LOST: Season 2 Score

This was a nice surprise, didn't know this came out on Tuesday.

1:43 AM and no posts? Guess I'll start. Some people in my weekly group of Lost-watchers were disappointed in the season premiere. Some even said they'd flat-out lost faith. But "A Tale of Two Cities" gave me just what I was expecting (catching up with Jack, Kate, and Sawyer's situations) and then some (see above). Probably the most thrilling LOST scene since, well.. the last LOST scene we saw.

Questions:
- Is Ben/Henry Gale really "Him?" I've thought so all along, and now I'm pretty sure that even when Henry himself mentioned Him back in the hatch it was just a fear tactic.
- Is Juliette his ex?
- Could Juliette be either the second-in-command, or perhaps even higher up than Ben?
- What was troubling her in the opening scene?
- Jack hears his dad through the communications speaker. Merely hallucination?
- Is Mr. Friendly gay?
- Has Kate ever looked hotter than in her new dress?
- Who's the monkey boy in the other cage? You know those Others love plants...
- Does it mean anything that William Mapother (Ethan) wasn't billed as a guest actor, but a regular in the opening credits, while Harold Perrineau (Michael) is clearly absent?
- Will Matty Fox win an Emmy for this episode alone?

All's well in the Lost world if you ask me. In the coming 5-episode mini-series, I hope we stay on this side of the island. Even Locke and Desmond can wait.

LOST Toys to Debut at TRU Times Square

"Touchstone Television, a division of Disney-ABC Television Group, and McFarlane Toys invite fans of the worldwide phenomenon Lost to be among the first to purchase action figures based on their favorite Lost characters. The exclusive signing event will take place at the Toys "R" Us International flagship store in New York City on Monday, November 6, from 4pm to 7pm.

During the event, a principal Lost cast member (to be announced) and McFarlane Toys' creative force and Spawn creator, Todd McFarlane will autograph purchases of Lost Series 1 action figures. This will be a ticketed event and details on the ticketing process will be announced at a later date here on Spawn.com. Autographs will be limited to Lost action figures.

McFarlane Toys' Lost Series 1 captures six compelling characters from the show's first season: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Locke, Charlie and Shannon. This series of six-inch action figures will include a detailed prop reproduction central to each character's story, enabling fans to "own" a piece of the show's mythology. As an added bonus, voice chip technology brings the figures to life with quotes taken directly from classic Lost episodes.

Lost Series 1 will be found in stores nationwide this November."

And so it begins, again.

At long last, LOST returns for 6 episodes before going on some ridiculously-long hiatus and coming back early next year to round out the season. Will Desmond continue to be the coolest character on the show? Will Eko smack Locke? Will Hurley lose some weight? Will (Crazy) Michael and Walt return? Who knows!

All I have to say is that I hope to see this blog explode tomorrow night!
