Order has been restored to the world today, as LOST finally receives a nomination for Best Series (after being shut out since the first season).
Emmy nominations were also extended to
Best Supporting Actor for Michael Emerson
Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Drama Series (for the Incident)
Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (One Hour) (for the Incident)
Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for Damon and Carlton (for the Incident)
(Do you get the feeling they only submitted the Incident for consideration?)
Where's the Emmy love for Elizabeth Mitchell? For Josh Holloway (who did his best work ever this year)? For Jorge Garcia (who finally got to show some real range)?
Who else was robbed?

To revisit the latest trivia question (by LINS):
the 5th season finale was the first LOST season finale to not include which character? I hope that's not too vague, but I'll give hints if needed!
I answered Claire.
CM said that Claire was mentioned, but that Charlie was actually missing.
We're waiting on LINS for confirmation.
: ) P
Oops, I posted on the last thread...Claire will work, but I was thinking Walt! I'll let you have it though PJ, it wasn't a great question :) but you had a good answer!
In "The Shape of Things to Come" 14-J was the code used by the automated telephone call when the sonar fence was disengaged.
When (or for what) was the same code used in season five?
: ) P
Anyone interested in doing a little friendly competition via LOST bracket for the final season? Dark UFO does a bracket contest similar to the March Madness basketball bracket where you pick characters from the show. We could create a group and then everyone could go in and create their own brackets...?
Also, did anyone else notice that LOST's nomination for best writing is the only show nominated other than Mad Men? I'm thinking LOST's chances of winning that one are probably pretty slim, but I'll still have hope :)
I am up for it LINS, but you're going to have to give me a little more detail since I have no idea about sports/brackets etc.
I think I remember seeing it on DarkUFO... it is sort of like the Fantasy thing, but for more random things, right?
: ) P
http://darkufo.blogspot.com/2009/07/sign-up-for-character-cup-bracket.html
http://www.dawgsled.com/darkufo/rules.asp
Here's a couple links with more info...
As far as the nominations go, I think they can only submit 1 actual episode for consideration. That always did seem strange to me.
I thought it was one episode for each category. I found it odd that "The Incident" was the episode for EVERY category! I wonder which episode they submitted for Michael Emerson, and the other actors (who were snubbed).
LINS, the bracket thing looks very interesting, but complicated to put together. Do you think we could all just participate in the DarkUFO, and then maybe DocH could kindly cull our results from that?
Thoughts?
Hammer, CM, Miss Kim, L4E... are you out there? Or did the smoke monster get you? LOL
: ) P
The bracket thing is too much for me. I signed up for the DArk UFO fantasy league this time around.
I've been lurking. Too darned busy to post meaningful.
On top of softball and baseball, Jr. entered a 9 tournment golf tour for kids. Took 1st in one, 3rd in another and 4th twice. Qualified for the tournament of champs in August.
Taking off for Frankenmuth, MI in a couple days for my daughters last softball tourney of the year.
I'll keep checking in.
No on the bracket idea works for me...probably a good idea anyway since I may have to go back to work by the time the show starts back up again and I'm sure I'll be too busy to keep up.
Have fun in Frankenmuth, Hammer! We used to go there every year when I was little, good memories!
Hi, I've got a lot going on right now and am just here to make sure I get the email follow-ups.

I just sent a message on Facebook about Nashville, as I think it is better to discuss that in a closed forum. If you are not on the Facebook version of TLI, please join, or let me know by email, and I will send you the info that way. (Hammer, I emailed you.)

DocH said...
Since when did the concept turn into a viewing party?
That might be partly my fault. At some point, I asked if we were all going to watch together. I guess I expected that someone -- anyone? -- would say, "What?"
I'm an empty-nester, so I tend to forget things like final exams.
8) Jim
Since when did the concept turn into a viewing party?
Must be some crossed wires, because that's what I *always* thought we were talking about! LOL
So I guess that means you're not up for it DocH?
: ) P
Okay, it was making me crazy, so I went back to look... the first time I mentioned it (April 23), I said: Maybe we can combine a trip to see Circus Mom's circus with an "end of LOST" party in May 2010?
Miss Kim said: Ooooh!! Goodie!! A field trip!! Count me in.
Rita said: Hey, I want to go see Circus Mom! Count me in. Where are we going? I LOVE the idea of a post LOST party next May. I hope you guys are serious!
Then the next day I said:
Okay, so considering this LOST series finale gathering, it is not going to be easy to put together...
LINS is in TX
Jim is in GA
PJ is in SC
CM is in CA
Tasha is in TX
L4E is in Ohio
Hammer is in MI
Miss Kim is in NY
[Rita is in MI]
If you are not listed here, I don't know where you are! Even still, we pretty much have the four corners of the US covered. Anyone live in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico or Guam? LOL
Then I said: Tennessee seems to be a good mid-way point for everyone except CM. Maybe she can arrange for the circus to be there at the end of May 2010?
To which Jim replied: Have the party in Tennessee? Heck, that's driving distance!
Is watching the last episode a group activity? *huge grin*
And then LINS added: Haha, a LOST party in TN sounds great to me!
And finally, DocH said: Make it Nashville, and Julie and her son won't have to go anywhere.
There's more, but that's the gist of it. So yeah, there were some crossed wires, I'd say, Doc!

New Subject.
Does anyone wish to enroll in Lost University? Enrolling may require a Bluray player!?
http://www.lostuniversity.org/index.php
You can sign up for email notices. Why not, my inbox doesn't get enough activity anyway. (Huh?)
8) Jim
Thanks for the heads-up, Jim. That looks awesome. I do not have, nor do I plan to get, Blu-Ray, so I hope that we don't REALLY need it.
: ) P
I re-read the page. The original comment was from the twitter page. I think the Blu-ray comment was directed at the fact that Season 5 will be available in September.
I do have one Blu-ray player because my combo DVD/VHS player was dying and Ye Olde Wal-Mart had them on sale for an obscenely low price. I have yet to buy or rent a Blu-ray disk.

Here is an article...
Thanks for the link, PJ. If you follow PJ's link above, scroll down and click on the link about Elizabeth (Juliet) Mitchell's comments you'll encounter the following:
"She volunteered to go down the magnetic hole to blow up the island."
Didja ever wonder if the people who write about TV shows have actually watched them? I don't quite remember it happening that way...
LOL
8) Jim
Didja ever wonder if the people who write about TV shows have actually watched them? I don't quite remember it happening that way...
Oh I know! How crazy is that?!
Juliet VOLUNTEERED to get chains wrapped around her, then screamed and held on to Sawyer (creating their most powerful scene together) and then VOLUNTEERED to go down into the hole!?
Yeah, Jim. I think that is *exactly* how it happened on MY television! (NOT)

I was going on the Nashville date based on the original desire to catch up with Circus Mom.
Her late June reply said she was part of the Moose Lodge gathering (not circus) and that she was headed to Tenn in early July (1.5 months after the finale).
Someone has posted video of the Comic Con LOST panel. First two (of four) parts are up. Here is the link to the first one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruNjVeEBA_I&feature=channel
: ) P
I was going on the Nashville date based on the original desire to catch up with Circus Mom.
Thanks for explaining DocH, I get it now. I read her post differently - that she was getting more than one call to go to Nashville.
At any rate, my personal opinion is that without the series finale as a goal, none of us would make all that great an effort to drive hundreds of miles. I think we should aim for May, but I am more than willing to open it up to opinions.
On Facebook, I have a yes from Miss Kim and LINS, as well as Julie, for a finale viewing party. Haven't yet heard from anyone else.
: ) P
Thank you for the narrative clip, Jim. For the parts of the panel that I saw (still waiting for the remaining two parts to load), it seemed fairly accurate... EXCEPT, that it listed (among the fallen LOSTies) Elizabeth "Libby" Smith. SMITH? SMITH! Does she now HAVE a last name, or did he just MAKE THAT UP!?
: ) P
All four parts are posted now. The person who posted it only uploaded the panel discussion and none of the video that D&C produced for the audience. I found one of the things here:

School doesn't get out here until June 4th for my three youngest. Mid-May equals testing-testing-testing (and LOST finale).
The videos:
WARNING! Thar be Comic Con spoilers here!
I've watched all four of the videos and the extras for which PJ posted links (thank you). I think this year's production was much more -- uh -- managed than the others. Starting with the guy with his painting of D & C with a bear, I'm surprised they let that guy get in the question line, unless he was a plant; there really is a web site.
damoncarltonandapolarbear.com
The exchange between Jorge Gargia and Michael Emerson was well performed, but I really think there were people in the room who thought the two actors were having an argument; of course, the shouter(s) could have been shill(s).
I liked the great ceremony over the "last two pages of the final episode script." I guess there was a presumption that they who like "Lost" also like "Heroes."
The two "commercials" were good.
I suppose the two utterances of the f-word were to prove that they can do it or to please the little boys in the audience who are old enough to shave.
The LP has already added surnames to Libby and Karl.

I'll leave it at that. *grin*
8) Jim
Thanks for the link, Jim. That article didn't spoil anything, IMO. Any fan would have jumped to the same conclusion based on the "commercials" which leads me to believe that D&C have led us down that path only to throw us off it!
: ) P
With all the Comic Con posts, I completely forgot about trivia!
Here is my question from a couple of weeks ago... anyone want to take a guess?
In "The Shape of Things to Come" 14-J was the code used by the automated telephone call when the sonar fence was disengaged.
When (or for what) was the same code used in season five?
: ) P
Hi everyone! Just checking in. I have been so crazy busy lately that I barely have time to even lurk here, but I try to check in every now and then. :) I hope to have time soon to check out the cool links some of you have posted - thanks!
PJ I haven't responded about Nashville yet because I'm still not sure I will be able to. Chalk me up for WANTING to and a definite maybe! I'll let you know as soon as I know.
I have been wracking by poor tired brain for the answer to your question PJ - I don't know! Can you give a hint?
Was it used when SAwyer and Kate brought young injured Ben to Richard Alpert?
Okay, the hint is that Miss Kim is in the right TIME period, but not correct!
: ) P
Great news! There is a new LOST podcast "summer edition" which is interesting, even if not particularly revealing:
http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=podcast#t=3421
Also, if you haven't already seen them, there are some "Ask LOST" videos with some of the lead actors answering "viewer" questions:

The play in reverse order (parts 7 through 1), but it is okay because there is no time frame to them.

There's information about a new character for season six here:
http://www.scifiscoop.com/
It's spoiler country, BEWARE!
8) Jim
Thanks for the spoiler warning, Jim. I think I will skip it. I am not sure that knowing about a new character will mess things up, but better safe than sorry!
: ) P
Jim,
That "spoiler" seems more like far fetched speculation to me.
Yes, I'm still alive, just way too buisy.
Long time, no LOST blogging/reading...it's been a busy summer! Thank goodness, cause there has been absolutely NOTHING worth watching on TV this summer - at least not down here!
To re-visit PJ's trivia question, was 14J the code that the DI used when Alpert came into the camp after Sawyer and the others shot the hostiles that killed Paul?
EXCELLENT, LINS! Your turn!
I am not going to do my "bad math" from last hiatus and try to figure out how much longer we have until the start of the final season. However, I do know that LOST starts back to filming any day now which is nice to think about!
: ) P
Ok, here goes...who holds the record on the show for the most flashbacks and how many did he/she have?
I think Doc's right, that Jack had the most. I couldn't wager a guess because as I recall, many of Jack's flashbacks were in season finales and do you count the two or three parts as two or three episodes? Also, are we counting flashback EPISODES or totalling the wpe (whooshes per episode)?
My guess is that Kate isn't far behind Jack.
I like the question, LINS, because it makes you really THINK about the show! It's got me thinking about good follow-up questions!
: ) P
I read the statistic on the LP (I know, I know, it's not canon, but hey, it's good enough, IMO) so I'm not sure how they calculated it, but it's not Jack or Kate. I was a little surprised that it wasn't Jack, but the person is definitely a major character!
OK, I take back what I said about LP, it specifically says on Locke's page that he holds the record for most flashbacks, but then on Kate's page it says that she is second only to Jack in # of flashbacks, coming in at 13. Maybe they are counting them differently? Who knows, that's annoying.
So instead, what three characters all turned suicidal after leaving the island?
And did anyone see that Elizabeth Mitchell is supposed to be on some new show about aliens on ABC this fall?
TXYorkFamily said... Elizabeth Mitchell...aliens...?
Yeah, she's gonna be in "V" which is being remade from the series from the 80s. That one was underwhelming, IMHO.
More interesting, I think is that Sonya Walger (Penelope) and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie) are both going to be on "Flash Forward." That's the one that had the little snippet spots sometime last season where everyone loses consciousness for two minutes plus and sees their futures. Some of the futures are less pleasant than others. Producers are now saying it has legs for seven (seven?) seasons.
I think I like "Ark," a series to be on the web only (?), release TBD. The trailer shows a large vessel in space while text in a language not of this earth scrolls across the bottom of the screen.
8) Jim
Suicidal characters...
let's see, there's Michael, Jack and...
Locke. Had to really think on that one!
Okay, so I looked at LP and the page I looked at gave Jack 17 flashback EPISODES (counting multi-part episodes as separate episodes). Kate had 14 (I think). Locke was third with 11 (I think).
But as I said, if you talk about flashback SCENES, then it would be different and Locke makes sense because we saw him at so many different ages and stages.
Okay, here is my question and it probably has many answers, which is really just to make us think...
Which characters HAVEN'T had flashbacks?
: ) P
As for summer TV, I have enjoyed In Plain Sight (which was new last summer) and Royal Pains. Neither is anything like LOST (is ANYTHING like LOST?), but I have found them quite entertaining.
I haven't had much luck finding a venue for our potential LOST finale gathering, though I am still in communication with one theatre. Where are we in thought processes as to whether or not it might actually happen?
: ) P
Our summer TV down here pretty much stinks, but I haven't had a lot of time to watch anyway and I've been catching up on some reading...mostly my hubby just watches baseball and we do love to watch Wipeout! Not too much longer till new fall shows though, of course, it's a long wait still for LOST, but some of the good ones come back soon!!
And yes, PJ, you were correct!
It is pretty hilarious DocH, we have one that was so funny we've kept it on our DVR and watch it whenever we need a good laugh!
I watched the season opener of Wipeout because a friend was on. It was hilarious, but not something I would TiVo, so I haven't seen anything since.
The LOST cast is back at work. I am not sure why knowing that makes me happy.
LOL
: ) P
Reminding the group about the latest trivia question (any and all can give as many answers as they can):
Which characters HAVEN'T had flashbacks?
: ) P
Thanks for the add on FB. I do apologize for not having more time to contribute this summer. It has been a very busy one for me.
Everyone has been busy L4E, no worries there.
Come on boys and girls, surely someone can think of ONE character that hasn't had a flashback!? I will start: Vincent - though I think he might have been in Walt's. Was he?
: ) P
PJSander said...

Yeah, I think he was in a flashback in which Michael first met his non-infant son in Australia. However, are we talking about centricity? If so, Richard has never had his own flashback, although he has appeared in those of both Locke and Juliet.
8) Jim
Excellent, Jim! Walt hasn't had his own flashback either, though he (and Vincent) appeared in Michael's.
There are more!
: ) P
Rose and Bernard
R&B actually had a joint flashback to when they met in the snowy streets and later how they ended up in Australia.
Richard hasn't had a flashback (yet). There are MORE, folks! Keep thinking!
: ) P
Danielle did not have a flashback, we just saw her in time travel.
Excellent, Hammer.
There are still more characters. They may have appeared in OTHER people's flashbacks (like Walt) but didn't have their own.
: ) P
Christian Shepard and Charles Widmore haven't had their own, and for that matter I guess Eloise Hawking hasn't either though she appeared in Dan's...are we looking for someone in particular?
Well...I can think of a few:
Whidmore, Hawking, Paik, Abaddon, Mr. Friendly, Patchy, Frogurt, Steve...er was it Scott? ;), Radzinsky, Carl, Dr. Artz...is that a few?
Very good everyone! All I wanted was for us to get our LOST thinking caps back on, and I think we did.
Libby hasn't had her own flashback either, though she's appeared in several other people's.
Okay, so lots of people answered the question - anyone can pose a new one.
On another subject, I went to the old "podcast" section of the ABC website and it isn't there anymore. The podcast link now takes you to the iTunes website. Argh. My computer is already unhappy with me, so I am loathe to download anything new. Does anyone know if there are any summer podcasts to listen to before I do it?
: ) P
PJSander said...

The last podcasts I have are from May 11 (Damon and Carlton) between 5x15and 5x16 and a special May 16 (interview with Michael Emerson) post 5x16. The item from May 11 was supposed to be the last with D & C until ... whenever.
There's an interview with two writers at:

WAY TO GO MICHAEL EMERSON!!!! Finally, LOST gets an Emmy win!!
And his acceptance speech was perfect!
Did you see that the "featured" clip from LOST in the opening montage was the Sawyer/Juliet sequence that we all loved so much (and that was sadly overlooked by the Academy earlier)?
: ) P
LOST University is now registering students. I registered, took the test and only got 16/23. I definitely guess on a few of them, but didn't think I got THAT many wrong. Unless because it is *16* for a reason?
http://www.lostuniversity.org
: ) P
17 for me.
WooHoo, I got 21! Is there a way to go back and see which ones you missed?
Okay...had a LOST moment today (probabally sparked by the LU deal). I'm still trying to apply 'what happened, happened' and course correction to the goal of trying to change one of the numbers to 'stop the end of world'. It seemed to me that Juliet managed to blow the bomb in the '70s which clearly did not happen the first time the '70s happened. So...did she save the world or will that act need to be course corrected?
Another one that just hit me. This may have been mentioned before, but I thought that D&C alluded to the fact that there may be two Smokies. If so, one is Jacob and the other is dark haired beach guy. I think both have the ability to manifest or shapeshift or something similar. One judges and kills (for a motive not yet known) and the other protects the island (for a motive opposite of 'judge' Smokey).
Those are some DEEP thoughts after so long without LOST, Hammer!
Is anyone planning on watching FlashForward? I will give it a try, because of the producers' "cred" and two LOST stars, but I will tell you that I am skeptical it really will be the "next LOST" for me.
: ) P
PJSander said...
Is anyone planning on watching FlashForward?
Definitely! At least as long as the quality stays up.
TV execs seem to enjoy destroying shows. We're only one episode into Fringe and I've seen a reduction of quality in special effects. THE COW DOESN'T EVEN LOOK THE SAME! Rant over.
FlashForward is now "inspired by" instead of "based on" the book. I don't know if that's a good sign or not.
8) Jim
I think I will give it a try (Flash-Forward). I don't know if I'm up to being obsessed with another show...but it could be fun and nothing else is on while we are waiting for LOST. I'll be interested to see what those of you who watch it, think of it - I'll check in tomorrow to see. :)
I was pretty impressed, though it reeks of LOST and Fringe.
Saw the Oceanic billboard, and the 'observer'. Tons of LOST type references. Numbers seem to be big, easter eggs all over the place....
Oh...and no...the guys that is 'awake' at Comerica Park in Detroit wasn't me. ;)

Aww, Hammer, I had him pegged for you for sure! I'm still not sure I will stay long enough to get hooked, but I will probably watch it again next week.
Yes, FlashForward was good and I'll be back. There's already a wiki, course:
http://flashforward.wikia.com/wiki/FlashForward_Wiki
It's operated, for better or worse, by one of the newer Lostpedia sysops. I haven't looked at it since the pilot aired.
8) Jim
I haven't seen Fringe or FlashForward yet. We have the two Fringe episodes on TiVo, and I will be TiVoing FlashForward tonight. If we like it, there will be trouble given that we are long-time Survivor watchers. I guess we will have to watch one of the shows online because being ready to watch TV "live" at 8pm is just never going to happen here! LOL
I am fine with us all talking about both shows here, btw. It is a long four months until LOST is back.
: ) P
I liked it, it's always fun trying to figure out a puzzle! I guess it's a "wait and see" show, hopefully it will be good though, I'll need something to do to replace LOST!!
woohoo, I got 18! Much better than I thought I would do.
I also enjoyed flash forward (actually the reason I came to the site today), but I find it hard to believe it will be Lost-like. It certainly makes me pine for the Lost-days though.
Okay, I am hooked!
Finally got to watch FlashForward and it was terrific. Compelling, intriguing, character-driven and well written. I warmed up to it immediately, much more so than Fringe.
Was disappointed DM wasn't in it. What is up with THAT?! Unless that was all code for Charlie returning to LOST.
I didn't see the Fringe Observer... unless you mean the "awake" guy at the ball game (Hammer's not that tall - not that I know personally, but he's said so!).
Here are a few things that I did see as shout outs to LOST. The Oceanic sign and the bird hitting the window (as already mentioned). The big explosion, plane crashing, black smoke, a character named Charlie, oranges at the site of the car crash (like when Hurley sailed through the papaya stand). I really expected to see a Mr. Cluck's.
So here's a thought. What if the final "flashforward" in LOST takes place on April 29, 2010?
: ) P
DocH @ Tigers...true dat.
PJ @ FF being LOST epi...how cool?
Early prediction of 'awake guy'....he is looking for someone who happens to be at the Tiger game...it took 2 minutes and 17 to find said person then turn everyone back 'on'. And...dunt, dunt, daaaaahhh...the method used to shut off everyone for 2 minutes and 17 seconds is a DHARMA discovery that is used to solve LOST's issues this season.
Yep, PJ...I meant 'awake guy' and yep, I'm not tall enough. 5'4"...as you can see in my facebook photos...12 and 13 year old girls are taller.
I like your theory about why it was 2 minutes and 17 seconds, Hammer. I wonder if there were more "awake guys" we haven't seen yet?
So I looked IMDB and there is no one on FlashForward who is involved with LOST. (I thought it was a Bad Robot production.) So the Oceanic ad was a simple shout out to LOST and cannot be considered a clue of any kind I guess.
Two minutes and 17 seconds is 137 seconds. Let's chew on what that means... LOL
2:17, 4/29/2010, 137 seconds.

I'm sure there are more than one conscious guys (and gals?). Is suspect 0 wearing a long coat or a cape?
If you pick numbers:
15 + 15 + 23 + 42 + 42 = 137
Over at the LP, that's called apophenia, which is generally defined as "makin' sumpin' oughta nuttin'" because you want it to be true *grin*
I managed to get myself tagged as a sysop on the wiki, so come on over and lend a hand. Get in on the ground floor.

One of the biggest "LOST-esque" themes I noticed on Flashforward was, in addtion to the "time travel" concept of course, that the show STARTED with WHAT happened, and the rest will be about WHY it happened and what it all means. Our mission, if we choose to accept it, will be to figure all this out. I think I'm in. At least until LOST season returns!
Do we need a new thread?

I hear ya Doc, no direct connection yet. But the mere fact that ABS owns it can be all the connection needed. If ABC says connect 'em....they'll be connected.
Oh. The easter egg buggin' me the most is the back of the newspaper while they were doing the stake out. Time was the theme....
There's a nice series of "flashcards" and a long interview with the exec producers broken down into ten segments on Youtube. No spoilers. One of the producers (David S. Goyer) said that 4/29/10 is, conviently, sweeps week. Damon and Carlton may want to shoot for that may shoot for that. David also said that the Oceanic billboard was in place because he's a lost fan and, because he had to cover up a real billboard in the background for legal reasons, he called Damon and asked for permission to use Oceanic.

Oh, yeah, there's also buzz about both Genesis and Colossians 2:17

He should have lied...it would have kept up LOST geeks surrounding his show like great whites around a bleeding seal.
Just good marketing. ;)
Tarzan not understand recent talk.
Tarzan walk through jungle many times - get hit in head many times by falling coconut. Lose thinking many times... always start thinking again after 1-3-7 Honolulu's... 1 Honolulu, 2 Honolulu, 3 Honolulu... up to 1-3-7 Honolulu... wake-up everytime at 1-3-7 counting number. Tarzan smart as always Tarzan smart - each time.
Tarzan friends not lose thinking each time for 1-3-7 Honolulu's?
...Now Tarzan think Tarzan not as smart as Tarzan think Tarzan smart...
ouch!... now Tarzan thinking head hurt more than Tarzan thinking head normal hurt. Tarzan start to think Tarzan speech-impair and think-challenge. Tarzan fear he embarass small island friends.
No Tarzan, you are not embarrassing small islanders (at least not this chimp).
Just got caught up in the possiblities.
What if ABC says "connect 'em or you are canceled", huh?, huh?....nevermind. :)
FWIW, I still think LOST will go all the way through May sweeps. I just thought it would be cool if the farthest into the future the flashforwards to would be April 29th.
New thread will be started momentarily!
