Question: Could you give us some info 'bout the future Skate on Lost?—
Jeannette
Ausiello: As I strongly hinted at a few weeks ago, Kate's Jack/Sawyer dilemma
is far from resolved — despite what happened in that cage last fall. "It
would be a bad assumption to assume [the triangle] was over," warns Carlton
Cuse. "For that moment in time, Sawyer was the right choice. But that's not
the end of it, but any means whatsoever."

Question: Will the Jack-Juliet relationship develop into something more than
just captor-hostage story line?— Natalie
Ausiello: Most definitely, says Cuse. "The relationship and the chemistry
between these two characters is something we're really interested in as
writers. Juliet is a really intriguing character. It's not entirely clear how
good she is or how bad she is. What are her underlying motives? What is her
history on the island? And I think her relationship with Matthew is something
that is going to be really compelling as we run into the later part of the
season."

Question: Can you tell me something new about Lost? Anything big or small
would be great!— Joshua
Ausiello: Would you settle for ginormous?! After Lost's press-tour session on
Sunday, Carlton Cuse revealed to me exclusively that he and Damon Lindelof
are parting with tradition and not code-naming this season's top-secret
finale scene after a Jewish bread product. (To recap, Walt's kidnapping in
the Season 1 finale was known as "The Bagel," Season 2's introduction of
Penny was known as "The Challah" and this season's climactic game-changer was
slated to be called "The Matzo.") "We're actually not calling it 'The
Matzo,'" Cuse said. Spoiler: "We're calling it 'The Snake in the Mailbox.' We
were just joking about how scary that would be if you came home and you stuck
your hand in the mailbox and there was a snake in there. So we
thought, 'Well, that's actually a good metaphor for the surprise of our
Season 3 ending.'" And this, my friends, is where things get really spoilery.
[Spoiler alert] When I asked Cuse if he could drop any hints about "The Snake
in the Mailbox," he offered up this fraktastic piece of prattle: "I think
Penny and Desmond's relationship will become something that will be a part of
the season finale."
