Life is a Chessboard — a Season 6 promo from Spain

Posted on November 29, 2009 | 1 comment

Proving once again that other country’s LOST promos are much cooler than our own, this promo from Spain presents the LOST characters as pieces on a chessboard, while a narrator recites this poem:

The wise man said
Life is a chessboard
of nights and days
where men are pawns of God
moved here and there
God allows them to kill
and kills
and piece by piece
he puts them back in the box
because there’s a destiny for every piece
for every player
and for God

Sl-LOST posted the video, translated the narration, and added the subtitles. Via TVOvermind.

Update 11/30/09: Post added with info about the author and source of the chessboard poem.

Update 2/20/10: The original promo has been pulled from YouTube, but there are two versions in English that are available, at least for now.

I’ve also posted a video showing how the promo was made.

Damon asks, “What if Oceanic 815 never crashed?”

Posted on November 25, 2009 | Leave a comment

Here’s another sneak peek from the Season 5 DVDs. It’s about Daniel Faraday, the Jughead bomb, time travel, and other Season 5 themes and concerns.

Listen, at the very end of the clip, where Damon Lindelof says:

We wanted to flirt with the idea of the erase button, of the do over. We thought this was a really cool place to bring the finale, which is, what if Oceanic 815 never crashed?

How much of a hint is that to what’s going to happen in Season 6?

Is it a hint that Season 6 really is going to be about an alternate timeline where Oceanic 815 will land intact in Los Angeles, as many fans already believe?

Or is this a bit of misdirection, to divert us from the writers’ actual plans, so that come next season, we will be surprised? When Damon says they wanted “to flirt” with the questions of Oceanic 815 never crashing, does he mean the kind of flirtation that will never be consummated?

Official Season 6 promo poster — enormous blow-up

Detail from Season 6 promo poster

That’s just one detail of a small area of the poster. See the whole poster on TVOvermind: monster-sized blow-up of LOST promo poster.

It looks as if everyone who has ever been a major cast member is on there, with one notable exception. (Hint: Name starts with W and ends with T.)

The biggest mystery is why is Locke facing away from us when everyone else is facing forward?

Will LOST still be on Wednesdays?

Update 11/19/09: ABC just announced that LOST Season 6 will be on Tuesday nights.

———————–
Original post below:

ABC will be cancelling Eastwick after 13 episodes. That will leave a 10 PM Wednesday night slot open, which seems perfect for LOST.

But E! Online reports that ABC is thinking of moving Ugly Betty into that time slot in order to make Wednesdays solid nights of comedy.

P.S. Eastwick is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Though it’s not a brilliant show like LOST, it’s a lot of fun, with exuberant acting, a dab of suspense, and more strong women characters per square inch than the vast majority of shows on TV.

This may be a lost cause (no pun intended), but if you like Eastwick too, please consider signing the petition to save the show. Fans of the show are also trying to get #SaveEastwick onto Twitter’s Trending Topics list.

LOST Season 6 Promo

Posted on October 29, 2009 | 1 comment

They showed this little 15-second promo for LOST tonight during FlashForward. It’s got clips from previous seasons, but nothing from Season 6 itself. Apparently, ABC isn’t going to be revealing anything from the new season until it actually starts, the better to keep us in suspense.

LOST to take a break for the Olympics?

Posted on October 25, 2009 | Leave a comment

Update February, 2010: Nope. No break for the Olympics. LOST is plowing right through.

Original post:

Mascots of the 2010 Winter Olympics

Mascots of the 2010 Winter Olympics

A Harvard blogger writes that Carlton Cuse (Harvard Class of ’81) dropped in unexpectedly. The blogger, though too excited to breathe, did ask when the show would start again:

Mr Cuse graciously explained that the show would begin again in January then stop for the Olympics and then start back again in February.

The Olympics will run from February 12 to 28, 2010.

UPDATE 10/27/09: The post on the Arts at Harvard blog has been taken down. (Hat tip to Jon Lachonis on TVOvermind for that info.)
