[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.
Maybe only the "Good" get to wear white.
Then Hurley would look like the dot in the middle of the yang symbol.
Hee.
Also, Sawyer's hair at this length looks funny. Something about where it flares out, makes his jaw look thicker than it is or something. Not that I am the sort of person to complain about any long hair on any guy, but still. Funny.
Rachel Weisz's film director fiance Darren Aronofsky is such a huge fan of hit TV drama Lost - he has signed up to direct an episode. The Requiem For A Dream director made a call to the desert island show's bosses to ask if he could head an episode, and was thrilled when they agreed. Aronofsky's episode will be broadcast in the US in May.

They really need to have a staff of chauffeurs for that cast. Whoa.
The 90 in a 35 zone should have gotten her license revoked.
No kidding. The X in a 55 zone ones don't bother me. I routinely go 70+ on the interstate, despite the 55mph speed limit. But speeding that grievously in a 35 zone is a fatal accident (for the driver, another car or a pedestrian) waiting to happen.
I agree. I go 80 on the freeway all the time, but not in 35 MPH zones!
How did I end up in this thread? Anyway, I don't know Hawaii's roads, but I routinely used to drive 70 in a 35 on mountain roads. On the straightaways. So it isn't inconceivable to me that you could do that without endangering life and limb. Now the rest of the repeat-offender and dwi and not getting a driver stuff is just stupid.
I don't think there are straightaways in Hawaii. Heh. I mean, you can only go straight for so long before you run into a mountain or an ocean.
Guess who are the Entertainment Weekly "Entertainers of the Year"? That's right, the cast of Lost!!
On July 7, 2005, Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse arrived at ABC to present their second-season vision for the network's rookie sensation. They should have been brimming with confidence: In a few short months, Lost had become the biggest cult breakout since The X-Files. Instead, the producers were twitching with anxiety. For the first time, they would be sharing with ABC the answer to Lost's most tantalizing riddle — the contents of a glowing air lock, inexplicably buried on an island teeming with inexplicable things. Since May's cliff-hanger finale, which ended with plane-crash survivors Jack (Matthew Fox) and Locke (Terry O'Quinn) peering into this Pandora's box, Lost's brain trust had been constructing a backstory for the Hatch that was so complex and dense, it would require a three-minute orientation film to explain it to viewers. There was no plan B. If ABC didn't like it, says Lindelof, ''we would have been completely [screwed].'' The meeting, according to producers, went something like this:
''So: There's a guy in the Hatch.''
''Okay.''
''Every 108 minutes, he's got to input this code into a computer.''
''…Okay. Why?''
''He's not quite sure.''
''What happens if he doesn't input the code?''
''That's a good question,'' they said. ''We think it would be interesting to find out.''
Fortunately, ABC thought so too.
Since September, everybody's instincts have been rewarded: Viewership has risen in season 2 — 17.8 million, up from last season's 15.9 average — and Emmy voters crowned Lost TV's best drama, unprecedented kudos for a serialized show with a geeky pedigree. Even Lindelof is perplexed by the show's success: ''For many reasons, this thing should not work.'' But it does — ingeniously and poignantly — and for that, EW has chosen the cast of Lost as our Entertainer of the Year.
Parsing Lost's brilliance is tricky, given how its virtues are intricately interlaced — meaty mysteries, woven into intense human drama, imbued with Big Ideas, packaged in a sprawling, time-toggling narrative. Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams — sidelined from the series for most of 2005 due to the directing demands of Mission: Impossible 3 — credits ABC for allowing the show's writers to let their freak flag fly. ''The luck of Lost is that out of the gate, it did the kind of numbers that gave us the freedom to do whatever we wanted,'' he says.
Lost has used that license to create not only a noodle-cooking mythology but a polyglot of unique characters — damaged souls fumbling for enlightenment and redemption in the damnedest of places — played by the best ensemble cast on television. Sawyer (Josh Holloway), the tragedy-bruised criminal. Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim), the struggling, culture-shocked lovers. Michael (Harold Perrineau), the flawed but tireless father. Hurley (Jorge Garcia), the Numbers-cursed cosmic joke. ''We spend more time on character than anything else,'' says Lindelof. ''The show has become this big scavenger hunt for clues — but it's the characters that activate that story for viewers.''
Yet one of Lost's most admirable characteristics is a bold willingness to mess with its own dynamics. Obviously, there is the whole killing people thing — young and sexy people, no less. (Boone and Shannon: May you rest in semi-incestuous peace.) More potentially disruptive was the introduction this season of a separate group of survivors, ''the Tailies,'' led by haunted cop Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez) and charismatic enigma Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).
But the gamble has infused Lost with new possibilities. ''What we as a cast went through that first season mirrored what you saw on screen: people with no preexisting history, thrown together on an island, becoming a tight-knit bunch in the course of trying to make sense of this weird world,'' says Fox. ''Then, (continued...)
