LOST 9 on Top 10 Shows of Decade from Hollywood Reporter

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:04:00 +0000

9. LOST - ABC, 2004-present

Part adventure, part mystery and part sci-fi, "Lost" defies convenient characterization. Supposedly conceived as a blend of "Lord of the Flies," "Survivor," "Gilligan's Island" and "Cast Away," the series developed a unique mythology and an unconventional rhythm that mixed stories of the present with those from the past and future. Creators Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof created one of TV's biggest casts, then made each character utterly fascinating.

Damon Lindelof Article on Season 6 Promotion and Lost University

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:26:00 +0000

Thanks to Kevin for the heads up on this article from Damon.

Damon Lindelof Article on Season 6 Promotion and Lost University

Nrama: Are you in the home stretch of Lost right now?
Lindelof: It doesn't quite feel like the home...in the grand scheme of things, we have nine more episodes to write, having written a hundred and, you know, ten episodes at this point, it's relatively the home stretch, but it feels like we're in the weeds as they say in the TV business.

Nrama: Is it true that they're not going to show any previews before the season starts?
Lindelof: That is the marketing strategy that we are trying to impose upon our masters. Well, I can't unequivocally say that we'll be able to hold the embargo up until the actual premiere, but it's pretty cool that we're not showing anything as late as November, so we'll see...I think once the show starts, once we're back on, then we'll start showing people what we're up to, but I think even a single scene from the show would tip what it is we're doing this year. What it is we're doing this year is different from what we've done in other years.

Nrama: You've said you're done with time travel. The whole season of Lost and Star Trek, you're done with time travel.
Lindelof: I was just being cranky. [laughs] No, between Trek and Lost, you know, the amount of times that I said, 'paradox' in a given day was way more than anybody should ever say, 'paradox' in a given day. So I think that, Lost wouldn't be Lost if the idea of time travel, and by that I mean, the show jumps around in time, it's non-linear story telling, you kind of have to do flashes of light and dropping into World War II...that stuff we did in season five, and it was a lot of fun. And thank god we got out without causing any major paradoxes.

One of the great things about the last season of the show is that a lot of the writers are beginning to feel the way that we felt in season one. The idea of we're kind of returning to the same kind of storytelling that kind of put us on the map in the first place, and resolving some of these mysteries that people have been...this has got to be a record for how much patience people have. But the idea that we're trying to answer some of these questions, you know, create this incredible nostalgia, especially when you're doing it through the characters. And the actors who were there in the very beginning. So it's pretty cool. Theoretically.

Nrama: You talked about resolving Lost mysteries. Will one or two remain unresolved for people to debate ever after?
Lindelof: I think that there are some Lost mysteries that we're not even aware are mysteries. That's the thing. People ask us questions and I'm like, 'What are you talking about?' Like, 'Are we ever going to find out who murdered Scott?' And I was like, 'Ethan murdered him.' And they're like, 'Well, but did he?' I'm like, 'Yes! Yes he did!' So for the mysteries that we acknowledge as mysteries, they will be answered. But then there are mysteries that should never be solved. Then there are things like the midichlorian issue, which is essentially, was anyone really saying, 'How does the Force work?' You know? We just sort of accepted that it works. So I think that there are some mysteries like, 'Why is the island and island?' that aren't mysteries to me, because that's what it is.

Nrama: Now I've been told to ask you about something on the Season 5 Blu-ray called, “Lost University”.
Lindelof: Our guys have cooked up, I think, a really cool course. There are certain areas, like Physics, where you can really educate yourself looking at the show and prepare yourself for what's to come. We've always looked at Lost as a potentially collegiate experience, which is to say, if you want to get your masters degree backwards and forwards...but you can just sort of like, cruise through and get your B.A. And I think people are now starting their own fraternities and sororities in Lost U but once you get the DVD and go online and you sign up for some courses, hopefully the show will make a little more sense than it does now. We acknowledge that it's not the easiest thing to watch in the world.

Nrama: So there will be some hints about the next season in there?
Lindelof: In “Lost University”? Hints...I think there will be sort of a, 'You might want to go back and review this.' It's sort of like when a teacher tells you, 'There might be a pop quiz tomorrow, and if there is, you might want to read chapters nine, ten and twelve.' It's going to be that kind of experience, I hope.

ODI LOST Podcast Update!!

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:35:00 +0000

Hey All,
I know it has been a while, but yes we are still alive! Thanks to everyone that has emailed us, commented or checked via Twitter as to when a new podcast will be up and ready to go?!?

If you are one of those people you have gotten my reply that we have a couple of them recorded and just need time to edit them. Unfortunately the time to edit takes a bit longer than the time I have had recently.

Yes the site is still active, but the fact is it takes several hours to edit and trim our podcast so you get the best possible podcast we can currently put out.

Why do I have less time all of a sudden? Well basically because of the economic times I have had to put more time into my work and I have taken on some extra projects.

One of those projects was a re-design of The ODI site. The main change to the look is done, but it is a work in progress and one element we are adding to the site is creating a stand alone podcast page!! This was some thing many of you requested so we are in the process of doing that, but for now there is at least a tab in the top menu bar you can click to find all of the previous podcasts.

Eventually that podcast page will be linked from that tab. The new page hopefully will have some other features we are looking into and will also include podcasts on other subjects and shows! Some of you might already know that I have started a Weekly Sports Podcast with another fellow LOST fan Mister Payne and we have been Tweeting about it for the last several weeks.

So if you are a sports fan you can head to www.nopaynenoglory.com or click here to subscribe via iTunes.

Now besides all these good things, as promised we will still be putting out LOST podcasts and as I mentioned above we do have two podcasts already recorded from the last couple of months and will be recording a third tomorrow.

Here is a breakdown of what you should expect from us soon:

1) Comic Con Recap, yes maybe a bit out dated, but I talk about my experience this year, meeting fellow LOST fans, going to the panels and missing my podcast partners. Karen, Vozzek and I also provide you with our thoughts on this year's LOST Panel, the Comic Con Viral videos and talk a little about Season 6

2) Karen and I decided to bring on another special guest in LOST recapper Erika Olsen from LongLiveLocke.com . We have never chatted with her before and Vozzek joined us to make for a very interesting podcast and round table of all things LOST.

3) Tomorrow Karen and I will be recording a podcast with Billy Ray Gaillon, who plays the recurring character Randy Nations aka Locke's Box Company Boss and Hurley's Mr. Cluck's employee. We are planning to chat with him about what he is currently working on, his role on LOST and more!

If you have any questions for him, please feel to leave a comment or email us at: mrtheodi@gmail.com

Also you can find a ton of info about Billy Ray on Lostpedia here: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Billy_Ray_Gallion

Well that is it for now and once again thanks for all the patience and I promise to get you guys some podcasts soon to help you through the last few months of this hiatus!!

Only TWO months left until Season 6!!

Namaste

Elizabeth Mitchell Discusses Being Green

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:04:00 +0000

Here is a small snippet from a new Elizabeth Mitchell Interview where she talks about how she feels it is easy to be Green.

Thanks to Holly Greenwood from Greenwala.com once again for the heads up.

NOTE: The article discusses some spoilers about her character Juliet, but nothing new.

Elizabeth Mitchell's character is a composite that didn't exist in the original V, "So I've been given a little bit of a gift in not having to follow in any footsteps," said the actress, who lives in eco-friendly Seattle when not shooting the series in Vancouver. "My husband and I share one car, we ride our bikes, we recycle, I buy things fresh from the market, where I bring my own bags. It's just what everybody does. It's very easy to be green.
