It has been rumored and somewhat confirmed that Widmore Construction, Charles Widmore’s company, is behind the building of the stations of the Dharma Initiative on the island. We also have gathered that Sun’s fathers company, Paek Heavy Industries is also involved. The producers have said that the overall themes for the 3rd season of Lost will be relationships. Between Penny and Desmond, between Charlie and Claire and Others. Also, the first episodes will cover the others and their motivations and governing principles.
There have been rumors about ancient civilizations and how it affected the island and the Others, Losties and more, however, some historical conjectures aside, there isn’t a lot to be gleaned by this. Naturally the foot with four toes is a significant part of the next season, as the producers have mentioned, it will be elaborated on next season.
There are also new rumors surfacing on how the blast doors in the hatch are made out of a nonmagnetic metal called titanium, and that Eko and Locke are still alive.
Summary of spoilers given by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse:
Next season, we will understand the real ramifications of Desmond activating the failsafe and what that did. The central issue of season three will be what did happen. It sounds like Desmond’s coming back. They said they want him back, we want to know why he was in prison, we want to know what happened when he turned that key that affected the entire island. That will become very important. The island was visible but only for an instant. It was also visible for an instant on 9/22/04 when the plane crashed. The foot statue represents the history and archeology of the island. Season three will explore what happened on the island before Dharma arrived in the late 70’s and who was there. The smoke monster will definitely be back in season three. There is a good chance we saw the monster this year and didn’t realize we were looking at it. By the end of next year we will realize what it was and when we saw it. Why did the others take Jack, Kate and Sawyer? Where is their home? That will be the story told over the first six episodes. Season 3 will also be about the main characters and their relationships. They want to service the relationships next year more than the mythology. How Locke got in the wheelchair, how Jack got his tattoos will be revealed in season three.

Until now, most of these things have come true. There have been a few filler episodes in this season, but episodes 1 to 9 in season 3 were pretty fast on action and information. Things have slowed down a bit for episodes 10, 11 and 12 of the third season. Hopefully, we will learn a lot more in the next few episodes, since the Losties are about to confront a seemingly converted Jack at the Others’ camp in episode 13 later on this week.
We got the reason behind a small part of Jack’s tattoo. There is still more left to be answered. Eko is dead and Charlie is marked for death. Hurley’s luck isn’t that bad on the island, but what of the numbers?
I think that Mikhail from episode 11 and 12 had the most information, but one thing that we have to be careful about that, because like before, we have to remind ourselves that all Others lie. And they lie a lot. Mikhail says that his group has been on the island for years and that the man who brought them here was a visionary. And it isn’t Ben. There have been a lot of casualties of Others in this season.
Will they have to replenish their numbers again?
From what has been said, it also looks like the Others can leave the island but not return; since the magnetic event at the end of last season, the sonar buoy, has been disabled. They have commandeered the submarines that were brought to the island by the Dharma Initiative. Mikhail also says that they have been on the island a lot longer than the Dharma Initiative. After an event called the “Purge”, they killed most of the people from the Initiative.
This means that The Others and the Dharma Initiative are two distinct groups. Are there any survivors of the Initiative?
I can not tell you , you wouldn’t understand, you aren’t on the list.
List, what list?
Mikhail to Kate.
What is all this talk of purity. Kate and Sawyer were brought to the Others to join, but they didn’t, or did they? Maybe they were just there to be leverage on Jack. Maybe they only ever wanted Jack to be part of their group.
