Fans of Lost in Paris should be looking forward to this monumental event which will take place this April.
In line with the celebration of the Jules Verne Festival, show creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, including some cast members, will be gracing the festival on Saturday, April, the 25th, 8:00pm, at the Grand Rex Theater, Paris, France, according to the press release. They will be awarded with the Jules Verne Achievement award, and at the same time, Season 5’s first episode will be featured there.
Tickets may be purchased at FNAC. Check here for more details.
How many days left? Just under two weeks right? How many previews and teasers have you watched? They’ve released a couple more during the holidays but I personally didn’t try to take a peek; I’m trying to keep my excitement intact.
But here is a message from Evangeline Lilly regarding the flow of her character’s story in the first half of the upcoming season. In an interview with TV Mag, the actress is telling us fans we should all be patient when we’re watching the scenes unfold:
Kate is a very different person now: she has been “rescued” from the Island and became a mother. This season, I want to ask fans to summon up patience, because the first half is very complicated… It’s like a puzzle, where we will learn about the characters only step by step. In the second half, your patience will be rewarded!
It sounds like we’re in for another mysterious ride, isn’t it? But what is Lost without the mystery, anyway?
I know that Season 5 is only days away but I am taking this time to spend the holidays with friends and family off in an island somewhere. But I am leaving you with this beautiful Lost Christmas Tribute I found off Youtube —
Sometime last week, a bunch of postcards or e-cards at the official Lost website went on display. I’m not liking the designs, but those postcards aren’t there as an eye candy. Fans think these are another bunch of clues for the upcoming season.
This one to the right, is obviously a image of Sawyer looking out to the sea…perhaps wondering if he’s ever going to see the six again.
The postcard with the tagline “Get Away To Find Yourself” has a beach in the background. It’s the perfect card to send to someone like Jack.
“Return to the Island” postcard has the image of an airplane on it. That’s what we’re all expecting to happen for the upcoming season, isn’t it? It’s the same thing for the postcard with the words “Come Back” on it.
We see the black smoke monster again in the postcard with the tagline “Expect the Unexpected”. I don’t even wanna get a card like this…but going with the show, is this thing going to be making its appearance this season again?
“The Island Cures What Ails You” is a postcard aptly dedicated to someone like Locke or Rose. But why it’s part of this whole set is my question — is this in reference to what we will come to know this season? Is there going to be answers for this, finally?
Here are the rest of the postcards. Which design do you like the best? I actually like the one with Sawyer’s image. The rest though are pretty fantastic, too.
I have lost count of how many previews and teasers there are of Lost now. And I really don’t intend to watch every single one of it because a good number of those teasers may spoil my viewing come January. But this latest one is really, really making a lot of the fans very curious.
I haven’t decided if I should watch it. But based on the comments from other people, this new teaser is very different from the ones previously released.
a man plummeting off a balcony! Some dude completely engulfed in flames
and Lost’s Locke appearing to speak backwards
Curious enough? Watch the teaser:
After viewing that, check what Locke supposedly did say, as this site has tried to reverse the audio and haven’t really come up with a solid conclusion.
It’s not too late to make your Christmas gift purchase! If you haven’t bought something for your Lost junkie friend and if you’re thinking of something to get a Lost Fan, then look no further and spend at least $12 for these bags (they are pretty affordable, huh?):
I found them at this site. These are natural canvas tote bags, called Flight 815 Tote Bag. They are super perfect for anyone who breathes and dreams of Lost.
I admit I do not understand what Time Shifted Program means because it baffles me as to which show is #1 is on the list, when I know Heroes has been experiencing slumps.
But Lost is in it, too. So, a best in anything sounds like it must be a good one:

“Breaking Bad”
“In Treatment”
“John Adams”
“Life” “Lost” “Mad Men” “The Office”
“Recount”
“The Shield”
“The Wire”
Missing from the lists are AFI favorites from last year like - 30 Rock,” “Dexter,” and “Friday Night Lights.” “The Mentalist”, this seasons most watched new program is also missing, while True Blood,” revered as the best new TV show, is also not included.
The American Film Institute Awards TV jury was chaired by Richard Frank, AFI Trustee Emeritus. The jurors: Neal Baer, writer, producer; John Caldwell, UCLA; Jean Picker Firstenberg, AFI president emerita; Mary McNamara, L.A. Times; Kathleen Nolan, actor; James Poniewozik, Time; Del Reisman, writer, senior lecturer, AFI Conservatory; Matt Roush, TV Guide; Ellen Seiter, University of Southern California; John Shaffner, president, Academy of Television Arts & Sciences; Beretta E. Smith-Shomade, University of Arizona; Tony To, director, producer.
Lost cast member Daniel Dae Kim is going to be in a London production of the King and I. But there’s no cause to worry, there’s no reason to wonder if Jin is dead or alive or coming back to the show. The play will only run for one month in June 2009. It will be staged at the Royal Albert Hall.
Keile Sanchez was briefly in the third and fourth season of Lost (she was only part of a flashback in the fourth, if I remember correctly) so to some viewers of the show, she may have already been forgotten.
In Lost, she played Nikki Fernandez…the woman our Losties thought had died along with her boyfriend, that they ended up burying them alive on the island. Here is a profile of her character on Lostpedia.
The actress will soon star in a TV series on Showtime. She will play opposite Matthew Perry in The End of Steve.
The actress who plays Penny on Lost, Sonya Walger, is doing a new series for ABC and it may be one kind of a show she’s most likely familiar or comfortable with by now, because it has a similar premise as Lost — time traveling.
The story is based on Robert J. Sawyer’s sci-fi novel. Entitled “Flash Foward”, according to the Hollywood Reporter, this will be about “the chaos that ensues after everyone in the world passes out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and has a vision of the future.”
Sonya Walger will play Olivia, a woman who has visions of being in love with another man (Desmond?!). Joining Sonya will be Joseph Fiennes who will play Mark Banford, her husband and Christine Woods who will play an FBI agent trying to uncover the case.
