LOST in Fiji

It may be a holiday for some people, but “LOST” was hard at work today bringing the South Pacific to Honolulu. Kewalo Basin, the small commercial harbor in Kaka’ako, was transformed into the Port of Suva, Fiji’s largest port and gateway to its capital city. It was hard to miss the huge “PORT OF SUVA” signs added to the old Kewalo Shipyard building.

The freighter Kahana was docked, and a thatched-roof pavilion and Fijian tour bus stood by.

Is this Naomi’s freighter? Even though she said the wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815 had been discovered in an ocean trench off Bali, the pilot had said he had turned back and was attempting to reach Fiji when the plane broke up over The Island. Or could it be another ship, and another time? Who ends up in Fiji, and when?

All the answers will come in due time. But whoever is on board, I’m sure he’ll make a splash.

Check out the rest of the photos here.

On a purely trivial note, I must admit, I’m curious as to whether Kahana be the name of this ship in the show. Will its home port of Honolulu, Hawaii be a very special shoutout? Hard to say. The name does appear to be painted over an older name, but no doubt these vessels can change hands several times. And the ship’s real home port may have to be displayed on the stern by regulation.

As long as it doesn’t turn up on screen as the S.S. Minnow, I’m happy.

What to Do with the Non-Oceanic 6 on ‘Lost’

The character-centric episode structure of Lost is both a blessing and a curse. In the first two seasons, it was a brilliant way to slowly reveal secrets and connections among the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. Fans and even the writers of Lost quickly realized this was getting stale, giving us sub-par, filler episodes like John Locke’s misadventures on a commune or Jack’s Thailand tattoo.

Surely the flash forward shift helped alleviate some of the problems, but how will the writers deal with characters who don’t make it off the island? For the first part of season 4, they’ve carefully avoided seriously addressing that issue. Of the first eight episodes, four featured flash forwards, two filled in details of how people came (or came back) to the island, one played with the conception of time, and the final one simply featured flashbacks on the island.

With the imminent return of Lost at the end of the month, the producers are really pushing the advertisement this year, in a huge bid to win back viewers. Along with the trailers that can be seen at movie theatres, scifi.com reports posters depicting the fictional Oceanic Airlines from the show, have also gone up, in addition to a fake Oceanic Airlines website. I have to admit that this campaign gets me pretty excited. However, still no word on what will happen being that only 8 of the 16 episodes have been filmed, which is a shame.

The fourth season of “Lost” kicks off January 31st — not long now, right? To tease just a little bit, the “Lost” season 4 poster reveals some interesting tidbits.

Check out the “Lost” season 4 poster, which includes a city skyline reflected in the water and the number 6 (or is it 9, if it goes with the orientation of the skyline?).
