Due to the writers' strike, Lost's sixteen-episode season was
cut to thirteen episodes. The storylines for the eight episodes
intended for the second half of the season will be "compressed" into
five episodes. The remaining three episodes will be added to the final
two seasons of the show.

The executive producers offered this explanation for the events
of "The Constant": In 1996, Desmond suddenly traveled forward into his
body in 2004. The people and the locations that were a part of his
2004 self were unfamiliar, which is why he couldn't remember Sayid at
first.

Lindelof and Cuse said that Lost differs from other film and TV
approaches to time travel (Heroes, for example) in that there are no
time paradoxes. Nothing that the characters do during time travel can
change the future or the present. There is no alternate-reality
version of Jack that exists in another dimension.
*
Many fans have questions about "The Constant," particularly
about how Penny's conversation with Desmond (about him calling eight
years later) fits in with their meeting outside the stadium in "Live
Together, Die Alone" (which occurred after the events of "The
Constant"). Damon Lindelof advised fans to listen to Mrs. Hawking's
explanation of course correction in "Flashes Before Your Eyes."

We will find out if Juliet is one of the Oceanic Six within the
first five minutes of next week's episode.
*
"The Other Woman" will shed light on where the remaining Others
are; Episode Eight will give us an even better idea of what they've
been up to.
*
Richard Alpert will appear again this season, but Cindy the
flight attendant might not.
*
In the "Eggtown" flash-forward, Jack said that eight people
survived the crash, but two didn't make it. The identities of the two
people who are supposed to have died before rescue is not significant.
*
According to Damon Lindelof, there are certain "special places"
on the planet that relate to the show's mysteries. Medenine, Tunisia,
is one of them, and Ayer's Rock in Australia is another. The DHARMA
polar bear was found in Tunisia in "Confirmed Dead," and Rose and
Bernard went to a faith healer near Ayer's Rock in "S.O.S."
*
Kate's flash-forward episode was called "Eggtown" because the
plot focused on Kate's possible pregnancy and because Locke was fixing
eggs for Ben at the beginning of the episode.
*
In "Eggtown," Charlotte and Daniel were testing to see if the
island affects memory. The 815 survivors are not experiencing memory
loss. Carlton Cuse said that it's possible that Daniel sustained a
head injury on the way to the island, and it's even more likely that
he had a pre-existing condition before coming there.
*
Daniel Faraday and Ana-Lucia's ex-boyfriend, Danny, are not the
same person.
