EVIL PUPPET MASTERS

With all the articles posted this week about the LOST Season 4 finale, Parts 2 and 3 of which air tomorrow night, I found this piece from the L.A. Times regarding the excessive use of curse words in the LOST scripts to be highly amusing - and a refreshing something different. Having read a few scripts from that club of writers, I was aware of their fondness for the use of the “f-word” especially, but it was interesting to read Damon’s explanation - as well as Michael Emerson and Jorge Garcia giving their takes on reading said salty scripts.

The AP is once again putting up teaser videos for LOST. This week the video has a great interview with Michael Emerson, as well as clips from Episode 4.01. Here is the link:

LOST IS BACK!!!

****YES, THERE BE SPOILERS FOR 4.01****

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.

Lost actors Jorge Garcia, Michael Emerson, and Henry Ian Cusick, along with producer Jean Higgins participated in a Q&A session with fans at the Hawaiian International Film Festival this past weekend. Interesting quote from Jean:

Higgins said that it’s important that the island remain a mystery — especially to those living on it — because the show revolves around survival, and not understanding where you are is a key component to that. “We’ve always been careful not to reveal too much of it,” she said.

USA Today examines the S3 premiere of Lost, The Others and what we learned about them. Article also includes brief profile on three of The Others: Ms. Bea Klugh, Mr. Friendly and Ben (f/k/a the fake Henry Gale).

They interviewed Foxy for the article. Interesting quote from him:

“I honestly think it’s going to be the best year yet. I can tell by the way the producers are talking about the year ahead that the show’s going to do a lot of things it hasn’t done.

“And philosophically, it’s going to touch on some cool issues.”

There are also soundbites from Carlton and Michael Emerson. WARNING!!! Some spoilery talk about this season!!

Woooo Hoooo!!! Lost returns tonight!! Which means there will be an onslaught of articles about the return of Lost posted today as well. Oy.

CNN has a piece that is mainly about Michael Emerson, who plays The Other f/k/a Henry Gale. It gives a nice background on Michael, but they have interspersed some SPOILERY PLOT POINTS in the article, so be forewarned.

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!
