EVIL PUPPET MASTERS

Daniel Dae Kim posted the following message and video to his MySpace:

Here’s the video that I’ve been working on with Harold for his song, “Stay Strong.” It’s a thank you card for the troops and their service to our country. It was a labor of love, and everyone involved in the making of the video volunteered their services.
Regardless of how you feel about the war, I hope you’ll agree that our troops deserve our support, especially during this special time of year.

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.

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.

The Honolulu Advertiser has a write up of the LOST S3 premiere party held in Waikiki this past weekend.

WARNING!! There are photos and cast comments that could be considered SPOILERY!

ABC News put up this article earlier this month, but I missed it during the impromptu hiatus.  Includes some quotes from DDK, including this one:

Kim told 20/20 he’d played at least fifty roles on television and had never gotten to kiss a woman on-screen until “Lost.” Kim says Hollywood stereotypes Asian American actors, relegating them to certain roles. “We’ve been portrayed as inscrutable villains and asexualized kind of eunuchs,” Kim says. “Even Jackie Chan in his movies rarely gets to kiss his female lead.”

Bravo to Lost for making strides to tear down this stereotypical wall.  The Jin/Sun relationship is probably my favorite storyline on the show, and their ethnicity only adds another dimension to their love story.

And yet another interview from the Lost S2 DVD Launch Party.  That Todd at IGN must have been working his arse off out in Hawai’i.

In this interview with Daniel Dae Kim, Todd asks about the development of the Jin character through Season 2, and what DDK hopes for his character in the future.
