Man, Thursday night was pretty slow last week. This Thursday looks like it'll be the same. We have to wait until the last Thursday in April to get back to the story. This, of course, was inflicted on all of us by the non-agreement between the parties in Hollywoodland, leading to the much bandied-about "writers' strike."
Even though the LOST writers are back to work and production has been resumed, they had only eight in the can prior to the strike. We've seen those eight and now must WAIT! ABC is showing the season again, so catch up if you need to. I've even broken out the other box sets and have been suring up my lost LOST bits.
Yet, one of the best things I have found to do is surfing the internet checking out all the LOTS of LOST stuff out there, and "holy motherlode, Batman," there's a LOT. If you want, there's plenty of great stuff on the official ABC LOST site here:
http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=index
This site is chock full of LOST fans wants and needs. Doesn't everyone need to know what Sawyer would call you if you were so lucky to have been stranded with the bunch? Well, I did. So, I simply went and clicked on "Sawyer's Nickname Generator" and found out that he'd call me "Wilbur" if I were on the island -- not sure why.
The LOST connections link is inspired and will help you put some pieces together; and speaking of pieces, DO NOT miss the internet only "Missing Pieces" on this site. All in all ABC has done a great job for the fans here.
If you want more fan-based theoretical mumbo-jumbo, use Google, Yahoo, or whatever your favorite search engine may be and start tracking down LOST fan sites. Pretty much any reference seems to pull up some LOST stuff. Type in "LOST" or "John Locke" or "Mathew Fox" or even just "Sawyer," which will give more hits about him and the show than it will about Tom Sawyer.
My favorite searching, though, has come from the amazing YouTube. Do some searches there. You can find some of the tidbits that came with the season box sets that were not available on network TV, but you can also find sooooo many fan videos, most of which were pretty decent. For example, I like one that had put the Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan real-life romance in pictures, to a nice rendition of Wonderwall. Unfortunately, they broke up . . . but the video survives!
And do not miss Dominic Monaghan, Mathew Fox, or Evangeline Lilly on Ellen, and check out their appearances on Jimmy Kimmel, Letterman, and others. Some of these are hilarious and give you a better understanding of their real-world personalities.
You can also catch all of the cast auditions for the show. My fave was Hurley trying out for Sawyer's role! Just start searching around.
So, do not be down while our wait is being imposed, get on the net and find some treasures. They're waiting for you. Do it!
See you all soon,
Kenn (Wilbur)
