EVIL PUPPET MASTERS

The Associated Press has put up their video recap of “I Do.”

There is some crazy chick with glasses who throws in her buck-fifty regarding the “Fall Finale” of Lost.

Oh wait…that’s me

I had heard that Time magazine was doing a piece about Lost in anticipation of the season premiere.  I hope this article isn’t it, because…well, it is just like every other LOST article out there.  Maybe my expectations are too high, but c’mon…it’s TIME MAGAZINE.  I know they called around, I know they talked to people — and this is what they came up with?

In an attempt to be more “unbiased” — the article is thorough.  It quotes BR peeps and fans of the show, as well as giving the standard “why LOST is changing TV” schpiel.  *sigh*  Okay, I’ll stop now.  Judge for yourselves.

Josh Tyler over at CinemaBlend posted a breakdown of the rumors that have been floating around, specifically the ones related to William Shatner and Matt Damon, and how those have now pretty much been debunked.

I’m sorry, but I have been TRYING to tell the Trek fans to pipe down and not believe the rumors that were floating around. Did they listen to me? No. There is a VERY small handful of people who I would consider to be “in the know” when it comes to the 11th Star Trek movie, and NONE of them are talking anytime soon. Why? BECAUSE IT’S TOO SOON.

I get that the Trek fans are chomping at the bit to hear something…ANYTHING…about the new movie. I understand that. What I have a problem with is the various websites playing on that rabid need for knowledge by posting information that has NO proof to back it up, thus perpetuating the rumors and only agitating the fans more. Stop the madness. Please.

Before I even start — there is a large contingent of Lost fans who abhor the term “Lostie,” and yes, I realize the irony.

This article by Bill Ervolino over at NorthJersey.com takes a look at the Lost fandom, how it has evolved and how it gets closer and closer to the mass and depth of the Star Trek fandom.
