My very good friend Lauri Neff with the Associated Press interviewed the recently returned Daniel Dae Kim and got some intel she probably didn’t expect. Suffice to say that while Daniel doesn’t spill any of LOST’s secrets by any means he certainly gives us some insight on what we may be seeing in the near future. Read on:
One of the biggest mysteries of “Lost” — the Smoke Monster — will be unveiled on the popular TV drama, and soon.
Actor Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin, said in an interview that the origin and nature of the malevolent dark cloud will be disclosed and viewers will even get a glimpse of its lair. Turns out the monster is as “old as the island” that’s been home to the Oceanic jet-crash survivors and their foes.
Kim also cautioned against expectations that his character, Jin, will reunite with his wife, Sun (Yunjin Kim), even though Jin survived a freighter explosion and Sun returns to the island after escaping it.
Those events don’t mean “they’re particularly in the same place or chronologically in the same time,” Kim said.
As for the atomic bomb that showed up in the “Jughead” episode, he said the show’s producers rarely give something such prominence unless it counts in the island’s mythology.
“That’s a huge red herring if it’s a red herring,” Kim said, suggesting the bomb could help resolve plot points as the series ends in 2010.
Perhaps the time-traveling that’s popped up this season might be one of those.

So, a look inside smokey’s lair, eh? Could we be seeing this, say, tomorrow? Speculate your hearts out.

If Jughead is a red herring, I’ll eat Jin’s shoes.
*squee!*
Hmmm…when I read about the lair I think of that weird Sky1 TV promo… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cylSWSNLkH8
Could it be that simple? surely not!!!
I thought Darlton said that the smoke monster mystery would be saved for season 6?
Anyway, I can’t wait to find out what it is. My best guess thus far is that it’s some kind of entity which has either escaped from a tear in the fabric of space-time… or guards it.
if Daniel is saying this, then he must have filmed scenes involving this lair. Perhaps tonight we will see Jin accompany Danielle’s Posy into the Dark Territory where they will come across Smokey’s lair! O_o
Wow, I really did not expect to see Smokey’s lair this year, if this is true. I’d imagine that this is the “Is this the thing?” that Jorge referred to recently. What could be cooler than that? Also, I think his comment that Smokey is as old as the island is his own speculation. Darlton have said that the monster’s origins won’t be covered until season 6.
Could the Lair be where Ben went after the death of Alex when he called upon it? I am guessing it is connected to it somehow. I hope we get more insite to Smokey. One of the coolest things on the Island.
