[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Art Crawl!!!

Was it cop? I thought it was con. . . but if it was cop, maybe it was referring to Sayid.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

The funny thing is that Clare isn't pregnant. Perhaps they couldn't find a suitable floaty maternity dress?

[insert something funny here]

I love these promos. They have a great WTF?!?! sense to them, which I think goes nicely with the general WTF?!?!? sense of much of the show.

The funny thing is that Clare isn't pregnant. Perhaps they couldn't find a suitable floaty maternity dress?

They probably felt it wouldn't look fancy/arty enough.

Also, having Claire appear as pregnant could be considered a bit spoilery... why should we Brits be denied that "OOH PREGNANT WOMAN!" moment from the Pilot, eh?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

NPR said it's Josh Holloway's birthday today. IIRC they said 36.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't think Jack is the saint.

I think Claire is.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I don't think Jack is the saint.

I think Claire is.

Nah, it's George Sanders, Roger Moore or possibly Val Kilmer.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I have a rule where you're not allowed to be a martyr unless you go willingly to your death. And not in that "Please let me die of my pneumothorax than of violent exsanguination from the leg, thank you very much" way.

We do not reward clumsy people with martyrdom, or else the Catholic pantheon of saints would be really, really enormous.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

after viewing the promos, I came away with one conclusion:

Hurley needs a love interest.

That ad has undone all my good work pimping the show. The show has been on in Ireland for about six weeks now, and people haven't really been watching it, or they'd watch one or two episodes, get bored and not go back. So I've been telling people to catch the Channel Four episodes instead of going back to RTE because they won't know what's going on. And now pretty much every one I know hates those ads with a passion and refuses to watch the show at all.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Hated them . huh. I like my tv show, and movie ads to be somewhat ambiguoous. ( not product ads - I want to know what they are talking about). But then , I want a story. even a tiny story. So I don't want to know everything.

here is what I get from watching the add.

Plane crash

beach

People - some are oddly happy, some are terribly sad . some might even be dead. and who is with who - well. we'll see. Just enough to make me pay attention to the print.
