Comic's Brian K. Vaughan joins Lost writers
by Santa
Comic book writer Brian K. Vaughan, best known for his extensive work for both DC and Marvel Comics, was hired by Touchstone Television to join Lost's writers as an Executive Story Editor, according to his blog and MySpace. Vaughan is known by comic fans for character development, on-target dialog, and cliffhangers, and has been recognized by numerous awards including an Eisner Award in 2005 for Best Writer for Y: The Last Man, Runaways, and Ex Machina, and was recently recognized by the Arab American National Museum for his recent original work, the graphic novel Pride of Baghdad. In his blog, Vaughan wrote:

"As I'm neither an executive nor an editor, this is really just a fancy Hollywood way of saying that I've joined the writing staff. I can't talk about much more than that, so I implore you to please stop asking me what the island is... Still, I will say that I'm insanely honored to join such an amazing group of writers... and I'm very grateful to Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse for having so much faith in me. And no, I'm absolutely not leaving comics..."

There has not yet been confirmation via an official press release from either abcmedianet.com or touchstonetvpress.com, nor a personalized VIP subforum for him at Thefuselage.com forums. Vaughan follows two other writers who also came to Lost's writing team from the comic world, Paul Dini and Jeph Loeb.

No One's Safe on Lost
Cindy White, SCI FI Wire
Josh Holloway, who stars as Sawyer on ABC's hit Lost, told SCI FI Wire that he and the rest of the cast constantly live with the knowledge that no one is untouchable on the show. "Oh, of course not," Holloway said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif. "I feel like in the current atmosphere of TV shows, they're willing to kill a main character without a problem. So that's always a possibility... I think the nature of the show and the organic way that they write, and still continue to create, is they're willing to let someone shine." Read more...

by Maira Oliveira, All Headline News
If his popular TV character gets killed off the show, Josh Holloway doesn't want fans to shed any tears over his death. Josh has revealed he wants his "Lost" character Sawyer to die in a grisly, "Braveheart-style battle."

Location, location, location: Crafting the world out of Oahu
by Katherine Nichols, Honolulu Star-Bulletin
The real inside story on Lost is how Oahu is transformed each week into sites from Africa to utopia. Despite the significant plot and character changes that occurred in the first six episodes, one element that remains the same is the resourceful transformation of Oahu into authentic-looking destinations all over the world. One could argue that creating the perfect atmosphere is the most important part of the show that viewers seldom observe. "Lost" production designer Zack Grobler and locations manager Jim Triplett envision the ideal setting for an upcoming episode while the previous one is still shooting, often pushing their workday to 15 hours. "There's little details that you don't notice, but you'll miss them if they're not there," said Grobler. "Nobody ever thinks about how they get there." Read more...

Producers hope audience will rediscover Lost
by Bill Keveney of USA Today

by Katherine Nichols, Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Elizabeth Mitchell, who plays Juliet on "Lost," phones at the appointed time to apologize. She will have to call back a few minutes later because her 17-month-old son, C.J., is having "a problem." ...

A Secret Clue in Not in Portland?
Source: Jeff Jensen, Entertainment Weekly
In a recent interview, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse answered questions and revealed a lot about what to expect later this Season. One thing of considerable interest, however, was mention that fans may have missed a secret anagram from the episode, which apparently "actually sheds some light on the skeletons Adam and Eve and hints at a larger mythological mystery that will start to unfold later in the season." The only anagram we've found so far is Mittelos = Lost Time, but is this the one they're referring to, and how could this answer the Adam and Eve mystery? Let the search commence! Read more...

Lostpedia teamwork breaks jigsaw puzzle code
by Santa, Lostpedia staff
A determined community effort at Lostpedia has today cracked the hidden puzzle codes on the back of the Official Lost Jigsaw Puzzles, released by TDC Games. Each of the four puzzles shipped with a spoiler warning, which apparently referred to the puzzle-within-a-puzzle, a series of ciphers hidden in glow-in-the-dark print on the rear of the completed puzzles. In a recent push led by Lostpedian P0pnfresh, many leads (e.g. 1, 2) were followed by our team of diligent editors, including several dead ends. New Lostpedian Thebrothersworld finally broke the code in the last 24 hours.

Latest Ratings show LOST is Found
by Jon Lachonis, BuddyTV
Ever since LOST returned an hour later, a move ABC knew would result in a ratings decline (how couldn't they?), the internet has been on fire with journalists and bloggers using the show's title to denote its status. It has been plain fashionable to bash LOST, everyone from major newspapers to respected online e-zines like Zap2it have gotten into the ring to take a few wild swings at the show that once dominated like no other. There is just one thing wrong with the logic, and I'm repeating myself here for very good reason. ABC knew LOST would lose viewers with the time slot change, but it just didn't matter. Read More...

Is Locke the Key to Lost?
by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, MSNBC
I was about to give up on ABC's "Lost." I thought I'd reached my end when the show returned on Feb. 7 after a long hiatus with a horribly boring episode about horribly boring Juliet, one of the Others, and followed it up with an equally dull venture about minor character Desmond. Since then, the show has been hit-or-miss. But "Lost" may have saved its spot on my TiVo last night by focusing on one of the show's long-forgotten standbys, the cryptic John Locke. (Warning: spoilers for the March 21 episode follow.) Read More...

Sorry, Charlie: Lost Star Wanted to "Die" a Hero
by Shawna Malcom

Lost's mind-blowing third-season finale raised a million questions. Among them: Jack and Kate get off the island?! Who's in the casket?! Are flash-forwards the new flashbacks?! Fans will have to wait until next winter — when the fourth season commences — to stop scratching their heads. Until then, let's pause to remember Dominic Monaghan's Charlie Pace, the ex-junkie rock star turned self-sacrificing hero who died at the hands of Eyepatch Dude so that his fellow plane-crash survivors might be rescued. (Though now we're wondering whether that's such a good thing.) Says executive producer Damon Lindelof, "Charlie's death is indicative of a whole new kind of feel surrounding the show. Charlie's death is the beginning of the end, as it were." Here, Monaghan fills us in on putting Charlie to rest, a certain sentimental canoe paddle and what lies ahead. Read more...

Lost Star Still Looking for Love
by The Chosun Ilbo
"We immigrated to the U.S. when I was 10, and my parents sold things from a trailer. We lived in it, too. These days stars ride and move in trailers. They rest, do their makeup and change their clothes in them. So when I got my first trailer, even though I was supposed to be happy, it reminded me of my past."
