Been missing Lost (and, uh, my postings on this blog…riiiight)? WELL, if you want a marathon, the Sci Fi channel will be airing four episodes of Season 4 every Monday starting September 15th. Cool! It’ll be especially valuable if the reruns are the ones with pop-up factoids, etc that showed before new episodes this past season.

Word is also out that filming/production is slated to begin again within the next couple of weeks. This means that if you see filming in progress, let us all know here on the the blog! Better yet, take a few pictures and email them to me so I can post them. It’s always fun seeing the places we visit every day here transformed on primetime television.

Some other news: sources say that we can expect 2 new characters this season. As if we don’t already have enough characters, right? They do sound interesting, though, so I don’t mind–as long as they live up to their hype…

Last thing: I got another email from Octagon Global Recruiting. I am no internet whiz, and the link they originally sent led to an ‘error’ page that was just beyond me. HOWEVER, I thought I’d try the link again to put it on this post, and viola! we have a real site now…a pretty cool one, too. After the intro, if you click ‘new recruit’, you are prompted to take a sometimes-amusing, sometimes-creepy ‘Eligibility Test’.

I ‘passed’. Anyone else try it and ‘fail’?

Unfortunately, not Sawyer. Not Kate or Sun or Hurley or Jack. Or even Ben. Someone much more mysterious:

Octagon Global Recruiting!!

Anyone else get the follow-up email after signing up at the website mentioned in the pseudo commercial they ran during the season 4 finale?

The e-mail says that I can take an ‘aptitude test’ at the Comic Con in San Diego next month. Since I will still be here on Oahu then, we’ll just have to wait for those who live in Southern California (or can afford to travel there) to tell us what that entails. I was also admonished not to share the email or its contents with anyone…about 2 lines after being told to spread the word about everything contained in it!

Anyone who says that the creators of Lost have no sense of humor are missing something.

So who is suffering from Lost withdrawals? H20 is satisfying the craving by re-watching Season 1.  And issuing the following challenge: “all I have to say is, anyone who says we never get any answers should go back and watch even the first couple episodes and tell me we don’t know so much more then we knew back then.”

Hmmmm. I might just have to go and do that.
