Yay!

Didn't think about this - good observation (though I wouldn't put it under the category of "THEORIES" and I doubt this is how the series will END) :
Walt Has Already Told Us The Ending to Lost
I don't think that that is going to be the end of the series, but the beginning of season 6.. They'll have seen the body of Locke, and then realised that the Locke in the Statue isn't who he appeared to be... then they'll want to hurt him.
Hooray! pt.2
Add my "hooray" to that list.
Hurrah!
Anyone catch The Office tonight?
WTF??? I thought only The Simpsons did clips shows. It actually made me pine for the days when the writing was still decent.
Huzzah!
Btw JoeSC I'm actually blaming NBC for the clip show because I kinda hate NBC right now.

KABLAMMO!
KABLAMMO!
It's FRIDAY! I'm so glad the weekend is about 6hrs away (for me). Anyone have any plans?
btw, random thought...I saw RENT on Wednesday downtown Toronto, and had a giggle fit right before intermission. All I could think about was "Team America" and "Everyone has AIDS! AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS!"
Too many people do him - but still, this ain't a bad impression :D
Cooking with Christopher Walken
Hey guys just got an email a little while ago and en route to me is
"a message in a bottle with a USB drive containing instructions to access approximately five (5) minutes of the LOST Season 5 finale and a portion of the first episode of LOST Season 6, with an Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of $25.00."
YAY!
All the secrets will be mine.
I'll let you guys know/ share pics once the eagle lands.
brad, that is awesome. awesome but spoilery. you should e-mail everything you see to MB so he and Mac can get a head start on spoilers.
i'd love to hear about it "in general terms" here though. ya know, non-spoilery.
although, if i had won the contest, you can bet i'd watch it.
oh. and MB's spoiler SPLOG in case anyone is in need of some spoilers.
and, for brad, is it dorky that i want to know what the USB thing looks like? non-descript, LOST decals, etc?
answer: yes. yes, it is dorky that i want to know that.
as soon as it arrives I'll take pics of the usb itself and put spoiler free info online.
I may just have to do a mini podcast with a full spoiler-free and super-spoiled breakdown... because I'm shameless like that.
You cats will be the first to know
I'm ready for part 3 right now!
Ugh! The Office Clip Show- I could not watch.
Human Target is awesome!
Steph...do you really like Human Target that much? I watched the first one, and wasn't all that impressed.
"A vest? You're wearing a vest?! Where's MY vest?!!"
"I'm your vest."
Me = rolling my eyes.
I'm about 10 minutes into the second ep, and so far, no changes for me.
yeah, but Human Target was amazing. Maybe your canadianosity means that you just didn't see how amazingly awesome it was...
I've watched 2 Human Targets and I'm not loving it. Each episode has had a particularly cool action element, but I just don't feel it from Mark Valley. Chi McBride is over-acting or something as well. Hubby wants to like it, but I'd be willing to bet it will be off our schedule within 3 weeks.
Holli
Lightning bolt moment! I just realized Hubby is going to be in Peru the night of the LOST premier. Now I just have to get the kid out of the way and have the night all to myself. (Insert evil laugh here.)
In actuality Kiddo has a basketball game and if that Tuesday is like this past Tuesday I'm going to be chasing the recording all night once he finally gets his homework done. Drat!
Holli
Herlz, I do like a good fight scene. The fighting on the train was pretty cool--but I don't get how those 3 dudes work together to fight crime. Doesn't make sense yet.
Wow, haven't heard anyone reference Team America in a LONG time! Nice drop Kim!
How can you not love a movie with graphic puppet sex and a theme song called "America - Fuck Yeah!"?
Crap! Watching end of Conan - is that Beck w/ZZ Top backing up Will Ferrel (on Freebird)? Too excellent!
Brad - if you toss some spoiler action my way Mac'll do yer taxes ;) (how ACCURATELY ...well...)
So...the Deuce stole the spindle off the toilet paper holder & isn't saying where he put it. (or I just can't understand what he's saying)

Human Target isn't really meant to over-stimulate your brain. It's a big budget action movie in weekly episodic form. I've watched the first two eps. And it meets exactly what it sets out to accomplish. It's fun, things get intense, and stuff blows up. And on the plus side, it's writing isn't terrible. That said, I'm not sure it will stay in my weekly rotation long term. As I tend to usually be drawn to more serialized shows. Human Target reminds me a lot of Burn Notice. Former spy type with band of friends making cash by protecting the inocent and having a crazy adenture of the week. Well done and fun, and I can most certainly enjoy a fun 40 min with both. But neither really grab a hold of me like something like Breaking Bad of Sons of Anarchy. Both underwatched, excellent shows that I highly recommend, btw. BB especially. I am going to continue pounding that drum until people wake up and recognize. ;)
And Kirk, Here is a pic of what the LOST bottle and usb key looks like.
i wonder how much those bottles are going to go for on eBay. Not that i want to buy one, just that it's going to be a pretty valuable collector's item.
What is the white thing in the bottle? A giant Dharma cigarette?
that USB key is awesome.
Human Target is an old skool action adventure show from the 80s or 90s on steroids. two episodes in and it's fun and funny. which are more than can be said about some shows on my DVR (i'm looking at you Heroes... and watching for some reason).
but, yeah, it's not very thought provoking or life changing. just dumb fun done well.
so, i wouldn't put it up against LOST or BSG. but it's "peers" are probably more along the lines of the new Knight Rider. and Human Target is a LOT better than that.
Dharma Machine Rolled Wacky Weed, jordan.
Nah, it's some sort of note. I think.
Jordan,
I'll beat the Breaking Bad drum with you. That show is outstanding. I was hooked after the first episode, and breezed through season 1 in less than a week.
The fight on the train was the best thing I've seen on tv in a while and I'm a sucker for nonlinear narratives.
Ah, the Deuce has hit the toddler stage.

- some fan made LOST posters: http://mattsoncreative.com/blog/2010/01/18/lost-posters/
- i've decided that i'm going to attempt to make a poster design each week based on the episodes of the 6th season. I will post them here and make them available as limited-edition prints.
those posters are pretty damn cool. some more than others but there's not really a stinker among them. really like the first one and the rabbit.
and yay for the team without brett favre!
Those posters are awesome.
I would totally be into anything you produced Andrew.
Holli
P.S. Me and my Abita Navigator are very happy right now.
P.P.S. We're even more happy because the Hubby finally got home and I got to watch Burn Notice. I love Burn Notice.
I'm digging the rabbit poster with the 8! Dude has some pretty cool ideas.
So - we do not know the exact date for the searies finale correct?
It sounds like there are supposed to be 15 weeks of episodes (2 hr. premiere, 13 eps., and then a 2 hr finale), but I'm not sure. I'm checking all my usual sources but not coming up with anything firm and in print for the actual LAST episode.
I ask b/c I'm wanting to start planning for being in Vegas with y'all (whoever can make it).
2 hour premiere + 13 episodes + 2 hour finale? That in total makes 17 episodes?
Am I wrong in thinking that last year it was announced that there was going to be another episode added, so they could squeeze more in?
That would make 18 episode all together! :D
also, i don't think the finalé's date has been announced yet, probably due to the break for the Winter Olympics.
8 days
By my math the finale will be 5/18. Unless there's a break.
I haven't heard them say anything about LOST Vegas in a while. Is it still on? I'm gona have to get off work and all that.
On the most recent Jay and Jack they said "sources" had indicated to them the finale would be 5/25. Maybe you can contact them MB to figure out how firm that date is.

Mo Ryan's Darlton Interview, part 2. No spoilers.
Anyone rewatching The Incident tomorrow night? Anyone heard if there will be pop-ups? I hope not.
I've got 8 hours to go in Season 1. Should knock out at least 3 today. I hate watching the end of Exodus, especially now that my son is 10. Tom totally deserved being shot by Sawyer. Remember back when people thought Karen DeGroot was on that boat?
Holli
Been lookin up ticket prices to las vegas in middle of may. not too bad. Of course I have no idea where kim/aimee r planning to do this. Anyone know anything?
remember when people thought that they were all in Purgatory? Or that it was a reality TV show? Or that they were abducted by aliens? Or that it was all the figment of someone's / Vincent's imagination?
I read that article and I can't understand why they keep bashing season 3. i mean I guess it's because they were 'spinning their wheels' early on but the latter half of season 3 is some of the best in the entire series.
look at LOST inkblots and watch Jorge Garcia, Nestor Carbonell, and Naveen Andrews speak Spanish with yet another Spanish LOST Commercial
Saints player has awesome Pac-Man related haircut. No wonder I wanted them to win last night!
Been flying around the eastcoast the past few days haven't had time to come online. The weather in NY is shit today so I'm stuck in my room reading stuff online and watching stuff on my laptop.
Daytime TV = X3.
The worst ep of Lost is "SOS". I would gladly sit through "Stranger in Strange Land" numerous times rather than watch "SOS" another time.
Thanks Holli! I had just sat through the 4 eps of 24 on my laptop and was trying to place the assassin dude the whole time. I did not realize it was Horrace.
On a related note, it's really weird that Freddie Prinze Jr. and especially Starbuck are on 24 now.
Lastly, Pres, the Saints did not win last night. The Vikings lost!
I like the Saints cuz they got Drew Brees (ex-Charger), but I was really hoping it would be Favre/Manning in the Super Bowl. Now I hope the Saints win it.
The fact that so many people are giving props to Human Target really makes me wish I had dvred the series.
What day is it on? I thought it was taking Prison Break's place before 24. (That show is done right?)
I guess I'll check it out on Fox.com for now.
Ready for part 3 any day now.
human target has been on on a sunday and a wednesday but will be on tuesday this week and then resuming its normally scheduled wednesday appearance next week. what's confusing about that?
so, one week until new LOST? bad ass!
sonny, i havent played Mass Effect 1 yet so i grabbed the PC version off of EA's online store for $9.99 yesterday. spent last night doing the digital download. gunna try it out today or tomorrow and then pick up Mass Effect 2 after a paycheck or two.
The Incident is on tonight.
7 days
It just hit me that Lost is gonna be on Tuesdays. Is that not weird to anyone else? Or have you guys already had a discussion about this.
It's probably better this way. Listening to podcasts from wed-fri, then weekend. Sadly no MNF so I guess watch 24, HIMYM and Big Bang Theory. Then Lost is back on. That's pretty good actually.
Seriously with shows switching days and times all the time and with me rarely watching shows live, I really don't know what day anything is on.
WTF is gonna happen to Scrubs? Isn't that on Tuesdays now? What day was V on? I think FF was on Thurs.
Props to whoever created programing your DVR to just record the new episodes of the series whenever it's on.
Tuesdays are perfect for me. Because of guitar lessons, there's no chance of me having to work! Being sent to the ER during Lost is a pain in the ass. If you don't watch uninterrupted you don't get the full enjoyment.
I can't believe LOST is almost here...soon it will be gone. I wish it was on Wednesday or Thursday. Tuesday seems too early. I associate watching LOST with getting past the hump of the work week, and smooth sailing into the weekend.
The Incident has been dumbhanced!
to me Wednesdays = LOST. but season 4 threw me all off so I'm good with whatever. If it came on Sunday at 3a.m. I'd watch it live
6 days
I agree with Kim re Lost being too early in the week, but I prefer it on Tuesday than Thursday. Mainly because at least you got different podcasts to get you through the week while the episode is still fresh. It's kind of fake listening to podcasts re Thursday's episode on Monday or Tuesday. Wow, I really sound like a geek.
Anyway, hopefully Kim and Aimee still do the Live show on a weekday. The live show was cool and made the work week more enjoyable.
Also, I got home from my flight at the end of Pop Up Video Lost.
Was there anything noteworthy in the Pop Ups?
I don't know why people are complaining about Lost being on Tuesdays... There's never anything good on tv, in the US at least, on a Tuesday.
Breaks up the monotony, innit. And it's got much less competition as well.
I like Tuesdays exactly because there's nothing on on Tuesday's as Ryan said. But it does have a weird feel about it.
Holli
Kid...really? I HATE doing the live shows on ustream. I'd rather just record the podcast and have you guys listen to it. Aimee and I go on for hours about nonsense--I personally think you'd find it boring. (But that's just me)
LOST airing on Tuesday, may not be as bad as I originally thought. Aimee and I are planning on recording our podcast on Wednesdays, that way I can edit (at work, lol) on Thursdays. However, if Wednesday don't work, it could be Saturdays before we can record...and that mean my procrastination my not get the podcast up until Mondays...*sigh*
We'll see.
I didn't watch the Pop-up video version of "The Incident", it's on my PVR. I think I may watch it this weekend if I don't go out.
Kim's lying.
She doesn't hate doing live streaming because she thinks we'd get bored after an hour... it's mainly because she gets too distracted by the chat too much.
Personally, I love the live streaming.
Kim should edit the personal stuff out and make a separate show out of it. Just for us. I love to hear her and Aimee talk about Chinese hair straightening and shopping at Forever 21. Good times.
Some of my favourite TLI's are when Kim and Aimee aren't talking about Lost, but taking the piss out of not very well endowed police officers and how men seem to continuously flash their junk at Kim.
LOL...I find it embarrassing.
I'll start a separate podcast on another feed: "Conversations with Kim"
YES! Bagsy me a spot on that sucker.
Sign me up!
I agree with Kid and Ryan, the live shows are fun.
Point of interest, I don't know if anyone here follows wrestling, but in case it hits the news, or anyone cares, my colleagues arrested Chris Jericho and Shane Helms last night. Apparently Matt Hardy was there too, but fled the scene. Good times.
What were they arrested for? I don't see anything online about it.
I find it curious that wrestling is the biggest sport right now yet I know no one that watches it. Maybe they are all afraid to admit it.
Alcohol Intoxication or "Drunk in Public" as Ron White would say. I'm not sure of the details, because I didn't ask, but it stemmed from some kind of dispute that the cops were called for.

jon, THAT is awesome.
when i was coming back from Virginia last summer, Shane Helms and Jeff Hardy were waiting for a plane at the same terminal as me. between us was a priest and next to me was a random ceramic pot that some girl asked me to watch for her. true story.
i guess we should just be glad that your co-workers werent scoop slammed or gorilla pressed or anything.
/80s wrestling FTW
What?!
The only reason I have a uStream account is cuz of the Live shows. I have used my uStream account a total of 0 times since the last Live show I watched/heard.
Most importantly, I don't understand why you edit the podcast (other than adding segment intros/outros and music).
Glad others agree with me re the Live show being awesome.
PALMER, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK AFTER STUFF FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU'RE IN AN AIRPORT!
anyways.
Nifty chart of Lost Connections
Funny thing, click on Kevin Callis or w/e his name was and see what comes up. it made me laugh.
Since it's finally less than a week away, the LOST premier just showed up on the Channel Guide on my cable box and seeing the episode in queue to record was pretty f'n awesome feeling!
I like LOST.
Steph are you kidding? Wrestling is the biggest sport?
Check the rating of the Saints/Vikings game.
If you add up every wrestling show in every company for the month of January, it will still not be more than that one game.
I think it probably goes
Football
MMA
Basketball
Baseball
Then maybe Pro Wrestling
Then Hockey and Nascar, etc.
I would be shocked if World Cup soccer doesn't do a good ratings for ESPN this summer.
I watched the RAW where Bret Hart came back. Other than the opening segment and the last segment the show was boring as hell.
i watched most of that dumbhanced airing of The Incident. I don't know how cannon those pop-ups are. It seems more like an ABC intern making guesses or cribbing from Lostpedia.
some interesting ones.
- they said the statue is of Taweret
- they said that Illana was in the hospital recovering from an accident. I know i'd seen people guess that she had some disease, like leprosy.
- they hammered home the point of Jacob touching people in the flashbacks & that somehow being related to their ending up on the island.
Ha ha.
Herlz, speaking of airport looking after. I asked this chick to watch my bags for a minute. She smiled at me and nodded. Taking this as a sign of acceptance, I reply thanks and rush off.
I return to find my stuff unattended and the chick nowhere to be found. Later I see her on my flight and she ended up sitting next to me. As I put my stuff away I thought, man if I don't call her out on this right away it's gonna be really awkward for me the entire flight (why would I bring it up mid flight). Whatever.
So I basically found out she speaks really little English. Still I had pointed to my bags. I don't get how you could not understand. This super reminded me of when Screech asked that dude to hold his place in line to go ask Zack what kind of tickets he should get.
Joe... I'm glad you're here. DAMN YOU GAMECOCKS! #1 was so nice for such a short amount of time.
Everyone in Memphis was a Gamecock fan last night, including me. Sorry Jon.

"For those who want to see it, the first promo on ABC with new season 6 footage will air on Sunday in "Desperate Housewives"." - CarltonCuse
i for one don't want to know anything about this season going in. I really appreciate the fact that ABC hasn't shown anything so far.
So if you do watch that footage, please comment about it on the messageboard and not on the blogspot.
Jon - I'm actually a Clemson fan, but I'll still root for USC. I like Kentucky this year (Wall's just gonzo), but the Cocks needed that win. I've never seen a school with such perennially mediocre sports teams year after year! Trust me, that'll be the closest they get to anything more than modest success the rest of the year.
...and on the subject of the new Season 6 footage coming out Sunday, I'm incredibly opposed to that move.
I just know some annoying douchebag is going to ask what I thought about some specific element of the preview and it's gonna piss me off to no end.
I'm still pretty peeved about the spoiler labeled as "Breaking News" on the Message in a Bottle contest page a couple of weeks ago.
Andrew, thanks for the heads up. I'll avoid Desperate Housewives.
Holli,,,, Where's the love? I understand though. UC football fans around here are still livid over Brian Kelly taking the Notre Dame spot.

All our Cal love was instantly dissipated by his defection and the subsequent NCAA problems he left in his wake. Everytime dude loses for years to come Memphis will regard it as victory. We're mean and petty that way.
I can't fault ABC re this last minute promo. All the people on the beach will have seen Episode 6.1. by that time and there will be line by line spoilers all over the internet. I don't begrudge ABC getting a tiny nudge in there for themselves, and since I don't watch DH I'll be safe.

yaaaaaaaaaay!!!
i've so far, only managed to get a couple of spoilers thrown at me against my will. and one of them was "it looks like [spoiler redacted]" so it may not even be true.
i did see a spoilery image in a promo thats already aired though. but its not a huge deal. did get me thinking though.
you're thinking?

Listen to Jordan here.
Viva LOST Vegas. Is that shit cancelled or wha? Maybe they mention it on Part 3.
So for all those that have missed the memo:
We not booking any Vegas trip until we hear the CONFIRMED FINALE date of LOST from ABC.
We've said it in about 3 or 4 podcasts, btw. Just sayin'...
ah my bad must not have paid attention
How did Locke get off the island? I can not remember.
He had to put the wheel back on it's axis because Ben messed it up somehow.

hey, look. our favorite LOSTies used to have crappier roles in other shows!
Kyle, we wake up too early.
I think Seasons 4-5 (5 in particular) will be better appreciated after a little time - like with Season 2. I know it seems to be many people's least favorite, but when you look at the plot elements and characters that were introduced in S2, it's pretty hard to imagine the show without them (like Ben or the DI). A lot of s**t went down in S2, and a lot went down in S5.
4 days
Stephanie -
The first time through S4 and S5 you know there were great moments but I pretty much thought they sucked. But on the rewatches I think I was wrong. Season 1 and 2 are 2 seasons I loved the first time and every time. And I know most people don't think that about season 2 but come on now Mr. Eko, Desmond, Henry Gale, Dharma, - great stuff. Season three was shitty at the beginning and middle but the latter half of it was so great it was fantastic.
But on S4 and S5 after rewatching them I liked them both much more than initially. In S4 I eventually really liked the freighter stuff and the new characters introduced sans Faraday/Charlotte. Frank Lapidus is great. Plus the on island stuff was pretty damn good. The Oceanic 6 and especially the Jack/Kate love episodes were god awful. Then in S5 the on island stuff was great for a while, I liked Dharma but it started to get old, 2007 stuff was incredible. But of course the O6 stuff up until 316 was awful as usual, but Ben made it a lot better. Then Jack's motivation for the bomb was AWFUL but whatever. I don't want to complain about every little thing this year.
Plus I give the writers some props for finishing S4 up in a strike shortened season pretty well.
That being said I have huge expectations for S6 and if I am disappointed it will suck. Won't change my opinion of the show but will really suck.
I am much more interested and invested in the character arcs of Hurley, Jin, Sun, Jack, er Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Desmond, Ben, Claire, etc etc - people I have gotten to know for a long time than I am say of Miles or Illana. Please don't introduce a bunch of new characters and give them 5 flashback episodes.

the recap show is at 8 eastern 7 central. show 9-11/8-10

Answers?!
Already posted this on the Twitter, but I figure I'd put it here as well, as it's so great, Better Off Ted, a show people here should've been watching, cuz it's great, but is likely to not get renewed due to average america giving it the Arrested Development treatment, hilarious show, too funny, this clip is of unaired outtakes from an episode about vulgarities in the workplace, the funny thing about it is in the ep itself being on ABC and all they used very tame PG rated insults, not so in this video.
/not about periods or sentence structure right now
And that video was great Steph. Those guys that do the Lost action figure videos are very talented.
THAT SAID, I don't care about 90% of the "questions" they mentioned. So many little mysteries or strange happenings have happened on the show and really, if you think about it, don't need to be explained. A lot of the stuff can simply be chalked up to, "whoa, that was weird." There obviously is some major stuff that needs to be addressed, and will. I just need to prepare myself for an all new level of annoyance when all the nerd gerblers spaz out about not knowing the origin of the Hurleybird or why exactly a ton of inconsequential crap happened. All I care about is they tell a good story and give a satisfying conclusion. I myself am not analyzing some grand math equation, expecting it to make be solved perfectly and with no irregularities. NERDS! SIGH.
I don't care about answers either, Jordan. I just want to be wowed. That's all I ask.
What would wow you Steph?
well, that didn't take long. first four minutes of LOST are up all over the internet. but i havent watched. i'll be good.
