My Interview with CNN about Michael Emerson on Person of Interest

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:02:00 +0000

Hey Losties,
Hope you all are doing well??

Seven years ago today, most of our lives were changed with a plane crash in the pilot of LOST. At the time most of us did not know each other, most of us did not know about social media, and most of us just watched TV to just watch it.

However, our passion for LOST allowed many of us to meet online start interacting and began a revolution that changed the way TV is consumed and talked about today. I am very thankful for all of the friendships I have formed and for the opportunities that have arisen from our love for LOST.

Last week, thanks to my good friend DarkUFO and the growth of SpoilerTV, I was given an opportunity to speak with CNN to talk about Michael Emerson and his role on LOST and how it relates to his new show that starts tonight, Person of Interest on CBS.

Here is a link to the very cool write up by CNN's Geek Out blog:

LOST at SDCC2011 - New Clip and Damon n Carlton Crash EW Panel

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:28:00 +0000

So for those of you that do not know, EW had a LOST: One Year Later panel and both Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse crashed the panel! Now how they crashed was the whole unique surprise.

Over the last week or so on Twitter, Damon and Carlton have been going back and forth about something called the "Marble Rye". Of course as LOST fans know they love using code words for secret clips/scenes. So at the panel hosts our good friend Jeff Jensen and Dan Snierson, had some nice friendly banter go back and forth about whether they should reveal the clip.

At that point things got a little crazy, not to ruin the surprise check out the first clip to see what happened. The secret Marble Rye clip was eventually played and that is the second video below. It was a "deleted scene" from Season 1 with Jack and Locke but there are two other cast members we never saw before.

Enjoy!!

LOST at Comic Con 2011

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:22:00 +0000

Hey Losties,
Hope you are all doing well??

Karen, Danny and I are trying to get our schedules together so we can record another podcast for you guys and that will hopefully be soon!

In the meantime, I just wanted to let you know I will be heading to Comic Con and for those of you that will be there and missing LOST, EW will be hosting a small panel on Friday afternoon called Totally LOST.

Here are the details of the panel that will be hosted by our good friend Jeff Jensen:

3:30-4:30 Entertainment Weekly Presents...Totally LOST: One Year Later— EW's Lost gurus Jeff "Doc" Jensen and Dan "Dan" Snierson wax nostalgic about the past, perhaps with a surprise guest or two, and discuss how they're "moving on" in the wake of Lost's departure from the air a year ago. The duo will look to the future by previewing promising TV obsessions. Room 5AB

ODI LOST Podcast 74 - We Have to Go Back - Pilot Episode: Jack

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 01:07:00 +0000

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 an audio player with a download link.

Enjoy!!

NOTE: For those wondering why I changed the player to the new blue color scheme, well I am hosting the new SpoilerTV podcast where we cover several other shows and movies, but that is the color scheme there. Just FYI, Danny and Karen did join me a couple of weeks ago to chat about Game of Thrones and Fringe. So if you are into those shows, head over to SpoilerTV.com and find that podcast there!

Recording a New Podcast - UPDATE

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:54:00 +0000

Well settling in to the new house took much longer than I expected. As some of you know I began editing slowly the old podcast a couple of weeks ago.

However, as I began editing I realized how dated the thoughts were, because much of the chat was about Comic Con and other things as well. Some of you might still be interested in that stuff and maybe one day it will make it live.

I spoke with Karen and Danny and we have decided to just record a fresh new podcast that will also include our thoughts on The New Man in Charge.

This does not mean we did not record a podcast back then, we did and it is 5+ hours of audio that is filled with all sorts of stuff that is not only about the finale. As I began editing out the other stuff and keep just the finale info, I realized it was becoming a much much bigger task than I expected.

So bottomline is we are working our schedules out and hoping to record it this week and if you trust me I promise to edit it quickly and get it out to you.

Once again this might not be the news you want, but I am trying to do my best.

We miss you all, the podcast and LOST quite a bit and can't wait to have you all listen to our voices again.

Thanks to those of you that are still waiting patiently and are willing to still listen.

If there is a specific question you might want answered about the finale please feel free to leave it in the comments below and we will try to answer it when we record.

Podcast Update

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:28:00 +0000

First of all, Happy New Year Losties!

OUCH, a new year and still no podcast? Not much I can say but sorry again. I honestly feel horrible to keep you all waiting and waiting annnnd waiting.

So here is a little update.

One of the things I have been dealing with over the last several months is some financial troubles and I have been really literally been using all my time to make sure it would not get worse. However, I do have some good news. Things have slowly gotten better and if all things go well over the next week I will be moving into a new place.

Realistically, it might take me a few weeks to move in and get settled but once I do, I am making it one of my first goals in the new place to get the podcast completed.

Hope you all understand and have an awesome new year!

It Pays to Be a LOST Fan - 4 LOST Numbers hit Huge Mega Millions Jackpot

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:02:00 +0000

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.

Carlton Cuse Says New LOST Show or Movie Very Possible

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 17:14:00 +0000

Podcast Update Finally

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 21:02:00 +0000

Well it has been a few rough weeks (couple of months) for me. I appreciate each and everyone of you that have posted comments, emailed me or Karen and Danny directly to find out what is happening.

Luckily nothing too serious has happened, but I have been dealing with some personal/work/financial issues that I needed to handle. I know it is not fair to all of you that are waiting but when I have limited time to complete certain things unfortunately I need to make sure that I prioritize my day correctly.

That of course does not mean the podcast and you all are not important but I did need to make some decisions and changes. Unfortunately what I have been dealing with and working on has just taken up all of my free time that I would spend on the podcast and the site.

I am currently working for Greenwala.com and I am now the Director of Content and Community at the site and the work load has increased heavily. So much so that the site/podcast had to take a back seat. Greenwala's traffic has increased over the last several months and I am very proud to be a part of the site.

The new TV Season has started and I have had barely anytime to work on the TV section of the site posting the bare minimum. Also, besides the few posts here and there for The ODI, I have posted on the SpoilerTV Movies page where I one of the main admins and have made a promise to make sure that site is updated regularly.

Now that you are upto speed, the good news is, there are about 3 podcasts ALREADY recorded and all that is required is for me to edit them. Some have suggested that I should just post what I have and that it does not need to be edited, but that is not who I am. I am some what of a perfectionist and want to make sure that I put out a good product for you all to enjoy and listen to. Additionally, I finally have some time scheduled to start editing tonight and if all goes well the rest of the week I will be able to edit the podcasts and make one supersized podcast covering several different topics.

For those that feel I am being selfish, well there is not much I can say. It is a free podcast, Karen, Danny and myself have put a tremendous amount of time and effort for all of you out there. I know most of you understand this and it might be only a few people making such comments, but those few then need to know we are doing all of this in on our free time and when life takes away that free time, this is what happens.

Sorry this post did not come sooner, it just every day/week I really hoped I would have time to edit and it just did not happen.

I will do my best to get something out to you all soon!

Thanks again for the patience and I hope you all understand.

Namaste.

LOST - Mysteries and Answers - Complete and Final List

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:45:00 +0000

I have skimmed this list and it is very interesting. Check it out!

Thanks to DarkUFO Reader Mark for sending us the following.

After spending a rigorous amount of time watching and rewatching episodes of Lost, I compiled a complete list of mysteries and answers within the show, with episodes in which the mystery was answered cited in their explanations. At over 70 pages, this document presents, as far as I know, the most complete and organized set of mysteries, answers, and unanswered mysteries within the show on the internet.

It should be noted that answers from the "New Man in Charge" epilogue are used.

Attached is the file of the mysteries and answers of Lost, made as accurate as I could. Only things were presented as mysteries are included.

A few facts:
Season 1 has 80 total mysteries, 6 unanswered mysteries
Season 2 has 106 total mysteries, 17 unanswered mysteries
Season 3 has 101 total mysteries, 16 unanswered mysteries
Season 4 has 135 total mysteries, 28 unanswered mysteries
Season 5 has 148 total mysteries, 38 unanswered mysteries
Season 6 has 93 total mysteries, 22 unanswered mysteries
LOST, in total, had 663 total mysteries, 536 answered mysteries, and 127 unanswered mysteries. However, many of those "unanswered mysteries" may not seem significant to some, though are presented as mysteries nonetheless

You can see the complete list below. Do you agree/Disagree with some of these? Do you have different answers?

WTF: Matthew Fox Says He Has NEVER Seen an Episode of LOST!?

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 09:13:00 +0000

So if you watch the video below which is about the upcoming Emmys, he seems to just want to say he can't be objective which is I guess understandable but then says he has not seen a single episode of LOST ever!?
