Damon Lindelof werkt mee aan Star Trek
J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot won't be seen until May 8, but Paramount is already rounding up Abrams' sci-fi friends for the sequel.
Abrams' Lost cocreator Damon Lindelof will join Fringe producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman — who penned the upcoming release — to write the screenplay for the follow-up, according to Variety. Abrams will return to produce the next installment, but no decision has been made about whether he'll also direct.
Lindelof said he hopes fans don't think he and his colleagues are getting ahead of themselves. "There's obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn't even come out yet," he said. "But we're so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed."
Kurtzman is eager to get fan reaction before deciding which way to go, but the trio hopes to deliver a script by Christmas for what could be a summer 2011 release.
Orzi and Kurtzman are currently working with Lindelof on Dreamworks' Cowboys and Aliens.
Are you happy to see Lindelof join the writing team, or do you think the writers are getting ahead of themselves?

Josh Holloway wilt van z'n haar af
Josh Holloway
wants 'Lost' to end so he can shave his head.
The long-haired actor - who plays Sawyer in the US TV drama - can't wait for the long-running show to finish because he is desperate to have a mohawk hairstyle.
He said in an interview with Loaded magazine: "Oh my God! I'm looking forward to knowing what the f**k is going on, first of all. I still have no clue what the story is and where we'll end up.
"I may shave my head into a fine mohawk, like a tall one, because one of our camera operators had a beautiful mohawk for the first two years. I've always wanted one."
The 39-year-old hunk - who is expecting his first child with wife Yessica Kumala this summer - recently revealed he attracts a lot of attention from drunk mature ladies when he goes out.
He said: "It's more by older American women. They scream, 'Oh my God!' Then they grab and shake me. They've usually been drinking too many mai tais!"

Josh Holloway is het kwijt
Josh Holloway has admitted that he is looking forward to the end of Lost because he has no idea what is going on in the show.The actor, who plays Sawyer in the ongoing series, told Loaded that he has only correctly predicted one part of the ever-changing plot.
Holloway said: "Oh my God! I'm looking forward to knowing what the f**k is going on, first of all.
"The only thing I ever got right was the island moving, which was pretty good. But that's it. I don't know what the story is or where we will end up."

Interview met Sterling Beaumon (jonge Ben)
Een interview met Sterling Beaumon, hij speelt de kleine Ben in Lost.Sterling Beaumon, who plays the recurring role of young Ben Linus on ABC's Lost, told SCI FI Wire that he'll next appear—or rather be heard—in Astro Boy. Beaumon provides the voice of Sludge in the upcoming animated film, which also features the voices of Freddie Highmore, Nicolas Cage, Bill Nighy and Kristen Bell, among others.
Set for release on Oct. 23 and based on the beloved Japanese manga by Osamu Tezuka, the big-screen adaptation of Astro Boy will tell the origin story of the little robot boy with superpowers. SCI FI Wire spoke to Beaumon during a recent exclusive interview. Following are edited excerpts from the conversation.
Were you at all familiar with Astro Boy before joining the voice cast?
Beaumon: I knew nothing about Astro Boy. And I still haven't gotten the script because, once again [like with Lost], that's sort of secret. I never got the script. I just did my [lines]. Even though I have one of the lead parts, I never got the full script.
OK, but what can you tell us about Sludge?
Beaumon: Astro Boy [Highmore] is a son of Nicolas Cage's character [Dr. Tenma]. His actual son died, and he created a robot model. Sludge is Astro Boy's best friend. He does not have parents. He lives alone with his twin sister, played by Madeline Carroll, who was Annie on Lost. And he's a bit of a know-it-all.
Did you get to work with any of the other actors or did you record all of your dialogue by yourself?
Beaumon: It's just me by myself in the studio. Except one of the days I was there recording, Madeline was there, too. She wasn't in the studio with me, but she was there.
Every actor who works on an animated film talks about how it's a different style of acting, how they can go into the studio dressed down and be relaxed. What was your experience?
Beaumon: It's so much harder, because you don't have any actors to play anything off of. You can't really go off and ad lib, because most of the time people have recorded before you. So you just can't go off book.
How much more than usual are you relying on your director [David Bowers], then, to steer you in the right direction?
Beaumon: Oh, a ton. A ton. He's the only one that knows what the other people are doing.

Michelle Rodriguez verliest zelfbeheersing
AMSTERDAM -
Fast & Furious-actrice Michelle Rodriguez is op het vliegveld in Mexico een cameraploeg te lijf gegaan.
De actrice, die in een rolstoel zat en een donkere zonnebril droeg, schreeuwde naar een verslaggever dat ze ziek was. Daarna sprong ze uit haar stoel en haalde ze uit naar de crew. De mannen wisten haar klappen te ontwijken. Wel kregen ze een flink aantal scheldwoorden naar hun hoofd geslingerd.
Rodriguez (30) liet de volgende dag tijdens een persconferentie weten: "Ik ben ook maar een mens. Soms verlies ik mijn geduld en spring ik uit mijn vel." Het woord 'sorry' komt blijkbaar niet in haar woordenboek voor...

Matthew Perry (Chandler) wil zo graag bij Lost komen acteren
Friends star Matthew Perry is reportedly desperate to land a role in ABC drama Lost.
The actor, who played Chandler Bing in the sitcom from 1994 until 2004, admitted that he is a huge fan of the series but acknowledged that his fame made it impossible for him to make a realistic appearance.
"I want to be on that show so bad, but people would be like, 'What's Chandler doing on the island?' So it isn't going to happen," WENN quotes him as saying.
"But I am truly addicted to the show. I even follow the storylines online."
His latest film 17 Again opens in the UK on April 10.

ABC's Lost
The clock is ticking for "Lost" -- and ABC.
As they prep their pilots for next season, Alphabet execs know they've got one last shot at benefiting from "Lost's" still-strong -- and rabidly loyal -- audience.
Per the network and ABC Studios' agreement with "Lost" exec producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the island-hopping/time-shifting/ smoke-monstering series is due to flash into history at the end of next season.
When that deal was made in 2007, the finale was still three years off. But now that the day of reckoning has come, the Alphabet will need to take full advantage of next season's send-off.
ABC hasn't had much luck so far airing new shows behind "Lost," despite several ambitious attempts. "Invasion," "The Nine," "Traveler" and (most recently) "Life on Mars" all had their followers -- but none were able to hold on to their "Lost" lead-in, despite sharing some similar traits.
This April, ABC is trying something a little different on Wednesdays behind "Lost": the quirky police procedural "The Unusuals."
As for next season, the Alphabet has several hourlongs in the works that could potentially benefit from a "Lost" pairing: the remake of "V" and the adaptation of Robert J. Sawyer's sci-fi novel "Flash Forward," for example.
Meanwhile, now that "Lost's" days are numbered, will an anxious ABC want to wait until January before it can start hyping -- and taking advantage of -- the show's final 17 hours?
It probably wouldn't matter if "Lost" had already faded into ratings oblivion. But "Lost," while not as white-hot as it once was, is still a top-10 ratings powerhouse for ABC.
That's why if they're smart, Alphabet execs will already be plotting ways to keep "Lost" alive in the fall -- and keep fans from waiting eight agonizing months for the story to continue.
Absent original episodes, which don't come until January, the net won't garner the same kind of ratings that the show does in firstrun. But at least ABC can capitalize on the hype surrounding the series' final season -- and perhaps even recruit a few late-blooming or former viewers along the way.
Whatever the network decides to do, it would have to be enough of an event and so unique that it justifies utilizing an hour of primetime.
The most obvious idea? Putting a team of editors to work and recutting the first five seasons into an abridged, chronological version of "Lost."
Such a move would likely attract fans of the show, who are eager to see how the pieces of the puzzle all fit together in one cohesive, linear fashion. And this would also give first-time viewers, or ones who abandoned the show years ago, an entry point into enjoying the final season come spring.
An alternate idea? Edit each major character's back story into hourlong segs.
A less ambitious route would be to cherry pick pivotal episodes from the first few seasons and air them in order, although it's doubtful those episodes would post much of a rating (even if the net added in its "pop-up" info).
And if a full slate of episodes in the fall is out of the question, at the very least ABC needs to run a special or two -- including a townhall meeting featuring Lindelof and Cuse.
That's right, if it's good enough for "Survivor" or "The Bachelor," "Lost" also might benefit from an episode that featured the answers to questions from fans.Net could cut a few specials using the content that was produced for other sources -- webisodes, mobisodes, etc. -- but has never been broadcast. Cutting room floor footage, bloopers ... all of that could be potential low-cost (since it already exists) Friday or Saturday night fare.
As for the series finale in May 2010, here's hoping ABC plans a live, in-studio after show, in which Lindelof and Cuse explain what just happened. Hopefully the duo aren't planning to emulate David Chase, who disappeared for several months following "The Sopranos" finale.
After that, there will surely be some "Lost" fans mourning the loss of the show -- and wishing they could travel back in time and do it all over again. Hopefully ABC execs won't be feeling the same thing.

Artikel over J.J. Abram's Bad Robot productie
Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc, today announced an extension of its agreement with J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions to run through 2013. This continues the first-look relationship originally started with Abrams and long-time colleague, producer Bryan Burk, in July 2006.
"Today's announcement is meaningful to me in many ways," said Brad Grey, Chairman and CEO, Paramount Pictures Corporation. "Bad Robot was one of the first deals we made to help rebuild the studio. J.J. has since become part of the fabric of Paramount and we look forward to continuing our fruitful creative collaboration for many years to come."
"Bad Robot has had an incredibly fun and productive collaboration with Paramount," added Abrams. "We are all so grateful for their amazing support and creative team, and feel like we're just getting started. We are thrilled that we get to stay right where we are.
Bad Robot and Paramount first collaborated to release Cloverfield (2008), which stands as the film with the highest grossing January opening weekend ever (at $40M). The film ultimately went on to gross $170M worldwide. The duo's next upcoming release is the highly anticipated Star Trek (release date - May 8, 2009), which is directed and produced by Abrams; executive produced by Bad Robot EVP Bryan Burk and Jeffrey Chernov, and produced by Damon Lindelof; written and executive produced by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman; and starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, John Cho and Zoë Saldana. Bad Robot and Paramount also are slated to begin production of Morning Glory in June of this year, starring Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams (to be released in 2010). Abrams also directed Mission: Impossible III for the Studio.

Josh Holloway look-a-like?
Dit online artikel gaat over een man die vindt dat ie sprekend op Josh Holloway lijkt.
Area man incorrectly compares self to Josh Holloway
DAYTON, Ohio – From ruggedly handsome looks to exemplary thespian ability, area carpenter Mike Kirkbride has repeatedly and incorrectly likened himself to every aspect of television star Josh Holloway, according to friends, family and coworkers of the 33-year-old father of two.
Outside of coincidentally sporting scruffily-kept dark whiskers, every person close to Kirkbride has repeatedly told him that he has little in common with the television star. Despite negative feedback, Kirkbride insists he shares a facial structure and body type with Holloway and that many strangers approach him thinking the Dayton man to be Holloway.
“Man, people stop me all the time on the street, and they’re like, ‘Are you that guy from Lost?’” said Kirkbride, whose friends and family were unable to recall such an incident. “I tell them I’m not him, but then I usually say some Sawyer line, you know, just to make their day.”
Kirkbride has also compared his self-acclaimed dramatic deftness to that of Holloway’s, often nearly replicating lines from Holloway’s Lost character, Sawyer.
“It seems like ever since he started watching that show (Lost), he sarcastically calls everyone ‘Jack’ when he gets upset with them,” said Fred Lohman, owner of Lohman Construction, who employs Kirkbride as a general carpenter. “I watched the show once to see what he was talking about but I never saw the character that looked like him. I guess he wasn’t in that episode.”
Since viewing the first season of Lost in 2004, Kirkbride has tried to replicate as many attributes as possible of the show’s Sawyer character, most notably attempting to assign disparaging nicknames to people he interacts with on a daily basis. From referring to a new drywall contractor as “Newby McDrywall” to identifying a long-employed bricklayer as “ancient bricklayer,” Kirkbride has missed entirely the more-clever and often pop culture-referencing nicknames dished out by Holloway’s character.
“I think when he tries to call somebody a nickname like Sawyer does, he thinks it’s funnier than it is,” said fellow Lohman employee Sam Reed of Kirkbride’s portrayal of a Sawyer-like voice, which unintentionally comes across as a solid impersonation of a Texas cattle rancher. “I told Mike, ‘Look, why don’t you just shave? You’re beard doesn’t really look like [Holloway’s],’ and he just unbuttoned the top four buttons of his shirt and stormed off.”
At home, Kirkbride never misses an episode of Lost, and his wife regularly joins him. However, she has begun to grow tired of her husband’s nonstop insistence of his similarity to Sawyer.
“I like watching Lost with him, but afterwards he seems to call me ‘Kate’ a lot,” said Jill Kirkbride, Mike Kirkbride’s wife of seven years. “At first I laughed, but that was five years ago.”
Kirkbride’s remaining close friends also routinely have pointed out the many differences between Kirkbride and actor Josh Holloway, who is the subject thousands of fan-created websites dedicated to discussing his favorable appearance and ability as an actor. Kirkbride, meanwhile, is the subject of his own blog, “Sawyer look-a-like dude”, which he updates regularly with mostly fictitious stories of his interactions with fans and crudely Photoshop-edited images meant to portray him appearing in various locations with Josh Holloway.
Still, Kirkbride is not deaf to the criticisms, often trying to find similar clothing to that which Sawyer wears or showing his 68-year-old barber a picture of Holloway in order to replicate the actor’s hairstyle. Perhaps also due to unfavorable feedback regarding his attempted likening to Holloway, last fall Kirkbride, seemingly in an effort to replicate a famous feat of Holloway’s Lost character, tried to embark on a polar bear hunting trip until he found out the species was endangered and illegal to kill.

Geronimo Jackson zijn The Donkeys?
Een artikel over Dharma Lady van Geronimo Jackson.Dead Oceans Band the Donkeys in "Lost" Mystery
Here's a curious one. On the TV show "Lost", ever since the second season there's been a running thread about a mysterious 1970s band called Geronimo Jackson. In the past few years, the band's name has turned up on the show over and over, in conversation, on T-shirts, and on posters. Lostpedia has an obsessive list of references to the band on the show. In a few podcasts, the show's producers apparently suggested that Geronimo Jackson was a real but obscure California band who only released one album in the late 1970s.
Well, all of this might not actually be the case (as things tend to go with "Lost"). On a recent episode, the character Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) is heard listening to a Geronimo Jackson song called "Dharma Lady", and last week, the song appeared as a free download on iTunes. Over on the "Lost" message board Dark UFO, someone noticed that "Dharma Lady" is almost the exact same song as "Excelsior Lady" by the Donkeys. The Donkeys are a San Diego retro-rock band on Dead Oceans; they are not a mysterious 1970s band. Confusing!
So: Are the Donkeys Geronimo Jackson? A Dead Oceans publicist could neither confirm nor deny: "It seems as though it's possible that the Donkeys also existed as Geronimo Jackson in 1977. It might be possible that they were part of a Dharma Initiative experiment on time travel." Right. She also had this to say: "Geronimo Jackson is likely to appear on extras of the season five 'Lost' DVD, where they will feature the band recording 'Dharma Lady'."
If the Donkeys are, in fact, Geronimo Jackson (which sure seems pretty likely), that's a pretty big break for them, even if it does greatly increase their chances of death by smoke monster. Seems like a worthy trade-off.

Excuses van Damon en Carlton
We hadden nog maar net het bericht over de boze Rebecca Mader geplaatst, maar nu hebben we alweer excuses van Damon en Carlton gevonden."Rebecca is absolutely right and we apologize to both her and the entire fan community for screwing up the story," the pair said in a joint email. "By way of explanation, here's what happened:There were a gazillion questions about the timeline discrepancy in that young Charlotte clearly exists in 1974, but wasn't supposed to be born until 1979, per a single line of dialogue courtesy of Ben back in episode #402. When we inquired as to how this happened, the intel came back that we used Rebecca Mader's birthday, July 2, 1979 because she was actually eight years YOUNGER than the character as originally conceived/scripted. We misremembered this as having come from Rebecca herself on the set, but in fact, it came several days earlier when our continuity expert Gregg Nations pointed it out and suggested using Rebecca's actual birthday for Charlotte. And so, the mistake was OURS. Rebecca's production draft DID have the date as being 1979.
Our first mistake was the timeline gaffe, but the much more significant one was wrapping Rebecca up in this when she had nothing to do with it. Not her fault on any level. It was our bad. One hundred percent. We will say as much in a very special "Eating Crow" edition of our Podcast tomorrow. Speaking of which, what a wonderful world we live in where we can make a comment in a Podcast that triggers a response on someone's Facebook page and that triggers a mea culpa on someone else's blog. Ah, technology."

Jack Shephard meest sexy dokter op TV
Matthew Fox's character, Jack Shepard, was voted the number 1 sexiest doctor on TV. I read the article in The Herald newspaper in Ireland. The journalist's name is Vicky Shaw:
Hollywood heart-throb George Clooney has lost out to Hugh Laurie in a poll of favourite TV docs. Clooney's character Dr. Doug Ross came out fourth in a top 10 of the most fancied on screen medics, despite delighting fans with a welcome return to hospital drama ER, the show which shot him to global fame.
First place went to Matthew Fox's character Dr. Jack Shepard in the hot series Lost, followed by Dr. Sam Strachan of Holby City, who was played by Strictly Come Dancing champ Tom Chambers.
A-lister Clooney lost out to crusty Dr. Gregory House - played by Hugh Laurie who came third. The survey of 1,000 women was carried out by drinks company Yakult. More4 will broadcast the ER episode featuring the return of Clooney as Dr. Ross on May 14th at 9.00 pm. The final series of ER is currently airing on More4 and will be repeated on Channel 4 later in the spring. Here are the top 10 favourite TV doctors:
1. Dr. Jack Shepard in Lost
2. Dr. Sam Strachan in Holby City
3. Dr. Gregory House in House
4. Dr. Doug Ross in ER
5. Dr. Adam Truman in Casualty
6. Dr. John "J.D." Dorian in Scrubs
7. Dr. Mark SLaone in Diagnosis Murder
8. Dr. Derek Shepherd in Grey's Anatomy
9. Dr. Karl Kennedy in Neighbours

Michelle Rodriguez' theorieën over Lost
Een artikel en video waarin Rodriguez vertelt over haar theorieën over Lost.
Michelle Rodriguez has said she is totally stumped by TV series Lost.
The actress, who used to play Ana-Lucia in the hit series, said she has given up on speculating about the plot twists in the desert island show because she is always proved wrong.
"You know I am tired of coming up with theories, because every single time I come up with a damn theory you know, there goes [creator] JJ Abrams to pop that theory and turn it to s**t," she said.
Michelle - speaking at the premiere of her new film Fast And Furious - added: "So I don't know what to say now, I am scared that he might pop my theory again. So I am just gonna keep shut and wait for the answer. You know, patiently like the rest of the world."
As Lost hurtles towards its conclusions, Michelle may get her answers soon.

Waarom zijn er geen gelukkige koppels in Lost?
WE LOVE TV: Why can't 'Lost' let couples be happy?
One of the most touching moments ever on "Lost" was when Sun and Jin and Rose and Bernard were reunited after a long separation. Everyone had tried to convince Rose that her husband, Bernard, was dead, but she knew in her heart that he hadn't died in the plane crash and that they would be together again some day. Jin had left on the raft with Michael, Walt and Sawyer to try to get the group rescued. His wife, Sun, had no idea what had become of him or even if he was alive or dead. When the men walked into the camp on the beach and their wives saw them, it was a beautiful, joyous, emotional scene.
You don't get many moments like that on "Lost."
This week, Jack and Kate's return to the island cast a shadow on Juliet and Sawyer's relationship. All the longing glances between Jack and Juliet and Sawyer and Kate were enough to really get on my nerves. Why can't Sawyer and Juliet continue to live happily together just as they did before Jack and Kate came back on the scene? Sawyer said three years is long enough to forget a past love, but I think his actions are going to prove the exact opposite.
I say, pick your partner and stick with that person. Isn't this show complicated enough without this love rectangle? Kate has shown herself to be a smart and capable (and sometimes murderous) woman. But I think her indecision about whether she loves Jack or Sawyer or neither or both is really annoying. Let's resolve this already, so we can concentrate on the bigger mysteries that the island has to offer.
And speaking of mysteries, where or when did Daniel Faraday go? Sawyer just happened to mention that the physicist is not with them anymore. Where did he go? When did he go? How did he go? Why did he go? And what's he up to? I can't wait to find out!
I'm also curious to see how Sun, who appears to be in the year 2007, will be reunited with Jin, who is in the year 1977. Jack's dead dad, Christian, told Sun that she still has a long journey ahead of her. I don't doubt that this 30-year obstacle will be overcome. Just eager to see how it is. What do you think is in store for them?

Matthew Fox en Evangeline Lilly over Lost
Een nieuw video interview met Evangeline Lilly en Matthew Fox door Los Angeles Times.
Dit seizoen het slechtste seizoen?
Ik ben het er totaal niet mee eens maar hier is een artikel over seizoen 5 van Lost.
Bron: Film.com
Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams, who has been dividing his time doing the Star Trek movie and his Fox series Fringe, still has a magic box filled with tricks that he bought as a kid and never opened.
"It's the idea of what's inside more than what's actually there that interests me," Abrams said during a recent conversation. "You can never make anything that is as good as what someone can imagine it can be."
You do realize, I say, that you are writing TV shows for people who would rip that box open in a heartbeat with their bare teeth just to find out what's inside, right?
"I never thought about it that way," Abrams confesses.
And that's why Lost often sucks.
People have been criticizing Lost ever since it came on the air in 2004, but only lately have die-hard fans begun to question their investment. While Abrams may be all about the journey, most of us want our questions answered at the end. And try to keep the jerking to a minimum. This season has all been about the time travel element, which hasn't gone quite as well as it could have. There are too many characters, too many storylines to keep straight in our minds. I need to drag out that map of characters that shows all the one to two degrees of Kevin Bacon separation between them all and prop it up like a finals cheat sheet.
Characters like Horace keep popping up from season to season, and now we have to connect the dots. News just leaked that a major cast member would be biting the sod before the end of the season. Do we have to re-chart?
Co-creator and producer Damon Lindelof once said that the show is all about redemption, and once a person has been redeemed, they die. Producers have also said the show wasn't about time travel -- until it was this season.
This has never been a series for the short attention span crowd. The twists and turns are like doing hard-core memory and imagination workouts. But have the producers totally lost the plot? I've forgiven the writers for the whole polar bear deal that lead me to speculate that the island was really just something trapped under a dome in the middle of a snow-covered landscape like the opening panels of Chapter XI of Watchmen.
No, it was just some critter who escaped from a Dharma zoo. And that three-toed statue shown in another episode? It was just a quick reference point to the fact that the island has been around for a long time. Smoke monster? An above-average security system.
The two men helming the Lost ship right now, Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, say these last two seasons are for the fans who have stuck with the show over the years.
Well, we're midway through the penultimate season, and I have to say this whole time travel theme has me crying whiplash. I like time travel as much as the next sci-fi fan, but you need to keep some sort of logic to it all.
Right now, there are at least 5 reasons why I'm lost this season:
5. Too many new characters.
Really? Isn't that why the red shirts got cut down by flaming arrows, so we could thin the herd a little and get back to basics? Instead, we've got to keep track of even more people. Getting out my handy chart now.
4. Ben kills Locke. Again.
How many times do we have to watch Ben kill Locke, only to have him be raised again from the dead for a higher purpose?
3. Jack suddenly gets cured of his addictions when he's on the island.
Maybe this plays into how Locke can walk and why Rose no longer has cancer? If this works Lindsay Lohan or Brit Brit might want to check it out.
2. When you exit the island without the aid of a submarine or other sea craft, you get spit into the Sahara desert close to Tunisia.
Charles Widmore says he got dumped out there after his ouster from the island. Ben Linus got transported there, and later John Locke went down the wishing well and into the desert. Wait! This reminds me of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. The character Charlotte S. Lewis is the writers' homage to C.S. Lewis. Charlotte died after getting a nosebleed indicating cerebral hemorrhaging. As a child, she was warned by Faraday when he was spinning through time to never return to the island. The island is death. OK, now my head is hurting and I feel a nosebleed coming on.
1. A donkey wheel turns the island into a time tunnel.
I'll buy a lot of snake oil from this crew, but when they came up with idea of a rickety wooden wheel that somehow can move the island through time, well, that's just kooky talk. And when Locke popped it back into place to stabilize the erratic time jumping, which was like something out of Slaughterhouse Five, well, it brought a whole new meaning to the term "jiggle the handle."
So I'm asking you all: What do you think were the best and worst of this season so far? Are you ready to move on, or are things just starting to heat up?

Interview met Doug Hutchison
TV Guide had een interview met Doug Hutchison (Horace).The third time was the charm for a certain Marvel Comics vigilante when Ray Stevenson stepped into the title role in Punisher: War Zone. To mark the big and banging action pic's arrival on home video (shop for the two-disc Special Edition DVD or Blu-ray format), Doug Hutchison — who plays Loony Bin Jim, the psycho bro of master villain Jigsaw, and now appears on Lost as Horace Goodspeed — gave us a peek inside his first "graphic" experience as an actor. Plus: Hutchison shares his take on one of cinema's greatest comic-book villains, Heath Ledger's Joker.Bron: TV Guide
TVGuide.com: I have to say, I put you in that category of actors who when cast in a role, I get excited to see what they do with it.
Doug Hutchison: Oh, that's very sweet of you. Thanks for saying that.
TVGuide.com: I envision you as an actor's actor, the kind who pieces apart a role and then strives to bring an extra something to it. Fair assessment?
Hutchison: I think that would be a pretty healthy assessment. I actually shy away from roles if, because of the way they appear on the page, I feel I'm not right for them. But once my agent twists my arm or the director turns me onto a different perspective, I do find myself lending a lot of my own style to each role.
TVGuide.com: After a lot of character-y pieces that were comparatively quiet, what was it like to jump into something as big and loud as Punisher: War Zone?
Hutchison: It was kind of cool because that was a perfect example of me initially passing on the role. Even though I found it entertaining, I didn't relate to "LBJ" at all
TVGuide.com: Which is probably a good thing!
Hutchison: Yeah! [Laughs] I kept seeing something different and Steve Buscemi-esque, slithery and weasely.... But then [director] Lexie Alexander called me at home and pitched me over the phone, saying, "I'm really seeing this as a Hannibal Lecter-ish role." As soon as she said that, I had a vision for a quirky way to play it, while still bringing an essence of danger to the character.
TVGuide.com: As more and more comic-book baddies are brought to life on the big screen, does that make it harder to bring something new to the table?
Hutchison: I don't know if it's comics-related, but because I played such a plethora of villains in my career, I do find myself going, "What the heck can I do to make this different?" Punisher was fun in that regard because it is a comic and Lexie was extreme generous in allowing me and the rest of the cast to run. All of my instincts she confirmed for the most part. I wanted to shave my head? She said yes. I wanted to get progressively more and more damaged through the film, and she loved that idea. By the end of the film I'm a physical and emotional mental case.
TVGuide.com: Did the role give you a special regard for, say, what Heath Ledger did with Dark Knight's Joker?
Hutchison: Oh my god, yes. I was blown away by Ledger's performance. Punisher was such a different style from Dark Knight — it was less dark, less "real" — so I remember watching Ledger and going, "Holy s--t. He's blowing me out of the water with his interpretation."
TVGuide.com: Punisher: War Zone actually has been championed for being unabashedly "bang-bang" in a genre where our superheroes tend to get so dang cerebral. I think there's room for both.
Hutchison: I do too. Would Punisher have been a movie I saw? Probably not, because I don't gravitate toward action-type, graphic novel-esque movies. But when all was said and done, I was really proud of what we put together.
TVGuide.com: Is Ray Stevenson as physically imposing in person as he is as Punisher?
Hutchison: No, he's a sweetheart — but he certainly put in an impeccable performance as a stoic Punisher. It was a beautiful performance. Ray will talk your ear off, talk about his little boy and his wife. ... He's an extremely personable man, and talented to boot.
TVGuide.com: Before we go, I want to ask; What was your biggest take-away from being in The Green Mile?
Hutchison: Gosh, that's a good question because there was so much I took away. I've got to say, I think I was mostly humbled by the whole thing. I'd been pounding the pavement for 13 years when The Green Mile fell in my lap. So by the time I got that table read with Tom Hanks and James Cromwell and Harry Dean Stanton, I was in awe. You attempt to manifest this dream for all these years, that when it's in front of you it's surreal. Then you doubt yourself, "OK, can I actually go toe-to-toe with David Morse and Tom Hanks?" By the second or third day, those guys had made me feel like such a part of the family, I was mov
Denk mee over de bijnaam voor de laatste scenes
Alle fans kunnen een meedenken over een bijnaam voor de laatste scenes van dit seizoen.Lost executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof promised to call me as soon as they came up with a nickname for the closing — and assuredly jaw-dropping — scene of this season's finale, which is now slated for May 13.Source: TV Guide
The thing is, the boys aren't nicknaming that moment this year.
You are.
TVGuide.com has learned exclusively that in this week's official Lost podcast, posting to ABC.com on Thursday, Team Darlton will formally invite viewers to suggest a nickname for the season finale's final moment.
In seasons past, that head-scratcher has been dubbed "Bagel" (Walt is abducted by the Others!), "Challah" (Penny's research team locates the island!), "The Rattlesnake in the Mailbox" (Jack is flashing forward!) and "Frozen Donkey Wheel" (which, quite literally, Ben rotated to move the island).
The ink is barely dry on the finale script and it's at least a week from being filmed, so you'll just have to go with your gut when conjuring up a nickname.
Submissions can be directed to ABC.com/asklost, with the producers' pick being announced on ABC's March 26 podcast.
Matthew Fox geen zin meer in TV
Matthew Fox vertelt dat hij stopt op televisie na Lost.Los Angeles - Matthew Fox won't make another TV show when Lost ends.
The actor - who plays Dr Jack Shephard in the cult US series - believes his small-screen career will be over when the programme finishes at the end of season six next year.
He said: "I'm pretty sure that will be the last television thing that I will do."
Matthew believes his character has become a firm favourite with fans of the show because he isn't perfect.
He explained: "We didn't want Jack to be a classic archetype of a hero, riding in to save the day. People aren't that way. People have flaws and heroism comes from rising above those flaws."
Matthew admits his dream role would be to play Steve McQueen in a biopic.
He said: "Steve McQueen was pretty f**king cool. He was an action guy and a man of few words and he liked his roles like that."
