Just when we were finally starting to get LOST out of our system, ABC released a new promo. Enjoy:
It requires a lot of views to take everything in, so don't worry about seeing "too much" the first time around. But since it is released by ABC, I consider it to be spoiler-free.
There is another version, which includes the actors' voices. The promo is much better. Instead of having to sit through the inane Hallowe'en costume clip, just put your mouse over the center of the frame and then click on the white arrow which points to the right.
UPDATE (Edited 11/7/08): The promo below now has a different 30 second promo, followed by the inane Hallowe'en clip. The FF arrows are gone, as apparently is the "old" promo.

What do you do when someone moves the island and doesn't tell you?
Create your own island, that's what!
let's hope not!

From the last thread, Circus Mom's question was:
What song does Hurley sing to Aaron in a attempt to calm him?
: ) P
Are we OK to discuss the promo here? I am guessing so but I'll wait to verify.
I think we should, CM. It is released by ABC and I would imagine that D&C had a hand in editing it.
Is anyone AGAINST discussing the promo here?
: ) P
Not me! Not me! Not me! Not me! Go for it!
It's all good with me. I remember D and C stating that ABC runs the promos on their own. I cant remember exactly but I think ABC ran something last year that D and C disagreed with.
Discussion of Promo!!!
OK, So Jack says "If I don't go back everyone else we left behind will die too." Is he refering to anyone else besides Locke/Bentham? I feel like he is.
You're right, L4E. D&C did say that ABC puts out the promos. However, since the show is not yet airing, I think that ABC might not have access to the footage. So there is a strong chance that D&C are either editing the promos themselves or only releasing clips FOR the promos that they deem acceptable.
I need to watch a few more times before I can participate in a discussion though *G*.

The way I took that clip was that Jack was cleaning up (shaved and showered) while talking to Ben. It seemed like he was maybe answering Ben's questions...like, "What else did he tell you." I seems like that was Jack's answer to that question. Everyone on the island would die if Jack(and the rest of the O6) didn't go back.
Okay, I have been thinking about CM's question - because I really think I can pull this off. I remember that the song was VERY un-lullaby-like. Something like "Celebrate" or "I Feel Good" or "Tutti Frutti."
I am going to go with "I Feel Good" because I can sort of hear Jorge Garcia singing that in my head.
How'd I do?
: ) P
Good job PJ. It was I Feel Good.
On the island ("real" time, no flashes) during Season 4, three couples kiss. Name two.
: ) P
I had 2 out of 3 but I chcked before listing and I won't list my correct two here.
I finally got around to watching 10/21's episode of Fringe. Did anyone else catch that the lab tech who was working with Dr. Estabrook was called Elizabeth Sarnoff? (Elizabeth Sarnoff is one of the producers on LOST.)
I wonder how many other things like that have happened that I have missed!?
: ) P
SPOILER ALERT
Has anyone mentioned that the 2 hour premiere of LOST is being reported to start on 21 Jan 2009. I've read it in three places now. That's a Wednesday folks. And Only 72 days from now. I don't know if they are going to rerun last season during the holidays, or if the 1st hour (of the 2) is going to be a recap episode. Still - woohoo!
--DocH--
Oh, and if it goes into the last slot of primetime, as suspected with the current schedule, it replaces "Dirty Sexy Money", follows "Private Practice", competes with "CSI:NY" on CBS and destroys "Law & Order" on NBC.
--DocH--
More Data... LOST will fill the middle hour slot of Private Practice on Weds. Practice slips back an hour. That puts it up against "Criminal Minds" on CBS and "Life" on NBC. Not sure what Fox will have on by Jan. LOST should be just after the IDOL results show tho... hope that sucker doesn't run long... not that it matters.
--DocH--
Thanks for the info, DocH. The ABC website still says "early January 2009." However, it does say "three-hour event" and "two hour season premiere." I am guessing we'll see a recap AND two hours of new material!
I hope you're right on the January 21st, date. That means we are more than two thirds of the way through our wait. (And yes, I double checked my math!)
YAY!
: ) P
The front page at Lostpedia has an article based on a Variety.Com story, which I read too. They say 21 Jan 09.
Two hours - first hour recap, second hour new.
--DocH--
Right on PJ. From the many places I have seen, LOST will be a three-hour event on Jan. 21. 1 hour clip show, then 2 back-to-back episodes. Good work on the math also.:)
I am just really happy that LOST is back to Wednesdays. My week was all messed up waiting until Thursdays last season! LOL
: ) P
HEY GUYS!!!
So sorry! I have been soooo crazy with work. But everything has calmed down some now.
SO, anyone want to catch me up so that I dont have to read for 3 days?
Welcome back, Julie! We haven't discussed all that much, you'll get through it fairly quickly!
Circus Mom, no one else has attempted to answer the kissing question - so share your answer and then ask a question!
: ) P
Wednesday night LOST instead of Thursday night is making me pretty happy. It just fits into my schedule a little bit better..... thanks ABC!
Jack and Juliette
Sawyer and Kate
The one I missed was
Sun and Jin
What song is Juliette playing while preparing for the book club in "A Tale of Two Cities"?
She's playing "Downtown"
If I remember correctly. I dont want to look it up so tell me if I'm wrong.
Okay, maybe not the right forum but is anyone going to see Twilight next weekend?
Downtown is correct.
I think we are good at discussing most anything interesting in the off season. At least I'm good.
Circus Dork wants to go and see Twilight on opening night with her friends. I will wait untill the crowds die down if I'm not the Chaperone. I had been trying to get her to read more and forced her to read Twilight during the summer after I read it. She has since read all four book, several times each (up to 7). I had to take her to the book store and coax her to try some other books but she now reads more than watching TV.
Hurray for Harry Potter and Edmond.
I almost forgot. Circus Dork and I were watching our DVD's of "Dead Like Me" and Harold Perrineau was playing a Yogo instructor who died. Just before he turned to walk into the light he said "Namaste" twice. Weird.
Trivia:
How did Bernard meet Rose?
Yea, I bought advance tickets to Twilight here in Brentwood. Unfortunately, as I've said before, my friends and I differ A LOT so I'm going alone. Which is cool. I'd rather go along than watch it with someone who (for lack of a better term) doesnt 'get it'.
I just bought Twilight last weekend and have read so fast that I'm already on Eclipse. I found New Moon absolutely heart wrenching.So, I'm looking forward to Eclipse. :)
I'd love to know what everyone thinks of it after seeing it.
Maybe we (someone) should start a Twilight blog. I'd love to discuss the books in detail.
Speaking of Lost, IM LOVING the saturation of commercials. I have a friend that is a local DJ and attended the CMAs this week with him. A friend was texting me saying "okay its cool that your there, but your missing all the Lost commericals!!!" LOL
Rose wastuck in the snow and Bernard helped push her out. He fell in the snow in the process. They almost parted and then Rose asked Bernard if he wanted to get a cup of coffee.
What song does Sawyer sing while in the cannoe?
TOTAL GUESS:
Row row row your boat?
Nice guess, wrong song.
Got my dossier from DI. I am recommended to be a radio operator in the communications dept.
Also, it seems the financial crisis that hit America has effected the DI and they have decided to scrap the plans. :)
Wait for you email.
Here's the email:
Namaste.
I am pleased to announce that registered recruits can now log in and download your personalized Volunteer Assessment Dossier outlining your full test results as well as your position within the Dharma Initiative.
I want to personally congratulate you on behalf of everyone at the Dharma Initiative for your hard work and diligence during our testing process.
We hope that you are happy with your results. We certainly are. The tests were extremely challenging and the aptitude and excellence displayed far exceeded our expectations.
Now that you are in possession of your results I am sure you are asking the obvious question: what's next?
Our plan was that together we would commence a glorious adventure: the revival of the Dharma Initiative using the myriad talents of all our amazing new recruits. We imagined not just fulfilling long abandoned goals but taking the Dharma Initiative to a new level of greatness as an organization promoting the peaceful social and technological advancement of all humankind.
Then the financial crisis struck.
Sadly, our benefactors were not immune to this crisis. In fact, unconfirmed reports suggest that much of the money designated for the work of the new Dharma Initiative was tied up in highly leveraged mortgage derivatives. This, however, cannot be confirmed because, I am sorry to report, the principals representing the benefactors - my employers - have gone missing. Based on bills still coming into our office we believe they are somewhere in South America.
This stunning reversal of fortune has forced us to abandon our ambitious plans. In fact, absent this funding, the Dharma Initiative was forced to make the only sensible decision we had available: we sold the Dharma Initiative to the television show LOST.
While this might strike some of you as a shock, the reason for this was not simply that they were the only bidder. As the only remaining Dharma Initiative employee who had not fled the country, I felt that at the very least the show would be able to keep the spirit of the Dharma Initiative alive and in the public consciousness until such time as a reversal of the reversal of our economic fortunes occurs.
It is with a heavy heart that I must bid you farewell. Despite my fervent commitment to the mission of the Dharma Initiative, the realities of a broken marriage, heavy casino debt and some unfounded police charges have required that I change my present circumstances. It is with great excitement that I can inform you of my pending senior sales management job at a large multi-brand auto dealership in Dubai. I have enjoyed our brief association more than I can ever express, and if you are ever in the Middle East and need a car, please e-mail me for a special "Dharma rate".
In the meantime, you will hear shortly from LOST showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. They will explain to you their future plans for the Dharma Initiative and how these plans might affect you.
Thank you again, personally, for your unflagging commitment and support. I hope our paths will one day cross again. In the meantime may the spirit of the island guide you.
Namaste.
Hans Van Eeghen
Head of Recruiting
The Dharma Initiative
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They have decided that I should work for the DI in Public Relations. HAHAHAHAHA!
I know its a total coincidence but THAT is freaking HILLARIOUS!!!
Hammer--you and I can work next to eachother. I'm also a communications specialist.....
Everyone better dot their I's and cross their t's because Dharma made me a proofreader. Should I tell them I can't spell?
I wonder if anyone got "Workman"
I am out of town and cannot check my email - boo hoo. I will let you know next week what assignments I have been given!
: ) P
New Lost Season 5 Poster: http://tinyurl.com/5zhkye
Pretty cool.
Cool poster... is it "real" or fan created, I wonder?
So Daniel (on the zodiac) made it back to the island, but Jin is not on the poster. boo hoo.
: ) P
I finally got to look at my DI results:
Well for my "original" log in - where I used cheats on two of the tests (AFTER I had done them without!) I was assigned as Research Assistant for the Human Interaction Analysis Program.
For the second log in - where I did all the tests without cheating, I was made a COOK! I got zeros on most of the tests for some reason. Maybe they knew it was a bogus log in.
: ) P
Interesting thoughts, DocH. I will think on that.
Apparently, in the new LOST promo, there are a couple of "flashes" with some kind of "hint" in them. I haven't seen them, but according to TVGuide, there is something about Ajira Airways. I found this:
http://www.ajiraairways.com/
which shows that their flights start on 01/21/2009. Interesting...
: ) P
So.. my friend Paul and I braved the teenage hordes to see Twilight on Friday.
1 1/2 hours in line WITH pre-purchased tickets.. we find ourselves in the SECOND row just in enough time to see a NEW Lost promo!!!
All the teenie boppers were screaming "team Jacob" "Team Edward" so I couldnt hear a dang thing that was being said. However! It did have a LOT of naked Sawyer. Dirty, Sweaty, Naked Sawyer. SO.. whatever that is, I'm all about it. :)
I'm going to see it again this weekend so HOPEFULLY I'll be able to tell y'all what was said.
Hey y'all. Check your e-mail. D&C have sent us a special Dharma e-mail....nothing too exciting--but it's something!
Oh Mylanta, Miss Kim. Thank you SO much for the heads up about the email! It went to my spam folder and I would have missed it.
I thought the three videos were great. Particularly the last one.
Eight weeks from tomorrow!
: ) P
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
What were our friends on the island doing on Thanksgiving?
Not quite a trivia question. I don't know the answer myself but it might be fun to try and figure it out.
Holiday Humor:
Bad Robots - D & C are giving-up on the Recruiting Initiative now too. They're handing it over to the ABC sit-com folks. They are going to call it the "Dharma and Greg" Initiative... but only want no-nonsense lawyers and spacey earth-bunnies to apply for the open positions - "Not In San Francisco."
So..... do we think that they just gave up on the ARG? I mean, I guess its obvious... but still. It had -some- potential, right?
To bad...
Happy belated Thanksgiving y'all. Circus Mom: I think that the losties are hanging up Christmas lights and eating leftovers. I'm not sure that the "fat lady has sung" on the Dharma thing. Dossiers were originally supposed to be released 12/15. Perhaps the early release and this financial crisis nonsence is part of a bigger plan. (Golly, I am such a "glass is half full kind of a girl!!!!!)
Miss Kim said: Perhaps the early release and this financial crisis nonsence is part of a bigger plan.
I agree. D&C don't do anything "by chance" and the ARG, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't cost enough to warrant the "financial crisis" to make a difference. I expect that the economy tanking may have just been a great realistic excuse for DI to "sell out" to ABC.
To answer the "not really" a trivia question, as I recall the LOSTies didn't acknowledge Thanksgiving, but I think in the Nikki & Paulo flashback, Nikki mentioned that no one was doing anything about it.
Back to the "real" trivia question, which got lost... Circus Mom asked:
What song does Sawyer sing while in the cannoe?
Love the Dharma and Greg reference, DocH!
: ) P
Did anyone notice, on this week's Fringe, that the airline ticket for the guy that fell out of the window was for Oceanic?
: ) P
I noticed - it was printed on two spots on his boarding pass. Oceanic Air. JFK to Omaha. 7:50 PM seat 8B gate 40. JJA you magnificent bastardo - ala Patton.
Okay, CM, I think it's time to give us the answer and ask a new question, please!
The LOST promos are getting more frequent (or maybe I am just watching more ABC shows), but haven't, in my opinion, revealed anything new. Just *50* more days until Season Five!
: ) P
Has anyone watched the "new content" that D&C gave the DI recruits today? One of the videos was NOT new content, but the other two were GREAT. The third was a "sneak peak" at Season 5, which I considered NOT watching. It wasn't spoilerish really, just hinting at what's to come (and certainly NOT anything I wasn't already suspecting would HAVE to happen).
: ) P
Saywer sand "Show Me The Way To Go Home" a la Jaws 1.
What movie did Hurley watch on the VCR in New Otherton?
I watched the sneak peek for season 5. It answered a minor question but was not unexpected or themeatic. It felt good to see something new.
Going to go and finish Fringe now.
Ooh good question, CM! I am going to have to think on that one!
: ) P
ARGHH! I KNOW that I know this... because I remember laughing when I heard it (I don't remember seeing footage). I am going to mull this over, because I KNOW I know this!
: ) P
I remembered! It was Xanadu! Hurley asked Sawyer if he wanted to watch Xanadu or some other (horror?) flick. Sawyer grumbled at him and then we heard ONJ singing!
Here's another "movie" question: When Jack was imprisoned, Juliet played a video (where she had flashcards) for Jack. Which movie did she claim she was showing him?
: ) P
We've discussed Emilie de Ravin and her character's fate before. Watch this interview (from 9/22/08) if you want more info. I don't consider it particularly spoilerish, but if you are intent on knowing NOTHING about the upcoming season, don't watch:
http://tinyurl.com/clairesfuture
I will NOT go to that site.
The Hawaii Blog is bad.
I will NOT go to that site.
I will stay spoiler-free.
But, DocH... when CAN I go to that site? Will you let me know when it is no longer spoilerish?
: ) P
Oh crud.
I just found my fantasy LOST league picks which include Claire. (Negative 5 points for each episode in which the character does not appear.) *sigh*
I know *I* ain't winning nothin' this year! LOL.
: ) P
Hey PJ, funny tidbit....the tiger logo on the Ajira Airlines website looks almost identical to the logo we use for the girls fastpitch team I coach. The tiger is grasping a softball instead of the sun. :)
Oh...Juliet said the video was "To Kill a Mockingbird".
You're right, Hammer! Your turn.
Cool logo - for your team AND Ajira!
: ) P
Okay, I am going to simply this one a little but keeping with the theme...
When Juliet used the flash cards to ask Jack to kill Ben, the idea was "borrowed" from a music video from what "mumbling" artist?
Correct sir. I was gonna make it a little tougher and ask for the name of the song, but....
37 days!
Okay, DocH, you're up!
: ) P
So I rented the Season 4 DVD's just to see the bonus features. Got through disks one and two so far. Not much in the way of bonus features, except commentary on several episodes.
In one, Evangeline Lily and Jorge Garcia were basically talking (not really commenting on what was happening on screen) and talked about scenes they'd filmed, etc. I got so excited because they mentioned Lance Reddick and doing jungle scenes! They are returning to the island! Abaddon is back! Or so I thought. Turns out that they were doing the commentary for the episodes WHILE they were still filming season 4!
D'oh!
: ) P
One of the local Detroit stations is running re-runs. I caught a scene this weekend that got me thinking about Walt. Back when Michael was having a hissy fit about Locke and Walt haggin' out, Locke told Michael that Walt is special and needs to use his "full potential". Are we gonna find out what his "full potential" is?
Been awhile all.
Hi! My name is lost4ever and I am STILL a lostaholic.
I don't have as much time anymore as I am constantly traveling. I can't go to that spoiler page DocH but keep up the research. I hope Abaddon is back for season 5 PJ. Hammer, maybe "Because you Left" is about WAAAAAAAALT. He never had the chance to reach his full potential. In the past 6 months or so, I think we discussed it, but did we decide if Walt has to go back to the island as part of Ben's "ALL of to go back"?
Also, unforetunately I saw the titles of the first 7 episodes.
I think the other image on the cover of the comic was a city floating above an island or something like that?
I am off to LOSTPedia to check - not that I don't have other things that I SHOULD be doing! LOL.
: ) P
Nope that wasn't quite right!
: ) P
It was the "force field" or "barrier" around an island in the ocean. That's what started the snow globe talk....I think.
Okay then Alex, let's finish the category. The comic was in Spanish, but what characters was comic about?
What is the Green Lantern and... Flash?
Hope I got this right, Alex!
LOL
: ) P
Correct young lady. I figured "Flash" was a relevant term. :)
Okay, well the city over the island that I THOUGHT was on the comic book was on the one we saw Captain Eyeliner offer 5-year-old John. Name any three of the other things he offered.
: ) P
I think we already did this question PJ.
I saw something that makes me think the password for the Dharma special access are easter eggs. The first password was lafleur...let's just say you will see that word again.
Yeah, Hammer, you're right. It has been a LO-O-ONG hiatus... plus I was trying to keep with the comic theme.
I had considered that those passwords meant something. Hadn't got any further than that.
Okay, so here is a new question:
Where (geographically speaking) was Frank when the faux plane was discovered?
: ) P
Don't really remeber where. I remember it was tropical because he was doing tourist work.
