'Lost' Title Song

Saturday July 11, 2009
Lost doesn't have a title song, just a noise and Twilight Zoney Lost floating across the screen. Well what if Lost did have a title song? (Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name...and the polar bears are sane. You want to be where you can see, the Others are all the same. You want to go where everybody knows your name.)

At this year's Comic-Con, co-executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse want to hear your ideal version of what you think a Lost title song would be if the show had one.

If you're going to Comic-Con (if you don't have tickets already, it's too late) check out the Lost Title Song Official Rules and enter.

If you're not going to Comic-Con, you can still give the world your song by typing it in to the comments below.

Jack and Walt Rumors

Thursday July 9, 2009
There seem to be some rumors that Matthew Fox (Jack) and Malcolm David Kelley (Walt Lloyd) have shot some scenes together to be used in the final season.

Wouldn't that be awesome if they would have taped some footage during seasons 1 or 2 that we wouldn't see until now?

Representatives from the show say that no season 6 footage has been taped yet, and there were no such scenes between Jack and Walt taped for the final season. Bummer! I wouldn't put it past co-executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse to have thought of shooting something in the past for the future because they knew Malcolm David Kelley would grow quite a bit over the shows run, and it's possible that the reps are not being entirely honest, but we probably won't see any new scenes between Jack and the young Walt.

Brian K. Vaughan Leaves 'Lost'

Tuesday July 7, 2009
The show must go on, even without talented Lost writer Brian K. Vaughan who joined the writers about halfway through season 3 and was responsible, or had a hand in, many a great season 4 and 5 cliffhanger. He is leaving for "greener pastures" and there are still plenty of Lost writers to finish out the final season (which begins early next year).

A few more season 6 spoilers have made their way in to keep us thinking about Lost.

What Do You Watch?

Sunday July 5, 2009
In my opinion, Lost is the best show EVER, but I do enjoy quite a lot of other dramas, sci-fi, and reality TV. I've never been big on movies, though, aside from Harry Potter.

About.com now has a new newsletter called Screening Room that covers all things TV and movie. I've subscribed and I love having the inside track on this stuff. You can subscribe at http://talk.about.com.

Aside from Lost, what shows and movies do you watch and want more information on?

Before They Were 'Lost'

Friday July 3, 2009
I recently watched Saving Private Ryan (who has time for movies when there is so much great TV?) and was excited to see Jeremy Davies in a role other than Daniel Faraday. And I loved Elizabeth Mitchell in ER, even though I didn't know her as Juliet Burke at the time.

Over at The Monitor, they've posted a photo gallery of the Lost stars now and in previous roles: Before They Were "Lost": Photo Gallery. It's kind of fun to see these actors playing different characters.

'Lost' Season 5 DVD and Blu-ray - Woo Hoo!

Thursday July 2, 2009
Officially, it's called "The Lost Complete 5th Season Dharma Initiation Kit".

The kit includes disc holders that look like floppy disks, pamphlets, stickers, maps, a VHS of the Orientation Video, and recruitment materials for the Dharma Initiative.

You can pre-order your Lost Season 5 DVD or Blu-ray set and have it shipped out on December 8th.

This looks to be the best set they've released (though I'm sure they're going to outdo themselves next year with the release of the final season). Because it is so elaborate, the 5th season DVD and Blu-ray set is also a bit (actually quite a bit) more expensive than usual. The list price for the DVDs is $119.99 and Blu-ray is $134.00, but I've found it a bit cheaper. Click the button below to get a better price.

An Extra Hour of 'Lost'

Tuesday June 30, 2009
We were promised 17 more hours of Lost but we're actually going to get 18 (barring any writers strikes or anything crazy).

I'm not sure where the extra hour will come in, but I suspect we'll get a 2-hour premiere and a 2-hour finale. And you know those writers can pack a lot into that extra hour.

Lost season 6 premieres next year, probably at the end of January. As the last season of the series, it will be a bittersweet 5 months. Sigh.

'Lost' Bobble Heads

You can get your Jack, Kate, Juliet, and Sawyer bobble heads with story specific accessories this November (preorder). And, if you're going to Comic-Con San Diego 2009 you can see the unveiling of the first Bif Bang Pow! collectable, Ben Linus, at the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343).

I think they did a great job on the Ben figure (I haven't seen any of the others yet), but I don't know that I could have this little figure staring at me all the time. Although, perhaps I could punch in the face from time to time for a little stress relief.

Will We See Jacob Again?

Jacob apparently died in the season 5 finale of Lost, but as we know from watching Lost even if he is dead, that doesn't mean we won't see him again.

The actor who plays Jacob, Mark Pellegrino, is set to work on the CW's Supernatural playing Lucifer, but he should still have time to appear on Lost should the need arise.

What do you think? Is Jacob really dead?

Want 'Lost' to Come to Disney World?

Friday June 26, 2009
Wouldn't it be great if there was a Lost attraction at Disney World? Imagine my excitement when I read that my two favorite sources of entertainment were colliding! The Disney's Folly blog reported "Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has announced extensive plans to convert the old Discovery Island in Bay Lake to a new Lost-themed attraction." Opening in 2011, the immerse experience will bring guests to the islands where they can see the Swan Station, where the experience then becomes a ride.

Alas, I wasn't very far into the article before I realized that this would never happen (though I do have to admit that I called my ABC contact just to be sure as my hope got the better of me). And sure enough, the author of the blog post has now come forward and confessed that there is no Lost attraction in the works. Bummer!

As much I would love a Lost attraction now, does it really have staying power? In 20 years when I take my grandchildren to Disney World would I enjoy a Lost attraction? Uh, probably, yes, but would my children and grandchildren? Chances are they will not be familiar with the story of Lost.

What do you think? Should Disney build a ride or experience around the hit TV show or should they focus their energies elsewhere?
