Lost Spoilers – TV Guide / Cuse & Lindelof Talk the Return of Michael

An upcoming article from TV Guide has some very interesting tidbits regarding the return of Michael.  Here are the bullet points, I’ve added some of my own intel in parentheses:

• There is a “darkly revelatory” series of flash BACKS involving Michael in Manhattan following his return to civilization.
• Four dead characters show up in this episode. (Friendly, Libby, Minkowski, Regina.)
• According to Cuse: “It’s safe to say Michael’s return to the outside world did not work out in any way he hoped or planned.”
• Walt shows up briefly. (And as a child, not taller ghost Walt proportions.)
• According to Lindelof “He [Harold Perrineau] was always coming back on the freighter, it was just a matter of [when] we were gonna reveal the freighter.”
• Originally, Michael and the freighter were going to be part of the season 3 finale.
