12 days of lostmas

mad lost spoilers below the jump


-Maggie Grace's (Shannon) absence from the beginning of the new season will be explained by a significant change to Shannon and Boone's (Ian Somerhalder) backstory.
-Sawyer (Josh Holloway) will smooch someone who is either Kate (Evangeline Lilly) or Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell), and it will happen within the first four hours of the new season.

SECOND DAY OF LOSTMAS

Remember, when we last saw John Locke he appeared to be in two places: (1) very dead on the beach and (2) inside Jacob's lair convincing Ben to kill Jacob. (So not cool!)

So what's the big moment that's so stunning it will make you scream out loud?

Our 12 Days of Lost-mas continues with one spoiler that is true (nice!) and one spoiler that is false (naughty!) regarding the almighty O'Quinn, and his shocking twist.

One of these is true, the other is false:

-We find out John Locke is related to C*****s *id**re and J*** ***ph*** in a way you would never ever expect—yes, "related" as in by blood!
-Terry O'Quinn does something bat-poop insane involving a character we have known since the very first episode of Lost's first season, then says: "I'm sorry you had to see me like that."

One of the following is true:

-Sayid dies.
-Sayid kills Jack.


1) According to sources, we will see Desmond again...
2) ...fairly early on in the season.
3) His first appearance will be with one of the Losties, and the scene/encounter is very surprising.
4) You guys are going to love it! (Honestly)

The following statements are both true:
-One Lostie we've known for a long time (a dark, handsome someone) will die within the first four hours in the first shocking death of the year.
-Another Lostie we've known and loved since day one of season one will come thisclose to dying—at his own hands—but the good doctor (Matthew Fox's Jack Shephard) will save him.
Who will die? Who will nearly take his own life?


One of the following things is true regarding Ilana and her Ajira posse:

-They were sent by Charles Widmore to kill Ben.
-They were sent by the Man in Black (Jacob's nemesis) to find the island's time travel mechanism and destroy it.
-They were sent to protect Jacob.
-They were sent to revive John Locke.


According to insiders, Miles (Ken Leung)—who, remember, gets messages from the dead and not full-on visions/visits à la Hurley (Jorge Garcia)—may carry a message from a dead character on Lost in the upcoming season.

According to sources, all of these things will be said in the first six hours of Lost's new season (starting Feb. 2), and they are pivotal to the plot:

1) "Am I alive?"
2) "It turned out she did not want out."
3) "I wanted you to be able to go home."
4) "I was killed by an *** ******."
5) "I was supposed to die."
