@Loster21’s Tweets O’ the Day for February 7, 2010 and LOSTblog Weekend Wrapup
by Erin on Feb.08, 2010, under By Fans
Didja see the Super Bowl? More important, didja see the LOST-related commercials? One featured Francois Chau (Dr Chang/Halliwax/Candle) in a lab coat, the other is of survivors of a plane crash on a tropical island, featuring one decidedly Kate-looking castaway. See them both here. In response we saw a lot of fan tweets like these:
jenwag57 – I got more excited from that commercial than any other because I yelled out Lost, Pierre Chang!
YaGottaBKiddnMe – LOL! Bud Light is loving LOST this year
Book Review: The Gospel According to Lost
by Scott on Feb.08, 2010, under Analysis, By Fans, For Fans, Scott
If you are looking for a book that explains how the TV show LOST will end, The Gospel According to LOST by Pastor Chris Seay is NOT for you. However, if you are interested in pursuing dynamics from the hit show that are tie-ins to Christianity and how the characters of LOST remind us of our own need to pursue a relationship with God, this book is right up your alley.
In defense of Stranger in a Strange Land
by Jon on Feb.08, 2010, under Analysis, By Fans, For Fans, Jon, Recaps
I’ve already leaped to the defense of Exposé. Now I’m taking on the Spock’s Beard (per @justinkeyes) episode of LOST and giving a bit of apology for giving it a little rewatch.
So let it not be said that I’m not afraid of taking risks.
First, regarding Stranger in a Strange Land let’s just jump through all the Bai Ling scenes and any reference to Thailand. I’m on board with having @mjgoldman dump those in the editing bin when mastering the LOST complete series Bluray set.
New Theories Blog by Mulderism
by Erin on Feb.08, 2010, under About Fans, Analysis, Articles, By Fans, For Fans, Interviews, Theories
I am very happy to report that the warm and wonderful woman that so many of us know as @Mulderism on Twitter, Djuna Rykiel, has started up a new LOST theories blog called “lostrithm.” If you know Djuna at all you know that she is extremely thoughtful and deep, and you’ll see the same in her blog. When asked about it Djuna replies:
Still tweaking, still updating. As I mention on the blog, the past theories will be linked to specific livejournal entries to honour the time stamp. The newest entries will deal with fleshed out theories. Promise no spoilers. It’s always light-hearted speculation.
lostrithm is definitely worth a look, so go check it out! Congratulations and thanks, Djuna!
Jorge Garcia’s blogging experiment – Geronimo Jack’s Beard
by Jon on Feb.08, 2010, under By Fans, For Fans, Podcast
I listened to this last week, and I must claim overwhelming real life to have not posted a blog about it. Jorge Garcia and his trusty sidekick (Sidekick22) Beth , are podcasting LOST episodes. They’re spoiler-free (but not necessarily insider information free according to @DonaldJr) because, they’re recording the podcast’s when they first get the script for the episodes. It’s great to listen to Jorge and Beth kibbutz about what going on and listen to how they’re just as confused as we are about the episode LA_X.
Give it a listen here:

From DamonCarltonandAPolarBear.com :
In celebration of LOST’s final season and as a project of fan appreciation, 16 top designers and artists, who are also fans of the show, were commissioned to create artwork celebrating one of the series’ most memorable, and unforgettable, “water cooler” moments. This ultimate “fan art” was then turned into labor intensive, hand-pulled screen prints, limited to an edition of just 300, with less than 200 available to the public through our websites. Each beautiful poster tells its own different story, allowing the fan to relive memorable and influential moments in an artistic manner, as the show’s storied run comes to a close. Once this limited edition print has sold out, they will never be printed again. Celebrate the fandom, community and family created by one of televisions’ greatest shows by hanging a little part of it’s history, inspiration and influence on your wall.
Now that all 16 of the prints have been released, Lost Blog has set out to interview each of the respective artists. All these talented artists have different influences, different backgrounds, and accordingly…different takes on our favorite show. Over the next few weeks we will post our interviews with these incredible talents. Enjoy.
Our 7th interview is with Rob Jones. His piece is entitled “The Swan Station.”
LOSTblog: How did you become a fan of LOST?
Rob Jones: I read somewhere the guy that did Alias had a new show. I liked Alias and anyone who gives employment to Victor Garber, so I checked it out.
LOSTblog: Describe the details of how you were contacted to do the poster?
Rob Jones: By phone. A while ago. Jensen at Gallery 1988.
LOSTblog: What instructions or parameters were you given for the poster?
Rob Jones: I was told it had to be 18X24.
LOSTblog: What was your process for developing the poster?
Rob Jones: My inspiration was Lost, alchemy, the I Ching, the multi-layered symbolic opportunities of swans, David Bowie’s “Cygnet Committee”, Flowers in the Attic, and the cycle of failure inherent in revolutions.
The only thing I took too long struggling with was the back of the swan. I largely based it off a swan from an old box of matches. I had it as is and with the back wings and tail being more suggestive of fire by varying degrees. It looked too hot-rod, so I kept it as subtle (probably too subtle) as it looks now.

The LOSTBlog.com Interview: 16 Questions We Asked Lyly Ford
by Catherine Ryan Howard on Feb.08, 2010, under About Fans, By Fans, Cath, Interviews
Lyly Ford is 25, from France and in her words ‘a crazy LOST fan’ who gets up in the middle of the night so she can watch LOST at the same time as her friends across the Pond. Her LOST blog (http://lylyford.blogspot.com) is packed full of news, videos and exclusive pics and you can follow Lyly on Twitter here.
Q: How long have you been watching Lost?
A: I started watching LOST in 2004 in France. I didn’t watch the pilot; I started with the middle of The Moth. When I first saw the preview of LOST in TF1 it was the Season 1 poster and it seemed to me like another reality show with people in a jungle, so I continued to watch Smallville. Even when my friend told me it was a new series, Dominic Monaghan was in it, it was a JJ Abrams show and she told me about the first episode I was like, nah – this show seems to suck! But then after the season finale of Smallville I was bored and I thought, what can I watch? I changed the channel and Sawyer, The Moth and I hooked up. I watched the pilot and the 6 episodes I’d missed at the beginning of Season 1. I was amazed at the pilot. The first part is great but my favourite is the second – I loved the revelation about Rousseau and Charlie’s line, ‘Guys, where are we?’
Q: How did Lost get its polar bear claws into you? What about it got you hooked?
A: Sawyer and Locke! Seriously it’s them who made me watch week after week, one for a emotional level, the other for the mystery on the island.
TMBG theory of LOST: Ode to Particle Man?
by Jon on Feb.08, 2010, under Analysis, By Fans, For Fans, Humor
Thanks to a pre-coffee discussion with @badm0mbot on Twitter, my mind in a serious caffeine deficit jumped to this conclusion: LOST is based on They Might Be Giants lyrics!
First proof: Particle Man (lyrics)
A story of four different “men” (or is it mans?). Particle Man seems to be not fixed in time or space, “Is he a dot, or is he a speck? when he’s underwater does he get wet?” I think that’s pointing to Desmond, but I could be persuaded that it’s Daniel given that he went underwater in a submarine and didn’t get wet.
Triangle man seems to hate everybody. So I’m thinking Triangle Man is Smokey/MiB. He picks fights with Particle Man and later with Person Man (Is he depressed, is he a mess? Does he feel totally worthless?). Person Man also lives in a garbage can. So Person Man is obviously John Locke (Triangle Man fights Person Man, Triangle wins).

Super Bowl XLIV Ads: LOST is everywhere.
by Jon on Feb.07, 2010, under EW, For Fans, Lost Videos
Bud Light ad peeps are beast at picking up pop-culture trends, and so naturally embeds some LOSTian icons into some ads during the Super Bowl. Which I’m sure made ABC happy. First up Pierre Chang in the Second-Timeline seems to have picked up a job saving the world, brother. Avoiding armgeddon by hard partying.
The next is pure blantant parody, and awesome. I guess even in bizarro land no one listens to Kate. According to @EWDocJesen Damon responded to EW with the following:
My love for seeing Francois Chau (Dr. Candle) back in a white labcoat… is surpassed only by kicking myself for never having thought to use one of the plane engines as a hot tub.

Hey Losties, sorry but I was caught in a flash-sideways which took up my ENTIRE DAY yesterday! Scary! So these tweets are primarily from LOST production on February 5 (for other February 5 tweets check out the UK Premiere Live Tweeting Edition) and from Simon Pegg (Scotty in the Star Trek movie) plus a couple of Super Bowl tweets from this morning that needed to be posted before the game today!
DamonLindelof – Sorry, I’ve been down the rabbit hole. Overwhelming week. And yeah, I heard about WATCHMEN sequel. What do YOU think I think? 1:52 PM Feb 5th
