# There are 34 episodes left in seasons 5 and 6.
# They finished writing the season finale on Monday and are fine tuning it now.
# The enhanced episodes are considered "cliff notes" for the show.

# On the "game changer" that would make the word flash irrelevant: "If we were to switch perspectives at any time and suddenly we were off the island focusing on the Oceanic 6 trying to get back, that would be the present, and what was happening back on the island [the 'woosh'] would be the either parallel present, possibly the past, or possibly the future."

# Damon and Carlton spend more time with each other than they do with their wives, or even each other's wives.
# The name 'Frozen Donkey Wheel' is not supposed to make any sense, but is an inside joke with the writers.
# They will not comment on the fate of Rousseau, but they can confirm that she was indeed shot with bullets.
