Thanks to Peter for the following.

I've been a fan of this site for awhile, as well as the ODI podcast, and of course the show Lost. I was such a fan I even went to the Lost finale broadcast at the Jimmy Kimmel show. Anyway I am part of an improv group in Los Angeles called Orpheus Roy, and I just learned much to my joy that my favorite character Hurley will be playing with us friday July 8th at IO West at 6366 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles Ca. I want to promote the show and hope that you might be able to help with that by posting it here on Dark UFO.

Terry O'Quinn joins Hawaii Five-0 Posted by DarkUFO at 6/21/2011 07:49:00 PM View Comments Labels: Terry O'Quinn, TV Appearance

Terry O’Quinn is going baaaack to the island.

In what marks the most high-profile Lost reunion since the ABC phenom signed off last year, O’Quinn is joining the cast of CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 in a pivotal recurring role.

The gig not only brings the Emmy winner back to the Aloha State, but it reunites him with Lost castmate and Five-0 regular Daniel Dae Kim.

O’Quinn will play a Navy Seal Lt. Commander who trained Alex O’Loughlin’s McGarrett in Coronado, and served with his father in Vietnam. Described as strong, stubborn and a man you want in your corner when things go south, the character holds some of the answers to the mysteries surrounding the respective murders of McGarrett’s mother and father.

Lost Actor marries 16 year old Posted by DarkUFO at 6/21/2011 08:30:00 AM View Comments Labels: Online Articles

Thanks to darq for the heads up.

Hollywood has seen its fair share of odd couplings, but this one is so out there even the newlyweds know it's a little weird.

Doug Hutchison, a character actor best known for roles in The Green Mile, Lost and The X-Files, married aspiring country singer Courtney Alexis Stodden on May 20 in Las Vegas.

He is 51. She is 16.

Is there something fishy about it? In an exclusive statement to E! News, the couple insists there's not.

With Stodden, a former beauty pageant queen (she was in the running for Miss Teen Washington USA last year), trying to position herself as a potential Nashville star, you might think there's more to the story than middle-age actor marrying pretty teenager (and that's a lot of story, itself). However, the newlyweds tell us they're just mad about each other.

"We're aware that our vast age difference is extremely controversial," the couple said through their spokeswoman.

"But we're very much in love and want to get the message out there that true love can be ageless."

What do you think?

Evangeline Lilly Joins The Hobbit Posted by b3rt4 at 6/19/2011 09:56:00 PM View Comments Labels: Evangeline Lilly, Movies

Thanks to Josh for the heads up.

Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character—the Woodland Elf, Tauriel. Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing! (No, there is no romantic connection to Legolas.) What is not a secret is how talented and compelling an actress Evangeline is; we are thrilled and excited she will be the one to bring our first true Sylvan Elf to life.

Introduction to LOST Identity by Pearson Moore Posted by b3rt4 at 6/14/2011 12:03:00 AM View Comments Labels: Books, LOST Identity, Pearson Moore

The beach scene below is the just-for-fun introduction to my second LOST book, LOST Identity, focussing on the characters of LOST. This is the introduction as it will appear in the book, minus the brand new, never-before-seen illustration by ArtGUS. As promised several months ago, LOST Identity will include several new illustrations by the master of LOST character portraiture.

I understand Dark UFO is running a contest. This is an unedited version of the introduction, so you'll want to read closely! If you read carefully, you will discover a clue to the character profiled in Chapter One. Enjoy!

ODI LOST Podcast 74 - We Have to Go Back - Pilot Episode: Jack Posted by The ODI at 6/11/2011 02:13:00 AM View Comments Labels: Jack, Pilot Episode, Podcasts, Vozzek69

Hey Everyone!
Hope you are all doing great?? So as promised we are back to do more LOST podcasts!

The whole team is back including myself, Vozzek aka Danny and of course fan favorite and Queen of LOST and rock star Karen!

So when we started chatting about what we should do for our new podcasts we threw several ideas around but one of the central themes was to look back at some of the earlier mysteries, subjects, episodes and more based on what we all now know or think we know. ;)

So we felt that we should start all the way back at Season 1 with the Pilot episode and then work our way through the seasons focusing on several topics, characters and mysteries. Not really going episode to episode in a traditional rewatch, but to tackle the major points. So it will vary with each podcast until we find some sort of set formula. Of course if you guys have thoughts, questions, ideas or topics you want us to cover we are an open book and this is your opportunity to hear our thoughts.

These new podcasts might not be as long as our traditional recap podcasts, but we are still having a bunch of fun and talking about crazy ideas. Also, we will do our best to keep it real and relate it to how the show ended.

So enough of my thoughts, we all are really excited to be doing this again and we look forward to trying to give you all some podcasts on a regular basis. I doubt it will be weekly, but maybe every couple of weeks or so. Make sure you let all of your Lostie friends know we are back and that they should subscribe again if they unsubscribed.

This new podcast was posted on iTunes last night and it already has several hundred downloads so I appreciate all of you staying loyal to LOST and our podcast. If you can not access iTunes here is a link to an audio player with a download link.

Enjoy!!

Mark Pellegrino to star in The Closer Posted by DarkUFO at 6/09/2011 07:10:00 PM View Comments Labels: Mark Pellegrino, TV Appearance

Lost's Jacob is coming to the aid of The Closer. Actor Mark Pellegrino, who also played Supernatural's Lucifer, will recur on the TNT series beginning in mid-August.

Pellegrino will play Brenda's high-powered defense attorney Gavin Baker, described by executive producer James Duff as "brisk, gay and formidable. He is ruthless in court and still manages to project an air of friendly professionalism."

Mark's character specializes in defending police officers in civil actions. Brenda will require his help after she is sued by the family of a gang member she placed in harm's way. "Though he is easy to like, Gavin is extremely dangerous to underestimate," Duff adds. "He is the only person on earth who can make Brenda hang up her cell phone."

New Video game ripping of Lost's Smoke Monster? Posted by DarkUFO at 6/06/2011 09:49:00 PM View Comments Labels: Games, Video

Thanks to Dan for the following.

A new videogame for Xbox 360 was announced today titled Fable The Journey and in its trailer not only does it seem like they have their own version of the smoke monster but to me anyway its so simila (right down to the electrical noises!) it looks like borderline plagiarism/copyright theft, that is if you can trademark a travelling cloud of smoke!

Check out the trailer for yourself and maybe post it for people to see for themselves what they make of it.

So what do you think? Blatant rip-off?
