Episode 4.08 - Meet Kevin Johnson - Michael Centric

Thanks to DarkUFO reader Andrew who was lucky enough to work as an extra on the set of Lost.

I worked as an extra on Lost for the 8th episode of the upcoming 4th season,and I can confirm that it is a Michael-centric episode that takes place between the time he left up until present time on the island. I was one of the extras in NY where Michael ends up and meets Tom. On the set there was a lot of talk about how Tom could be there and there were the theories of the Orchid going around.

Whooo sounds ace.

USA Today article - Character Quotes

I found an article about Lost on the following website:

http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/ne...lost-main_N.htm

If you look at the top left of the website, you can spot pictures of every cast member. When you click on the pictures, another window will open and you'll get some spoilery quotes by the actors. I typed them all up and saved them as a word-document and I'm gonna send it to you as an attachment. You can then check the quotes for their accuracy.

This man is an island: Ben is a man without resources, without an army, without henchmen. He's going to be forced to live purely by his wits now, and we'll see if he thrives under those circumstances," says Emerson, who has been in New York since production stopped in November. "Whether he has a working relationship with (Others member) Juliet is anybody's guess at this point," he says. Emerson says the eigtht episodes pick up the "dark and violent" momentum of the latter part of season 3 and that life isn't pretty for anyone on the island. "Nobody has a home anymore. Everyone is marching around the island like refugees." The suspicious Ben isn't counting on help from the freighter folks. "They are formidable adversaries. They are instantly gripping and frightening and mysterious," he says.

Sun-ny outlook? All women who have become pregnant on the island have died, so Sun's health and survival will be an issue and will put her in greater contact with fertility doctor Juliet. "Sun's and Juliet's relationship is building, but Sun has trust issues with Juliet," Kim says. Kim has seen some cast members, including Josh Holloway, Daniel Dae Kim and their wives since the strike started.

Baby watch: Mitchell says many of her favourite upcoming scenes are with Kim's pregnant Sun, as Juliet does all in her power to help mother and child survive. "You wouldn't want to get pregnant on that island," says Mitchell, who has been home in Seattle with her husband and son since filming ended. Juliet's apparently shifting loyalties intrigue her. "It makes us a little uneasy. It keeps the suspence moving trying to figure out what happens next.

Terry's take:"They're facing off over whether the people coming are here to help us or, as Locke believes, to harm us," says O'Quinn, who won an Emmy in September. O'Quinn, who has been staying at his Maryland home during the writer's strike, says Locke has much to lose if he leaves the island. "He's afraid that he'll revert to what he was before he got to the island a totally ineffectual non-person," O'Quinn says. "He feels empowered here. He comes to feel he's a guardian of the place." Other characters, such as Rose, whose cancer is cured on the island, also don't want to leave, O'Quinn says. He adds that fugitive Kate has reason to stay, though last year's flash-forward had her in the USA.

Sawyer's charm: Elizabeth Mitchell, a Lost fan before joining the cast last season, praises Holloway for his complex portrayal of a man who doesn't want others to see his more humane side. "I think he's really doing a fantastic job," Mitchell says. The character's oft-hidden emotion comes through "the way he looks at Kate. He really does seem to love her."

Mother's intuition: The decision to contact the freighter has the castaways "divided into 2 groups, one thinkting the people from the freighter are going to be helping us and one thinking they are not," de Ravin says. "There's a lot more conflict, I suppose, than there has been between the original cast." Of her alter ego, she says, "Claire's going to get quite strong."

Expectant episodes: The question "is whether Sun is going to survive during the pregnancy," says Yunjin Kim, who plays Sun. "The pregnancy will be a huge story line for us."

Future predictions? With the flash-forwards, which will be used in some episodes, viewers will pick up much more information, says Cusick, who will have a Desmond-centric episode. "We're going to find out quite a lot in the first episode, including something very important, which unfortunately I can't tell you because it would ruin it." Viwers will also learn that the freighter inhabitants are "unlike any other characters on the island. You're going to love them or hate them." Penny, who has been searching for the island, will be back this season. "The whole love story with Desmond and Penny has to be resolved," he says.

Sayid's say: Andrews says this season viewers will "see Sayid in a completely different light." He says it was sad returning without Dominic Monaghan, whose character Charlie died in the third-season finale. "I felt that way about Maggie way back," he says of the actress whose character Shannon was previously killed off. "You grow to have friendships with people over a period of time. It always seems brutal and harsh when a character is let go. I'm sure the writers have good and genuine reasons, but on a personal level it's always very hard."

Hurley's loss: "Hurley has to deal with Charlie's death," Garcia says. "When we left it last season, Hurley still doesn't know Charlie went on this suicide mission to get everybody off the island. They've had one of the strongest relationships on the island and that becomes an impetus for Hurley, at least in the first few episodes," Garcia says. With an end in sight, "there is a sense this season is ramping towards things. There's the level of excitement of season 1. We're tearing open scripts to find out what happens next, who's affected by what," he says.

Kate's fate: Kate, who will have an episode that focuses on her, has a complex social life, with feelings for both Jack and Sawyer. She and Juliet, who kissed Jack in the season 3 finale, both interact with him this season, Mitchell says. "Jack and Kate's relationship is very loving and it was one I was rooting for before joining Lost," she says.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
