LOST Is Full of Strange People

And some of the characters are odd too. Have you heard the one about the custody battle over a love-child from a tryst that ended in accusations of poisoning a child and the practice of witchcraft. No, this isn’t a preview of an upcoming LOST episode, but rather the real-life drama that unfolded around Naveen Andews’ (Sayid on LOST) recent court appearance.

Elana Eustache, Naveen’s Baby-Mama took him to court to try to get custody of their 3 year old child. She was accusing Naveen, among other things, of poising the child and dating a witch. That’s right, Eustache was asserting that Barbara Hershey was practicing black magic with the child in the house.

Needless to say the judge dismissed the accusations and ordered psychiatric evaluations on Eustache. With all of that going on, I am sure that Naveen was happy to get back to the LOST set where things are a bit more normal.

LOST Receives Producer of the Year Nomination

Posted by lostfan

January 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment

LOST has received a nomination for the Norman Felton Producer of the Year Award from the Producers Guild of America.  It is being nominated in the “Episodic Television-Drama” category along with “Boston Legal”, “Damages”, “Dexter”, “Lost” and “Mad Men”.

Dexter I can buy, but the other shows being nominated, in my humble opinion, pale in comparison.  We will have to wait until January 24 to see who the winner is, but I would be shocked if LOST did not take home the prize.

And in a marginally related, but tremendously more interesting note, here is a sneak peek from the LOST premiere.  Don’t watch it if you don’t want a few small spoilers.

Take a Tour with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse

January 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Here is a top secret glimpse inside of the LOST writer’s studios. It is the latest in the series of “Dharma Special Access“ videos promoting Season 5.  In this episode, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse give a light-hearted tour of Building 23, otherwise known as the LOST writer’s office.

If you have ever wondered where the magic happens, here is the only chance you may get to see it.  I especially liked the dead, living, and undead character organizer.  I know, its not an amazing piece of video, but with the premiere just weeks away, I will take what I can get.

ABC Announces LOST Recap Episode

Did you catch this press release?

A LOOK OVER THE PAST FOUR SEASONS WILL SHED LIGHT ON THE SURVIVORS OF OCEANIC FLIGHT 815, THE MYSTERIES OF THE ISLAND, THE OCEANIC 6, CHARLES WIDMORE AND OTHER OUTSIDE INFLUENCES — ALL IN PREPARATION FOR “LOST’S” EXCITING FIFTH SEASON PREMIERE — IN THE NEW SPECIAL, “LOST CLIP SHOW” (w.t.), WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21 ON ABC.

ABC is continuing the battle of roping in new viewers five seasons into one of the greatest mysteries ever on television.  On premiere night, before the good stuff begins, ABC will be airing another clip show to catch viewers up and shed some light on the mythology, pathology, and psychology of life on the island.   Chances are this is another “pop-up video” LOST episode, but I don’t mind.  Last season, I actually enjoyed the pop-ups.  They were handy when I missed a few things.

What do you think, are you a fan of the recap shows?

Happy LOST Month! Oh Yeah, and Merry New Year

Posted by lostfan

January 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment

Welcome to January - LOST month. In a mere 21 days (three short weeks) LOST Season 5 airs.  There are some folks out there much luckier than you and me that have already been blessed by watching the premier, and while they are not scooping all of the story, they are issuing some glowing reviews.  Here is a LOST, Season 5 Premier Review Roundup.

The Watcher:

“The start of the season premiere was just that nerd-tastic for hardcore Lost fan; it’s full of shout-outs and call-backs to classic Lost moments and trivia.”

Doc Jensen:

“Lost’s tradition of opening the year with a killer, capture-the-imagination sequence is honored and upheld, though the thing I loved most was how it was brazenly frank (and engagingly funny) about the heady high-concept conceit that will define the season.”


Watch with Kristin:

“It’s grandiose, compelling, gaspworthy and, despite what the haters would have you believe, altogether satisfying.”

Well, I have not seen  the LOST premiere, but I am inclined to say that I agree with everyone.  I know it’s a little early and geeky to say that, but hey; I am a fanboy!

Daniel Dae Kim Finds Others LOST Christmas

Posted by lostfan

December 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment

JinLOST star, Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), helped spread some Christmas cheer this year by donating to the Toys For Tots program.  Times have certainly been tough for many charities with the financi-pocolypse and all, but Daniel Dae Kim did not let that stop him from helping out in a major way.

Daniel donated 500 toys to the Marine sponsored Toys for Tots program.  Marine spokesman Chuck Little said “To say that (contribution) is overwhelming is a gross understatement,” he said.  “That will go a long way toward helping meet the remaining need this year.”

Way to go Daniel, I hope your fans and friends were able to follow your example.  Happy New Year.

LOST Travel Postcards Probably are Mysterious

Posted by lostfan

December 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment

lost.jpgSigmund Freud said “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Sigmund Freud never saw an episode of LOST because nothing is EVER what it seems, and I am sure that a new teaser off of the ABC site is no different.  Travel postcards available over at the LOST site are available for sending to a friend, igniting the imagination, and making me generally paranoid that I am missing something.

My favorite postcard “Experience the Unexpected,” has a great illustration of my favorite smoke monster.  All of the postcards have some sort of reference or hint from the Seasons 1-4, and they are all illustrated in some wacky art-deco style.  I am trying to figure out what is hidden in all of them, but I am afraid that LOST has driven me insane, and that they might very well just be travel postcards.

The six postcards are:

  • “Don’t Be A Stranger - Come Back!”
  • “Experience the Unexpected”
  • “Get Away to Find Yourself”
  • “Return to the Island”
  • “The Island Cures What Ails You”
  • “Come Back”

Head over to the ABC site to see them for yourself.
