YEEEAH BOY! SEASON 3 IS COMING! DeGroot
Is there gunna be another recap episode? Malachi
Personally, I'm not that happy about it. I'd like closure. I suppose it's good that it's going along because it means we can have more intricate plots, twists and greater character development. But I do dislike waiting. I never watch more than one TV show, so I guess I'll be going back to Smallville after next week.
I hope season 3 will be the last, it sucks when good shows get drawn out (like Smallville). --Rayne 15:27, 21 May 2006 (PDT)
Same here, hoping that season 3 will be the last... I could live with an open ending or that they even stay on the island, just not being stuffed with waiting for answers on big questions -- Bramme 15:34, 21 May 2006 (PDT)
Hopefully LOST can continue a strong run just like 24 is doing now. I wouldn't mind a Season 4. DeGroot 20:30, 22 May 2006 (PDT)
As long as they continue to work "within the mythology" and explain what's happening without creating new plotlines that contradict events that have gone before (no 'it was all Hurley's delusion', please) then I'm OK with it going on for a goodly long time. Concluding with a decent amount of closure (cf. the Alias finale) is a very classy way to finish; getting yanked by the network with the remaining episodes un-aired (cf. Kitchen Confidential) is not. —Dmuk § 12:51, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
This won't be the last season, they have already written the 5th season. LostRoland 13:50, 2 June 2006 (PDT)
- Really? I'm up for stealing the notes from wherever they've been hidden...Any takers?--Jujo 07:55, 8 June 2006 (PDT)
- Where did you here this? The podcast said they write one every eight days while the episodes are airing. Now that it is summer they probably are slowing their pace down. I would't be suprised if they haven't wrote the first six episodes of Season 3 yet.--CaptainInsano
- I think LostRoland is referring to a statment made by either Abrams or Lindelof (can't remember which) between seasons 1 & 2 that they have an outline for a story arc that runs for 4 seasons. From the sound of it, they have a vague notion of where this is all going and an endgame in mind, but they are fleshing it out and changing things on-the-fly as they go along (like making Henry a major character rather than just a "3 episode and off" character). They don't actually sit down and write episodes that far in advance though. Personally I hope they keep it going for as long as the writing is still good and the story is still fresh...--Isotope23 10:02, 14 June 2006 (PDT)
- I wish that could be possible, but eventually they'll have to tell us what happened and answer the questions or people will lose interest. -brianopp 11:16, 19 August 2006 (PDT)

I am not sure where I read this, but I seem to remember it was from a reliable source.(An interview with someone) Abrams & Lindelof stated that they will leave if ABC tries to extend to 5 seasons.
Days after the crash
Edit
Now the infobox about the episode will contain the days that the episode encloses.
Example: in The Other 48 Days the episode shows the days 1 to 48 after the crash.
Please, help me to calculate the days of all episodes
After added days in episodes I will create a Lost timeline
--Dusuarez 06:30, 23 May 2006 (PDT)
Reruns, Etc
Edit
It looks like Day Break is going to stop LOST for 3 months. Damon and Carlton promised a great cliffhanger before it breaks, however. I think this break sucks, but its a lot better than 2 episodes-break-2 episodes-break. 17 straight episodes after sounds good to me. DeGroot
- Yeah, three months sounds like a long break, but the continuous run of 17 episodes is going to be crazy. Jonathan Fakenham
In the UK we get the whole, uninterupted series in one go, but we have to wait a hell of a lot longer than everyone else! Season 2 has just finished in the US and Season 2 Episode 6 has only just been shown here.--LostCat 12:36, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
i would rather have it all in one go it think, probably because i am used to it, they did a huge break with planet earth and it sucks, i was just getting into it and then u have to wait - Mikey - "so emo, it hurts"© 05:25, 31 May 2006 (PDT)
Conflicting launch dates
Edit
Wikipedia says that the third season launches October 4th, who got it right? --Jambalaya 12:07, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
- I guess the producers of the show would know best, and they said late September on the post-finale podcast, just days ago. Jonathan Fakenham
"Him"
Edit
The 1st episode of S03 is called him according to the same person who spoiled the finale for me 3 weeks before it aired and gave all the details, (example: libby gives Desmond her boat called "Elizabeth" and asks for money, $42,000 to be exact" so I'm believing him.
The producers will announce S03E01's title VERY soon. It will kinda, you know, feed the LOST theorists through the summer, give them something to theorise about and talk about. It's basically a cliffhanger.
Personally, I think "He" is Alvar Hanso or DeGroot. I would suspect that "He" wouldnt be an evil man. As the Others aren't and faux Henry Gale referred to him as 'Great' It would have to be someone great and knowing the LOST writing style it will be someone that will make us go "WOW!" and stay fans over the 3-month break.
- Now, here's a thought. Season one started with Jack, and was about the fuselage survivors and who they all were. Season two started with Desmond the hatch-dweller, and focused pretty much on the Dharma Initiative and the hatch. So, both seasons so far have started from a fresh character's POV and that character has been important and emblematic of the season as a whole. We know season three is going to be all about "the others" (i.e. Not-Henry, Zeke, and the bunch), so my guess is S3E01 is starting from the POV of an "other", most possibly a new guy we haven't seen so we don't instantly recognize him as such. To take that strain of thought a bit further, how about if that character is then revealed as Him just before the screetching Lost-credits appear? Now I'm totally rambling, but this sounds like a very cool idea. Jonathan Fakenham
- Michael Emerson is confirmed to be a regular in Season 3, so maybe it will be from Fake Henry's point of view. --Kahlfin 21:18, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
Is it me or does Christian Shepherd look very similar to Alvar Hanso? Could they be one in the same? Could they be Him? DeGroot
- Yeah, they sure could. But why would Alvar Hanso need to work as a drunk doctor if he's such a big-shot corporation founder? ;D Jonathan Fakenham
- Personally, I think that "Him" will be the person that links Jack, Katie and Sawyer and thus will give the answer to the question "Why Jack, Katie and Sawyer"? Perhaps Charles Widmore? The real "Sawyer"? Hurley (but he doesn't know it as he's gone mad)? Kelvin (not really dead)? Radzinsky (again not really dead)? The options are endless are we are bound to be surprised! --ActiveValue 06:10, 31 May 2006 (PDT)
There is of course an outside opportunity that 'Him' could actually have been the fake Henry. He seemed to be in control of what was going on at Pala Ferry, Alex looked extremely worried(it appears she seems to have a soft spot for the survivors as shown in Claire's episode and 'Three Minutes') and even Tom/Mr.Friendly didn't come across as his cocky self when talking to Henry. Well, it's either that or he's the right hand man to 'Him'(explaining why he alone was possibly trusted to kidnap Locke...if that is true!) Xander Gonzo
Titles?
Edit
- 03x01 The Road Less Traveled - 4. October 2006:
Flashback: Jack Shephard
- 03x02 Somewhere Only We Know - 11. October 2006:
Flashback: Kate Austen
- 03x03 Scorched - 18. October 2006:
Flashback: James "Sawyer" Ford
- 03x04 Was Blind, But Now I See - 25. October 2006:

Flashback: John Locke
- 03x06 The Way We Were - 8. November 2006
Flashback: Tom "Zeke" Patterson"
A lot of these titles are lyrics ofsongs and titles of movies. Somewhere Only We Know is a song by Keane(Not sure on spelling). The Road Less Traveled is an old country song. The Way We Were is so much a chick flick they mention it on Sex and The City. Was Blind, But Now I See are words from Amazing Grace (that probably would make sense though cause Eko is a priest). I don't know anything about Scorched and Buried Alive, but they sound like they could be hardcore rock songs.--CaptainInsano
I heard about this too.--=Lost=Roland2-Hey 13:10, 14 June 2006 (PDT)
- Buried Alive is a biography of Janis Joplin, written by Myra Friedman in 1979. (Although a search on Amazon turned up 4 albums by that name.) No clue about "Scorched" -- Llywrch 13:26, 14 June 2006 (PDT)
- Should these episode titles even be in the article? It seems they have appeared out from thin air? --Jambalaya 13:01, 16 June 2006 (PDT)
The word Scorched shows up in a lot of song titles. Example: Tales of a Scorched Earth - Smashing Pumpkins --Aero*Zeppelin 19:14, 16 June 2006 (PDT)
source on the titles?
Edit
they're plausible, but things like the misspelt poe reference (it's quoth, not quote) make me sorta skeptical --kaini. 20:44, 16 June 2006 (PDT)
I got the titles from Wikipedia (yes, I know it's not the most reliable source, but since we're talking specuklation and theories here, I think it's worth putting those titles up or not, even though we know that the information probably isn't true.
However, on the Wikipedia page for Season 3, it goes into such depth, such as listing the directors and writers for each episode. This is probably all speculation, and the fact that if Paterson was Mr. Friendly's last name, they wouldn't say it until it's confirmed on screen (like with Desmond).
Either way, this is what we have for now.
--Aero*Zeppelin 22:38, 16 June 2006 (PDT)
the titles must be on an official site , how should he otherwise get the names (well , it could be a fake). the titles from season 2 were discoverd short before the episode aired , why now they tell them so early? --Cool Man 0912 05:33, 17 June 2006 (PDT)
There's no titles on the Wikipedia article any more, there's just the "Season 3 Premiere - Title TBA".[1] Unless some one comes up with a reliable source, the titles listed on LostPedia should be removed. --Jambalaya 09:50, 17 June 2006 (PDT)
in addition to the above, shouldn't there be a frogurt flashback in here somewhere? pretty damn fishy... kaini. 11:05, 17 June 2006 (PDT)
Well, can we at least put them on the talk page for future reference in case some of them come true? They seem like good titles, and it might be helpful to archive some of them without saying it's set in stone. Either way, I'm adding them here, since that may be the only suitable place for them now. --Aero Zeppelin 11:27, 18 June 2006 (PDT)
- Those are in no chance the episodes. They said the main characters will have less flashbacks and the background characters will have some.--CaptainInsano

Michael in Season 3?
Edit
I read that Michael wouldn't be back at all in season 3 (I'll look for confirmation), which would mean that they probably wouldn't deal with Walt's growth-spurt either. Has anyone heard this? --Señor Eko 18:43, 18 June 2006 (PDT)
he should appear like walt in season 2... maybe we see the walt story in a flashback from an other...--Cool Man 0912 04:57, 19 June 2006 (PDT)
New Titles
Edit
Are the new titles confirmed? Cool Man 0912 06:12, 25 June 2006 (PDT)
I don't believe any of this. Like you said earlier, how can they tell us them all now when titles went unconfirmed until the week before they were shown in season 2. I'd also bet that there will be an Alex Rousseau flash back in the REAL season 3. --LostCat 07:03, 25 June 2006 (PDT)
- And, supposedly, there is going to be a Frogurt flashback somewhere in there too. --LOCI! 12:54, 29 June 2006 (PDT)
- It would look logic, only to find there's no Sayid flashback and one for Rose and Bernard, who aren't even a regular and most likely aren't going to become one either. --TPIMaster 13:29, 29 June 2006 (PDT)
- Cool Man 0912, the title of the section is Unconfirmed Titles, no they aren't the real titles and TPIMater the producers said that most of the flashbacks back will be focusing on minor characters, so it is possible to have a Rose and Bernard and not a Sayid. Basically saying those aren't, and never will be, the episodes.--CaptainInsano
- I know the new titles are fake, they included one I purposedly planted as false for users to remove it. I love it when they take the bait. --GodEmperorOfHell 19:05, 19 July 2006 (PDT)
- Which one?--CaptainInsano
- ... In Space. It is impossible for it to be used, Irwin Allen would sue.--GodEmperorOfHell 19:09, 19 July 2006 (PDT)
- I'm tempted to give you a vandal award over on wiki, GEoH ;) --kaini. 19:19, 19 July 2006 (PDT)
Yeah, and Edgar Allen Poe's ghost is gonna sue Lost over "The Raven" reference. lol --Marik7772003 00:11, 19 August 2006 (PDT)
Episodic Information
Edit
why was it removed? it is part of what we know about next season.. its on spoilerfix! -brianopp 11:47, 22 July 2006 (PDT)
- And its from Carlton so we know its true -brianopp 11:48, 22 July 2006 (PDT)
- Stop PMSing.--CaptainInsano
i'm a bit uneasy...
Edit
about presenting spoilers from a blog as given fact... i suggest moving the season 3 template to a subheading of theories, or something like that. --kaini. 21:33, 23 July 2006 (PDT)
- i would agree except these bloggers are trusted insiders from tv guide -brianopp 17:57, 24 July 2006 (PDT)
Comic Con - LOST panel
Edit
- There were a lot of interesting topics discussed at the San Diego Comic Con during the lost panel that include S03, episode titles, directors, etc. Rachel Blake even appeared during the Q&A session! Aint-It-Cool-News (and many others) have posted transcripts, check AICN's out here
moved from article for cleanup purposes
Edit
- From The Ausiello Report: During an interview Carlton Cuse revealed: We almost view the first six as a miniseries. And it's going to answer what we left hanging at the end of the finale. Obviously, we're going to explain what happened to Locke and Desmond and Eko, and sort of deal with the fact that Sawyer and Kate and Jack are in captivity. We would love to sort of finish up [Libby]'s story. We're casting two female roles and one new male role. I can't tell you where the characters are going to come from, but obviously, one of the things we're doing this year on the show is... learning a lot more about the Others, and their society and their history. So it might be fair to say that you're going to learn more about some other characters who are also Others. I wouldn't call it the season of sex, but I will say that romance will play a much more active part of the show this year... We actually meant to get to it last year. We didn't really get to the romance as fast as we thought we were going to. So this year that's definitely on our agenda. I think actually one of these new female characters is going to be a romantic interest, possibly for Jack. There will be several new romances on the show this year... I think that this year we're looking to make the show a little bit brighter, a little bit more vibrant, a little bit more on the action-adventure axis, a little bit more on the romance axis. I don't think the show will be as dark and as intense this year [as it was last season]. And it will be, I think, even more on the character axis than on the mythological axis. John Locke will be a very different person in Season 3. All of his questions and his doubts and his uncertainty have been answered. In fact, the button did mean something. And there was something at stake. And I think that will bring about a change in that character. Penny is an important character in the overarching mythology of the show. The interrelationship between the outside world and the island will be something that will be a part of Season 3. The monster will be a part of Season 3, as will the polar bear. People are asking what happened to the polar bear, so we will be doing some polar-bear stories. The smoke creature and the monster are one and the same. I hope Cindy shows up at some point. Let's just say we have many actors on our show; she is not at the top of the list of actors we're servicing.
i'd just like to ascertain if there's anything in there not mentioned on the article, really. it does need a cleanup and that big block of text is just horrible. --kaini. 20:41, 26 July 2006 (PDT)
Spoilers
Edit
- I've made some spoiler-related edits, and here is an explanation
- The articles for Lost Season 1 and Lost Season 2 never had any spoiler content, even as the season was in progress.
- Therefore at some point in time, spoilers in this article should be moved to another article. However, I have not taken the liberty to do so. Instead, I've moved the spoiler banner downward, so that spoilers are reserved for the text below the spoiler template.
- The article for Lost Season 3 should be roughly in line with those for 1 & 2, i.e. no spoilers in the main content. In other words, the content above the spoiler template should be in line with the articles: Lost Season 1 and Lost Season 2
- Therefore I've retained the season summary and episode summary, in the unspoiled area ABOVE the spoiler template.
- Therefore I've deleted the title for the first episode (3x01), since that is a spoiler. All it was was an anchor link to a section later in the article, immediately below the spoiler template. Readers who are interested will find it immediately.
- For now I've retained the filming and airdate info in the top area of the article. Once the season begins, these should be removed for consistency with the S1 & S2 articles.
- The articles for Lost Season 1 and Lost Season 2 never had any spoiler content, even as the season was in progress.
- What do you mean? There were plenty of spoilers in the "old" Lost Season 2! --Jambalaya 10:26, 5 September 2006 (PDT)
A Tale of Two Cities
Edit
Sounded like a joke to me. Or was he serious? --Nickb123 (Talk) 14:02, 31 July 2006 (PDT)
Further Instructions
Edit
According to here [2], the second ep of season 3 is called "Further Instructions", and is Claire-centric. I don't know how reliable this source is, so do people think we should put it on this page, or treat it as a rumour, and stick it in the rumours page? Lost Soul talk contribs
- "Source: Secretagentman" never heard of him, its not a big deal we will kinow the first few episode names for sure at the start of the season.--
talk contribs 06:49, 9 August 2006 (PDT)
- It's been almost a week and the title of the episode is still prevailant in most Lost-related websites, so I would put money on it that episode 2 of season 3 is called "Further Instructions", and is Claire-centric. --SilvaStorm
I've drafted a proposed policy statement to cover debates like with Further Instructions. Please weigh in at LostPedia talk:Theory policy. --Jajasoon 12:59, 16 August 2006 (PDT)
Can we at least agree that if secretagentman's claims turn out to be accurate, that we will consider him a relaible source from now on? -brianopp 18:41, 18 August 2006 (PDT)
- No, he isn't with ABC.--CaptainInsano
- I don't think that relation to ABC matters much if his information checks out. I think most users will agree that we care more about accuracy then where the source comes from. Also, how do you know that he is not related to ABC? If you are going to tell me "he's never said he's with ABC" then don't waste my time. -brianopp 18:51, 18 August 2006 (PDT)
- Because if he was with ABC he would say it. About the getting things right thing, even themisfitishere gets stuff right every now and then, and he still isn't a proper source.--CaptainInsano
- Yes, but do you really think he's going to pull correct episode titles, character for the flashback, and guest stars out of thin air? Even Claire's psychic isn't that good. -brianopp 19:17, 18 August 2006 (PDT)
- It's not about having a good track record - it's about clear categories of criteria for what gets called canon and what is rumor/theory/speculation. Lostpedia will only work if we're consistent with these differentiations. A pseudonym with a good ABC connection is a good source of unconfirmed info, but until it's confirmed, it's not canon. Post whatever you want, but only confirmed facts go above the Theories line. --Jajasoon 19:46, 18 August 2006 (PDT)
- By the nature of what he is doing (leaking information), he is probably not going to openly admit to being an ABC employee. If his information checks out, then it should be obvious that he has some sort of inside connection (wheter directly or indirectly) that is giving him confirmed information. -brianopp 23:54, 18 August 2006 (PDT)
- When a White House source leaks info to the press, the press knows that it is coming from an official source, labelling it anonymously as "an administration official" or the like. If an unknown mysterious person leaks info to the press, they do not consider it an official source, even if it is correct and they suspect that the person is an insider - they need to confirm it with additional sources. I don't care if every leak secretagentman offers is correct - he's only an official source if he identifies himself as an ABC/Lost representative. It's obvious he's not a crank making stuff up, but that doesn't mean what he says is "fact" until it's confirmed. We want Lostpedia to be reputable and correct, with a clear distinction between theory & fact - there is absolutely nothing lost by waiting to post episode titles, cast changes, etc. until they are confirmed by official sources as dictated by our policy. --Jajasoon 05:16, 19 August 2006 (PDT)
- ABC isn't the White House and we aren't a large media conglomerate that is going to get sued over the tiniest mis-reporting. -brianopp 11:14, 19 August 2006 (PDT)
- True, but journalists do not hold back unconfirmed info (even if they are convinced it is true) because they fear lawsuits - they do it because they have (or should have) standards. Journalism is based on reputation for accuracy - many of the crises of journalism in the past few years have come because people wanted to be first with a scoop before being accurate. I'd like to see LostPedia's reputation for accuracy increase - hence the confirmation policy.--Jajasoon 11:35, 19 August 2006 (PDT)
- See you used a phrase that describes my argument: reputation for accuracy. -brianopp 11:37, 19 August 2006 (PDT)
I know this isn't an official ABC source but on the Internet Movie Database they are reporting episode 2 of season 3 as being titled "Futher Instructions" [3] I know Lostpedia would rather be known for accuracy than for being the first to report breaking news but I though this was worth a mention.--Scocub 05:50, 23 August 2006 (PDT)
- IMDB is not a primary source any more than Lostpedia is. It doesn't matter what a IMDB user decided to include or when. That user likely took the information from the same places we do. (S)he may even have taken it from Lostpedia, for all we know. Now, no one says that reputable unofficial sources are not good or not interesting or that it can't be used at all. It's just that it goes in the right place, so as to not confuse or mislead readers. Sourced unofficial spoilers go in the article about the sourced unofficial spoilers. Confirmed official informations go in the article about confirmed official informations. Cheers 14:22, 23 August 2006 (PDT)
- As far as I know IMDB does not use a wiki type format. Users cannot edit at will. This was not an entry into a message board. Just saying...--Scocub 14:58, 23 August 2006 (PDT)
- Although it's not a wiki format, both formulas do share similarities. IMDB informations also do originate from users who submit them. It relies on user submitted data to add to and update the database. Like a wiki, the huge size of the database doesn't make it possible for just a limited staff to write the entries. They have a screening procedure, but the process is largely automated for entering user submissions into the database. That's why you will often see erroneous information or hoaxes appear from time to time on IMDB. And eventually get corrected by subsequent submissions originating from other users. That's also why it must sometimes be taken with a grain of salt. It's a very useful database, well updated and vastly accurate but one must remember that it is not, nor does it claim to be, a primary source and its formula makes it vulnerable to the occasional error or hoax.

- As far as I know IMDB does not use a wiki type format. Users cannot edit at will. This was not an entry into a message board. Just saying...--Scocub 14:58, 23 August 2006 (PDT)
Good point. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. --Scocub 06:54, 24 August 2006 (PDT)
The cast list is for season 3
Edit
Someone added Libby and Shannon to the cast list. I removed them, because, if they appear, they will be guest stars. This is a list of the main cast for season 3- the regulars. --Piscez 05:38, 17 August 2006 (PDT)
Yeah, that was me, but I made it clear that they were not on the main cast - however they ARE part of the confirmed cast, even if it is as guest stars. They are part of the cast and this has been confirmed - thus they are part of the confirmed cast. I then asterisked the members of the main cast. Confirmed cast included both guest stars and main cast - any actor that is confirmed as being part of the cast: main or otherwise. Re-added. --Andyroo316 12:33, 18 August 2006 (PDT)
Okay, I guess a seperate section is the best place for now. Sorry/thanks.--Piscez 13:58, 19 August 2006 (PDT)
Unconfirmed Rumors page?
Edit
I think it would be useful to have a page for unconfirmed rumors. I guess the "synopsis of pre-season spoilers" could fit the bill with a little modification (as it goes obsolete once we're no longer pre-season, apparently?)
Think that page would work as a permanent compendium of rumors? I agree that the season 3 page should be restricted to facts, but I don't see why we can't have a page for rumors. --Piscez 05:46, 17 August 2006 (PDT)
I agree that this could be a good idea to keep people from posting to this page, but just remember that someone would have to keep it updated... very frequently these rumors get refuted pretty quickly once the new season comes up. --PandoraX 05:52, 17 August 2006 (PDT)
The Glass Ballerina
Edit
Ok i think this is offical there is a casting site asking for a korean girl 7-9 for Lost
- Link? --Jajasoon 14:39, 22 August 2006 (PDT)

- It doesn't state the US viewing date so might not be third episode, I can't tell if it has been released by ABC or not. I never heard of this website. How do they get the audition listing (from the studio or what?).--CaptainInsano
- It's not directly from an official source, so it still can't make it to the main article, but as an indirect source that looks serious it can make it to the prespoilers subpage. Adding it there. Cheers 16:46, 22 August 2006 (PDT)

- It just look like they give up to much info on it. They could just say Korean girl 7-9 speaks fluent Korean and if it beside Lost you know it would get people intention. But it is going into how it is Sun's daghter from the future and everything.--CaptainInsano
- I don't know. I think it looks pretty minimal and it says that the additional information for interested candidates is available only privately. The part about the daughter has also been available on other websites. Cheers 17:10, 22 August 2006 (PDT)
I was just looking at the season 3 promotion pic, and if u look between sun and sayid thers a pic of claires boyfriend tom. it looks like henry gale, but it is more like clairf boyfriend - Malachi dungeon
if u look though, get another pic of henry and his face is wider and looks alot older.
- No way in hell is that Thomas. Michael Emerson is in the regular cast, so that is Henry Gale. -- SilvaStorm
Rodrigo Santoro
Edit
In a Brazilian Newspaper, Rodrigo said that *maybe* his character will be of brazilian origin, but maybe not, but he will be a fluent english-speaker. He will only appear in the 2nd part of the 3rd season. Also, he will definately not be a character from kate´s flashbacks. According to him, "I will be a survivor from the plane crash, that has been on the island all the time. It will be a character with a story." Source: Folha Online - xechelonx, 28 August 2006
Spoilers redux
Edit
- Once the season begins, spoilers should be removed completely, following precedence for the use of the Season 2 article while Season 2 was running, which means much of the current article needs to be either archived, or moved to a separate article on Season 3 spoilers or Season 3 speculation. -- Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯ Talk 13:40, 29 August 2006 (PDT)
- Agree.--CaptainInsano 13:42, 29 August 2006 (PDT)
- I'll do it later today, unless you want to do it. -- Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯ Talk 13:44, 29 August 2006 (PDT)
- There is already a page called Season 3/prespoilers. I think it has all the info that is on this page. Just on Oct. 4th change the name to "Season 3 Spoilers" or whatever. That sound good to you?--CaptainInsano 13:48, 29 August 2006 (PDT)
