Just over one week!!!! Wow is January flying!

I'm setting the bar high for myself, and will attempt to post every day between now and the premiere. I would love to get a great dialogue going. So my plan is to leave you with some big
questions, and I want to hear all of your thoughts.

I have a bunch of different ideas, but I'll spare you and start small.

Your favorite Lostie is......

For me it is always about Locke.

From the beginning, he was calm in the midst of the storm. He seemed "strange". The knife, the boar hunting, the backgammon playing with Walt. He mystical and mysterious.

And then there was "Walkabout". Premiering on October 13, 2004. It was in this episode that we learned where Locke's optimism seems to stem from. He had his humdrum life at the box company and dreamed of going on a "walkabout" in the Australian outback. He spends his nights "just talking" with a woman on a 1-900 phone line that he insists on calling "Helen". :)
On the island, he comes face to....face? with the Smoke Monster. Which he will later tell all, "I have looked into the face of this island and it is beautiful." I was completely shocked, and the big softy in me crumpled, when the episode ended with Locke being denied his walkabout chance because......dunt dunt dunt.....he was in a wheel chair. Then we see the mangled wheel chair burning along with the fuselage and we see Locke's reaction differently. He can suddenly walk!

Through these last five seasons we have seen Locke struggle with himself. Is he the ultimate Man of the Faith? Was the hatch important?

Locke is Lost to me.

(Of course, I also do love me some Hurley.............................. )

Who makes Lost for you?

Come on now- hit comment. You can do it. You can be anonymous:)

Groundhog's Day, again....

So, I've recently been accused (ahem) by a good friend that I spoil too much for myself online. Ok, there is probably some truth to that. I like to be "in the know". It's the heart of who I am. In another life, I would have been a journalist and why I think I earn my "Veronica" nickname at school.

What I need to know from you all, is how much you want me to tell you? I "know" things and I think many of you read enough on your own to "know" things as well.

I mentioned in my last post about the Groundhog's Day evening premiere being in jeopardy because of the State of the Union (I mean we all know the "state", it isn't so good) All parties, including the White House, came to their senses. No State of the Union on February 2nd.

Some of you have inquired about the choice of Groundhog's Day. I don't think it's a very big secret that the series is set to "reboot" with this premiere. Does Juliet's brave detonation of "the bomb" affect the space time continuum? or will what we see be more of "what if"?

Lots of good info and interviews are popping up. Keep checking in to "frienemies"
Watch with Kristin (my personal favorite) at Eonline and Michael Ausiello at EW. Even better
at EW is the complicated Doc Jensen. I love to read his stuff, but sometimes my head hurts before I even finish the first page (and there is usually like 5 detailed pages of theories and connections.)

So grab a drink, sit down and read some of this info- 17 days friends!!!!

Thanks Barack Obama!

So apparently, the White House is mulling over two dates for the lovely State of the Union address. Either Tuesday January 29th or......wait for it.........Tuesday February 2nd. Yes
that Tuesday February 2nd when our beloved LOST is set to premiere. Of course stupid (sorry Natalie and Stacey) American Idol starts the 26th.

A little clip from one of my favorite sources:

"According to an ABC insider, there is talk of moving the premiere to the following Tuesday (Feb. 9) if Obama sticks with Feb. 2. However, it is not an easy decision. "Steve McPherson loved the idea of launching the series on Groundhog Day [which is Feb. 2 this year]," the insider tells me. "And obviously the amount of marketing capital spent on the Feb. 2 launch is considerable."

Really ABC insider- Groundhog's Day is always February 2nd and Christmas is always December 25th, and Halloween is always October 31st.

My opinion, if it counts for anything, leave the premiere in the 26th because Fox won't show the State of the Union anyway, and it won't ruin everything! Ugh!





Do you love the new promo shot of the cast as the Last Supper? What do you think of good old Locke in the Jesus chair?

12 Days of Lost-mas

Soon, so soon. 33 days or so............

I've been remiss in clueing you all into some great info/spoilers.

My favorite E! online blogger, Watch with Kristin, is posting the "12 Days of Lost-mas".

There up to the eigth day- so make sure to scroll down to read the first seven, and check back in
to see the next four.

Have you see this poster?

It's apparently part of series that was produced- and there were clues to find them and then they would all be revealed a this gallery in NYC, with two addtional posters with big clues to the last season. I think it's pretty cool; a nod to Alfred Hitchcok and of course featuring my beloved Locke.

What will we do without Lost?

Great promo, not in English but cool none the less

Apparently "Darlton" are refusing to let any clips of the final season be released. Instead, a
Spanish station created a very poetic and allegorical promo

Houston, We have a problem!

The Deeper Meaning

I haven't seen much Lost scoop lately, but stumbled upon a tidbit of info that I thought you all (Monica, Amy, maybe Maureen, or Josie) would like to hear.

I love to hear interesting, clever episode titles filled with hidden meanings.
(I feel the same way about chapter titles in books and I hate when a book doesn't have chapter titles at all.)

As of right now, there is speculation that the first four episodes will be:

6.01/6.02: “LA X”

6.03: “What Kate Does”

And now, the title of 6.04 (rumored to be Locke-centric) is…

“The Substitute”

Now right away I remembered that Season 2 gave us the episode- "What Kate Did" so now we have a little play on that.

As I mentioned in a previous post- what will this reboot from the detonation of the H-bomb do? Will Kate have done something different?

Will these episodes parrallel episodes from the first season? First episode will be Jack focused, then Kate, then Locke, etc.?

Countdown is on.......2010 will be here before we know it.
