Lost audio podcast recap: April 30, 2007

The new Lost audio podcast is now available on ABC's website. This week, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse discussed "D.O.C." and previewed "The Brig." The producers released the following information:

• Naomi's last name is Dorrit. Damon Lindelof called Dorrit a "Dickensian name," in reference to the Dickens novel Little Dorrit.
• Lindelof and Cuse reiterated the fact that the crash survivors are not in purgatory.
• With regard to Naomi's statement about Flight 815, there are two possibilities: Naomi is lying, or someone is covering up the truth about the flight.
• We will learn more about Naomi's "mission" in later episodes.

• Mikhail's reappearance could be explained in a few ways. Either the sonic fence was not turned up high enough to be fatal, or Mikhail died and was brought back to life by the island. These issues will be resolved in a week or two.
• Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse wrote this week's episode, "The Brig," and called it a "turning point episode."
• "The Brig" will reveal where Locke has been since he left with the Others in "Left Behind."
• The Others are "on their way" somewhere.
• Cooper will explain how he ended up on the island.
• In "Numbers," Carlton Cuse's voice can be heard during the lottery announcement scene. He says "That's right, Mary Jo, because this is the sixteenth week without a winner."
• Some fans noticed a blue spark on Hurley's forehead during a scene in "Catch-22." This spark was not a clue, but was likely just a trick of the light.
• The psychic's prediction about Aaron's future will be dealt with in a future episode. We will also get "a hint" about Walt's abilities.
• The Others' obsession with children goes beyond the pregnancy problem.
• There are two factions within the Others. In the next few weeks, everyone's loyalties will be clear.
