1. How long have you been watching Lost? If you’ve been watching since the Pilot, can you remember your initial reaction to it?
My very first introduction to the show was accidental; I had downloaded an episode for the show while in search of (I think) a Cold Case episode. Much to my confusion, I saw Sayid trekking through the jungle, and I guess I had probably downloaded season one’s Solitary. I ignored this, and only about a year later did Lost appear on UK screens.

I remembered originally downloading the show, and I guess for some reason I had a negative association with it, however I found myself watching the pilot episode on TV, and I thought it was pretty cool. I then sought out the entire first season and watched the episodes in about the space of two or three days, quickly surpassing the rate at which they were being shown on TV over here. Each episode was better than the last, and it was probably the finest example of television I had ever seen.

No spoiler’s in either video, except for the episode title for 6×08.

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…)

So, windows media are harder for me to work with than… Uh… ANY other media. So, yeah. I’ve been workin’ on it. ANYWAY. Here’s an interview with Allie aka @countingtofive from the blog epic flail.

Today on the LOSTBlog.com’s Interview, we put the 16 questions we ask everyone to Michela Velasco of All of Us Are LOST, home to some of the web’s most concise LOST recaps, and LOST Sidesteps, on which Michela posts fantastic fan art, including awesome Twitter backgrounds.

Q: How long have you been watching Lost? If you’ve been watching since the pilot, can you remember your initial reaction to it?

A: Not long. I started watching a few weeks before the premiere of the fourth season, and finished all the episodes in time for the season four finale.  So “There’s No Place Like Home” was the first episode I ever saw live. (continue reading…)

We’re getting the week off to a great start by putting our 16 questions to Paul Burrows of Room 23: animator, artists and avid LOST fan. Visit Paul’s Room 23 site here, shop his Room 23 store here or follow him on Twitter.

Q: How long have you been watching Lost? If you’ve been watching since the pilot, can you remember your initial reaction to it?

A: Back when Lost started I was watching Smallville and Star Trek Enterprise and Smallville was on the same night and time as Lost. I saw the trailer and thought man that’s awesome! But I didn’t want to add another show to my list. (That sounds funny now that I think of comparing Lost to those two shows.) But the next Summer I noticed that reruns of Season 1 were running at 10pm and so I decided to try it out and man was it awesome! They ran most of the episodes and I rented the DVDs to pick up episodes they skipped. (continue reading…)

Follow Jon on Twitter or read his LOSTBlog posts here.

Q: How long have you been watching Lost? If you’ve been watching since the pilot, can you remember your initial reaction to it?

A: Since the Sunday after the premiere.  I missed the first episode on Wednesday night, but caught it on Sunday re-air, and haven’t missed an episode yet.  I usually watch an episode at least twice the night it comes out, and then again in the morning to recap/theorize on my old blogs. My initial reaction was, this is good, but can it last?  I mean they’re on an Island, and Castaway was a great movie, but kinda slogged along there in the middle. (continue reading…)

Q: How long have you been watching Lost? If you’ve been watching since the pilot, can you remember your initial reaction to it?

A: I’m a watch-since-the-pilot-er.  If I ever did a tattoo, that would be a cool one – 09/22/04 . I remember really looking forward to seeing it after reading about it in TVGuide, and was completely glued to the tv from the first seconds.  I think “Wow” and “Wait – what?!” and “I am SO watching this show!” were my initial reactions.

From an interview with Maria Elena Fernandez (@writerchica), Carlton and Damon (aka Darlton, though Damon would rather have letter parity, according to the podcasts) spill the beans on how this awesome show running team got started after, “J.J. ditched” Damon.  Watch the whole thing.

Writing #666 next Alex Federman’s (@alxf9) name along the top of the LOSTblog cave, here is the promised interview with the author of our 666th comment.

1. How long have you been watching Lost? If you’ve been watching since the pilot, can you remember your initial reaction to it?
   

   I started watching Lost in the middle of the third season, and caught up during the Season 4 hiatus.  I wish I had watched from the beginning, but I feel like I remember way more about the early seasons than most of my friends.  Though that could also be from obsessive Lostpedia-ing after I watched each episode.

2. How did Lost get its polar bear claws into you? What about it got you hooked?
   

   I heard my cousins talking about the show, was completely confused, but really interested to find out what was going on.
