LOST star MATTHEW FOX was stunned when legendary American football coach RED DAWSON flew to Hawaii to meet the actor, because the sports hero has rarely flown since his entire team was wiped out in a 1970 plane crash.
Fox plays Dawson in new movie WE ARE MARSHALL and desperately wanted to meet the coach before filming began in West Virginia – but his Lost schedule left him unable to travel.

   Flying really is safer than driving. U.S. Air Force flight-test engineer Todd Curtis
says that the average US citizen could board a flight a day for 20,000 years without dying in an accident. For those wishing to really
play it safe, here is a chart showing the average age of particular aircraft models: Average Aircraft Age. Note: data is over 8 years old

If you’ve seen the DVD extras or TV interviews with many of the
LOST actors, you’ve probably realized that they really do get along
well and enjoy each other’s company. When they are together, they
can be hilarious. An article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer
reminds us just how funny they can be in public.

Elizabeth: I have noticed that whenever I do scenes with Josh or Evangeline, all of a sudden, the men and women are just there.

Adewale: Popping out of the sand, out of the water.

Elizabeth: Or someone really holding in his tummy while jogging.

Adewale, upon being told that Matthew claims to know how the series is going to end: Well, he knows people in very low places.

Me: So will we find out in this season who is the father of the baby in your womb?

Yunjin: Well…

Jorge: I heard it was mine.

Josh: I was out of town.

Jorge: The lizard baby comes out.

  Tony Tellado of Sci-Fi Talk recently interviewed Michael Emerson(Henry Gale/Ben Linus) of LOST.
There are some real insights into the production of LOST in this interview. If you think they’re taking a break during the hiatus, you’re wrong!
Everything seems to happen very quickly. The time period between Emerson’s accepting the offer and being strung up a tree in a net
in Hawaii was apparently very short! Not informed of whether or not his character was lying, he played
everything as if he was telling the truth. Since the character is a very good liar, this works very well.
The actors only have about 10 days vacation during the holidays and otherwise work full time between now and May! [Editor's note:
no more complaining about the long break! :) ]

  I’ve already listened to the interview twice while driving around in my Mitsubishi
LOSTmobile :) – It’s a very enjoyable interview. There is some funny stuff about people reacting to
him when they seen him in public. Someone spotted him in Hawaii after the earthquake: Hey, wait a minute – you’re on LOST! You’re Henry Gale!
You just walk around… with people!??

  Be sure to listen for Michael Emerson’s idea on what may be driving the others.

Some Michael Emerson quotes:

If I had known it was going to be such a big thing, I would have been more nervous about it!

People on every continent, I think, can identify with some of the characters.

about seeing the fans in person: It’s fun. I think they’re curious to get a look at the face behind the face… and they seem to have
a little bit of hesitation. In their mind, the character is a fairly formidible one.

  When I was a physics student, I remember one of my instructors
saying that he believed that faster than light travel would be
achieved by science. I remember thinking that this was an odd statement because we
had been taught for years that faster than light travel was impossible
because it led to paradoxes: time travel, of course, being one of them.
Maybe he knew something or maybe he saw that I was losing consciousness and he just
wanted to say something to keep my head from hitting the desk.

  In recent years, several articles have appeared concerning the work
of a theoretical physicist by the name of
Burkhard Heim.
Extending his theory leads to the possibility of sending a spacecraft into a multidimensional
hyperspace (yes- I don’t know what that means either) with the use of powerful magnetic fields. I don’t
know if any of this could lead to time travel, but the powerful magnetic field is certainly
present in the fictional world of LOST.

  Of course, science fiction in LOST doesn’t need to rely only on science
in the real world. Science fiction is built mostly on previous science fiction. The first
reference to previous science fiction that I noticed was the appearance of Desmond running
naked through the jungle just moments before Eko’s stick nearly struck Locke on the head. Desmond’s mysterious appearance
outside of the hatch without clothes is similar to the famous scene in The Terminator where
time travelers materialize naked because clothes don’t travel through time in the fictional
world of The Terminator.

  Eko’s twirling stick reminds us of the famous Dawn of Man scene in one of the most most
famous science fiction movies of all time: 2001: A Space Odyssey. Unfortunately, no one really understands
2001: A Space Odyssey.

  Later, Desmond builds a lightning rod which captures the lightning that may
otherwise have killed Claire, Charlie or the baby. Knowing the moment that lightning will strike is
also a plot device in the movie Back To The Future which, of course, is a movie
about time travel. Others have said that Desmond is now psychic or Claire voyant, but
I’m sticking with the time travel angle.

  You don’t want to know what happened to me! screams Desmond in
a preview of things to come. It’s bound to be mind blowing, but without a time machine,
we’re all going to have to wait to find out what really happened to Desmond.

  
During last night’s ABC LOST Podcast (Monday, November 6), LOST Producers Damon Lindelof and
Carlton Cuse answered questions regarding flight attendant Cindy and the
missing kids. The question from erialc8390:

When are we going to see an explanation for why the Others take the children, and other people, and what happened to them?
and the question from tailies_fan:
How come the kidnapped tailies haven’t surfaced? What happened to Cindy? And the kids? That’s bugged me ever since episode 7 of season 2!
was aired on the show. Carlton Cuse answered and explained that both Cindy and the kidnapped kids would be seen by
episode 8 of the current season:

Damon:: When are we going to see an explanation for why the others take the children and other people and
what happened to them? What happened to Cindy and the kids?

Carlton: Well, I think those are fair questions, Damon and…

Damon: That’s why I asked.

Carlton: and now I’m going to, as you requested, be serious. So yes, in fact, we will be answering (interrupted)

Damon: Wait! Take off that funny hat first!

Carlton: But it was Halloween last night! Um, yes we will be seeing them.

Damon: We’ll be seeing the kids?

Carlton: Cindy and the kids.

Damon: Cindy and the kids?

Carlton: and the kids.

Damon: and we’ll be finding out what The Others have been
doing with the children?

Carlton: Well, we’ll learn more about that – absolutely.

Damon: How long do I have to wait for that?

Carlton: 13 weeks.

  Carlton later confirmed that we should find out what happened
to Cindy in episode 8.
