Carlton Cuse Article - So ‘Lost’ Is Over: Now What’s to Be Found Posted by DarkUFO at 1/28/2011 10:29:00 PM View Comments Labels: Carlton Cuse, Online Articles

Thanks to Samuel for the heads up.

LAST summer I went hiking with my teenage daughter in the Swiss Alps. On the first day we left the small village of Wengen and climbed above the timberline to a mountain outpost, Kleine Scheidegg, where we stopped to catch our breath. As I was drinking some water and taking in the awesome panorama, I noticed a hiker approaching. He was bearded and sunburned, wearing a kerosene-stained Swiss mountaineering pack and using trekking poles. I thought he was going to warn us of some danger. Instead he walked up to me and in German-accented English asked, “Are you Carlton Cuse, from ‘Lost’?” Startled, I answered, “Yes.”

Then he said, “Why did you not explain the polar bear?” As he detailed his own theory of how polar bears ended up in a tropical jungle on “Lost,” my daughter rolled her eyes. Even here in this remote spot I could not escape the last six years of my life. I had spent that time working an average of 80 hours a week writing and producing a TV show. After “Lost” ended last May, the first thing I wanted to do was go someplace far away and clear my brain. But I quickly discovered there was a big difference between getting away and leaving the show behind.

Terry O'Quinn & Michael Emerson Project Put On The Backburner Posted by b3rt4 at 1/22/2011 01:18:00 PM View Comments Labels: JJ Abrams, Michael Emerson, Terry O'Quinn

Thanks to Omar for the heads up.

Meanwhile, the J.J. Abrams produced Odd Jobs is being put on the backburner and will be looked at as a potential project for the next pilot season. Odd Jobs would re-team Lost stars Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson, in the story of two retired black-ops agents. Deadline notes that the script to that project, by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec (whose collaborations with Abrams include Alias and the upcoming Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol) came in very late this pilot season.

Thanks to Scott for the following.

I'm a longtime toy collector and the founder of MegoMuseum.com, and since these figures are 1970's "Mego style" and I'm a huge Lost fan I've made it my mission to get the word out to our now scattered Lost community. I am not affiliated with the toy manufacturer, BifBangPow Toys, I am a fan who wants them to succeed so they will make more figures.

Michael Emerson to Guest on Parenthood Posted by DarkUFO at 1/15/2011 11:21:00 AM View Comments Labels: Michael Emerson, TV Appearance

Michael Emerson, who made a name for himself as the manipulative, creepy Benjamin Linus on Lost, has lined up his next quirky TV role: EW has learned exclusively that he’ll guest star as a bug specialist on the NBC drama Parenthood. In the episode, which airs in March, Emerson plays Amazing Andy (of Amazing Andy’s Wonderful World of Bugs), a smart-yet-socially-awkward man who’s hired to entertain the children at a birthday party for Max (Max Burkholder). Like Max, the son of Kristina (Monica Potter) and Adam (Peter Krause), Andy has Asperger’s syndrome. Emerson also will star with former Lost castmate Terry O’Quinn in J.J. Abrams’ NBC drama pilot Odd Jobs.

It Pays to Be a LOST Fan - 4 LOST Numbers hit Mega Millions Posted by The ODI at 1/05/2011 12:05:00 PM View Comments Labels: The Numbers

Two tickets matched all six numbers in Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing.

The owners of those tickets, purchased in Idaho and Washington, will split the estimated $355 million jackpot.

The winning numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25 and 47, with 42 being the Mega Ball number.

It also paid to be a fan of the TV show, "Lost." Four of the six numbers drawn in the Tuesday's Mega Millions lottery matched the numbers immortalized by the Lost character Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, who hit a $114 million jackpot off them - only to be haunted by the same numbers in later episodes.

If you played Hurley's numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42), you won $150, according to a payout table on the Mega Millions website, though the same table noted that fixed prizes such as the $150 one "may be paid on a pari-mutuel basis and (be) lower than" that amount.
