Many views on that libkitty, but personally I always felt that if the writer was hinting about stuff it was closer to public knowledge and not hard core spoils. YSpoilsMV
Spoilage Lite - The Return
[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
I'd suggest whitefonting actor and writer musings.
P-C brought up the observation in OMGWTF POLAR BEAR, that in IMDb, (cast status info/possible plot speculation) Emilie de Ravin is listed only as "a guest star" in 6 episodes, which had some of us worried that Claire won't live through the first season. (Wahhh!) The thing is though, when you click through the details of the guest appearances by episode, Emilie de Ravin isn't even listed in "Raise by Another", which is supposed to be a Claire-centric episode. So, I'm taking this to mean that the info there is unreliable, and I'm gonna be in that boat to the Nile, chanting "Claire and the baby will be safe. Claire and the baby will be safe."
Oh, thank you Vonnie. Is there room in your boat for one more?
Sure thing! Come on in. The food is so-so, but the view is great!
Oh, another thing. On that guest-appearance page for future episodes, there is a new character named "Ethan", played by this actor, who strikes me as a bit of PoorMan'sNathanFillion, appearance-wise. He's scheduled to appear in all three following episodes. So, one of the other castaways becoming regular-ish? Maybe he's that 15th character Evangeline Lilly mentioned in Dave Letterman's yesterday.
Ooh, that sounds interesting. Maybe he's Mike. Or Steve.
Lost: The spoilerish thing that I mentioned before, seen posted by a writer on The Fusilage, but that I didn't want to post here before getting some advice (thanks all), regards Raised by Another. In the interest of full disclosure, the first part seems hardcore-ish to me, but it turns out I'm a bit of a spoiler wimp, and it was publicly posted by a writer: Claire does not have her baby on this episode, but has complications that are different from those in White Rabbit. My guess is that the title refers to Claire rather than to her baby. But obviously I could be completely off base with that.
The guest cast for the "Solitary" Episode:
Xavier Alaniz .... Prisoner
Mira Furlan .... Danielle Rouseau
Andrea Gabriel .... Nadia
Grant Hayes .... Jimmy
William Mapother .... Ethan
Navid Negahban .... Omar
Scott Paulin .... Sullivan
I'm thinking the second one, known to Babylon 5 fans, is the woman in the recording. Whether she will be alive now or shown in flashback, we'll find out, I guess.
The first listed is most likely a flashback for Sayid.
So, I'm guessing William Mapother must be a relative of Tom Cruise. IMDb lists him a lot of his movies. And Mapother is Cruise's real last name. 'Cause I was thinking there was a family resemblence more than NF-lite.
Sail, you are correct. He's a cousin.
