TRANSCRIPT

Ryan: Final warning! It is now spoiler time. It's where I do most of the talking and Jen, for a few minutes each week, wishes she really wasn't married to me. Well, on our last podcast, we had a lot of reports, starting with Jacob's beach temple, and Locke, and Ben, and Albert, and jungle filming in Waikane with Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Miles and others, presumably picking up at the Swan Station. So we got a strong sense from those reports that things were picking up in both timelines exactly where things left off at the end of season 5. I think that was encouraging to you.

Well, what a difference two weeks make. Things really picked up after Labor Day weekend and the big scene that was shot was indeed LAX. Yes, that's the title of the first episode of season six was a major set shot here in Honolulu. Los Angeles International Airport played by Honolulu International Airport. The production crew ventured over there, and they also used Pier 2, across from Restaurant Row. And Pier 2, by the way, had already been used previously as an airport scene for a scene with Sun during season 5.

In any case, it was a big to-do and pretty much the whole cast was there. Everybody you might guess, or even dread. Sighted over those two days were Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, the marshall -- whatever the actor's name is -- Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, Naveen Andrews, Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim, and Emilie de Ravin.

Of course we knew she was coming back as Claire. Dominic Monaghan -- Charlie. I guess that could be shocking. Also, Daniel Roebuck, everyone's good friend Dr. Arzt, and the guy with heartburn, good old Neil Frogurt, played by Sean Whalen.

So it looks like again, friends lost are found once again. So a number of scenes unfolded there for the airport. Inside Jack is freaking out at an airline counter. He's saying, "My father's funeral is in just two hours " and it seems something has happened to his father's coffin.

Jin and Sun are there and Jin is once again only speaking in Korean and unfortunately, being a bit of a jerk again to his wife. Kate, meanwhile is in the handcuffed custody of the marshal, but after arranging a visit to the bathroom, it appears she gets away. So there you go, she escapes.

Jen: Of course.
Ryan: As Kate makes a break for the door, she passes Hurley and says, "Hey!" to him, then she jumps the line of the taxi stand. That makes someone mad; it turns out it's Neil Frogurt and she gets into a cab and it drives away. The marshal emerges soon after and he runs to some security guards, waving a piece of paper with Kate's picture. He tells them to keep an eye out for her, but he notices the cab, then runs after it. So that was some pretty cool stuff. Thanks to Eric, Casey, and even our friend Mitchell for sending in those scoops. Those were the location shoots, but there was actually a lot of work done at the Diamond Head film stage.

Now, several days cooped up at that studio were, information is, usually and understandably pretty scarce. But fortunately, we just heard yesterday from someone who was working for almost a week, and we'll call her "J" and she served some great notes on the scenes that were filmed there. You ready?

Jen: Yeah.

Ryan: The set, as you may have already guessed, is the interior of Oceanic Flight 815 ,and was a pretty elaborate airplane set with moving walls and everything you might expect to build an airplane indoors. The objective was indeed to recreate scenes from the "Lost" pilot as accurately as possible, as we already saw them, right down to having somebody there with the little video player playing back the pilot so they could compare setups and shots. So definitely some of the things that unfolded there were familiar to us. We have Jack and Cindy, the stewardess everyone's wondering about, and they're bantering once again over weak airline drinks. Rose is there, waiting for Bernard to come back from the bathroom, and, yes folks, turbulence hits the plane. The passengers shake, and they shake more, and they shake even harder, and as you can imagine, on the set it's probably a little more comical than it is going to be on screen, but this time, the flight continues across the Pacific Ocean.

So now we get to things we haven't seen before. We see Bernard. He returns from the bathroom to Rose, and he jokes to her about needing a change of clothes. Cindy runs down the aisle to the back of the plane where our friend Charlie is apparently upset and raising a ruckus of some sort. She ends up actually calling for a doctor. I wonder who that doctor might be. Now the plane does land, oh dear, and a despondent Charlie is first led off the plane with his hands bound.
