Wow. That was a busy week, and nerve-racking. A lot of people received refunds from Todd Slater last night. Now we have the weekend to prepare for the next drop, Kevin Tong for The Hatch.
Kevin will sell 45 copies via his online store for $200 each, plus shipping. The Hatch will go on sale Monday January 11, 2010 at noon PST… which is Greenwich Mean Time minus 8 hours. Kevin placed everything you need to know in his Newsletter.
Thank you and have a great weekend.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 542 Newer› Newest»Anne...of course you are absolutely correct about the alcohol! And who could forget (well I did) Juliet swigging the Dharma Rum on the beach after the freighter explodes?
And yes, it is limiting to just be picking a favourite assistant from the Russell T Davis revivals.
Mungonna - I have hope that Eloise is actually attempting to break the cycle. Just because she tells Des that it is futile to change anything because destiny has a way of correcting itself does not necessarily mean that she is not trying to change the outcome of things...only that she was manipulating Des into believing this.
Oh, sorry, yeah, the current run of Doctor Who. I've only ever seen the Patrick Trougton assistants in the animated versions, it had the Cybermen in it. Either way, I was more shocked at how short the dresses were in those days.
And I thought they were short now !!! Even the male assistant's kilt was a bit too short for my liking. Really must re-watch that story arc again.
Oh and am off to bed, goodnight everyone, thanks for the headache with the Ouroboros theories and stuff. Won't be able to watch Red Dwarf without a headache from now on.
Good night!
The value of MacCutcheson..is that you Thor?
Perhaps twisted,,but i got the feel that Widmore was equating Penny..to a bottle of the Mac. You will never taste Mac, you will never marry my daughter..Did he know that the two, Dez and Penny, had been co-habitating for so long? Guess not...So much for the value of his daughter and thus..the value of the Mac.
It is ALL subjective,,and what You don't know can surely screw up your perception as well as what you do know.
So..the value of the Mac..exclusive high brow.. to..it was on the shelf of the sports bar Dez visited to get take a whack to the head..middle brow..to Free swillage by Dez himself on the beach.rather low brow..Its freekin amazing how EVERYTHING in LOST has an arc..simply amazing. And the last we saw of the Mac? Poor Sayid making point of subjectivity with it..and thus..oh schitt..insuring his Path..back to the Island.
If I had some,,I'd raise a shot of Mac...to toast the Beauty of MacCutcheson. That is the only value anything can have.
MEL
Martyn, it is Sarah Jane Smith for me.
From the newer version then ys Donna probably gets my vote.
Got home just in time...watching the LOST special now!
Yep, that was me, MEL. We all should have a bottle together on the beach… and some fish with it ;))
@Futureself: Good point about the price, interesting thought. Devil's advocate, it's possible it's a continuity slip because they never defined a price.
MacCutcheon pretty certainly is in the Widmore scene a metaphor for Penny. Not clear how she's his crowning achievement, but maybe he thinks so. And in fairness, Des says he currently has no job - so it was definitely worth more than he made in a week!
Has anybody made prop bottles of it, I wonder? Will have to check the RPF. In the Brave New World of product integration, it'd have been . . . what, Macallan? (Might have been the inspiration for the name?)
RE: Dr Who assistants: I quite liked Teegan. Very unpopular choice! I was young ;) Dressed up as Ace for Halloween one year (no one got it) so she counts too. No opinion on new seasons really, haven't seen most of it.
Lost special what? :|
This, Annie:
http://bit.ly/5b7mxb
Good night, everybody!
Raindrops in Danger, And gold paint on Friendly,
That scared little bunny held tightly by Benry,
Large half-scarred Locke’s face shown under the wing,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Lime coloured posters with footprints and wheelchair,
French in a bubble and beer near the white bear,
The brown tube arriving oh what a feeling,
These are a few of my favourite things.
;)
I go away for half a day... honestly. It's booze this, drink the other, and MEL seems to have used half a novel's worth of commas. Everyone back in bed and LIGHTS OUT.
thanks thorsten.
I'll never be able to get to see it. :D
Just about to do that Ben! Nice lyrics futureself. K9 for me.
Night Thorsten, Night all.
It will be on youtube tomorrow for sure, Annie.
G'night ;))
Night TW!
I thought the Lost special was pretty good...a lot from a fan perspective...nothing really new, though.
also..yes there has been Dharma booze popping up all over the place..but..it seems to me, that Dez did not stock the shelves of the pantry or any where else in the Swan with booze. Yes, Sawyer mite of got booze from the pallet drop..Julies rum was before Dez's time..yes, Inman and Dez got drunk..but afterwards?? The subtle point is..Dez'es commitment to the 108 minute challenge , was made by keeping sober. That Inman and Dez contemplated turning the FailSafe switch while drunk..seems quite fitting,,as that would have ended the 108 button pushing. Again.. the juxtaposition of sanity/insanity with sober/drunk..brings out interesting conflicts of assumptions. Having a few, may actually bring one to clarity of vision,,sanity. Perhaps I need a few rite now.
MEL
Just finished watching the LOST special. Very current to be able to add footage from G1988.
Only 23 days left... :D
However, i had deleted all my previous "trading" posts, so i'll recap all in one more, then i'll go to bed.
LOVE TRIANGLE: 135$ shipping included, just for the next couple of days.
POLAR BEAR: 135$, but plus shipping.
Email: dvdbos@gmail.com
Remember that i'm GMT+1.
Goodnight europeans, and have a great evening USers! :)
@Special Watchers..any Argies make it on TV?
Thor..I will be on an Island that has sandy beaches,,at end of month. I will even furnish the..or..a..bottle. The fish? alls I know , one is not allowed to touch the turtles there.
Cheers!
MEL
Hmmm - Des was also 'found' in the gutter after a heavy night of drinking by Brother Campbell. At the monastery was trained to endure, whilst sober, the long periods of silence and loneliness he would later face in the Swan. Getting drunk led to his expulsion from the order and him meeting Penny.
AND,,do not forget how Good Julie appeared ..drinking wine after having her way with Goodwin!
Yet,,if only Libby had stayed sober,,we may have seen her likewise.
MEL
Hey guys. My internet is moving at a very slow pace at the moment and is lagging. Can anyone who has The Hatch already help me get it? I will pay the full price + 50 bucks +25 bucks for postage. Email me at ajlim2005@hotmail.com Thanks.
Jason, The Hatch isn't going on sale for two more days! Hopefully your internet will be better by then. :P
1988 surely moved them.
@andrew - I know it wont be up for 2 days anc I think my internet will get better in 5 days. That's why I'm asking for help early.
Thorsten - that post is the most brilliant thing I've ever read.
Just put up a quick announcement on the main page -
Just a quick note to say at least two of us (Dragon Management and Zort70) will be meeting up in Tampa, FL on Sunday night, if any one else is in the area then drop in and say hi. I'll be there around 5pm onwards.
Mr Dunderbaks, 14929 Bruce B Downs Boulevard, Tampa, FL
Hey there ARG peeps!
I got home from work just a little while ago and found LOST G1988 art waiting for me AND Hurley's Curse from Tim Doyle -- YAY! I have to eat dinner and get some work stuff done, then OPEN (if I have any energy left)!
ChrisL's post this morning gave me a bit of a heads up, but it's a little weird that we all got received our G1988 stuff within a day of each other.
LOST talk -- fun! Des was out drinking, he doesn't know what happens but then is "found", awakened, by Brother Campbell and taken to Moriah. Somehow, Ruth's brother Derrick finds Des and this seems to be what leads to Des getting drunk on the monastery's wine and getting kicked out, to have Penny conveniently waiting. So all someone had to do was tip Derrick off about Des to set the next phase in motion.
Oops, sorry, guys. Guess that's an old special that DirecTV tacked on a 2010 date for kicks.
I would love to meet up, but only lived near Tampa until I was 8 (about 20 years ago). Still love that area and try to make it back every few years to watch a Buccaneers game. If you have not yet, have a grouper sandwich. I remember those being fantastic when I was a kid in Tampa Bay.
futureself,
maybe MacCutcheon's only has one type of batch (not likely), but releases it each year. Widmore could have a 25 year old bottle of MacCutcheon's while the pub had a 3 year old bottle.
Just playing devil's advocate.
(mmmm fondly remembering a glass of warmed Grand Marnier Cuvée Speciale Cent Cinquantenaire)
Is there a Tunisia teleporter that stops in Tampa?
This sounds like a different show- but it's a neat 8 minute Lost recap by ABC- ends with Juliet.
http://screenrant.com/lost-in-8-minutes-15-seconds-recap-video-rob-40171/
I really like Brother Campbell as some sort of relative to Elowheezie. Organized religion is rather dependent on the concept of ' Destiny".
So, yes, as pointed out, it is metaphoric goodness that upon throwing Dez out, there is the Good person of Penny in coincidental time and space. Which, as it turns out,,leads to relationship , a union, that Elowheezie claimed no destiny for, by thumbs downing the wedding ring that Dez wanted.Yet the union of Dez and Penny produces a child. Dez'es one fingered salute to Destiny, in a twisted way,, continues with him drubbing Ben and throwing him in the drink. Fascinating..out rite Fascinating,,how that action by Dez..is connected with what becomes of Ben back on the Island.
Early on,Dez was motivated by guilt. Regrets leading to guilt for not doing or being, led to the sorrow being washed away by booze. Monastic reality was still, not being or doing. In the long run,it didn't solve a thing. Same with the Swan Hatch..loosing oneself in monotonal work day routine, without any True purpose to his being, finally brought clarity of vision,,turning the fail safe switch, liberating the Mystical Powers of the Island, and Dez ending up like a new born, naked to the world. Changed. As painful as it was,,Dez had to watch Failure in the persona of Charlie,,die. Once self defeatism was done away with, then and only then could Dez get to being,the Love that Penny had known possible. One may say it was his Destiny. No, it was all his choices,,all his fighting back to find Love he once knew,,other wise,,his destiny would have been found at the bottom of a bottle...imho.
If Dez Penny and son Charlie,,sail off into the sunset, never to be seen again,,that would be okay by me. But,,this is Lost we're talking about, so,,anything is possible.
MEL
Patmc, I'm interested in reading about your homemade framing ideas.
Murghbatwar, have you already mentioned which piece(s) you purchased from Gallery1988?
ChrisL, thrilled that you've received your ScottC! They must be sending things that valuable (and costly) via overnight express! Would also explain the simultaneous arrivals of art all over the world.
@MEL, just read your treatise on Faraday. You're a genius! Explaining the breakdown at the piano...the folly Follies...now you have me writing elliptically...I sense a Joseph Campbell follower..."Follow your Bliss"
Has anyone here read David and Leigh Eddings' Belgeriad/Mallorean series?
Just read about Milo and his Linuses! YAY! I am green. Did Kirk make the envelope too? KEEP THE LINUSES AWAY FROM THE BABY FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE.
Oh, and a series of updates from Kevin Tong on his blog:
"UPDATE: I have heard from other artists selling their Lost Posters that the high demand can compromise the inventory control. There is a possibility of overselling and refunds will be issued in that eventuality.
UPDATE: Since this item is going to be fully insured, I will need to declare the full value ($200) on this item on the customs form. If you are an international buyer, it will mean that you need to pay taxes on it. Normally I try to help you guys out, but in this case, every step needs to be taken to ensure the security of these prints."
Thanks, Andrew!
oh wow. So with a $200 value on a tube, the UK import will a) keep it snagged for about two weeks extra, and b)as import duty is vague at the best of times, it will slap anywhere between an additional £30 - £80 on to the posters price (that's about $50 - $130).
Best of luck getting these. I really liked 'em, but not at that cost and hassle.
Ben, I'm feeling the same way. That's a big problem.
If I'm lucky enough to get one I shall need to have it shipped to a US address and have it collected from there afterwards. it's only £30 to get it shipped 2 day FedEx and you can't get much more secure than that in my experience.
Can we not get all the tubes sent to Ann Arbor and have Captain Bird sub them over?
Hey guys. My internet is moving at a very slow pace at the moment and is lagging. Can anyone who has The Hatch already help me get it? I will pay the full price + 75 bucks +25 bucks for postage. Email me at ajlim2005@hotmail.com Thanks.
I know I've posted this up before but I really want this. I'll try and space the posts to a minimum of 8 hours.
futureself, you have the solution!
Milo, my limited tech resources due to the dust is still settling after my move means I'm having problems checking this but if memory serves correctly (and it rarely does) the MacClutcheon's in the pub is the same year as Widmore's bottle (?) I am starting to remember why I locked down discussing this back in June though ;)
I hadn't noticed anyone had posted anything on it so I asked questions about the Olly Moss up on ebay. The one which is UK based and has Olly's signature on the back. I wanted to know where, when, how it was signed and the circumstances of it coming about etc, The answer I got;
"i would rather not give details on places/times unfortunately..i know how important the integrity of the campaign is..(which has got more to go)
okay it's signed on the reverse.i can tell you there is no signiture on the front of the poster and no number...it is an original though but literally one of the first...i guarantee it. I will leave it up to you..."
So it's sounding like it may be a proof...
Wow ChrisL, that is actually quite interesting because apparently almost all of the prints were printed by D&L in Seattle. It could be that Olly's was not one of those, and that his was printed in the UK. Then it's possible there this is yes, a printer's proof.
Perhaps his concern about the "the integrity of the campaign" alludes to this copy being one that is outside of the original run of 300.
Is it numbered? Do we know? Interesting...
i know how important the integrity of the campaign is..(which has got more to go)
Hmm…
lol ugh...." possible that this is a printer's proof."
I think you are right, Chris and Midday.
If it was too risky to ship to Downunder, the same could be the case with Britain…
23 days and 8 hours to LA X…
Midday...'I can tell you there is no signiture on the front of the poster and no number'.
Is it the one currently at 780, Chris?
Ah, yes, sorry should've re-read the quote. Very tired - up way too late here.
So, yes, sounds like a proof, not 1 of the 300. If so, there are 301 of these in circulation after this sale (well, taking into consideration there are 49 or 50 disney/ABC are holding onto).
Too many spelling mistakes so re-post!!
Midday, the response I got was that it is not numbered. I can't imagine it's one of the 300 as I'm sure there was supreme control over those so I guess it must be an additional print. As you said, I thought these were all printed in the US. Why would Olly print them here in the UK? This does taste like a proof though. Not only that, if Olly has signed it on the back, it could be the sign off proof prior to print would would actually be pretty nice to have. The fact that she's reluctant to tell where and when the sig took place makes me think even more that it's a printers sign off copy.
No Thorsten, 1 bid $798.08.
I just shot a mail to Olly, and asked him if his prints were from D&L in Seattle or somewhere else…
Cat amongst the pigeons then TW!
I suspect it may be taken down before the 5 days is up.
Maybe we have to search the rubbish bins at a printer in Burton on Trent, Staffordshire… Paul Scheer style!
lol - I'd seriously consider it!
I'm on it Thorsten. Get gotta defrost the car!
And good morning everyone!
This is the sellers youtube channel…
http://www.youtube.com/TheLadyRowena
I was at that cliff on Inishmore, too!
And do you still have your hat Thorsten?
haha, no, it was a yankees cap, Chris!
Martyn, I suggest we start with this bloke…
Petes Printing
14 Eton Road Horninglow, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire DE14 2SW
p: 01283 529 786
;))
Follow the clues...just like the good ol'days!
Thorsten, I find it hard to reconcile that a print so beautiful and so in demand could have been produced somewhere called 'Petes Printing"!
Yeah Chris...it's unlikely:
http://petesprinting.yolasite.com/
LMAO @ ChrisL
But that is exactly the place Olly would pick to throw us off the trail… I guess Rowena is Pete's ex…
______
It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.
No offense meant to Pete obviously.
I don't know Chris, but aren't the folks from Staffordshire supposed to be quite sensitive when mocked?
Well the bull terriers get a bit irritable but I'm sure the good folk living there can take a ribbing ;)
@Kharma Initiative - I wanted to do something extra special framing-wise for my LOST posters, seeing as they're going to be hanging on my walls for many years to come. I've read some on-line about building your own frames, but it will definitely be a trial and error effort on the first frame or two. As a base, I'm using some crown molding that I bought at Home Depot. I've got some other things that I want to try, but I don't want to share just yet, in case they don't work out. I'll try to document it as best I can... but it's going to take a while I think.
@Mel - Thanks for the tips about the clamps for my framing. I'll have to check around... maybe harbor freight for some cheapo ones.
@Zort - I took some pictures of the Tim Doyle print, specifically of the promised "Doodle" he added. It is a small Mr. Cluck, and under it, it says "Eat Less Chicken"... LOL Let me know what email address is the best to send them to. I also took a picture of the letter he sent with it, but I'm going to email Tim to make sure he's OK with me having you post it...
As an added bonus, Tim was kind enough to send along a random print from his other work, along with "The Numbers". How cool is that? I got a "gig" poster for a group called "The Detroit Cobras". Leave it to my wife to spot a hair that is stuck on the print. If it is Tim Doyle's hair... does that make it more valuable? :-)
I'm off to bed. Stayed up WAY too late playing computer games! Good night all!
Night Pat. Hope you're going to do some regular posting on the frame learning curve. That would be sooo helpful to others (not least me).
Good morning! Busy busy day to bring my artful weekend to a close - Stout's LOST on Friday, Demarais The Linuses Saturday, and now an exciting day Sunday - no deliveries, but I have a good feeling about today too...will update later.
;)
Hmmm Rev... intriguing.
sure is quiet here today, everybody enjoying a relaxing sunday I see. A day without poster drops, it's bound to happen.
I'm guessing not a lot of out of USers are going to be trying for Tong's piece now then? So glad my gf changed her mind about buying it, price put her off so she's settling for the love triangle I got her. Charming she is, first thing I said when I told her was, you sure you wouldn't rather sell it?
Just can't win!
Giving a love triangle to a GF???
risky no?
LOL
if you still love The Hatch, I'd wait six months. The value will go down, a few months after the end of the season I'd expect to see them on Ebay between $100-$150.
Lol, or maybe a subtle hint?
Ben,
I think they will dip and re-rise after the season ends. We still have the profiles in history auction ahead and Comicon SD, both of those will keep the value of almost any Lost collectible in the upper range after the season ends.
Hahaha.. I don't expect them to be selling in 6 months.
ROFL Martyn!
I forgot about other kind of love triangle...
Reverend Milo, I know about the Profiles in History Auction but what is Comic Con SD?
So which will you be Martyn, Jack or Sawyer ;-)
Well, I like to think of myself as a dumbass who tends to do stupid things, so I guess i'm Jack!
But do you have a couple of good goofy "Martynface" in your repertoire to do an accurate portrayal of the role?
Hmmm, now that you mention it...
Talking about # of prints in circulation- does anyone else think the 1/1 prints sold at G88 mean they actually printed 301 for sale in the end, not the 300 number that was on the DCAPB site? Two editions?
I just returned from the beach, which was totally drowned by a storm… looked like this:
http://bit.ly/StormyBeach
Looks wild Thorsten!
Just Thinking, I don't know that they could mark our prints ?/300 if there were 301, it wouldn't make sense.
Chris Yes- but 1/1 doesn't either if there are 300. So, 1/1 and ?/300 = 301? Just saying it seems they printed an extra one when they said there were only going to be 300. Doesn't much matter to me- just curious.
I agree JT, printed 301 and I guess they define that being a single edition on it's own by the additional signatures. That was the only difference wasn't it?
Except for Locke's Secret of course where there appears to be 302!
And the origin of 302 seems to be an appropriate Secret.
And the description on that item says
"An original - 1 of 200 ever made"
Aside from the obvious contradiction, it seems to me to be a seller that doesn't really know what's going on.
back in the day 1/1 is the artist proof, screen clean and run is made starting 1/300, not sure definition today with artist not on site when run starts.
or is the artist does not approve, an proof might be made until satisfied. maybe one of these "got away" with permission.
Daisy looks pretty mean!
Cute cat though :)
ok, "if" and "a proof" keyboard FAIL
It'ts totally awesome, I stood on the cliffs in the freezing storm filled with tiny multifast ice particles, and was about to be blown away ;))
Sounds exhillarating....and really bloody stupidly dangerous :S
ChrisL...
Do you know anywhere I can get a nice poster portfolio. I think some are going to have to be retired from the walls.
I bought one... let me see if I can find the details.
reminded me of Inishmore, futureself…
;))
@Martyn I purchased one from link that Kharma Initiative provided before Christmas. It was on sale at that time with free shipping. (and apparently backordered too since mine with be delivered tomorrow.) Below is link. It is full price now, but a little searching for Itoya 18x24 portfolio should yield results.
link
http://www.calumetphoto.com/item/IT0118/
hmmm, can't talk, can't type, can't link. Sorry.
Martyn, I checked out quite a lot of online offerings and about the best value I could see (the one everyone talked about in the US didn't seem to be available here), was this from Graphics Direct. A1 is £32, not cheap but it's more than fine. The sleeves are £23 for 10 but again they're pretty good. Delivery was quick and well packed.
Do prints get numbered as they go along, so that say 2/300 is actually the second print of the run? Was wondering if G88 could number the 1/300 as 1/1 somehow. Or maybe they did get the 1/1 proofs to the Gallery to show them what the posters were going to be, and then sold them.
Thorsten- we have folks here who go to see the Atlantic waves when there are storms off shore. They stand on the normally OK rocks, with the Park Rangers telling them to move, and then that big wave comes....
andalone, Martyn and I are in the UK.
and I am!
Are you in Maine, Just Thinking?
Indeed you are Ben. Is that you representing extra soundly over at our friends forum?
and I am a moron today, 2nd day in a row.
Cheers for the links guys, ChrisL, will check what they've got now, thanks!
andalone - being helpful does not = being a moron.
Not a moron andalone, it's not like I mention where I come from on a daily basis.
I'm UK too!
I am guilty of forgetting everyone here is spread across the globe. It feels more intimate, like we are all neighbors.
Me 3 Murgh ;)
Next door in NH Thorsten. We have just a bit of that coast- yes most of it is in Maine that I am thinking of.
With all these UK people here, someone should organise a LOST finale party. Who's got the biggest telly then?
I love New England, Just Thinking.
Totally agree Martyn! Round Zort's place then? ;)
Nice thought Martyn but it'll be a family affair for me, there are 9 of us serious fans!
OK FS, we'll be coming in 3 cars, let him know to arrange parking. KI, any nephews in the UK?
Lucky you Chris, I only have my gf. My parents like it but don't follow it as passionatly as I do and my gf is currently fearing "not being geeky enough" for the premiere in Hawaii. So yeah, not many people for me.
Oh and my parents talk throughout, even when I say they can't! Beyond irritating!
Chris L - just get a Dharma Van :)
Lots of photography opportunities here Thorsten! Also true in Germany. I've only been there once- to Munich. Very much enjoyed tromping around the city and busing out to places like Neuschwanstein Castle. There's lots of climbing to do-which is OK with me, I'm not really a flatlander.
I'm up in Staffordshire, so you are all welcome to come and watch the premiere.
I'll leave some clues for the location :-)
Patmc - If it is a large picture then send it to the lostargs@hotmail.com address please.
But you are not in Burton-on-Trent, are you, Zort?
lol - I can just picture a bunch of us Ukers wandering aimlessly across a Staffordshire field sobbing about missing the premier and cursing your criptic clues (although I think Martyn wanted to do the final) ;)
This is down in Oqunquit, JT…
And Neuschwanstein, yep, busy place.
I go climbing there, too, in an area called the Allgäu…
..only two days in a row? I wish I was so fortunate. Actually I rather like being perceived a moron tho. Expectations are kept to a minimum. And when expectations are exceeded, why heck, you are a genius.
Being a genius tho,,alls one can do, is disappoint expectations, rather like the 2nd album by any rock band.
So..rock on andalone!
whaaat?
MEL
Afternoon peeps!
Just checking in from work. A UK meetup is tempting. I have an uncle in the UK and could probably fly out and back faster (and cheaper) than Hawaii -- though of course not as warm right now.
The G1988 1/1 are a separate run as LT explained, not part of the 300. But I don't think technically they are artists proofs or printer proofs. They are a special run intended just for the G1988 event.
Milo and Martyn -- too funny!
How is the coffee today, MEL?
Intriguing idea, ObFuSc8.
I don't know what's in MEL's coffee, but mine is delicious! LOL
Yeah, I meant the finale. Don't think I could choose between Hawaii and Zort's place to be honest.
Yep Thorsten- York is a hop away- often go there-though we try to avoid the summer traffic. {Maine this is - not England)
Thanks Ob8 about the prints. Hmm- then that "limited to an edition of just 300" was stretched just a little.
The coffee is cooling down as I am lifted by its caffeine. My empty stomach is having slite difficulty with the see saw tho. Did enjoy your pictures too. Hide Tide indeed! Reminds me that a load of laundry is in my very near future. The coffee will wash the food down. Stay warm!
Its fun being where I am from.
MEL
Does anyone know how many colours (oops, sorry, colors) were used for The Hatch?
I'm counting three.
Pink, yellow, green, black
and blue on the edges
It's blue paper, so didn't count that.
Olly is a guy, not a girl.
-charter
Colours in the Hatch?..depends on how many blues..very dark blue..medium dark blue...maybe even a lighter blue than medium, the blue of the paper itself seen around the edge,,then the red and green and then the yellow. I see 6 colours...an art teacher in school once ding'ed me for spelling " color" as c o l o u r..I have yet to forgive him.
MEL
charter, the 'she' referred to the ebay seller who appears to be female.
You can mix colors to make a different color. As in using black and then blue to create a darker blue. That is what they do instead of using blue and dark blue.
-charter
And that's an assumption on my part from their user name.
I have seen Olly referred to as a girl a lot of places....even in articles about him! Even though Olly is short for Oliver, which is totally a guys name in the UK!
So charter, any thoughts on number of screens used in The Hatch? I'm impressed by the breadth of the colours KT has created. And I haven't even seen it in person (yet :-)), but it's clear to see from the quality images out there. We've 3 - 6 so far.
Bombshell!!
http://twitpic.com/xjqlf
boom goes the dynamite!!
Uber nice, Miles.
Sweeeeeet!!! How'd you do that?
WHAT THE ????? There has to be a story to go with that rev. Do tell.
Still driving back. But woot!!!! Grinning like an idiot!
So Milo had lunch at Whataburger ?
hmmm... MY "boom goes the dynamite" will benefit more people than just me. I'm expecting to be able to share in the week sometime...
Now you got me thinking, Ben…
Or Ben, you could share right now?
Just a suggestion.
Sounds good Ben whatever it is.
WHATABURGER!!!!..gessh,no kidding..that jump suite Tom won really wouldn't fit him. Nice sunny day there in Texas. Glad to see youall enjoying it. Who took the picture? Next time,,have it so you aren't squinting. Sun glasses wouldn't have been a bad idea either. This is the web you know. So, did you have lunch at the Whadda? They put mustard on their burgers. So, when I want something different , out ofthe ordinary, I go there.

That's not me . . .
Pictured with Rev, and Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear is Jon Lachonis aka Doc Arzt. Rev used his powers of persuasion. :)
I thought that would have been a long drive. Splitting up the collection didn't make sense either,Pheeeewww!
So..there are now 3 Uber Collections!
True,,i'm still waiting on Polar Bear from 1988. Seems like a long time.

I looked a half hour ago and there was no sign of it.
Cool pic, Rev. I heard he was moving out to California (Bakersfield).
Does anyone know if last nights Special is up anywhere that the UK can see?
email...:)
xxoo
So that's Doc Arzt? Wow, always wondered what he looks like.
So does anyone have any thoughts on the Candidate?
Lapidus is special. Locke was special too but the two personalities are very different. Lapidus is sceptical and questioning and more importantly he wants to leave the Island. He seems like the most honest character too. Whereas Locke, at the beginning of Season 1 in particular, seemed very shady, Lapidus’s character has never been in doubt - in my mind at least.
So my question relates to something that has bothered me since Season One ~ why did Smokey kill the pilot? It has to be to do with Lapidus who was supposed to be piloting that day. So assuming this logic is reasonable, did Smokey kill the pilot because he was not Lapidus, or because Smokey though he was Lapidus?
@futureself... I've always thought it was because he wasn't Lapidus.
Yep that's DocArtz!
He and the whole family are moving across the continent and were passing through north Texas.
Super nice guy, great little family, they ate whataburger while I went for Taco Bueno on the long drive back.
We met in a sufficiently Texas podunk town where even google maps has no real good idea where anything is. I only knew that the Whataburger was where it was and not 4 miles east in the dead center of the intersection of the two state highways nearby.
So that does now make three known uber-setters, each with some distinct cool variations in their collections :)

Future Self..going way back to your comment..that maybe Elowheezie was just trying to manipulate Dez into believing in Destiny.Its possible. That would leave open her returning to the show in a cab. But, the idea that she knows something of the future,season 6,that we don't,takes season 6 out of the Losties hands,and places it into hers and or Charles Widmores,perhaps even MIB. Since MIB appears to be more than just opposite, but Above wheezie and upchuck,, i'm inclined to see season 6 in the hands of MIB.
Unless it is their deaths by hanging from a banyun tree..and no tieing of their feet; i really want to see their feet kicking and jerking, I don't like either in season 6. As Matt Fox said, there is redemption in season 6 and Elowheezie and/or Widmore, appear of the age that they cannot even change at, much less want to change.
Perhaps in a flashback, or forward, they will appear. Any " destiny" issues being clarified then. There is only one way of knowing tho.

Excellent Rev..Freekin amazing confluence of Time and Space. Doc Artz ..a Big Way to Go!! for recognizing the need. A small gesture that is beyond value.
Rev..may good fortune continue as you progress on the project. My eyes water tells me its time to put the laundry in the drier.
Peace

Rev...what podunk town in NT was this?

Well Mel, Ellie has said that for the first time she does not know what is going to happen. I happen to like Eloise so perhaps that is why I am quick to look for motivations beyond repeating the cycle. That her actions have been to break the chain of events.
But I know what you mean. I understand the level of disgust for her actions. If they are simply to continue the future of the past then it equates to consuming your offspring to replenish your own youth. Stagnation rather than progress. Living to exist.
Charter,
Gainseville proud home of Gainseville ISD, or at least that is what the billboard outside town said.
AAh!..why did Smokie kill the pilot?
Some points first. The pilot had been drinking. Remember,,he tossed one or two down quickly ,,made the comment about his mother-in-law. So..what little we about the pilot, himself,is that he ,,like the Losties,,had some baggage on board as well. But what else do we know? For one..He was responsible for the plane..therefore..responsible for ,,getting lost over the pacific,,and most importantly..for the plane flying over the Island,,or..bringing the situation for the rest of the story to be told.
Therefore..how Smokie is defined,,is just as important or a major part of the question and answer, as the question itself. Smokie Killed the Pilot Because Smokie Don't Like Being Acknowledged. Smokie Don't Like Being " Discovered",, Explored", Brought To The Attention Of". Smokie Likes IT..nice and dark in the recesses of the Island. Denial of that which brings Awareness of our own Smokie,,is first reaction. We tend to kill off our own Pilot, out of fear.
Frank Lapidus..yea.. why is he still along for the ride? The element of should've been/ could've been is there. Take that into the future, along with his calm steady handiness, and the future looks like an approachable destination for all. I await a futuristic twist of his great line.." We're not going to Guam, are we?"
MEL
The look on Frank's face when he said that line... priceless.
Not an official trailer, but maybe the best I've seen:
