Yes we can watch the LOST premiere on February 2

Posted on January 8, 2010 | Leave a comment

Yes We Can. A White House spokesman said that they won’t schedule President Obama’s State of the Union speech on the same night as the LOST premiere.

Darlton’s reactions to the news:

Carlton Cuse tweeted:

No State of the Union conflict with LOST! We go Feb. 2!

and

In exchange for moving his speech, Damon and I promise to answer ANY questions the President has about LOST.

Damon Lindelof used all the exclamation points he was saving for a special occasion:

OBAMA BACKED DOWN!!!! Groundhog Day is OURS!!!!!!! (God Bless America)

and:

Okay. So Obama didn’t technically “back down.” He leveraged Carlton and I to do something on the show. Two words. MORE FROGURT

Ha.

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 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

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.

Promos, leaked sneak peek, and schedule for the LOST Season 5 Finale

Posted on May 8, 2009 | Leave a comment

Can you believe that Season 5 is almost over? I don’t want it to end!

The Finale should be great, though.

Wednesday evening will start off with yet another clip/recap show, this one called Lost: A Journey in Time. From the press release, it sounds as if it will pick up where the last one left off, after the Losties returned to the Island.

Right after the clip show, the 2-hour Season 5 Finale, The Incident parts 1 & 2, will begin.

The Incident was written by our old friends Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. The director is Jack Bender, who has directed many of the best LOST episodes, including, among many others, all of the previous Season Finales, The Constant, The Man from Tallahassee (probably my all-time favorite episode), and most recently, Some Like it Hoth.

Here’s the trailer for the finale:

And here are some promo pictures (Contains spoilers, including one character I wasn’t expecting to see!):

Here’s a sneak peek that was leaked from the set. It looks like it might be rehearsal footage or an early take (?) shot by a bystander (?) on the set (Contains spoilers!)

Schedule

Please don’t post any spoiler info in the comments (including anything spoiler-ish from the promo pictures and videos above) until after the Finale airs in the U.S.

5×15 ‘Follow the Leader’ on tonight, May 6, 2009

Posted on May 6, 2009 | Leave a comment

In this week’s official audio podcast, Carlton and Damon tease us about who the “Leader” in the episode title might be.

Does the title refer to Jack? they ask. Or could it be Sawyer? Or perhaps John Locke? Carlton and Damon remind us that the last time we saw John Locke, the Smoke Monster, in the form of Ben’s dead daughter, told Ben that he had to listen to everything that John Locke said.

It’s hard to imagine Ben is very happy about that.

I’m going to be out this evening, and I’m not sure if I will be home in time to watch the episode live. If not, I will watch it on tape, and post about it as soon as I can.

Enjoy!

Amazing sneak peeks of 5×14 The Variable, which will air tonight April 29, 2009

Posted on April 29, 2009 | 2 comments

Jeremy Davies as Daniel Faraday

The Variable, LOST’s 100th episode, is going to focus on Daniel Faraday, showing his flashbacks for the first time.

In the April 23, 2009 official audio podcast, Damon and Carlton confirm (as I had guessed in an earlier post) that the title “The Variable” is a reference to “The Constant” from last season, and there is indeed a connection between the two episodes — in an interview, Damon calls the new episode a “companion piece” to the previous one.

We will also see Desmond tonight, and find out if he survived being shot by Ben.

In the podcast, Damon and Carlton say they think The Variable came out as one of the best episodes of the season, and they’re excited to see what we think of it.

Here are three great clips from the episode, courtesy of DarkUFO. Don’t watch if you want to remain completely unspoiled! Otherwise … enjoy!
