Another key returnee

Greg Gunberg has been approached to return to the final season of Lost. This will make him very busy as his regular gig has been as "Matt Parkman" on Heroes continues.

So with the return of the pilot of the fateful Oceanic Flight 815, does this give credence to the idea of the reboot? Or more backstory to the flight?

Thoughts???

Summer rumors

You thought I all forgot you, didn't you? The Lost finale was so head splitting that I did kind of push it out of my mind. This doesn't mean that I don't look at Lost news/spoilers that come my way.

Earlier in the summer, there were some interesting ideas swirling around Dominic Monaghan- the beloved Charlie. ABC was running some very clever promos for their fall season where they were combining different characters from different shows together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHo1zTJ1Ctg

This started big internet buzz that Charlie would be returning from the dead! ABC was quick to say that he was due to be part of the new series Flash Forward- but there is speculation that he will be doing both. This leads us to a discussion of what this new season- this reboot if you will- in January 2010 will bring.

Will the show "start over"? There is a lot of rumbling that Juliet's detination of the bomb will cause the show to begin all over if you will. Meaning- that people who were dead, will now be alive. Flight 815 would never have crashed. The lives of our "Losties" would never have been interowoven and interupted. Now "Darlton" (the beloved Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse) have long held that once you "die" on the island, you are "dead". There has been a lot of buzz about other returning characters. We have known that Claire would not be on this past season, but that she would be back for the last season. What does this mean? Apparently Maggie Grace, "Shannon" has also been in talks.

I surprised myself that I became such a "Suliet" fan, so like others I was disappointed by the apparent loss of Elizabeth Mitchell in the season finale. She is also about to become a star of the ABC redo of the 80s show, "V". I bet many of you don't remember "V", but I do. It was initially a miniseries on NBC in 1983. This would have made me 7 years old and I vividly remember "V" scaring the bejeezus out of me! ("V" and the book "Communion" would start a period my life in the early 80s where I was terrified of being kidnapped by aliens.) With that being said, I have gone on to like other alien-ish things, and I might give this "V" a chance especially since it was written by the same person as "The 4400" which is a show I really enjoyed.

Here's a link to an interview with Michael Ausiello and the cast of "V'. Elizabeth Mitchell also mentions some interesting tidbits about Lost-http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/07/27/elizabeth-mitchell-fans-brought-juliet-back-to-lost/
