Even though there was nothing juciy in it, I still got really excited when I saw that I had an email from the Dharma Initiative:

Octagon Global Recruiting, on behalf of the Dharma Initiative, would like to thank you for registering your expression of interest in our latest volunteer recruitment drive.

I decided to rent “Lost: Via Domus” and man is it a bad game. Now don’t get me wrong, I never expected it to be a great game or even a good game, but I had hoped that with writers from the show and the real actors doing the voice work it would at least be an “ok” game. The biggest problem (other than lack of story) is that the gameplay is in the vein of “Kings Quest” and “Monkey Island” but the puzzles lack any skill or intelligence. They are nothing more than fetch quests.

This skit from “The Daily Show” is soooo my view on politics.

There are lots of theories floating around about last night’s episode. I even spent over 2 hours  (updated) 4 hours discussing it with someone. However I only have one big theory I want to share and I’ll post it after the break… (Read on …)

There has been crazy time travel this season and I hope tonight’s 2 hour finale clears up on who and when and where its been happening.

Stole these from Pop Candy. Happy Mothers Day!

Just a reminder that “Lost” is back tonight! Wooo Hooo!

The producers of “Lost” convinced ABC that the 2-hour season finale really needs to be 3 hours long. They also insisted that the final 2 hours HAD to air back-to-back. Because of this, ABC had to re-do their may schedule and decided to give us an extra hour of “Grey’s.” The schedule looks like this:

May 15
8 pm: Ugly Betty
9 pm: Grey’s Anatomy
10 pm: Lost (part 1 finale)

May 22
8 pm: Ugly Betty finale
9-11 pm: Two-hour Grey’s Anatomy finale

May 29
8 pm: Lost encore (part 1 finale)
9-11 pm: Two-hour Lost finale

Watched the two “Battlestar Galactica” specials that are airing all this week on Sci-Fi channel. In the first, the show’s producers basically talk about how smart they are. In the second some tv celebrities/personalities talk about how they obsess over the show. You know what I thought when watching both specials? That “Lost” kicks “Galactica’s” fraking ass!

Josh Holloway isn’t the only “Lost” cast member to have appeared on “Angel.” Daniel Dae Kim appeared in 12 episodes as an evil lawyer named Gavin.

Man it’s Thursday and I’m totally depressed because “Lost” isn’t on.

Re-watched last week’s episode of lost and is it just me or did the old man in the hospital bed next to Micheal’s look like Alvar Hanso, the founder of the Hanso Foundation?

Since I’ve almost finished re-watching all seven seasons of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” I decided to add “Angel” to my Netflix queue. I was shocked when I watched the series permier and Josh Holloway showed up as a vampire. He only had a few lines and was killed within five minutes, but it was seriously sureal to see Sawyer as a vampire!

So here is what is going on… the current season will run for a total of thirteen episodes. Eight are already done and five more will be written and then air in April/May. This means that after the current run of seven episodes (they picked seven since the eighth episode has a large cliffhanger they don’t want to last for several weeks) the show will start up again on April 24^th to air the final six episodes of the season. Crazier still is that when “Grey’s Anatomy” returns on May 1^st, “Lost” will be bumped to 10p.m. timeslot. Obviously ABC is trying to take out CBS’s night.

Want to show your special someone that you really love them? Then send them a “Lost” valentine (click the pic above to enlarge).

Pop Candy is on a roll today cause it just pointed out “Sawyer’s Nickname Generator.” All you have to do is go here, answer three quick questions and then you’ll find out what Sawyer would call you if you were one of the Losties. Personally, I’m very content with “Lightbulb” as my name. I mean anything is better than “butterball.”

Saw this on Pop Candy, New York Magazine talked to striking writers and had them write mock scripts for other shows. The feature is pretty lame except for “The Daily Show’s” take on 13 other shows. A sample of which can be seen below:

• Lost - It turns out the island is actually a peninsula. Boy, are they embarrassed.
• Heroes - The power to keep track of all the new heroes becomes way rarer than invisibility or time travel. Seeking to scrimp on budgets, NBC rolls out an entirely special-effects-free spinoff called Bystanders.
• How I Met Your Mother - The show takes a dark and unexpected turn when Ted’s children are conceived, but then aborted.
• Pushing Daisies - Attempting to revive his strike-threatened show, Ned decides to “touch himself.” Unfortunately, he enjoys it so much he touches himself again, killing the series for good.

If you have an Xbox and want to win another Xbox then log onto your marketplace and hunt down an “Oceanic Airlines” banner (download the free Oceanic Airlines theme before February 10^th). The banner is hidden and moves so it may take you a few minutes to find it. Full contest details are here.

Here is my Theory about the recent viral campaign for “Lost.” (Read on …)

The ABC affiliate here in DC didn’t air the Oceanic Airlines commercial. That’s the commercial that was touted all week long so that “Lost” fans would watch “Eli Stone” to see it. How F*ed up is that? They trick people into watching a new show and then don’t even give them what they promised to give them. Instead the Oceanic Airlines commercial was cut for an Oprah promo!

Thank goodness for the internet. If you were like me and missed the promo then you can watch the You Tube video above. However… other than pointing to find815.com (a “Lost” viral site that has been known for about a month) I can’t figure out any significance to the commercial.

Let the death speculations begin (beware spoilers)… (Read on …)

I was only going to watch the re-airing of last year’s season finale of “Lost” so I could have on some background noise, but once the episode started I was glued to my TV. Just like the old “pop up videos” from the 90’s the whole two hour episode of lost was stuffed with random facts. Sometimes they were jokes. Sometimes they were odd facts. Sometimes they were just weird. But I totally enjoyed it! For those of you who didn’t watch here is a nice example:

This episode is entitled “Through The Looking Glass” a reference to the book by Lewis Carroll, his sequel to “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland” and a story that explores the theme of mirror opposites. Currently, Jack is in great despair, a mirror opposite of Jack, the leader on the island that we have come to know and love.

My only question about it was “Who wrote these?” Were these written pre-strike? Were they done by some marketing or PR person who isn’t a WGA member? I mean some of the pop-ups were so anal you’d think only a hardcore fan or writer of the show could have actually written them.

Want to know who all eight of the “Lost” episodes focus on? Then read after the break. (Read on …)

“Lost” is back for an eight episode run, starting this week and come February you can chill with the Losties on Xbox! So far the plot of the game is being kept very hush-hush. Writers from the show worked on the script and the game takes place during the events of season 1 and season 2. Some major settings include the plane crash, the caves, the beach camp, the shipwreck, and the hatch. After the break I have a full list of all the xbox game’s achievements: (Read on …)

Mathew Fox says in the new Entertainment Weekly that multiple endings have been filmed for episode 8 of “Lost.” The episode was supposed to have a big cliff hanger that would be resolved the following week, but because of the writers strike it will most likely be the season finale.

The season premier of “Lost” is quickly approaching, which means I have spoilers after the break. Be warned… do NOT READ if you hate spoilers! (Read on …)

Don’t forget, “Lost” returns for 8 episodes starting January 31^st (but be prepared because producers have said that episode 8 ends on a MAJOR cliff hanger that was only supposed to be left hanging for a week, not for a full season) and to help you get caught up, ABC has posted an 8 minute recap of the show’s first three seasons.

I’m sure you guys are getting tired of me posting about the WGA Strike so often, but about 70% of the things I regularly post about are TV Spoilers or TV news and because of the strike there is nothing new to post about since just about ever television show has shut down production. So either you get Strike Coverage or about 70% less posts.

Anyway, here is an awesome op-ed by “Lost’s” Damon Lindelof that ran in the New York Times:

TELEVISION is dying. 

I should have realized this four years ago when I first got my TiVo box, but denial is always the first stage of grief. I simply couldn’t acknowledge that this wonderful invention heralded the beginning of the end. (Read on …)

As the Writer’s Guild Strike commences it means many of our favorite shows will soon be nothing but re-runs. As a result, I’ve compiled a list of some of the shows that are and aren’t affected by the strike (update: a more detailed list can be found here): (Read on …)

The new season may not start until Febuary but I have a few spoilers for you. Check after the break to see what they are: (Read on …)
