LOST Now Online at CTV.ca
Canadian fans of LOST, hear ye, hear ye!
Y'all know that we Canadians - at least those who don't live in the US - can't watch LOST on ABC.com because we are not US residents, right? Now, we can!!!
Latest episodes of LOST, as well as of Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives, are now available online at CTV.ca. According to CTV, the latest episode for each series will be posted after its West Coast broadcast and will be available for 28 days. Also, the CTV website will also feature the last two episodes of each series before their recent hiatus (i.e. the writer's-strike-induced hiatus of five weeks, in LOST's case), episode recaps, previews, and exclusive online content, in LOST's case.
I just re-watched "The Shape of Things to Come" and it left me with the same emotions and blown mind (in the innocent sense, hehe) that last night's "live" broadcast left me with. The episode is divided into six clips. As per the above statement, the last two episodes of LOST before the five-week hiatus - "Meet Kevin Johnson" and "Ji Yeon" - are available online. You can also send either the clip URL or the episode URL to any friend, as well as bookmark or post either the clip or the episode on Facebook, Reddit, Delicious, Stumble Upon, and/or Digg.
Pretty nice, eh?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I will re-watch episode 4x09 again.

Jimmy Kimmel and TV Guide Speak with Darlton
My head is still spinning from last night's LOST episode, "The Shape of Things to Come". How's your head?
Anyway, there is a two-part interview on the TV Guide website among TV Guide, Jimmy Kimmel, Carlton Cuse, and Damon Lindelof. Apparently, Kimmel - a LOST addict himself - arrived ten minutes early and with a two-inch-thick stack of research. Wow. Did he go on every LOST fan site? That would be a lot.
In the first part of the interview published on 22 April, Kimmel opened with a question regarding the Island's healing powers. It went like this:
Even The Powers That Be were surprised at Kimmel's hardcore-fanboy-ness. Carlton quipped, "Where are the softball questions, Jimmy? What about the warm-up?"
And that is just the beginning.
In the second part published yesterday, 24 April, Kimmel asked whether or not everyone on the Island is from planet Earth. Interesting question, isn't it? Darlton's answer?
Even more interesting answer, isn't it? Or is it just me? You tell me. (Of course, there's the assumption that someone actually reads this.)
"Something Nice Back Home" - LOST's episode 4x10 - airs on 1 May 2008, at 10/9 central on ABC.

In the first part of the interview published on 22 April, Kimmel opened with a question regarding the Island's healing powers. It went like this:
The island heals some people and doesn't heal others. For instance, Ben needed an operation from Jack to beat cancer, but it seems like Sawyer gets injured every sixth episode and by the next, he's fine. Is that just a TV thing?
Even The Powers That Be were surprised at Kimmel's hardcore-fanboy-ness. Carlton quipped, "Where are the softball questions, Jimmy? What about the warm-up?"
And that is just the beginning.
In the second part published yesterday, 24 April, Kimmel asked whether or not everyone on the Island is from planet Earth. Interesting question, isn't it? Darlton's answer?
Cuse: [Long pause] Yes. That may be one of the best Lost questions we've ever been asked.
Lindelof: When you get asked questions like that, you have to be very careful how you answer.
Even more interesting answer, isn't it? Or is it just me? You tell me. (Of course, there's the assumption that someone actually reads this.)

Three-Hour Season Four Finale Event for LOST Confirmed!
It's official! And it`s so freaking FAN-TAS-TIC!!!
Kristin Dos Santos on E! Online has confirmed that there`s going to be a THREE-HOUR season finale event for LOST. Yes, we`ve now got fourteen hours of LOST this year. Woohoo!!!
So this is how things are gonna go down: the first hour of the finale will air on May 15th, then the last two-thirds of the finale will air on May 29th. One week without LOST will definitely suck, especially if the little one-week-hiatus is splitting the season finale. But I guess it`s all right, since we`re so used to hiatuses, right?
To quote her:
This is the best LOST news I have heard since the casting of Jeremy Davies, Rebecca Mader, Ken Leung, Jeff Fahey, and Lance Reddick.
*Resumes jumping up and down, and doing the happy dance*
You know what else is great about the season finale news? I am off work that week! See, I wanted to ask my boss for a week off. Then I looked at our accounting calendar and I discovered that the last week of May – the week of my birthday – is the fifth week of a five-week accounting period. So I asked my boss for the week off on the week of May 26th and she gave it to me!
Ain’t that super fantastic? This means I wouldn`t look like heck the morning after. Unlike last May 24, 2007 (the day after the Season Three finale, where Charlie died) when I looked like heck because of too much crying.
So... DarkUFO has the updated Season Four episode schedule:
I cannot wait!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go jump up and down, and pump my fist in the air. And, of course, do my weird happy dance.

To quote her:
It's official: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Steve McPherson has signed off on Lost's extraspecial 14th hour this season, which means Lost is getting a three-hour finale! The first hour airs May 15, the second and third hours will air May 29, beginning at 9 p.m. (ABC will still air the finales of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy on May 22, as expected.)
Word is there are so many big reveals the producers wanted to deliver this season that they felt anything less than a full three-hour finale would have cheated the fans. In fact, I'm hearing that the writers' draft for the second half of the finale was 80 pages long, which led all parties involved to realize these stories had to be told now. Anything else would have felt like a rip-off for the fans.

I Wish I Were Calleigh Duquesne
The recent episodes of CSI: Miami have made me very happy. It seems that my favourite pairing (Eric/Calleigh) has made some progress in their relationship.
Take a look at my favourite CSI: Miami moment so far. This was taken from episode "All In," the conclusion of Calleigh Duquesne's abduction story arc.
Gaaahhhh! That was a major "kilig" moment!
Here is my second-favourite CSI: Miami scene.
Did you see Eric Delko's face? He looked so pissed off. It's like he was sending this message to Calleigh's abductor: "I will kill you for endangering Calleigh Duquesne." Fan-tas-tic!
Oh, one more thing: remember the initial CBS promos for the return of CSI: Miami after the strike? The one where they showed Calleigh wearing a wedding veil and Eric gazing at her with the smile that only Eric Delko could give? Yeah, a major fake-out. It turned out Eric and Calleigh were just recreating the scene! Here is the scene from "You May Now Kill The Bride" anyway:
Woohoo!
On the other hand, my favourite CSI: NY pairing (Danny/Lindsay) is having a rough patch in their "relationship"! I've always thought them perfect for each other, although I haven't seen every step in the progression of their relationship. (LOST is my top priority, and Season 3 of both LOST and CSI: NY were on the same time slot - Wednesdays at 10 PM). According to the season three finale article from Wikipedia, Danny and Lindsay woke up on the pool table and a flashback showed that they slept with each other (yes, on the pool table).
(By the way, thanks to YouTube user DrBrennan for letting me use this clip.)
Which should be great for them, right? Well, in the episode "Child's Play" (4x11), the son of Danny's neighbour was killed. In his grief and guilt, he slept with his neighbour, Rikki. The morning-after was depicted in the episode "Right Next Door" (aired on 9 April 2008). In the same episode, Danny declined Lindsay's lunch-date invitation, which hurt Lindsay. As shown in the following clip, she admitted that she has fallen in love with Danny and she confessed that she was mad at herself for that. She told Danny she has to figure out how to "let that go".
Dang! Where are they gonna go from here? Is it really the end for them? I hope not.
Five days till the next CSI: NY episode (and hopefully the next installment in the Danny/Lindsay love story)!
While I'm at it... THIRTEEN DAYS till the return of LOST!

Where Are The Single Christian Older Brothers When You Need Them?
I took the Birth Order Compatibility Tool on iVillage, just for fun, while I was listening to the latest Official LOST Audio Podcast (the one the rehashes "Meet Kevin Johnson" a. k. a. episode 408).
First, I chose among being the oldest, being the middle child, being the youngest, and being the only child. Second, I chose among having at least one older brother, having at least one older sister, or having at least one older brother and one older sister. Here's my result:
Ha-ha. Conan O'Brien, eh? (I barely watch his show.)
Anyway, it's probably true. I have been attracted to guys who have younger siblings, especially if they have younger sisters. I like being cared for and protected the way they would care for and protect their little sisters. I like being showered with affection (although not too much, please). I also want a man who would bail me out if I get in trouble (just joking!). I'm used to being the baby - can I help it?
It's probably why the last one didn't work. He was the youngest and a wee bit immature. So I did miss the "kind of direction and leadership" that I "yearn for in a relationship" although it was a non-relationship (it's a long story...).
So where can I find single and Christian men who have younger sisters? (Switzerland? Italy? Spain? Portugal?) Lemme know...
P. S.
I'm not exactly looking, but who knows? (Cue the Natasha Bedingfield song from her sophomore album, N.B./Pocketful of Sunshine. Hehe...)
First, I chose among being the oldest, being the middle child, being the youngest, and being the only child. Second, I chose among having at least one older brother, having at least one older sister, or having at least one older brother and one older sister. Here's my result:
You’re equally popular with men and women, and people genuinely enjoy your company. Despite the self-doubt that occasionally clouds your mind, you’re loved and respected by family, friends and coworkers. You have an abundance of creativity, more than average drive, and ambition to spare. Sometimes, however, you feel that you have altogether too many interests and hobbies, and you wish you could focus better on just one or two that might lead to a good career. Your best match is an older brother, preferably one who has younger sisters. You like the way he takes charge in romantic situations, and you enjoy teasing and interacting with him. Middleborn guys are also good matches, especially if they have younger sisters. With lastborns, you might have tons of fun, but you’d miss the kind of direction and leadership that you yearn for in a relationship. You have the same birth order as Janet Jackson. Your best celebrity love match is Conan O’Brien.

The LOST Cast and Their Burning Questions
Imagine Elizabeth Mitchell asking Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse this:
How would Damon and Carlton answer that one? Here's their answer:
Awesome!
Surprisingly, when the LOST cast members asked Darlton their own burning questions, they were a teeny-tiny bit more forthcoming. Unsurprisingly, most of their answers weren't enough to satisfy the cast members' questions.
At least they said some things that made me look forward to the rest of the episodes this season and beyond. Especially Episode 4x08. Wink wink.
Anyway, LOST's episode 4x06 entitled "The Other Woman" (Juliet-centred, I think) airs this Thursday night at 9 PM on ABC and CTV. The enhanced version of "The Constant" will air at 8 PM on ABC, A-Channel, and SPACE.
"Why did Juliet become such a badass? Who trained her — the Others?"
How would Damon and Carlton answer that one? Here's their answer:
Carlton Cuse: I think there was probably some martial arts in New Otherton.
Damon Lindelof: She probably went out shooting with Friendly back in the day, which is why she can handle a firearm so well. But the real inspiration for Juliet being a badass was Elizabeth herself. When she read for the part, she had this huge cast on her arm and was talking about her days of kickboxing....
Carlton Cuse: And then she beat Damon up.
Awesome!

LOST To Stay on Thursday Nights?
Will Thursday nights be the best TV night when our favourite primetime shows come back?
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello reported today that ABC may keep LOST on Thursday nights starting from April, when new episodes of returning shows air. It is said that Grey's Anatomy will keep its 9/8 central timeslot, while LOST will air right after Grey's. Ugly Betty will keep its 8/7 central timeslot as well.
Not only that. Ausiello also said that ABC might keep LOST on Thursday nights for its last two seasons if everything goes well for LOST, ratings-wise.
Wow. My two favourite shows in one night! (Although I barely watched Grey's season 3, and I haven't seen a single episode of season 4.)
Personally, the best-case scenario is for ABC to cancel Dirty Sexy Money, so the network can make room for LOST on Wednesday nights. Unfortunately - for me anyway - ABC picked up Dirty Sexy Money for the 2008-2009 season. Crap.
Oh, there's one more.
Apparently, ABC wants to hold off airing Episode 8 until April. According to Ausiello's "spies" (as he calls them),
Now, what does that mean? That it has a better cliffhanger than Episode 8? Hmmm... Interesting. (I don't have enough information on Episode 6, "The Other Woman" as Lostpedia doesn't have a link for the press release yet. The page for Episode 7 has not been created on Lostpedia.)
Anyway, ABC can move LOST to any night and any time. I'm that addicted to LOST. Even if it's Saturdays at four or Mondays at nine, it's fine by me. I'll still watch LOST regardless of the time slot ABC decides for it.
I really just want the Season 4 storyline to be told completely. It's not going to be easy, but the LOST writers can do it. I know it. They're freakin' geniuses!
Of course, nothing has been set in stone. If I were a betting woman, I'd say the writers and their bosses are still trying to decide what's best for LOST Season 4 and beyond.
Stay tuned.
