Buddy TV News!

From tvguide.com:  The extended trailer from Lost's forthcoming fifth season is upon us — and those crafty folks over at ABC have created yet another mystery to add to the laundry list by flashing a subliminal message twice (at the 1:34 and 2:25 mark) within the video set to The Fray's new video for "You Found Me."

The split second image flashed is a logo for Ajira Airways which consists of a roaring tiger atop a flaming sun (and as with Oceanic, a teaser site has been created).

The trailer consists of footage for last season as well as a few select snippets from the upcoming Season 5 including Sawyer and Juliet holding hands and Desmond and Penny in bed.  See the video here.


Lost returns on Jan 31st at 9 pm ET/PT. ABC will air a recap special at 8 pm ET/PT on Jan 31st and will also air the two hour third season finale on Wed Jan 30th at 9 pm ET/PT.

ABC has announced that the airing of the third season finale next Wednesday night will be an "enhanced" airing, with the bottom third of the screen being filled with factoids, trivia, and back story to "enhance" the experience of watching a repeat. It airs at 9 pm ET/PT on Wednesday, Jan 30th. ABC will also have a recap special at 8 pm Thursday leading into the new season of Lost at 9 pm ET/PT.

Lost Online Promotion With Lost returning on Jan 31st (Thursdays at 9 pm ET/PT), ABC has been making available online Lost: Missing Pieces and has now put together "Lost in 8:15" and 8 minute, 15 second recap of the first three seasons. All are available to view at http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost

From tvweek.com: Where 'Lost' Is Found: Thursdays Network scheduling decisions normally are routine affairs, but plenty of media suspense has built up for this announcement: ABC's serialized hit "Lost" will return Jan. 31 at 9 p.m. That's Thursday night in the slot currently held by "Grey's Anatomy" (which has only one original episode left). "Lost," which has shut down production due to the writers strike, has eight completed episodes that reportedly conclude in a cliffhanger.

Lost's night at the Emmys was not supposed to be much. The nominations were few and fans were already upset that the show wasn't nominated in the Best Drama category. However, the Lost universe got a pleasant surprise on Sunday when Terry O'Quinn received the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of enigmatic John Locke. It was a well-deserved award, despite the surprise of it all. Plus, we have even more casting rumors for season 4.

Lost is still months away from returning to our screens, but there's beginning to be some news trickling in. And, by news, we mean rumors. The Lost rumors are far more abundant these days than the actual news, but what can you expect? Things need to be kept secret. Also, we have some info about the upcoming Lost Season 3 DVD.

Is Lost moving to Mondays? The rumor mill is churning, and that’s the way the winds seem to be blowing, if ABC has the cojones to pull off a big night switch for one of its marquee shows. Also, every Lost fan has pondered the question over and over in his or her head: How exactly will Lost end? It's a loaded query and the Internet is filled with speculation about how the beloved series will bow out in 2010. We take a look at that question this week on BuddyTV with some speculation of our own. Also, who's suffering from Lost withdrawal this month? We reflect on how long the five months between now and Lost's season 4 premiere are going to seem.

From Yahoo News:

ABC details final three "Lost" seasons By Nellie Andreeva Mon May 7, 6:25 AM ET LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC has set an end date for "Lost."
The Emmy-winning adventure series will run for 48 more episodes over three seasons. Each season will consist of 16 episodes, which will air uninterrupted.
"Lost" executive producers/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who have been vocal about setting up an endgame for the show, have signed on to stay for the remainder of the series' run. Their separate new eight-figure deals with "Lost" producer ABC TV Studio include their services on the show as well as multiyear development pacts set to kick in when "Lost" bows out during the 2009-10 season.
"Due to the unique nature of 'Lost,' we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout and to give the audience the payoff they deserve," ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson said.
Lindelof said having the end point in sight was "incredibly liberating. Like we've been running a marathon and we actually know where the finish line is for the first time."
Lindelof and Cuse said they've had "a road map for the series with all the major mythological milestones and the ending in place" for a while.
"What we didn't know was how long we had to play the story out," Cuse said. "By defining the endpoint we can now really map out the rest of the series in confidence."
There will be some puzzle play, too.
"We sort of view "Lost" as a mosaic," Cuse said. "Now there are only 48 more tiles that go into that mosaic, and we're figuring out, along with all the other writers, exactly where they all go."
In January, Lindelof and Cuse said that they envisioned the endpoint for "Lost" around episode 100. The agreement with ABC will bring the total number of episodes to 120.
Lindelof wrote the pilot for "Lost" with fellow executive producer J.J. Abrams, and Cuse joined the series in October 2004 shortly after the show debuted to big numbers.
In addition to its instant commercial success and large following, "Lost" has enjoyed strong critical acclaim, capped by a best drama series Emmy in 2005 and best drama series Golden Globe in 2006.
While the show's ratings have softened this season -- it is averaging 15.1 million viewers to date -- it is the most recorded show on TV, gaining 18% more viewers through DVR viewing. It is also a popular draw for streaming replays on ABC.com, iTunes downloads and DVDs.

LOST's Season Three Cliff Hanger Will Center Around...

At the end of LOST's first season, young Walt was kidnapped at sea while Jack (Matthew Fox), Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Kate (Evangeline Lilly), and Hurley (Jorge Garcia) peered into the mysterious depths of the newly blasted-open hatch. Season two of LOST took the excitement to a whole new level as Sawyer (Josh Holloway), Jack, and Kate were abducted by the mysterious 'Others', while the hatch went into melt down mode, and who can forget the kicker with those mysterious dudes shivering in some arctic tundra somewhere, waiting for, and receiving, a signal that apparently gave away the location of the island. With season three's finale merely a couple of months away, speculation over what the LOST producers might have in store to top all of this is already become the buzz of discussion boards from coast to coast. One detail recently slipped out in the official LOST magazine that is sure to narrow down that speculation considerably.

The recent issue of LOST magazine has actually revealed who the big twist will be centered on. The LOST creative staff has an age old tradition of naming their big end of season twists. For the past two seasons, they have gone with the name of Jewish bread products to name the twists, this year they broke that tradition nick-naming the big secret 'The Snake in the Mailbox'. This revelation came from co-show runners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse in a podcast released through ABC earlier this season.

In the magazine, co-executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, are discussing an unprecedented third Jack flashback. Whether or not the entire flashback belongs to Jack or not, is unknown, but in discussing it they let slip that Jack is at the center of 'The Snake in the Mailbox'.

"...we haven't been this excited since we decided at the end of season one that Walt would be taken. This is Top Secret. It's so secret that there's a codename -- 'The Snake in the Mailbox'."

And so, what started as a discussion about a particular character's flashback inadvertently becomes confirmation that this season's major twist will, in fact, center around that character in particular. Now the big question is, after having spent some quality time with the others, having tattoos that say 'he walks among them but isn't one of them', and the looming revelation that he is Claire's brother, is there enough information to begin to infer what this mega twist might be about? Oh and don't forget the many time travel hits.

Lost Fans React Unexpectedly to a Double Death

by Shawna Malcom

Even in death, Lost's most reviled castaways can't get any peace. In the March 28th episode, Nikki (Kiele Sanchez) and Paolo (Rodrigo Santoro) — who were clumsily introduced at the beginning of season three and never forgiven for it — were revealed to be diamond-grubbing murderers who, in one of the series' darkest twists to date, were paralyzed by spider bites and unwittingly buried alive by show heroes Sawyer and Hurley. Response to the episode proved bitterly divided, with viewers and online bloggers falling into two distinctly polarized camps: Those who felt the episode was an unwelcome disruption to the show's main storyline; and those who felt it was a clever acknowledgment of fan frustration that amounted to, as Hurley said, "one of the most awesome hours of television ever." (Among the episode's many inside jokes: Sawyer's "Who the hell's Nikki?" crack, and Nikki's plea to Paolo upon seeing dead step-siblings Shannon and Boone: "Promise me we'll never end up like them.)

For their part, producers say they expected the episode to be "good watercooler" fodder. "People hated the characters before they even opened their mouths because it felt like they were crashing the party," says executive producer Damon Lindelof. "The easiest thing would've been to forget they ever happened, like the cougar on [the second season of] 24. But that's not Lost."

Instead, he and fellow show-runner Carlton Cuse decided to craft an episode that would serve as a rejoinder to the character criticism. "The audience rebelled against Nikki and Paolo [because] we introduced them in a way that they were supposed to believe they had been there all along," Lindelof says. "So our response was, 'Well, let's show the audience that they have been there all along.'" The producers also felt that Sanchez and Santoro deserved a shot at redeeming  themselves. "Rodrigo and Kiele are talented actors who were being underutilized," Lindelof says. "They deserved their chance at bat."

While viewers have questioned whether the duo is actually done for, producers insist Nikki and Paolo won't dig their way out of this one. In fact, Santoro is already busy with film commitments in his native Brazil, and Sanchez is shooting an ABC pilot, Football Wives, which is under consideration for the network's fall schedule.

As for naysayers' claim that the episode was "filler," Cuse hints that Nikki and Paolo's fates may be a sign of what's to come: "In the progression that started with Eko's death [earlier this season], there's a sense that the island ultimately is collecting the souls of people who may not be redeemable."

Lost Star Andrews Balls to the Wall with Tarantino’s Zombies

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Chappie Naveen Andrews thought TV to film a class jump till he found himself knee-deep in pulp.

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 3/29/07 – Though his parents are from India, Naveen Andrews grew up in England and admits his countrymen can be rather snobby when it comes to films. In fact, the first time Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez showed him some films in the Grindhouse genre, Andrews couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“I had to be sent to Quentin’s house for this education and was forced to watch these awful and, I thought, abysmal films,” Andrews told Hollywood Today. “They were terribly acted and really cheaply made with scenes missing. There was an English actor who was kind of a doctor scientist chap and you could see the poor chap was struggling to get through the film. You could imagine him taking nips from a whiskey bottle between takes and you felt sorry for him.”

While the films appalled him, Andrews said both Tarantino and Rodriguez found them “incredibly amusing and were laughing like maniacs”. Taking their lead, no doubt, Andrews managed to get off his cinematic high horse and get into his role of Abby in the “Planet Terror” portion of “Grindhouse.”

The highlight of working on the film? Shooting zombies. of course. Andrews said, “I remember the zombies were covered in sort of special liquid that when you fired at them they would explode in front of you but continue to burn. That was a bit of a thrill.”And Andrews even remembered to keep a couple of keepsakes from the set. “My character
collects body parts and displays them in glass jars. The only thing I kept was the balls and I gave them to my 15 year-old son,” Andrews said.“Grindhouse” opens April 6. Andrews can also be seen in “The Brave One” alongside Terrence Howard and Jodie Foster. “Brave One” centers on a woman who tries to recover from a brutal attack by seeking vengeance. It hits theaters September 14.

Lily hated being flight attendant
Malaysia Sun
Thursday 29th March, 2007
(IANS)

'Lost' actress Evangeline Lily hated being a flight attendant even though it was for a very short time and says it was the 'worst job' she ever had.

Lily says she hated the job many women envy and left it after just a month.

Contactmusic.com quoted her as saying: 'That job has no redeeming qualities. I didn't like the people. I didn't like the destinations. I didn't like the recycled air, the crappy food. (Or) the fact that they tell you, before you start your job, to buy your shoes two sizes too big because your feet swell.'
