That’s right, the next television season could be interrupted because of a strike. No, this isn’t a joke, and it isn’t some kind of Lost time travel loop, and it isn’t one of Desmond’s flashes. Here is the bottom line: the Screen Actors Guild and producers group (AMPTP) are in negotiations for a new contract, and the negotiations are not going well. There is a deadline of June 30th to work this out or the SAG can authorize a strike. Yes - that was not a typo - a strike. It seems like Hollywood didn’t learn anything form the 2.1 billion dollars they lost during the writer’s strike.
This isn’t quite a Lost post, but since Lost isn’t on, you need something to distract you. Today, I stumbled onto the most wonderful blog I have ever seen. I am into photography, especially photography that captures a moment or tells a story. If you are into photos as well, then run to The Big Picture Blog. There are some amazing photo stories to be found there. For starters, I recommend the photos of Mars. There is an image of the Earth and Moon from Mars - it is both inspiring and amazing. If you need a distraction from the lack of Lost, but you want it to have the same emotional and mental punch that Lost has, then head over to The Big Picture right away.
You remember those Lost moments that made you question everything? There are quite a few of them - probably too many to count. That didn’t stop a blogger over at Apropos of Something from trying. They came up with the 30, in their opinion, most shocking WTF moments in Lost history. Here are a few off of the list. #23: Richard Alpert doesn’t age #15: Locke’s dad shows up on the Island #9: Locke was in a wheelchair before he came to the Island Not only does the site feature a list, but also screenshots and descriptions of each moment. They also include why each moment matters. Head over to Apropos of Something and check it out? Let me know what you think about their list. Is there anything missing?
Did you get your Octagon Global Email? I covered the Octagon Global commercial a few weeks ago, but if you missed it, here it is:
As I suspected, the commercial was an advertisement pointing people towards Comic-Con 2008. I had an idea that there was going to be some Lost goodies this year. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to be at Comic-Con, but I will cover the Lost news as it comes creeping out. If you didn’t sign up, it is not too late: Visit Global Recruiting. If you haven’t received and email, here it is after the break (I don’t want to spoil it):
Are you busy in July? Specifically, July 24-27 are looking like good days to be in San Diego. Those are the dates of the annual Comic-Con. If you are unfamiliar with Comic-Con, it is the one of the best comic, sci-fi, and fantasy conventions in this universe. I checked the website, and there are still some day passess available. If you have an opportunity to go, I would love to hear your insights and observations. What does this have to do with Lost do you ask? Well, last year, there was quite a bit of Lost coverage, a Lost discussion panel, and this little gem:
Who knows what Lost tidbits we will get this year? I have a feeling there will be something good.
You know you are popular when all of the cool kids are making fun of you. If my assumption is correct then Lost is almost as popular as I was in high school. Lost has shown up on everyones favorite satirical news outlet, The Onion. I strongly recommend that you get over and give it a read. It is hilarious. Actually, I wish it wasn’t fake news. The article talks about a rare and successful attempt at bipartisanship in the US Government.  It would be nice if things like time travel, moving islands, and senators getting along weren’t all science fiction. Oh - dare to dream.
As we decompress after a wild and fantastic season of Lost, it is easy to forget about the cast
Naveen, who has had a very interesting life, interviews well (despite is love of the f-bomb). If you are trying to catch up and follow along with the Lost cast while the show resets and they find the island, head over to Digital Spy .
I am talking about things like the food drop. Where and how did the crate of food pop out of the sky? If it was an airplane, then that messes with some of the island is lost. How did the food crate, complete with parachute show up? Its existence and origin don’t jive with any of the current plots or sub-plots. It has almost been forgotten. Another piece of Lost Lore that seemed very significant, until it wasn’t, was the delivery system with the vacuum tubes. It seemed to be painting some very complicated mystery regarding Dharma - then the mystery was dropped. Dharma no longer was interesting because Ben and the Others became so fascinating. Lastly, remember the Hydra Station? It is the station that Jack, Kate, and Sawyer in. It was on a whole different island. When Ben is talking to Sawyer about his pacemaker, he makes sure to point out the other island. In the Season 4 finale, when we see the island dissappear, there is only one island. I wonder what happened to the other one… did someone lose it? Any other big questions out there that seem to have simply gone away? If so, sound off in the comments, I would love to hear your thoughts.
It’s movies like this one, this one, and now this new one that make me question my obsession with Lost. I mean, if you can boil down an entire season into a little under 9 minutes, or a two hour season finale into 2 minutes, then what is the point of it all? At any rate, if you feel secure in your Lostieness, and can handle having 2 hours of your life distilled into a few minutes than watch this movie below. It serves as a great reminder of all the “big moments” from the finale.
At the rate these movies are going - distilling everything so succinctly, there will be a 10 minute wrap up of my life when I die.
A question that has been circulating quite a bit lately focuses on Jin’s fate. Is he dead or is he alive? I don’t pretend to know the future, nor do I have any secret spoilers stashed away, but I do know some history. Not Lost history, but real life - island (not THE island, but rather Hawaii). Consider this theory: the following characters have died on Lost:
The following actors have received DUI’s in Hawaii:
Umm… Sorry Sun, but it is not looking good for the home team. Jin’s fate might not be obvious to the fans, but it might be to Hawaii’s police department and the production team. Maybe Daniel Dae Kim will be the exception - who knows? |

Do you ever get the sense that the writing and production team on Lost sometimes lose their way? I mean do you think they get a good idea, develop it, drop it, and hope the audience forgot about the whole shebang?
