This weeks TV Guide has a pretty big spoiler for the show about the mysterious 4-toed statue. If you don't want to know, don't click the box. biglaugh

Click to reveal..
According to Michael Emerson the 4-Toed statue is of the Goddess of childbirth known as Taweret. We'll see the front of the statue in the finale. Here's some info and a photo of Taweret.




link

Early during the Old Kingdom, the Egyptians came to see female hippopotamuses as less aggressive than the males, and began to view their aggression only as one of protecting their young and being good mothers, particularly since it is the males that are territorially aggressive. Consequently, Taweret became seen, very early in Egyptian history, as a deity of protection in pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women wore amulets with her name or likeness to protect their pregnancies. Her image could also be found on knives made from hippopotamus ivory, which would be used as wands in rituals to drive evil spirits away from mothers and children.


Could the destruction of her statue be the reason the island women cannot carry a pregnancy to term?

And there's a wedding. Can't figure who'd marry...unless it's Sawyer and Juliet. Should be interesting.

05/05 - Look for another game-changing finale. Based on the rumors we're hearing about what happens, you may find yourself wondering how they could still even do the same show after this. [...] Sayid's wife Nadia is back in the finale. Yes, technically she's his tragically murdered wife, but still: whee! We'll also be meeting young Kate, young Tom (Mr. Friendly), young Juliet, young Rachel (Juliet's sister) and young Sawyer, and several of those sightings happen because a pivotal figure in the Island mythology wants to check in on our heroes in their youth, à la Richard Alpert's test visit ("Which of these are yours?") to John Locke

Found a lot. Some answers. Just another warning to not read if you want to be spoiler free.

The Wedding scene is definitely that of Sun and Jin as has previously been reported and NOT that of Aaron and JiYeon that has been speculated on some sites. Jacob will be in attendance for the ceremony.

We will have a Charlie's-death-level emotional reaction to the character death at the end of season-there will be wailing, rending of garments and general grief. The writers probably had plenty of doubts about whether or not it was really a good idea to kill this particular character. [...] Charlie Pace and the major character that dies this season are polar opposites in at least one key physical attribute.

Here's another one that I don't think spoils anything - just kind of what to expect in the finale:

Question: Got any scoop on the Lost finale? --Carolyn
Ausiello: Funny, we posed that exact question to Damon Lindelof at the Hollywood premiere of Star Trek earlier this week. "All I will say is that it is time for the time travel craziness to end," he said. "And once it does end, something very, very surprising will happen in its wake. It is a little bit of a game-changer."

About the statue again.

Has any other site posted a picture of the one we saw on the show? I wanted another good look at it. I do not read about Lost on any other site so I have no clue where to look, and from what I hear there are a lot of Lost fan sites.
