@Loster21’s Tweets O’ the Day – Dr Linus Reaction Edition
by Erin on Mar.12, 2010, under About Fans, By Fans, For Fans, Twitterings
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:
@Loster21’s Tweets O’ the Day from March 8-10, 2010
by Erin on Mar.11, 2010, under About Fans, By Fans, For Fans, Twitterings
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

MORE of Amy’s Favorite #LOST Fan Vids via Lost Video Island!
One of my favorite LOST art forms are vids, basically music videos created by using clips of LOST. Once a week, on LOST day, I’ll be posting a few of my favorite fan vids primarily collected from LOST Video Island – a site dedicated to hosting, viewing and “grading” vids. [I HIGHLY recommend this site if you want to see LOTS of fun and interesting fan art!]
Big news! ABC is now holding a FAN PROMO CONTEST! Fans are invited to create and submit a 35 sec promo for the LOST series FINALE (which is only 9 weeks away! Bah!). Fans can create and submit their own creations directly on the ABC site! If you want, you can even watch and rate promos submitted by other fans!
[Apparently there's some kind of "shot at having your work shown on TV!" OH, and "You can win a trip to a LOST party." (?)]
Amy’s official response: Uh—Whatever.
BECAUSE, vidders at Lost Video Island have been creating amazing LOST promos for YEARS! So, in honor of ABC and its promo “contest”, this week’s vids are ALL LOST Season 6 Promos, including our featured vid created by “DJC PRODUCTIONS.” This vid is first in a serious called “Lost Origins,” and it is AWESOME!
Today’s vid selections: FAN-created LOST Season 6 Promos featuring Claire, Charlie, Juliet, Kate and Jack.
FEATURED VID: “LOST Origins I” by DJC Productions
(I kid you not, ya’ll. This is a seriously, seriously COOL VID.)

The LOSTBlog.com Interview: The 16 Questions We Asked Amanda Vare and Will Thame of GritFX.com
by Catherine Ryan Howard on Mar.09, 2010, under About Fans, By Fans, Cath, Interviews
While we count down to tonight’s episode of LOST – and I, five hours ahead here in Ireland, try to stay awake for it! – let’s delve into the fanverse and put our 16 questions to the funny and talented Amanda Vare (AKA Manz) and Will Thame (AKA Wadrick) of GritFX.com, where you can buy some of the coolest and original LOST tees and other merchandise this side of the Island. (I want them ALL.) You can browse their LOST designs here and follow them on Twitter here. Read on to find out which one of them wants to be the time-traveling bunny, their fairly, um, aggressive elevator pitches and some very cool fun they had with Lego…
Q: How long have you been watching Lost? If you’ve been watching since the pilot, can you remember your initial reaction to it?
WADRICK: I’ve been watching LOST since the pilot. I can remember seeing the promo stuff on the tube before the show began, and I remember thinking it looked like a cross between Gilligan’s Island and The Twilight Zone. Which was enough to peak my interest. After watching the pilot (and seeing the pilot get eaten by the “whatever-the-hell-that-thing-in-the-jungle-is”, because we didn’t know it was a smoke monster back then), I recall thinking that this show was going to be something else.
MANZ: ‘Gilligan’s Island ‘ – really Wadrick!? You’re getting a coconut phone for Christmas this year! I too have tuned into LOST since the pilot. To me, the promo stuff was reminiscent of film trailers over the standard TV show promos – and that level of quality was one reason I decided to give the mysterious island my time. Watching “an extra” sucked into the turbine of the plane wreckage, as Jack advised to move away from it, certainly left an impression.
WADRICK: Yeah, death by turbine! Maybe Gilligan’s Island was the wrong example, but I sure do want that coconut phone! (continue reading…)

Great Fan DHARMA Video
by Erin on Mar.07, 2010, under About Fans, By Fans, For Fans, Lost Videos
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!

@Loster21’s Tweets O’ the Day Sundown Reactions Edition
by Erin on Mar.05, 2010, under About Fans, By Fans, For Fans, Twitterings
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!

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!
