What I expect to happen in The Shape Of Things To Come

Real time

- Ben will try and influence the Smoke Monster in to saving Alex and killing off a lot of Freighters
- Richard is the one on the phone being safely off Island calling Ben to tell him "CODE 14-J"
- We will see Others moving around in the jungle
- Juliet will try and detach herself from Jack
- Jack will then fall ill after being poisoned by one of the Freighters (Poisoned his bottle of water or something)

Flashforward

- Ben will recruit Sayid at Nadia's funeral to come and work for him to pay back for what he's done (On and off Island)
- We'll be unsure as to whether it's a Ben or Sayid episode at first
- We'll have a "...What?" moment at the end of the flash

The Shape Of Things To Come Sneak Peek

SPOILER: Claire is in danger/The Kiss

Some news comes to us from Ausiello this afternoon. I know he isn't always the most reliable source, but at the moment, I'll take any Lost tidbits.

Question: What's this I'm hearing about a major kiss in Lost's season finale? — David

Ausiello: More like a "spectacular kiss" — Damon Lindelof's words, not mine. In the new issue of Lost magazine, DL teased, "Romance is always blooming on and off the island. And I hereby promise you one of the most spectacular kisses you've ever seen on the show in this year's finale." Naturally, I pressed DL's partner in crime, Carlton Cuse, for further details on the earth-shattering smooch, to which he replied, "I can disclose no more details other than to say it's one of my favorite moments of the whole series so far. And contrary to some speculation, it is a male/female kiss." OK, so it's not Mr. Friendly and his little Rent Boy. Who does that leave? Oh, right: Pretty much every other couple on the frakkin' show! Damn you, Team Darlton!

Question: I love Lost, but is Claire ever going to get Charlie's letter and ring? — Rhiannon

Ausiello: The only thing I know for sure is that Claire is in significant danger in this season's Episode 9.
