Most of the Lost «The Powers That Be» (TPTB) gathered for the autograph session and launch party for the Medicom Kubrick Lost action figures at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. The figures may or may not be to everyone’s taste, but any Lost fan would be in envy of the fun time had by all last Wednesday November 19. In attendance were names such as : J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse, the writing duo of Adam Horowitz & Edward Kitsis, as well as stalwart Elizabeth Sarnoff and of course the recently poached-from-the-comics-world Brian K. Vaughan.

There was also an art gallery by executive producer Jack Bender, and in the LA Weekly gallery I spied the «Hatch Painting» as well as a painting from Widmore’s bedroom, a sighting that confirmed for the first time it was yet another in-show artwork by Bender.

Photo galleries: Autographed goodies were available galore, as well as what looked to be a chance to suit up in authentic DHARMA jumpsuits, from the looks of several photo galleries posted by fans as well as the LA Weekly.

Take a look at the two photo galleries and have fun.

The winds are fanning the possible flames of a debilitating actor’s strike again, an issue largely dormant since July, when the Screen Actor Guild’s primetime contract expired.

In the aftermath, there was no new contract, but there was also no strike, due to prevailing belief that the union’s membership would not have the stomach to authorize a strike on the heels of the writer’s strike. Life went on, and filming at all networks for a new television season commenced on schedule.

Last week, the union met with the producers (AMPTP), along with a federal mediator, for the first time since July, with negligible signs of progress.

Today, the news media are reporting that talks officially broke down completely, and the union responded by announcing a campaign to convince its members to authorize a strike. Whether they will be successful in the midst of a worldwide economic downturn, but with so much on the line such as «new media» viewing payments (have you watched Lost on abc.com lately?), has yet to be seen. Read more at a nice, in-depth article at the LA Times.

If a strike does begin in the near future, it will of course interrupt the filming of Lost’s Season 5, which will probably be somewhere more than halfway through the season by the beginning of the new year. It doesn’t look likely yet, but fans should keep an eye on the news to see if the Screen Actors Guild manages to muster a strike authorization. If that happens, it will almost certainly affect our 2009 fix of Lost in some fashion.

Embedded in the new Lost promo was a logo for Ajira Airways. When you go to the website you can enter in your email address for further updates. A new Lost ARG perhaps?
Let the Journey Begin
The skies have no limit with our new destinations launching January 21st, 2009. Take an adventure anywhere around [...]

The previous blog post mentions the discovery of this mysterious company, but I wanted to both summarize what we know and further show what I’ve found snooping around (which isn’t much).

As you probably know, during a Lost Season 5 promo music video thingy of «You Found Me» by The Fray, there was a very brief logo there, Ajira. If you visit ajiraairways.com then you’ll notice a very cool airplane company with the tagline «Destiny calls» – the same tagline seen on promotional posters for Lost Season 5. Furthermore, the site is launching January 21st – the date of Season 5’s premiere. You can sign up to their mailing list, and «discover new ways to get lost in the world.»

I think one of the most interesting things with this whole thing is that Ajira, as mentioned in the last post, can be transliterated (whatever that is?!) from Hindi to make «island» or «isle». Thinking back to Hans Van Eeghen’s final words in his last email, «in the meantime may the spirit of the island guide you» – makes a bit more sense now, and perhaps it wasn’t just a flippant let’s-slightly-chip-the-fourth-wall thing.

Anything else to report? Well there’s one thing, but I doubt its significance. I was playing on Google and found a cached version of the Ajira site dated Nov 10th. See it here. It looked normal but I saw «Burky…Call me!» which I thought was a bit weird, especially when Lost executive producer Bryan Burk is known by that nickname. But again, probably nothing, and I’m certainly not trying that number!

Update 1 – Lostpedia Administrator Santa added details on the site. Apparently WHOIS lists that it was created October 21st, so thus the cached Nov 10th content I cite was actually added it would seem by the makers of the site. For more info and what Santa got, see Lostpedia’s Ajira Airways article.

Update 2 – Sorry, another little thing. The WHOIS stuff suggests that the site is being run by LeeLee films. In other words, NOT Hoodlum. This might suggest that Ajira is unrelated to Dharma, as surely Hoodlum would produce the new site if it’s from the same ARG project?

Check out the new Lost Season 5 Promo that was released with The Fray music video. It’s a great first peek at what’s to come! And did you catch the Easter Egg?

The new season 5 trailer, a mix of Lost clips and the new music video by The Fray, entitled «You Found Me» (do you see what they did there?) has gone up on ABC.com.

Being British, I obviously didn’t get to see it during Grey’s Anatomy, and my music taste is generally less suited to the MOR stylings of The Fray, however as a Lost devotee I did my duty, and grinned, gritting my teeth whilst bearing the new song. Sure enough, the song itself was exactly what I expect of The Fray, but that wasn’t the reason I decided to watch the clip. There were many short segments in the video that could be considered spoilers, so I’ll not discuss them here. I will just leave a copy of the video should you decide to clip play yourself (You have been warned!)

However, there was some information on the trailer, which is so abstract that it couldn’t possibly be considered a spoiler, as we have absolutely no idea what it means yet…

Who are Ajira Airways?
Anyone else brave enough to add their e-mail address and see what happens?

Edit: Forum user theotherbilly has discovered that Ajira, when transliterated from its Hindi origin means «Island or Isle». Good find!

Новый проморолик вышел в музыкальном формате. Во время исполнения песни группы The Fray «You Found Me», можно увидеть как старые, так и новые кадры из сериала. Ниже мы предлагаем вам посмотреть раскадировку видео, чтобы вы смогли самостоятельно проанализировать некоторые события 5 сезона.

Как вы уже заметили, в видеоролике появляется логотип «Ajira Airlines». Зайдите на ajiraairways.com и вы увидите очередной загадочный сайт от создателей lost’а (мне он напомнил oceanic-air.com). На главной странице красуется надпись «Небо станет безграничным с нашими новыми пунктами назначения, которые станут доступны 21 января 2009. Путешествуйте по всему земному шару и узнайте, насколько велик наш мир. Возвращайтесь сюда почаще, чтобы открыть новые способы затеряться (get lost) в этом мир…
