Posts: 6275 09/04/04 05:29 PM More Recent Posts	I was wondering if EntertainmentWeekly's annual Fall TV Preview had hit the stands yet...I look forward to it every year. I'm a little surprised Lost was chosen, I know they were fans of its pilot but their senior critic seemed to really enjoy Desperate Housewives (like many others), which likely got some sort of Honorable Mention. If this show tanks against the shitfest that is Hawaii I'll be pissed - but I'm trying to remain extremely optimistic about its success.

I look forward to it every year, too. I was hoping that they would feature some of the show's cast on the cover, but alas, the coveted spot went to Joey. Joey! Meh...

Booooo! Bad choices... bad! I hope they've at least devoted a spread--rather than a blurb--for Lost.

ETA: Is this BitTorrent thing supposed to go this slow? I'm currently trying it out to download this pilot and after a few hours, its saying it still has another 73 hours to go...is that right?

I found the scan of the Lost article from the Fall TV Preview issue of Entertainment Weekly. Someone called "broksgurl717" posted it on Livejournal, so credit goes to her. I didn't ask her if I could repost it though. titters Scan of article.

Everyone in the cast was so top-notch, and the direction, the writing---EVERYTHING!!! I'm just so giddy right now! The stupid, fat guy (B-O-D-Y-S ) was absolutely hilarious. But the single, best and most intriguing character right now is the Asian wife. She was just...fantastic. Such little dialogue with the husband but so much emotion in her facial expressions alone. Oh, and the reveal of the convict and the U.S. Marshall...without giving anything away, incredible! The man with the backgammon board, was on Alias I know but his character's name escapes me. (ETA: It was Kendal, right?) The mystery of that man...oh goodness...his little orange smile was frightening! The french lady on the walkie-talkie...the thing in the woods...Greg Gunberg's demise...ahh!!! This is the single-best pilot of a new television series I have ever seen, and it has huge potential to become a phenomenon if ABC plays its cards right. Their advertisment department can really muck things up, so let's keep our fingers crossed that that doesn't happen with this show! Grade: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++. Incredible! ETA: Anyone else think the beautiful lead, Evangeline Lilly, was a ringer for Kate Beckinsale? When she said her name was Kate I was totally taken aback!

The one thing LOST has which Boomtown and Miss Match did not have was a perfectly timed internet "leak" and an AMAZING and PASSIONATE word of mouth buzz. I mean, just look at the responses in this thread so far. That is happening on every entertainment site across the internet. ABC will NEVER cancel Lost. That would be as stupid as canceling Thirtysomething or China Beach or The Young Riders or Twin Peaks or Mulholland Drive or Young Indy or Homefront or... uh-oh!

Posts: 6275 09/11/04 05:22 PM More Recent Posts	Have I mentioned how much I loved this show? I know this is months in advance but...what is ABC going to do once the 800-lb. gorilla that is American Idol starts to air? They better have a Plan B because I'm not willing to see this show sink against bitchtits Simon Cowell.
