End Date? 2010
Sunday, May 13, 2007
It's been reported that "Lost" will end in 2010.
Here's the breakdown of the structure for the following years:
- Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
- Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
- Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
"...with the answer-filled season finale May 23, viewers 'will begin to get an idea of what that design will be, and it will not be at all what they expect.'"
"the last five minutes of (this month's) finale are going to seal our fate."
There are pros and cons, but overall this will end up being a good decision. If they revert to the 9:00 slot, "Lost" is set for the next three years.

Lost: The Answers
Sunday, May 06, 2007
"It's that time again. In anticipation of the Lost season finale, a special called Lost: The Answers is scheduled to air twice this month.
The special will be similar to Lost: Survivor Guide, a clip show that aired before the winter premiere. Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse will co-host the show, which will "recap the secrets that have been revealed, as well as those that remain unanswered."
The special will air on May 17th at 10PM ET and May 23 at 8PM ET on ABC.

More news...
Here's an article I found about the recent decline in viewership: Click here
Should "Lost" fans be worried? No. Personally, I don't think "Lost" ever lost its quality...(Ofcourse I'd say that, I own a "Lost" blog) The change to the 10:00 timeslot may have been a bad decision, but in the this day and age, viewers have no problem adapting to it with DVRS and iTunes downloads. In reality, it all evens out, and everyone's watching "Lost" one way or another.

"Lost", the Video Game
Sunday, April 22, 2007
Only a few months ago, Ubisoft signed the license to create games based off the popular Lost television series.The title hasn't been announced yet and it's due out in 2008. I hope they can pull off something cool, instead of adhering to the usually mediocre quality of movie/tv show-based video games.
For months, hardly any new info on this upcoming franchise was available till now. LOST producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse confirmed that Ubisoft Montreal is indeed working on X360, PS3 and PC versions of the game.

New Google Group and Template
Sunday, April 08, 2007
Please join the new Google Group, ABC's "Lost" Talk, which I created to coincide with The Lost Fan Blog.
Check out the new template on the homepage. It's still a work in progress, but I'm surprised at how easy it was to do so far. I have just upgraded my blog so it can use the new "page elements" Blogger feature. It makes it easier for me to make quick changes to parts of the site.
Also, I plan to be more active in adding posts and updates to make the blog better.

Most Recorded Television Show
"Lost" currently leads the pack as most recorded television show:
More than 1.5 million people record the ABC series for later viewing on their TiVos or other digital recording devices each week, a practice known since the heyday of the VCR as time-shifting.
Fans choose to record "Lost" and watch it later to fit it into their schedule or rewatch it to refresh their memories and explore hidden clues in episodes, such as Walt's reverse speaking and a Dharma symbol on the shark that appears in "Adrift".
With DVRS and episodes available on iTunes or ABC's website, no episode will ever be missed.

Dozens of Fans Invade Set
Dozens of women determined to get close to the drama's male stars, including MATTHEW FOX and DOMINIC MONAGHAN, have interrupted filming and caused delays which have cost producers over $500,000 ($900,000)..."Things were a lot easier filming the first series when the cast were still largely unknown. But now some of them have a very enthusiastic fan base who will stop at nothing to get close to their idols.
There have been multiple invasions of the set thus far.

Yes, that's right. Someone is selling three unopened Apollo Candy Bars on eBay at a current price of $51.00. So far, there have been 9 bids. See for yourself.
While you're at it, pick up Josh Holloway's shirt. The money from the auction goes towards relief efforts in Darfur, Children's Defense Fund, and Cure Autism Now.

"Lost: The Board Game"
Monday, September 04, 2006
Remember LOSToply?
Although work on that project seems to have ended a while ago, "Lost" will still be available in board game form.
Lost: The Board Game is appearing in stores like Walmart and Target, as well as their online counterparts.
Here are some links you can check out for more info on this game:
I haven't had a chance to try out this game yet, but I think I'd have to wait for the Deluxe Edition:
The deluxe edition comes in a replica silver Zero Halliburton briefcase (similar to the one that Kate and Sawyer found while swimming near the waterfall) emblazoned with the Lost logo. It's not yet clear where the deluxe edition will be sold.source
Ofcourse there's also a regular version that comes inside a tin case.
