threatening as he, Michael and Jin make their way through the interior of the island with the tail section survivors. Meanwhile, Shannon is once again haunted by visions of Walt. Also, Shannon's shocking past of her former marriage as well as her manipulation of people prior to the crash are revealed. Plus, there is the revelation on the death of Shannon's father who ended up in the hospital where Jack worked. Lastly, Charlie becomes jealous of Locke's interest in Claire.
In terms of the other upcoming episodes, I'm assuming "The Other 48 Days" obviously will focus more on the Others, and since its centering on Ana-Lucia, her flashbacks will focus solely on what she's been doing on the island since the crash (basically her version of Season 1). "Old Habits", since its focused on Charlie, will follow him and probably focus on his drug addiction (hence the 'Old Habits' title).
As for the novels, found some news about them as well. Apparently,
Lost - Endangered Species is an original story which focuses on one of the background characters of the show (one of the other survivors of 815), not one of the main characters (Jack, Sawyer, Kate, etc). I'll be picking it up to give it a read through to see how it is. The second novel is entitled
Lost - Secret Identity and hits stores in January. Here's a summary for them:
The worldwide hit TV series "Lost", which will be broadcast on Channel 4 from August 2005, takes place on a remote South Pacific Island, where a plane crash has left 48 people stranded. The three novelizations that accompany the show will focus on survivors who are not main characters of the television plot - offering new and compelling stories and heroes for "Lost" fans. These new characters will have original adventures rooted within the show's continuity - they will cross with characters from the show, and even take a background role in major events seen on the series.
The focus of the first novel is a character named Faith Harrington. The first novel hits shelves on November 1, the second two months later on January 1, and the third's release is still unknown.
And the best news of all? Apparently there's a Lost video game in the works...yes, a video game. Here's the blurb:
Lost Game in Development?
According to an inside source at ABC (US), producers of the hit ABC (and Channel 7) television show 'LOST' have been in talks with several publishers about publishing a game based on the series. Our informer tells us several of the main characters have already agreed to be add their voices and likeness to the game.
The game will take place over a period of virtual weeks and will combine action/adventure and RPG elements. The storyline will be set on the same island as the TV show but will have a few surprises which may answer some of the questions from the first season. No other information has yet been confirmed however the game is to be published on PC, PS2 and Xbox.
It's no real surprise to find out that LOST is to be made into a video game, when we find out more information we will certainly let you know.
