The most indepth article on Locke you’ve ever read (which includes heavy doses of quotes from TOQ, Damon and Carlton, as well).

**Still playing catch up, but you CAN’T miss this article!**

In this week’s Ask Ausiello over at TVGuide, Michael dropped the bombshell that a new female role was being cast for Lost. Now, before you Castaway Ken and Barbie haters go ballistic, you should read this first (from the same AA column):

According to exec producer Carlton Cuse, “She does not appear in a flashback, she is not an Other, and she is not one of the survivors of Flight 815.” What does that leave? You tell me!

Hmmmm…very intriguing. If you click on over to the Ausiello Report, you’ll see that the role has been cast!!

The summary for Lost episode 3.11 is up. Click below to read it:

You can read the full cover story by Entertainment Weekly on Lost, including pics from the mag, by going HERE. Being the spoiler-phobe that I am, I haven’t read the whole article, but I am going to assume that there are basic plot spoilers.

According to this SciFiWire article, ABC.com will be adding a whole lotta stuff to its Lost site. Things to look forward to? SIXTY backstory vids related to the “four main characters” (defined to be Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Locke), though don’t get too excited — they do not appear to contain any new content, but are snips from previously aired episodes. Which makes the kind of sense that…doesn’t. Other stuff that is actually new includes clips of some of the S3 DVD features and something called “Writer’s Rotation” which is not, as I first thought, a study of the writers who have been rotated through Lost Labs, but a look at the music that said writers listen to when they are being their wacky creative selves. Check the article for other LOST-goodness.

Entertainment Weekly asked for readers to send in questions for the Lost producers, in anticipation of the return of the show tonight. Go here to read the questions posed and the answers given. SPOILER WARNING!

Kristin Veitch absolutely raves about tomorrow night’s Lost return, and shares some spoilers that she rustled up as well. There are some vid clip interviews with Josh, Evie and others on the same page.

USA Today’s Bill Keveney is one of the better reporter’s out there. Whenever he is writing an article on Lost, he makes a sincere effort to get quotes from various sites — including posting on The Fuselage asking for LOST fans to contact him.

His latest LOST article quotes a couple of my fellow ‘Lagers (way to go TMitH and LBM!!) and sets us up for the rest of the season.

How “exclusive” is an interview if a number of news outlets are ALSO getting “exclusive” interviews? And pretty much asking the same thing? I wonder about these things…

The return of Lost is definitely on the horizon, because it seems EVERYBODY has an “exclusive” interview with the Big Two (aka Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse). I posted a couple of links below — just assume that there will be spoilers of some sort:

The following comes from a press release from ABC:

LOST SURVIVOR GUIDE SPECIAL — WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7 (9:00-10:00 p.m.) — ABC once again invites new and avid “Lost” viewers to take another look at one of the most talked about and critically acclaimed shows. “Lost Survivor Guide” will explore the series in a way that will bring new viewers up to date — but which current viewers will also find illuminating in anticipation of the return of the second act of the series’ third season. From the back stories of some of the most interesting characters on television to the mysteries of the island, “Lost Survivor Guide” will provide an insightful glimpse into the lives of some of the survivors of the doomed Oceanic Airlines flight 815. Hosted by “Lost” executive producers Damon Lindelof (also a co-creator of the show) and Carlton Cuse, the special will be told in a linear fashion, culminating from pieces of the back stories revealed over multiple episodes in the series, “Lost Survivor Guide” focuses on the flashbacks of a core of characters — illustrating who they were and what they were doing before the crash, and how the island has changed their lives, for better or worse. In addition, the island itself will be explored culled from events that have taken place which may reveal some of its secrets that might have been missed upon first viewing.

A survey by HollywoodToday.net seems to show that many fans support Damon and Carlton’s comments about wanting to have a definitive end date for Lost. Click this press release to read more about this, which includes quotes from fans at various message boards.

Lost fans across the Pond won’t have to wait too long to get Episode 3.07 “Not in Portland” — Sky One announced that Lost will return on February 11th at 10 p.m.. They are also airing a special on February 9th at 10 p.m. — check the article for details.

WARNING! One casting spoiler contained in the article for a future episode!

I’ve read enough of these summaries of the Lost panel from the TCA press tour to know that THIS ONE by IGN is probably the only one you need to read. These guys must have taped the thing, because the article is FIVE PAGES long (and includes pictures, which is always a good thing).

I haven’t had a chance to read the entire article yet, but read enough to know that it does contain SPOILERS for the rest of Season 3 and various characters’ storylines.

I finally had a chance to read Kristin Veitch’s “live blog” of the Lost panel at the TCA’s last weekend. You can find it HERE. She did have a few tidbits that I had not read elsewhere, including a confirmation that Kate and Sawyer were taken by Ben to help in manipulating Jack to perform the surgery. There ARE SPOILERS, so be wary.

ALSO — if you are a fan of Heroes, she mentions a SPOILER for that show as well. You’ve been warned.
