I have a question that hopefully some of you guys might be able to answer.
Ok so the producers Abrams and Lindelof know EXACTLY how the story begins and ends right?? Meaning they're not making up stuff as the story goes on...
I was just reading an entry on wikipedia and it says
"In the second season, Michael Emerson was contracted to play Ben ("Henry Gale") for three episodes. His role was extended to eight episodes because of his acting skills, and eventually for the whole of season three and season four."
How does that work considering how significant of a character Ben is to the story??? Did they change the entire story just because Emerson was such a good actor?? or...whats up

From what I understand, here's how shows work.
The writers write a show according to the storyline that the producers produce.
Say I'm a producer of a new series. The series is a drama. I have main characters, main plots, supporting characters, sub-plots, 'filler'characters, and mini-plots. I have the entire story detailed from beginning to end. The beginning of my story involves a huge earthquake the splits Americaright in half, and the end of my story shows that all conflicts and troubles have resolved, and the world moves on, with this new existence containing a'North USA' and a 'South USA'. I have different desires for all of my main characters, supporting characters, and 'filler' characters;some die, some are related but don't know it, some marry each other, some kill each other. I already have the tie-ins for all of my main plots, sub-plots,and mini-plots.
I have all of this written down.
Then I begin working with the writers to put all of my writing into a show.
So the fact that Ben was originally supposed to be in 3 episodes this season, but that has been changed t 8... that means nothing to the main plot of thestory, which was developed before the first LOST episode ever hit the air. We're watching a completed story unfold; some of us are able to figure the nextstages of the story before we see them, others think they already have the entire story finished in theory, and others (this is me) are still trying to figureout things from like last month, last season, or even the first season.
Hope that answers your question.

When you tell us to look at the first scene of the Pilot episode with Jack waking up, are you basically telling us to focus on the white shoes (his father's) or something more? Do you have something else in mind, like any other objects that happen to be laying next to him?
Put differently, is there more than a thematic/artistic connection between how Jack wakes up, Ben wakes up in the recent episode, etc. etc.?

Both the shoes, and more...how he wakes up...where he wakes up....his awakening is similar to Ben's awakening.

When Jack wakes up on the island either he was teleported. OR this was Jacks FIRST time being sent back in time.
He rushed to the beach like he knew to go there.
Only thing with that thought is that there are times he was acting brand new as if he didnt do this b4. Shouldnt he have some
course of action to follow like Ben? My counter to that argument would be that he is trying to do things completely different.

Just watch though how Jack gets up and then sprints directly to the beach and then starts going around helping people. It almost feels like, a few moments after waking up, somehow he knows exactly what to do.
