This interview with JJ Abrams by WIRED is over a month old, and I apologize. I’m weeding through my inbox to try and make sure I post the interviews and articles that shouldn’t be missed. Bear with me 
In this interview, JJ talks a tiny bit about Trek, his kids, his influences (Rod Sterling and Aristotle, if you’re curious), LOST, and The Dark Tower.
Love her or hate her, Kristin Veitch from E! got herself an exclusive visit to the set of Lost in Hawaii. She is going to be posting vid clips of her adventures and interviews every Wednesday for the next three weeks on E!Online. She does warn that there will be spoilers!
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.
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.

The Time magazine article (of the same name) is a cool breakdown of Foxy’s acting talents and how he engages people he is speaking with. I like this little bit from the interviewer:
That’s Fox’s great skill: he’s the homecoming king who’s somehow interested in you. Dawson is planning a fishing trip with him. I, for one, am convinced that Fox cares deeply about what music I listen to, even though I own every Billy Joel album and he’s good friends with Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day.
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:
William Shatner was in the Time magazine proverbial “hot seat” and answered their 10 Questions. Naturally, the forthcoming Star Trek: XI movie came up, as did JJ.
As usual, please take his ST:XI comments with a grain of salt 
The one thing you can never deny is that Greg Grunberg and JJ Abrams in one room can make any event better. They are at their best when they are teasing each other, which is exactly what Greg does in this small article from the Rotten Tomatoes website. He also mentions what he would like to play in the 11th Star Trek movie that JJ is working on.
In this interview with iFMagazine, Jennifer Garner discusses her new movie “Catch & Release” as well as the end of Alias. This is the first part of the interview.
There is a nice interview with Jorge Garcia over at TeenTelevision.com. Interesting bits and funny bits, of course. There is one tiny casting spoiler related to the next Hurley-centric episode.
And by “brief” — I mean BRIEF, so don’t get your hopes up. But iFMagazine did get The Nomad to at least reiterate what is confirmed and NOT confirmed. In the unconfirmed category? STILL nothing official about whether or not JJ is going to direct.
I have not read the actual Men’s Journal article that got quoted in this AP article, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want to. I am a fan of Matthew Fox — I really am. But the stuff he says in that article, whether it be true or not, is just stupid. Is he afraid that he is coming off as being too boring or something like that? GEEZ!
Elizabeth Mitchell discusses her character in an interview with SCI FI Wire that took place over the weekend. She doesn’t get into anything too spoilery, but confirms that the February 7th episode, “Not in Portland,” is Juliet-centric.
Following that Lost panel at Television Arts & Sciences this past Sunday, SCI FI Wire snagged an interview with Damon Lindelof, wherein The Nomad indicates that their hope is to end the show around 100 episodes (or after the fifth season). Quotage from Damon in the article:
“We all looked at each other at the very beginning and said, ‘By the grace of God will this show even survive 13 episodes,’” he said. “So Carlton and I are able to now sit down with [the network] and say, ‘Remember in the very beginning when you were having us convince you that this thing could go on for years and years and years and we all agreed it couldn’t? Well, now, just because it’s successful doesn’t mean that that’s changed.’ The reality is, they can produce a sixth or seventh or eight season, but would anybody be watching?
Preach it, brotha. Let’s hope the network is listening.
