A Love Letter About LOST by Paul Burrows
Six years ago Lost crashed into our living rooms and into our hearts and like the Smoke Monster it hasn’t let go. The Smoke Monster, the Polar Bears and “Where Are We?” have sucked us to the island like the giant magnet in Desmond’s Hatch. Once on the island we have followed the journey of Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke and many other memorable characters and learned many important life lessons which were the real heart of the show. We have debated, discussed and tried to figure out what’s inside the Hatch, Who the Others are and Why they follow a mysterious man named Jacob. Through this great journey LOST has given us great characters, important life lessons, mysteries to solve and most importantly a community of friends to debate and discuss something that we love.
When I first heard about Lost the idea of a group of people crash landing on an island full of mysteries it sounded awesome. It was about a seemingly deserted island where the people have to band together and fend off animals, environment, and each other. Then it’s revealed that there’s a giant Smoke Monster and another group of people there who not only won’t help, but kidnap and kill them one by one. There were so many mysteries about who these people were, what the monster was and most of all, what the island was. Lost was like an onion, the more that you peeled away, the more that you found out the more questions were raised. Over time as we found out who the Others were, we were left to wonder who this Jacob was. As we found out what or who the Smoke Monster was, we were left asking why he wanted off the island. Or when the Hatch was opened we wondered about Dharma. This infuriated some, but it kept millions of people coming back week after week. Mysteries were what brought fans to LOST, but the thing that grounded the show were the characters and their stories.
First episode we got one image of a scruffy looking man sitting on a piece of wreckage reading a piece of paper. This very short moment created such a mystery about this man and it created so many questions about who he was and what he was reading. Then there was the Hero of the story, or should I say Anti-Hero, a doctor who you would think had it all together. A man who had been part of the miracle of saving his wife’s broken spine, but still refused to believe in anything including himself. Or the story of a man who did believe things to a fault, whose trust in a Father lead him out a window to be smashed against the pavement below, but still miraculously survived and was healed by the island. And over the arc of the series, the scruffy Con-Man finally becomes a hero and leader, the doctor learns to believe, the believer’s faith is proven true, the girl on the run from the law learns to stop and help others, and the torturer redeems his soul through the ultimate sacrifice. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention one of the most important characters of the show, Michael Giacchino’s emotionally charged music is just as much of a character as Jack, Jacob or Ben, its enhances every scene that it’s in. Through the use of Flashbacks, Flashforwards and Flashsideways we come to know these people, and come to care for them. Over the course of the series we see their ups and downs as they struggle to make the choices to achieve their destinies. Through it all many important ideas are presented which cause us to stop and think about our own lives and who we are. Powerful ideas like destiny, choice, revenge, redemption, friendship, leadership, community, and many more. Unlike most of what’s on TV now LOST causes the viewer to think about what they are watching and even discuss it all with others.
The mysteries and characters not only caused people to come back each week, but it created such a devotion that millions of people flocked to the internet to create websites and blogs about the show, discuss and debate what was happening and would be happening, look up spoilers and even create their own art and music devoted to LOST. One of the greatest things about this is that communities were formed in places like Ain’t It Cool, Lost for Life, Spoiler TV and many, many other forums. Friendships were formed as people from all sorts of walks of life gathered together to be part of this growing experience. ABC started noticing the effect that this was having and started creating an Alternate reality game, which was a way for fans to stay excited about LOST during the long June to January hiatus and find out more information about the Lost world that the creators couldn’t fit into the actual show. Things like info on Dharma and its founders, the chance to become a member of Dharma. There was even a chance to buy LOST themed art created by up and coming commercial artists. This amazing atmosphere even inspired me to open a store and start creating LOST themed art and products.
Because of the multi layered mysteries, the deep and engaging characters and the community that has grown out of this show, LOST is a truly great experience that has and will affect TV programing for years to come. It tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you thinking about your own life. Lost is a great story with a legacy that is still being felt and will continue to do so for years to come.

What happened to Sawyer after he left the island
It look like we might actually find out what Sawyer did after he left the island! He became a Gumshoe!
Scoop: Will 'Lost' boy Josh Holloway join NBC's 'Rockford Files' reboot?
by Michael Ausiello
It’s been nearly three months since Lost ended and I’m still finding Easter eggs. My latest discovery: Sawyer’s purgatorial stint as a police detective may have foreshadowed Josh Holloway’s next career move!
News that NBC is taking another stab at rebooting the ’70s private-eye classic The Rockford Files—sans Dermot Mulroney in the title role—has revived talk that Holloway would look great in James Garner’s iconic (gum)shoes. And for the first time, that chatter appears to be spreading beyond my office!
A Peacock source tells me that the former Lostie’s name has been mentioned in connection to the project, but the insider stresses that there are no serious talks going on at this time. Meanwhile, House exec producer David Shore—who is shepherding the reboot along with Steve Carell’s Carousel Prods and Peter Berg’s Film 44—concedes that Holloway is a “viable choice,” but adds that “it’s too premature” to start naming names. A rep for the actor declined to comment for this story.
“NBC is still high on the project,” adds Shore. “They would like it to happen. Peter Berg’s involved producing and possibly directing and we will be looking for a new lead.”
The first attempt to revive the franchise crashed and burned last spring when the completed pilot received a thumbs-down from NBC execs.
“[It] looked like it was shot in the ’70s,” one source bemoaned to NYMag.com’s Joe Adalian. “You didn’t even know it was the current day until Jim pulled out his cell phone. It looked like Stephen J. Cannell directed it himself.”
Thoughts? Do you agree that Holloway has Jim Rockford written all over him? Or do you have another name in mind?

"Weezer" Pays Homage To LOST With New Album
Weezer's new album cover: The name, face of Hurley from 'Lost'
Aug. 10, 2010, 9:25 AM EST
Rockers Weezer have picked a picture of "Lost" star Jorge Garcia to grace the cover of their next album, "Hurley."
Front man Rivers Cuomo says the band struggled to come up with a title and accompanying image for their eighth album -- until they settled on a photo of the larger-than-life actor, who played Hurley on the desert island series.
"We struggled super hard trying to come up with an album title, trying to find some kind of phrase that summed up the whole aesthetic behind the album," Cuomo says.
"I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe. We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if (we) left it without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.' No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face."
But Cuomo said he wasn't always a "Lost" fan and only began watching the cult series after meeting Garcia, reports Spinner.com.
"I only made it through season two, so I was really nervous hanging out with Hurley/Jorge recently, because I didn't want to hear something about how it all resolves, or overhear anyone else talking about it. I really like the show though."
"Hurley" hits shelves in September.

"The New Man In Charge" Full 12 minute Epilogue
Looks like ABC/Disney made the poster of the video take it down along with all of the other YouTube videos. So if you didn't see it you'll have to wait until August 24th, but its way worth the wait.
I'm not sure if this is in the season 6 set, but it will be in the Entire Series Set. I found it here.

Final Shot of Comic-Con 2010
Man I was sad to leave, but going to Comic-Con always lifts and inspires me. I'm so glad that I was able to attend it and can't wait until next year!
Comic-Con 2010 Saturday: Lost Encyclopedia Panel
-Release date moved back to mid September or October.
-They started out showning a clip from the season 6 DVD bonus disc of Mark Pellegrino on being the island protector and choosing Jack to take his place. Nothing huge, but it was cool being able to see it.
- They also showed page layout of the book and they look really awesome. They are going to be super detailed and all of the entries will be in alphabetical order.
-There will be close ups of props .
-Along with layouts to all of the Dharma Stations.
-But this book will not fill holes of unanswered questions. They talked about how they love Lostpedia and other websites, but once they got the job of doing this they decided to not go to those sites anymore. They really tried to not put their own interpretations in the book, but to only write about what was in the actual show and webisodes.
-They wanted to do a Family connections map, but it would have been to huge. But there wil be a box on each characters page that will lead to all of the characters that they are connected to.
-They had access to the Temple sets and the translation to all of the eygptian symbols.
I got in line to ask a question and the kid in front of me was the actor was Sterling Beaumon (Little Ben) and there was tons of cameras going off which blinded me! LOL He asked if Annie would be in the book (I'm assuming that he was one of the special guests that the guide had mentioned. They said that there would be some stuff in there on her.-When it was my turn I asked if there would be a diffinative map of the island and just like Darlton would do they called a polar bear to come out and grunt about it as a distraction as if they had that planned all along. I asked them again afterwards and they confirmed that they would not have a map in the book. They had wanted to, but that Darlton said that they wanted to leave it to the imagination.
Afterwards I gave them each a set of my Trading Cards. I really can't wait for this to come out.

Waiting in line for the V Panel
The line for the V panel was a lot shorter then the one for the EW Panel and this one was on the busiest dat Saturday. Although the EW one was before the True Blood Panel and I'm guessing that a huge persentage of the crowd was actually Blood fan coming early to get a good seat. Fridays line went all the way back to the end of the building, but todays it only went back a few tents.
This guy was awesome, he worked eletrical at the San Diego Fairgrounds and he had real metal Wolverine claws that were attached by a handle to some biker gloves. I asked him how he got them through security and the told me that most of them didn't even bother to stop him, in fact one even stopped to admire them! But when one did stop him he told them thathe had bought them there! Which was kind of scary that there was a booth that sold that and real ninja swords since that day there had been two nerds fighting over a seat in a panel and one of them stabbed the other right below the other's eye!

Comic-Con 2010 Friday: TV Guide Magazine: The Hot List
Elizabeth Mitchell, Morena Baccarin and one other actor from V along with other actors from other shows were on the panel. New episodes of V will start shooting on August 12th. Morena Baccarin supprised everyone when she showed up with blonde hair both at the TV Guide and later at the V panels.
-The cast memebers of V spoke about how even serious moments they find time to crack up and laugh inbetween shots.
-Elizabeth was asked about always being chased wiether it be Lost or V and she said that yes she is always being chased, shooting or being saved.
I took this photo on my way out after seeing a night screening of the WB strait to DVD feature Batman: Under the Red Hood. I love how the circle just seems to go on forever.
Comic-Con 2010 Friday: EW Women Power Panel
I spent the morning wandering the hall and buying half off Graphic Novels, Transformers and other things. After that I got into the long and hot (since it was out side) line for Hall 20 the second biggest hall in the San Diego Convention Center.
Elizabeth Mitchell from from Lost and V, Anna Torv from Fringe and 3 other women from Scott Pigram and another movie spoke about being a woman in Hollywood, I was mostly interested in the Lost & Fringe stuff so that's what I'm reporting here.
Elizabeth Mitchell spoke about dangling in a well which received a huge response from the audience. She also spoke about how excited she got when she got her first flashback. Also how weirded out she was about her "The Other Woman" flashback.
One of the Movie actresses were talking about running around shooting guns and Anna Torv compared that to how she had recently been running around in a forest while shooting a future episode.
When asked about how nice it is that now women don't have to wear revealing clothes just like Men can now can show weaknesses, Anna Torv said that she was glad that her role always requires that she dresses up. She commented about how funny it was that on Fringe Olivia usually does all of the boy action stuff while the boys are usually found chatting in the kitchen.

Lost's Creators Talk Emmys and Life After "The End"
Today 8:09 PM PDT by Megan Masters
Guess who we just chatted with?!
We tracked down Lost's creative brain trust Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof tonight to pass along our Emmy congrats (the recently deceased series received twelve nods!), and between gentle sobs (literally!) of joy and loss, the one-time "radio silent" twosome opened up about life after the jet-setting phenomenon—just a little...
First, hi. It's so great to be talking to you both again. And congratulations on the eight Emmy nominations! What kind of emotions go into a day like today—knowing it's Lost's final season?
Carlton Cuse: We never for a minute take for granted that we're entitled to an Emmy nomination. Very worthy shows like Law & Order and 24 and Friday Night Lights weren't nominated today. We recognize that pleasing the fans at the end of Lost was very tall order, so we were extremely happy and gratified to the Academy's recognition for the work of everyone on the Lost team. It was especially gratifying to see that we got Emmy nominations for our really talented collaborators, as well.
Damon Lindelof: Emotionally, it's been a much different experience than we're used to because nomination day has always been on a working day for us. So we'd get the nominations in morning, I would come into Carlton's office, we would hug, we would do a little bit of press and then we'd go, OK what is episode three of season four going to be? This is one of those days when you really realize the fact that we're no longer making the show. We've always taken the month of June as a vacation, but the deeper we get into July without writing new episodes of Lost, the more it begins to sink in. It's like, wow, we're really done. It's one thing to write the final episode and to see the final episode, but now that sense of really looking back on it and it's really over—that cold, hard reality. In the stages of grieving, we're now moving into the acceptance stage, and that is a wonderful thing, but there is a certain degree of sadness to it, too.
Lost received a lot of Emmy love today. Do you think the nods were based more on storytelling and acting, rather than honoring its final season?
C.C.: I don't think you can get an Emmy nomination just based on nostalgia or longevity. If that was the case, Law & Order [would have, too.] What an unsurpassed accomplishment for that show to have been on the air for 20 years! That is stupendous. But we were extremely lucky and we remain enormously grateful to ABC for allowing us to end the show on our own terms. The key for Damon and me in doing so was that the story wouldn't go on too long. That we could end Lost before people got tired of it. We didn't have to stretch our storytelling beyond what we had imagined for the series. To actually get nominated after being able to do that has just made today an awesome day all the way around.
Had the two of you always intended on submitting Lost's finale, "The End," for Emmy consideration, or where there other contenders?
C.C.: It wasn't a preplanned thing, but we'd written the finale and shot it and felt really good about it, and it was at that point we made a decision to submit that episode. It did feel like it was representative of our work, and it was the appropriate culmination of the show and might be the best thing for us to submit, so that's what Damon and I decided to do.
ABC/RICK ROWELL
D.L.: We certainly had a conversation about it, and we alternate playing devil's advocate. The concern for Lost with the Emmys has always been that you don't want to submit an episode that would make no sense to somebody who's never seen the show. And maybe there were some self-contained episodes this season that would work better, but in the final season there are no self-contained episodes of Lost. Even in episodes like "Ab Aeterno," it works because of three seasons of wondering who Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell) is. So the conclusion was, if the finale is not the episode we should be submitting, then season six doesn't really deserve to be nominated for an Emmy.
Have you spoken to any other Lost Emmy nominees today?
C.C.: I've not spoken to the actors directly. I've exchanged some emails with fellow nominees, but it is a little bit different this year because we're not in the office, we're not working, we're not sitting down together having breakfast. It's a little different feeling, but there's plenty of love going back and forth between everybody on the show. It's been a really celebratory day. The hidden secret of Lost's success was the incredible alchemy between everyone who worked on the show. It's been one of those days where we've been happy to have an excuse to be back in communication with each other.
D.L.: It feels like before [the end of Lost], the first thing Carlton and I would do when anybody was nominated for anything, we'd get on the phone and congratulate them. Because we were their bosses and that's what you do. But we're not their bosses anymore, now we're just all friends who worked on a show together. And that started on finale night, when we all came together it felt like we all made the show together and there is not hierarchy because we're not working together. We were able to drop the business-like attachments of the show. We were just able to hug each other and cry it out and be emotional and cool with each other. High school is over, we're graduating, everybody's going off to college, we'll always look back at this time with tremendous affection—And [Sarcastically] I don't miss it one bit.
Why break your radio silence now? Was that always the plan, too?
D.L.: It wasn't a thought at the time. Every year after the finale we've always gone into radio silence just because we're pretty sick of ourselves, so we can't even imagine what everybody else thinks of us. And we've always broken our radio silence at Comic-Con, and this year we're obviously not going to Comic-Con because it's about promoting something to come. The idea of looking back on the show is not something we were particularly interested in, looking back at ourselves. But around a week ago, Carlton and I had both been on vacation and received an email from someone at ABC asking [if we would] be willing to do some press. And that was our first contact with each other where it was like, alright, of course. If the show gets recognized, it feels totally appropriate for us to express out feelings about how awesome that is. There's no reason to not talk about Lost ever again, it's just not in our DNA. Had the show not been nominated for anything, I'm sure Carlton and I would have emerged at some appropriate time over the summer to talk about—
CC: To begin begging for work at Starbucks. [Laughs.]
Before you go, we'd love to know if you have any other Emmy nominated faves this year—besides Lost, of course.
C.C.: I was very happy for Ryan Murphy to see how much love Glee got. It's exciting that the show really feels like it's in the zeitgeist now, and for us having been fortunate to ride that zeitgeist wave for awhile, it's great to see that Ryan is surfing it, too. He's a wonderful guy and the show is worthy of all the attention it's getting.
D.L.: And also Carlton and I, and all the writers in the writer's room's favorite show this year was Modern Family. We would talk about it every Thursday morning. And Steve Levitan and Chris Lloyd are just really class acts, and everyone on that show is so sweet. Also, in the year Lost came about, it was Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy, and people were saying all hail the drama, and the return of comedy is dead. Since Friends and Seinfeld, there really hasn't been anything. And now you look at comedy and there's not just Glee and Modern Family, but also The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men, and comedy has never been bigger. Comedy is completely strong. And that's not even mentioning 30 Rock and The Office, which are two incredible comedies. On the drama side, it was really cool see Matthew [Fox] get recognized as lead actor, but also to see somebody like Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton break into that mix. Friday Night Lights is clearly a show that's gotten enormous critical acclaim, but just never connected with Emmy voters, and it's really cool that it finally got acknowledged.
And that's all, folks. Do you love Darlton, or do you love them? And how much do you miss Lost, because those almost-tears on the phone were very real, and the mere sound of Damon and Carlton's voices pushed up over the edge. In the best way, of course.

Lost Emmy Nominations
Man I really hope that Lost sweeps this just like Return of the King did for the Oscars. Kind of an overall set of awards for the entire series. I expected the Emerson and O'Quinn nominations, but I was pleasantly surprised at Fox for Actor and Mitchell for Guest Actress. The Jack Bender nomination was great also along with Darlton for Writers. I love how the web/DVD special "Mysteries of the Universe" is going up against all of the teeny bopper stuff.

EW: Exclusive First Look: How 'Lost' should have ended
I love this even though I loved the ending of the series.
by Michael Ausiello
It’s been a month since the Lost finale aired and you know what that means: Make way for the parodies! The silly kids over at How It Should Have Ended — the Starz Digital animated web series that proposes alternative conclusions to popular movies and TV shows — have set their sights on the polarizing Lost swan song. And the results are undeniably ROTFLMFAO…

Avatar, Lost Rack Up Saturn Awards
Today 6:30 AM PDT by Josh Grossberg
King of the World? More like King of the Universe.
Here's one more feather in his Na'vi cap: James Cameron's space-themed Pocahontas tale dominated last night's Saturn Awards, taking home Best Science Fiction Film, Best Director, Best Writer and Best Actor and Actress for stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, who played the marine grunt sent to Pandora and the Na'vi princess he falls for, respectively.
The ceremony, which took place in Burbank, honors the most accomplished works in the sci-fi, fantasy, thriller and horror genres and the Titanic helmer has long been a mainstay. In fact, Avatar marks a personal triumph for Cameron who holds the mark for most Saturn victories, having won twice for directing and writing. He was also feted with the Visionary Award.
All in all, the blue-tinted blockbuster won 10 trophies including Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver, Best Music for composer James Horner and Best Production Design and Special Effects (natch) to the team of Joe Letteri, Stephen Rosenbaum, Richard Baneham and Andrew R. Jones.
Other notable winners on the film side: Watchmen, which snagged Best Fantasy flick, and Sam Raimi's Drag Me To Hell, which was named Best Horror film. While Quentin Tarantino's WWII revenge fantasy thriller Inglourious Basterds took a scalp of its own, Best Action-Adventure thriller, last summer's surprise hit District 9 scored Best International Film, and Monsters and Aliens landed Best Animation prize.
On the tube side, while Lost gets ready to enjoy a long after-life in syndication, its final season found the acclaimed ABC serial mystery earning a Saturn for Best Network TV Series while star Josh Holloway quipped his way to a Best TV Actor win for his role as everyone's favorite con-man, James "Sawyer" Ford.
Not to be outdone, J.J. Abrams' other baby, Fringe, garnered kudos for Best TV Actress for Anna Torv and Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy for Best Actor in a guest-starring role. While Breaking Bad broke in with Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series.
For making one of the best sequels of all time in The Empire Strikes Back and bringing unexpected depth and heartfelt emotion to George Lucas' space opera franchise among other cinematic achievements, veteran filmmaker Irvin Kershner was honored with the Life Career Award, appropriately enough on the Star Wars film's 30th anniversary.
The big loser of the night? Guy Ritchie's amped up take on Sherlock Holmes which uncovered eight nominations but walked away empty-handed.

Here's one more feather in his Na'vi cap: James Cameron's space-themed Pocahontas tale dominated last night's Saturn Awards, taking home Best Science Fiction Film, Best Director, Best Writer and Best Actor and Actress for stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, who played the marine grunt sent to Pandora and the Na'vi princess he falls for, respectively.
The ceremony, which took place in Burbank, honors the most accomplished works in the sci-fi, fantasy, thriller and horror genres and the Titanic helmer has long been a mainstay. In fact, Avatar marks a personal triumph for Cameron who holds the mark for most Saturn victories, having won twice for directing and writing. He was also feted with the Visionary Award.
All in all, the blue-tinted blockbuster won 10 trophies including Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver, Best Music for composer James Horner and Best Production Design and Special Effects (natch) to the team of Joe Letteri, Stephen Rosenbaum, Richard Baneham and Andrew R. Jones.
Other notable winners on the film side: Watchmen, which snagged Best Fantasy flick, and Sam Raimi's Drag Me To Hell, which was named Best Horror film. While Quentin Tarantino's WWII revenge fantasy thriller Inglourious Basterds took a scalp of its own, Best Action-Adventure thriller, last summer's surprise hit District 9 scored Best International Film, and Monsters and Aliens landed Best Animation prize.
On the tube side, while Lost gets ready to enjoy a long after-life in syndication, its final season found the acclaimed ABC serial mystery earning a Saturn for Best Network TV Series while star Josh Holloway quipped his way to a Best TV Actor win for his role as everyone's favorite con-man, James "Sawyer" Ford.
Not to be outdone, J.J. Abrams' other baby, Fringe, garnered kudos for Best TV Actress for Anna Torv and Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy for Best Actor in a guest-starring role. While Breaking Bad broke in with Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series.
For making one of the best sequels of all time in The Empire Strikes Back and bringing unexpected depth and heartfelt emotion to George Lucas' space opera franchise among other cinematic achievements, veteran filmmaker Irvin Kershner was honored with the Life Career Award, appropriately enough on the Star Wars film's 30th anniversary.
The big loser of the night? Guy Ritchie's amped up take on Sherlock Holmes which uncovered eight nominations but walked away empty-handed.
Here's a complete list of kudos for the 36th Annual Saturn Awards:

DVD preview: What can we expect from 'Lost: The Complete Collection'?
Jun 23, 2010
Today I got an in-person sneak preview of one of the most anticipated DVD releases of the year: Lost: The Complete Collection. The 37-disc set looks pretty spectacular ... and so do the bonus features.
First off, let's just take a look at this set, out Aug. 24 (from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment):
Here's a photo of the 'Lost: The Complete Series' DVD set, out Aug. 24.
CAPTIONWalt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
It comes in a black box that looks big enough to contain a board game -- and it does! The set comes with a fold-out Senet board and black and bags of white rocks. It also contains a small black light, which is a little puzzling; I was told there are some elements to the set fans will have to "figure out for themselves." Intriguing.
The episode guide wasn't available for preview, but it's also part of the set, as is the ankh and the island replica. Here's a pic I took today for another view:
Here's another view of the 'Lost: The Complete Series' DVD set, out Aug. 24.
CAPTIONWhit's iPhone
As for bonus features, I watched part of the "Slapdowns," where celebrities/Muppets face Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. In a feature called "Letting Go," the cast reflects on the series, and we see the empty post-Lost set. (Naveen Andrews looks quite fetching in that one.)
Lost University also returns with the release of The Complete Collection and Complete Sixth and Final Season. Fans/graduates will now be able to take part in a "master's program" that focuses more on theology, rather than last year's program, which included a lot of science and time travel. One not-to-miss course: "Exploring Spanish with Nestor Carbonell."
Finally, most of us can't wait for the "new chapter" of Lost -- 12 minutes of never-before-seen footage from Lindelof and Cuse. (Note: This is also available on the Season 6 set.) I was treated to one minute of this. I begged to see more, but no dice.
I don't want to reveal too many spoilers, and there are some spoilers from that 60 seconds, including the "when" and "where." But I will tell you the clip I saw featured Michael Emerson and "Dharma peas." Draw your own conclusions.
The DVD collection costs $229.99, while the Blu-ray discs will set you back $279.99. According to the box, it contains 5,074 minutes of material about Lost. Start clearing your calendar! I smell a marathon (and fish biscuits).

'Hawaii Five-0,' 'Event' set for Comic-Con
'Sons of Anarchy,' 'No Ordinary Family' also confirmed
By James Hibberd
June 8, 2010, 08:55 PM ET
Check out the full list of shows headed to Comic-Con at The Live Feed
Can a CBS crime procedural make a big splash at a fanboy convention?
The network is bringing its new police drama "Hawaii Five-0" to the July 22-25 Comic-Con, just one of several cop shows and offbeat choices invading the increasingly broad-based fan event.
In addition to "Five-0," ABC is touting crime show "Castle" and FX will field a panel for outlaw biker drama "Sons of Anarchy" -- both for the first time.
The additions come after Fox and USA Network helped trailblaze Comic-Con for procedurals last year with panels for "Bones," "Burn Notice" and "Psych." All three drew a large enough crowd to earn a return performance this year, plus USA is adding a panel for "White Collar."
Though the dramas play in more grounded genres than such Comic-Con TV pioneers as ABC's "Lost" and Syfy's "Battlestar Galactica," each choice needs to present a compelling case to be included in the lineup. Comic-Con picks are debated by networks and studios and discussed with Comic-Con organizers -- who veto shows from participating if they're too off-brand.
All agree it's not in anybody's best interest for a show to go to the event if fans ridicule its inclusion or fail to pack its ballroom. (Networks declined to comment for this report since Comic-Con organizers prefer to announce the event schedule).
In the case of "Five-0," there are a few factors that make the show more Comic-Con friendly than one might expect. It's a remake of a 1970s series, it's CBS' tentpole new title for the fall and it boasts heavy amounts of action. But what best lures Comic-Con fans to a new show is the panelists, and "Five-0" has former "Battlestar" veteran Grace Park and ex-"Lost" co-star Daniel Dae Kim, not to mention "Star Trek" producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
Networks are using similar logic behind including "Sons" and "Castle." "Sons" stars "Hellboy" lead Ron Perlman and "Futurama" co-star Katey Sagal, while "Castle" has "Firefly" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" star Nathan Fillion.
Some other new shows making their Comic-Con debut include NBC thriller "The Event" and superhero drama "The Cape"; ABC superhero family drama "No Ordinary Family"; AMC zombie drama "The Walking Dead"; and the CW's action-series "Nikita." Fox's new animated show "Bob's Burgers" will be there, as will Steven Spielberg's new dino-drama "Terra Nova."
TBS hasn't had conversations with Conan O'Brien about attending Comic-Con, but having its new late-night host make an appearance would seem to be a smart play.
The San Diego event also will host a slew of returning shows, including Fox's "Glee," "Fringe" and "Human Target," ABC's "V," Starz' "Spartacus," the CW's "Vampire Diaries" and NBC's "Chuck."
The list will continue to fill out as Comic-Con gets closer.

Lost: Jorge Garcia Dishes on Secret DVD Scene--and What He Really Thinks of Finale
Tue., Jun. 8, 2010 1:30 PM PDT by Kristin Dos Santos
Good news for those of you still struggling to "let go" from Lost: Jorge Garcia confirms that there is indeed an extended bonus scene he shot with Michael Emerson for the upcoming full-series DVD collection. Holler!
We just caught up with the island's awesome new "No. 1" at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in, you guessed it, Monte Carlo, and here's what he dished:
"It will address some of the issues, like the food drops, and it will deal with what happened on the island after Hurley took over and how he handled things," Garcia reveals of the DVD bonus feature he shot. "It will give you a taste of what took place after Hurley took over as the new number one. There's a little epilogue thing going on with the DVD."
That little epilogue will be available to fans when Lost: The Complete Collection is released on DVD and Blu-ray August 24.
Inside sources also told me that Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) will be shown in the bonus material. "We'll find out what happens to Walt," says the insider. But when asked who else he worked with, Jorge replied coyly: "There are other people in it, but I'm not going to tell you who." Hmmm!
So now that he's done with the show and can really tell us what he thought of the controversial series finale, what does Jorge have to say?
"I loved it," Jorge says. "When I first got the finale script, it didn't have the final act in it yet. But I got to the part where Hurley takes over and there was a kind of a sigh of relief. I thought OK, this ending is a satisfying ending for me. Everything I invested in this show does pay off. And so I'm good, the ending is good, and I don't have to worry about it."
And though many viewers didn't see that twist coming—that Hurley was named the protector of the island after Jack decided to sacrifice himself—Jorge says he and Matthew Fox both had a sneaking suspicion. "During the whole season, Matt Fox and I were going back and forth, going, 'It's going to be one of us, it's not going to be one of them, its got to be one of us.' So yeah, I liked it [the ending], it was quite heavy."
Now that Lost is gone for good, Jorge says he's ready for another TV acting gig, when the time is right. "Because of the success of Lost I am able to be a little bit picky, which is nice," Jorge admits. "I have been sent three or four scripts for television series, but there wasn't anything I really wanted to do. I want to tell a good story, whether it's a TV show, a movie, whatever. That's really my No. 1 criteria."
Looking back, Jorge says that shooting Lost was the best of times—and sometimes, the comically worst of times. "During the pilot, they brought a bright light to an undeveloped area of the island that had probably never seen light at night, and all sorts of bugs came out of the forest," Jorge remembers with a laugh. "Many of them landed in my hair and during breaks they would have to come and pick them out. It is my worst memory, because even after I got home, after we thought they had all been taken out, two more bugs fell out into the drain when I was taking a shower."
As for the good: "A collection of things come to mind, but one in particular stands out. One time we were working on a scene and a whale breached for like five minutes, and we all just paused and watched it happen and afterward we just sat back and said, 'You don't see that when you're working on a set in Burbank.' " And how.
Are you looking forward to seeing Ben and Hurley's time on the island as No. 1 and No. 2? Who else are you hoping to see?

Josh Holloway Hates ''Granny Panties''
The 'Lost' actor - who has a 14-month-old daughter, Java, with his wife Yessica Kumala - loves looking at beautiful women in skimpy underwear but admits his biggest turn-off is oversized underwear and baggy clothing.
He said: "The hottest thing is lingerie. The least sexy outfit is baggy sweat pants and a large T-shirt. And granny panties!"
The 40-year-old hunk is also scared off by women who fill their bedroom with stuffed toys and wedding magazines.
He said in an interview in the June issue of Women's Health magazine: "One stuffed animal is fine, but if there are a lot, that's scary. Another warning sign is when a woman has too many pictures of herself around. And the worst: baby and bridal magazines!"
Although he is clear about what traits put him off a woman, Josh also knows what he likes and he adores women who are cute, pretty and hot.
He added: "It's nice if a woman has a bit of each. Cute is the fun part you play around with every day. Pretty is nice to look at. And hot is sex."
However, Josh hasn't always been the ideal boyfriend and was once smashed over the head with a picture frame as a teenager when his girlfriend found out he had cheated on her.
He said: "I had a girlfriend, but I agreed to go to another girl's prom at a different school. My girlfriend busted me and broke a picture frame over my head. I believe it was a montage of photos of us. I didn't need stitches though. It was a nice, clean smash.

'Lost' Villian Ambushed by Brandy!

Emerson was having a friendly chat with our photog at LAX on Saturday, when Brandy politely interrupted just to say she's a huge fan. The whole encounter lasted less than 10 seconds ... and it's unclear if Michael (or our photog) even knew she was famous!
Brandy tweeted after, "OMG! I just met Michael Emerson from the series Lost. I lost my mind! Straight up FAN. I wanted to take a flick but I was too shy to ask.
"You're welcome, Brandy.

‘Shield’ Creator: ‘Lost’ Bosses Should Be ‘Very Happy’ With Finale
by Matt Webb Mitovich
May 26th, 2010 2:29 PM
Shawn Ryan, whose ‘The Shield‘ has often been held up this week as a gold standard for series finales, tells Fancast that ‘Lost’s showrunners “should be very, very happy” with the way they wrapped up their show.
“I have a feeling that Carlton [Cuse] and Damon [Lindelof] were ultimately pleased with what they did,” Ryan says. “And that’s the important thing.”
Sunday’s two-and-a-half hour ‘Lost’ finale rankled some fans by revealing that the “sideways” reality that shared the stage this season was a pre-afterlife “holding area” and not an existence that actually happened.
Also, numerous mythological questions were left unresolved. As such, some viewers felt cheated – if not pretty darn confused.
“You really and truly cannot please everyone,” Ryan notes. “A lot of critics really liked the ‘Shield’ finale, but I also read plenty of people online who wanted something different, or something more.”
We’d hate to spoil ‘The Shield’ for anyone who might dive into that complete series DVD set, but in a nutshell its finale delivered heaps of comeuppance to those who deserved it. Some fans, though, took issue with the fate assigned Michael Chiklis’ Vic Mackey.
Ryan makes this observation: “As finales go, time changes perspective, so just because [the way 'Lost' ended] might be polarizing now, it doesn’t mean that a year from now the majority might fall to one side or the other.”
Ryan also stresses perspective when considering the source of critiques. Those born of fan blogs versus professional critics “tend to offer extreme points of view that do a lot of shouting and don’t necessarily represent the vast majority,” he points out. “Hopefully [Cuse and Lindelof] aren’t spending all of their days reading them, good or bad.”
Ryan also shares his opinion on series finales for the ‘Lost’ Season 6 DVD set coming out August 24.
As for ‘The Shield’ returning to the spotlight this week in the wake of ‘Lost,’ ‘24′ and ‘Law & Order’ signing off, Ryan – who executive-produced Season 2 of Fox’s ‘Lie To Me,’ returning June 7 – says, “That show is very near and dear to me, so anything that brings it back into the public consciousness is great.”
Shawn Ryan has a new drama premiering on Fox during the 2010-11 TV season, the Chicago-based cop drama ‘Ride-Along.’

'FlashForward' fans plan to reenact 'blackout' to try to save ABC show
Friday, June 04, 2010
Posted by Corinne Heller at 04:16:34 PM PDT
FlashForward fans plan to stage their own "blackout" on June 10 by pretending to pass out in front of ABC offices around the world to protest the network's recent cancellation of the show after its debut season.
"On June 10th, 2010......Fans of ABC's canceled FlashForward are going to blackout for 2 minutes and 17 seconds," Save FlashForward campaign's website states. "Come join us in a protest to change the doomed future of FlashForward.
In the sci-fi series, which starred LOST's Dominic Monaghan and Sonya Walger, the characters cope with the aftermath of a mysterious global "blackout" that lasted two minutes and 17 seconds, which rendered them unconscious. When they wake up, they receive what appear to be visions of their future on April 29, 2010 - six months away.
ABC confirmed in May that it had cancelled FlashForward. The show debuted in September 2009 and its ratings dropped steadily since then. FlashForward fans plan to launch their demonstrations, to try and save the show, in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and London.
"We are sending calendars with 4/29 circled, friendship bracelets and letters to show our continuing support for FlashForward and we are sending them to the head of ABC, Stephen McPherson, who with a flick of his pen can give it second life," the campaign's website said, referring to the president of ABC Entertainment Group.
"We are getting FLASHFORWARD a SECOND SEASON!" it said. "SAVE FLASHFORWARD!!"
The campaign also urges fans to send homemade videos of themselves pretending to black out and then have a "FlashForward".

'Lost' star Evangeline Lilly: Children's book author?
by Adam Markovitz
Lost looker Evangeline Lilly dropped by Craig Ferguson’s couch last night for some after-hours chit chat. And after covering a few non-kid-friendly topics (Ferguson’s snake-shape mug, the potential removability of Lilly’s dress, etc.), she shifted gears to give a sneak peek of a children’s book she’s writing called Squickerwonkers (we’re guessing at the spelling there). Here’s a sample:
“The name is Squickerwonker, perhaps unknown to you. But that’s it, Squickerwonker. And here’s what Squickerwonkers do…”
Of course, Lilly didn’t spend six years on that island for nothing: She ends her little recitation with a Lost-worthy cliffhanger about the Squickerwonker’s “horrible secret.”
Are they actually smoke monsters? Or maybe they exist in an alternate universe? Lilly says she doesn’t have any firm publishing plans yet for the book, so I guess we’ll all just have to hang in there for a while. But you know what? The whole thing actually sounds kind of cute. We’d totally pre-order a copy for ourselves our appropriately aged cousins next Christmas.

Posted:June 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 am
Andy Garcia, Eva Longoria Parker, Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace), Peter O’ Toole, and Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek) will star in the Mexican historical epic Cristiada. Variety reports that the film centers on the 1926-1929 Cristero War, “touched off by a rebellion over the Mexican government’s 1917 attempt to remove the influence of the Catholic Church and secularize the country.” Chronicles of Narnia visual FX supervisor Dean Wright will direct the film from a script he wrote with Michael James Love. The film also stars Oscar Isaac (Robin Hood) and Nestor Carbonell (Lost).

Lost’s Michael Emerson picked to educate the masses
Posted by: Estella
No one could ever accuse me of being overly Scientific, except when it comes to methods for applying eyeshadow so that it doesn’t crease or fade (oh yes, there ARE ways). But when you bring Michael Emerson aka Ben Linus of Lost into the equation, I can maybe get a tad interested in science.

Dr. Craig Venter has recently announced he and his team have created a living, self-replicating cell. That’s pretty major. Even I know that. Because this is a big break- through for science, and causes so many questions in the religious and scientific worlds, the Science Channel is airing a special all about it.
This special is called Creating Synthetic Life and it will air on Thursday, June 3rd at 8pm EST. Is the Dharma Iniative involved? Well, just a tad. Ben Linus aka Emmy-Award winning Lost alumnus Michael Emerson will be narrating the special for us. As if science couldn’t be freaky enough on its own, eh? Kidding!
Following the special at 9pm ET, Science Channel will present Creating Synthetic Life: Your Questions Answered with Emmy Award-winning journalist Paula Zahn hosting a roundtable discussion with Dr. Venter; journalist and author Michael Specter; futurist, inventor and author Raymond Kurzweil; George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard University; Father Nicanor Pier Giorgio Austriaco and others, exploring important ethical, scientific and societal questions surrounding Dr. Craig Venter’s recent announcement.

Lost: How It Began
Why the most expensive pilot in TV history was worth every penny
Share Comments Add your comment Cursed numbers. Hidden hatches. Miracle cures. Tropical polar bears. Wrinkles in time. Flashbacks, flash-forwards, and, yes, flash-sideways. Over the last six seasons, Lost has taken us on an adventure so trippy and labyrinthian, it's almost hard to remember how it all started. So before we reach the end of this magical mystery about a group of plane-crash survivors marooned on a freaky island, let us relive the story of the two-part Lost pilot, which in the fall of 2004 made jaws drop across the nation and raised hopes of what a network drama could be. Buckle up for a wild ride involving an out-of-control hunk of flaming metal, a furry killer pillow, and a sweaty Matthew Fox.
