WHAT TO DO UNTIL 1/31/08: SUGGESTIONS FOR THOSE WHO ARE ‘LOST’

Posted by JOpinionated on January 15, 2008 in Film, LOST, Television | 0 comments

The countdown has begun, and the fanboys and girls are restless. So here are some fun suggestions for the Lost masses to entertain themselves in the meantime.

1. Go see Cloverfield this weekend, and support J.J. Abrams. He’s like our L. Ron Hubbard, except far less creepy. And much more alive. 
   
2. Throw a Lost theme party where character costumes are mandatory, and invite your favorite blogger so she can take photos and interview the guests (I’m talking to you, Jaime!).
   
3. Channel your inner Martha; make and bake homemade Fish Biscuits and dream about shirtless sweaty Sawyer in the cage. Or dressed up and dirty Kate, who, according to the shirtless sweaty stud, tastes like strawberries.
   
4. Rent or buy Season 3 on DVD, and host your very own marathon. The bonus features and commentaries are AWESOME, by the way.
5. Catch up with Hurley in real life. Read Jorge Garcia’s blog.
6. Watch a sneak peak of a scene from the new season AND a recap of all 3 seasons in the Hurley-inspired/numbers-cursed time of 8 minutes, 15 seconds here.
   
7. Obsess about and overanalyze the new Lost promo (pictured above), which features the reflection of a modern city skyline in the water.
   
8. Watch videos, follow clues and play along on Find815.
   
9. Google the new Lost cast members: Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan), Jeff Fahey (Lawnmower Man), Ken Leung (X-Men: The Last Stand), Rebecca Mader (The Devil Wears Prada), and Lance Reddick (The Wire).
10. Create a Lost contest on your blog or at your office, and reward the person who can guess the exact number of times that Michael has yelled “Walt!” in three seasons combined. Bonus points for the person who correctly estimates how many times he wails for his son again after his return this season.
    

So update your calendars and set your TiVO or DVR, because here are the titles and air dates of all 8 new episodes:

Bring. It. On. Are you with me?
