Official video podcast — behind the scenes with the prop master

Posted on April 20, 2010 | Leave a comment

Rob Kyker, the prop master on LOST, shows off some cool props that were used earlier this season: the ankh in Hurley’s guitar case, the hour glass in the Temple’s pool-of-doom room, the scale with the black and white rocks in Flocke’s cave, Sawyer’s bottle of Dharma whiskey, and Jacob’s spinning wheel.

Wonderful caricatures of the LOST-ies by a MAD Magazine artist

Posted on April 19, 2010 | Leave a comment

What, me worry? Not when I just stumbled upon a fantastic stash of ink-wash caricatures of the LOST characters, done by MAD Magazine artist Tom Richmond.

He’s doing one a week up to the finale. So far, he’s done Jack, Kate, Sayid, Miles, Desmond — and my favorite of the batch, Flocke with a scary smile and smoke rising out of his shirt:

I’ve been catching up on some of the official podcasts —

March 25 audio podcast

Darlton, punchy after having just finished writing a draft of the finale, rehashed Ab Aeterno, prehashed The Package, considered the possibility that Flocke was not evil — and revealed the title of the finale — on the March 25, 2010 audio podcast.

March 30 video podcast

In this short video podcast, Darlton answered a fan question about whether the fish that Jacob was cooking in the Season 5 finale, The Incident, was, ahem, a red herring.

I love the idea that it was a kind of visual pun, and in fact, someone left a comment on this blog back in September putting forth the “red herring” idea — an idea I found really funny at the time and still do. Alas, in this podcast, Darlton deny that was their intent. But the whole podcast is so jokey, I don’t know if they can really be believed:

April 1 audio podcast

Darlton briefly rehashed The Package, talked about who might win in a Flocke-Widmore showdown, prehashed Happily After Ever, and answered questions about Richard Alpert’s hair, the squirrel baby, and, of all things, grammar. April 1, 2010 audio podcast

April 8 video podcast

In this video podcast, Nestor Carbonell gave a tour of the set of the Black Rock. He talked about how they filmed the scenes there in Ab Aeterno — how they created the illusion of the smoke monster, and how they got the boar, who wasn’t hungry, to gnaw on a body (don’t worry, it was just a dummy). Very interesting!

Official Podcasts — Recon, Dr. Linus, and Sundown

Josh Holloway in the "Making of" the Cool Water cologne videoCatching up on some of the ABC podcasts:

In this week’s video podcast, Josh Holloway talks about what is was like to play sideways Sawyer in Recon. He also talks about how the actors, when the show first started, never imagined it would be so successful.

And speaking of Josh Holloway, ABC also put out a promo full of clips of Sawyer, set to music:

Damon and CarltonIn last week’s audo podcast, Damon and Carlton talked about Sundown, raising the questions of whether Sayid was good or evil, and whether Dogen deserved what he got.

They talked about Dr. Linus, which Damon said was one of their favorite episodes of the season, if not the entire series.

They revealed something interesting about the episode title Recon: that it had a double meaning. It meant reconnaissance, but it also meant re-con, as in to con again.

They said that LOST: The Zombie Season will not be a Broadway musical, alas.

On a serious note, they said that the Man in Black may have gotten stuck in Locke’s form because that was the form he was in at the time that Jacob died.

Finally, Carlton got stymied by a viewer question about lactation.

This was the March 11, 2010 podcast, which you can find on the ABC site.
