Hooray!  It’s finally time for this week’s Reaction Edition of Tweets O’ the Day!  What an amazing episode!  This week I’m going to start off with one person’s tweets posted while she was watching, near the end of the episode, in the X verse.  My very good friend and (I promise, entirely coincidentally) Birthday Woman @YaGottaBKiddnMe has hoped for a long time that Ben is actually good, but he always disappoints.  This week her hopes were once again up…

YaGottaBKiddnMe – Tell me he didn’t. Tell me he didn’t. Tell me he didn’t!!!!!! Tell me he didn’t!!!!!! BEN!!!! #lost 6:55 PM Mar 9th

YaGottaBKiddnMe  – Ohhh thank goodness. I’m gonna have a heart attack with this episode!! Up down fear terror don’t YES holy frak I need a doctor. #lost 6:55 PM Mar 9th

YaGottaBKiddnMe – *Clear!!* 6:56 PM Mar 9th

YaGottaBKiddnMe – I can’t stop grinning, or laughing!!! Oh wait what the hell!!!! WHAT???????? #lost 6:59 PM Mar 9th

Yes, quite the nice little surprise at the end for those of us who are spoiler free!  Now on to the post-episode reactions, in (mostly) no particular order:

Hey, I’m finally back!  Breaking in the new computer.  Like last week, I’m busily marking all sorts of great tweets that were posted in reaction to this week’s episode.  Also like last week, I’m saving those until Friday at 2 pm Pacific time, which is when the UK broadcast ends.  Most of the LOST tweets over the past couple of days have been reaction tweets, but I found a few non-spoiler gems:

Benjamin__Linus – I should have won best actor for playing the role as Henry Gale. 8:41 PM Mar 7th

Here’s a great comment about the LOSTblog editor’s prehash post:

imablonde21 – @LOST_BOSS The last paragraph makes me think…It’s all smoke and mirrors on the Island…literally. 7:15 AM Mar 8th

Thanks to a secret source for pointing us to this video made in 2007 by Investig8tr.  The theory may have been disproven by subsequent seasons but it was definitely feasible at the time.  Terrific production values, really fun to watch!

Thanks again to Investig8r and to my secret source!

Welcome to the mondo mega edition of my Tweets O’ the Day!  Friday’s post was a collection of reaction-to-Sundown tweets from the week, and I couldn’t post yesterday, so here’s a big glob o’ excellent LOSTie tweets for you from Thursday through this morning!  Cherish and treasure them, I may not be able to post again until Wednesday!  Once again in (mostly) no particular order, just like we see them on Twitter:

dangenders – looking forward to the next episode of #lost tonight, truely believe its the best tv drama in the world today! 10:03 AM Mar 4th

mjgoldman – I can’t tell you what it is, but I just saw the cover page of the penultimate script, and the TITLE made me gasp and say out loud: “Wow.” 11:15 AM Mar 4th

Mark Goldman, our favorite tweeting LOST editor, may now add Giant Tease to his resume.  Not that I want to know, staying spoiler free, but still!  And hang on, is the next tweet a hint?

Thanks to Carlton Cuse and Mark Goldman for tweeting a head’s up about this great fan video by xSoppySofax:

Love it! Thanks to Sophie and to LOST for this great video!

As you may know, I keep the Tweets O’ the Day spoiler free for the current week’s episode until after the UK broadcast at 10pm their time on Friday.  Unfortunately that has meant that I have had to pass by several really great tweets about the episode every week.  This week I decided to do something about that.  I’ve saved some of my favorite tweets about Sundown throughout the week, which has resulted in this Special Edition TOTD.  In no particular order, then, here we go:

growlf – Did anyone else get a serious case of the heebie-jeebies during the last minute of #Lost.

dwselby – AVAILABLE: Jungle temple. Includes pool, custom wall art, big yard. Some smoke damage.

OneEyedJuliet – Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! LOST! WTF! that’s kind of a weekly staple statement from me, lately!

(continue reading…)

Still Episode 6 Spoiler Free today, but tomorrow, LOOK OUT!  It’ll be a Special Edition TOTD filled with reactions to the episode!  Today, though, we start out with our favorite tweeting professional basketball playing new LOST watcher:

nate_robinson – Yo michael ain’t dead y’all my bad but he messed up big time #wordaapp lol about 15 hours ago

nate_robinson – I’m only on season 2 y’all relax #wordaapp about 14 hours ago

Here’s the latest crossover theory:

JeffCole53 – I think Scully and Muldaur are going to walk of the jungle in the final episode of #Lost and blame the whole on FEMA. about 16 hours ago

As a reminder, our favorite tweeting LOST editor Mark Goldman was the director of “LaFleur”:

derbykid – @mjgoldman Just so you know, there are people celebrating the anniversary of “LaFleur” today about 19 hours ago

803er – @derbykid does Hallmark make a card for that ? about 19 hours ago in reply to derbykid

OK US LOSTies, what did you think?  No worries, as always there are NO SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEK’S EPISODE in the TOTD until Friday afternoon’s post!  I did, however, capture a lot of the tweets posted in response to the episode last night and today, and I’m saving them for a post Friday afternoon.  Don’t miss it!  Until then, some non-spoiler tweets from yesterday:

General LOSTness:

My thoughts and prayers to all who have been affected by the earthquake in Chile and the resulting tsunami.  Though for many it ended up being a “dodged bullet,” hundreds were killed and many more were injured or lost homes.  It is to be taken with a sigh of relief that, in Hawaii, it ended up being a non-event.  Until that was certain, however, we were all very concerned about what might happen to our beloved LOST cast and crew who were there.

Having so stated, this is an interesting read.  Damon and Carlton were understandably concerned about their cast and crew’s welfare, @aohora was tweeting about what was actually going on in Hawaii, and @gjacksbeard’s had another perspective on the situation.  FYI, @aohora is a rabid LOSTie and a contributor to LOSTblog who lives in Hawaii, and of course @gjacksbeard is the Twitter account for Jorge Garcia and Beth:

aohora – Network/LOST production don’t NEED an evacuation plan! Grass Skirt Prod isn’t in the zone and they can just cancel shooting everywhere else.

gjacksbeard – Just woke up to tsunami sirens. Heading to higher ground like Stevie Wonder.

CarltonCuse – To ALL on the LOST crew — responding to the Tsunami warning — safe refuge is available at the studio.

CarltonCuse – Waves to reach Hawaii just after 11 AM.

aohora – @CarltonCuse Repeat: YES: SWELL/very high tide. NO: TIDAL WAVES.

DamonLindelof – Praying for Chile and all the islands of Hawaii. Please send our cast and crew all your positive energy.

aohora – See, this is why I HATE mass media news in the 21 C. My GRANDMA is in a PANIC thinkin’ I’m gonna be swept away by a tidal wave! GEEZ!

aohora – And honestly, I’ll take a “psuedo-tsunami” over the snow covering the rest of the U.S. ANY DAY!

aohora – … The problem is keeping people off the roads and getting people in evac zones to actually evac. Staying off the roads-IMPORTANT!

aohora – … You gotta remember, civil panic does not exist here. Unless someone big says, Please get moving, they won’t bother moving.

gjacksbeard – Headed up the hill to Ken and Nancy’s house. Made breakfast. Waiting for the waves. Hoping our house doesn’t get hit too badly.

gjacksbeard – Tsunami salami. Still nothing happening here. Everyone’s napping now.

If you have a Nintendo Wii system you know that the avatars you can create for it are called Miis.  You are given a number of choices with hair, eyes, etc, and you can also choose shirt color and give them a name.  I’ve created these Miis for my Wii to look like some LOST characters and posted them on the Check Mii Out Channel, where anyone with a Wii can see them and even copy them to their own systems if they want.

My apologies, there are a limited number of hair styles, etc., so I am continually tweaking them.  If you copied my previous characters, they have all changed but retained the same number, so you would need to re-favorite them if you prefer the updated Miis.  Also, since these photos are of my tv screen, there are some limitations there as well, especially as to color.

All of the Miis on your Wii system will show up in random games.  For me, it’s Wii Fit.  It is so much fun to throw a snowball at Ben while I’m playing Snowball Fight or ride past Richard when I’m doing Island Cycling! If you want to see them on your own system, go to the Check Mii Out Channel on Wii and search the numbers of the characters:

Jack 6965 0522 8505
