Thanks all! Do miss LOST… bought last Season on DVD but I think I need to watch the previous 5 Season’s (again) before view the last one.

I believe that some time in the near future the creators & writers will get together and start to put together a few big screen movies that will give us more depth about the island and answer some questions in regards to the mysteries… they finished the story for the Oceanic survivors, but they left the door wide open to create whole new chapter for the Island… I do believe that was by design – just my thoughts. Peace!

The length between the seasons is insulting to me lol i just don’t get it. Some of it wasn’t their fault, like with the strike, i think it was almost a year between seasons that time….mean. just mean.

but for the most part, i have no real complaints about the show. Both of my whiney paragraphs above weren’t really due to the writing, or the characters or plot. and regardless of my complaints, it’s still the best show out there. with the exception of The Office of course.

Now if Dwight was on the island, this would just be, like, the greatest show of all time.

Otherwise, we’d have to place the show into the instant gratification genre that we now live in and we would soon forget about in a month! Or rather, we would have LOST interest within a few episodes…

Not trying to pick on you dude (or dudette), but this is one of my pet peaves in life… its the “MEANS” to the end that is the enjoyment of the ride, not just the “END” result! Or just maybe I’m wrong, and we have no free will and all this “in between filler” is just a waste of time – the end is already set in stone – so lets get there already!

Sorry, all… I got to get off this site for awhile…

Chow!

For me, Giacchino is the prime example of a artist that knows his abilities and limitations and is comfortable in his own shell. He has combined his creative talent with his knowledge and experience of the past and tastefully regurgitated it into non-ubtrusive magic! The focus isn’t on him or his score, its just an added tasty appendage of the core “BIG” picture, which is LOST. Sort like when you use beats for elements of your Hip Hop from past bands or different styles of music – its thought provoking and creative – not necessarily completely new but tastful and original in its own way – if all that makes any sense…

Ardent dude,

Image comics were my favourite back in the day when i was a comics geek, never really got into much of Marvel and DCs traditional superhero stuff.

You know Alan Moore the man behind The Watchmen and V For Vendetta also worked on The Maxx briefly.

And on the score for Lost, i agree its amazing. I saw a ‘lost podcast’ where they showed the orchestra and interviewed Giacchino, if i remember correctly he said he doesn’t read the scripts or listen to the dialogue, hes just told what mood to go for which is interesting.

For your info S_f (in case you were unware) The complete series was released on December 17, 2009 exclusively as a DVD-R title available just in Amazon.com, as a “CreateSpace” program of “Burn-On-Demand” DVDs. The 2-disc set includes all 13 episodes plus interviews with creator Sam Kieth & director Gregg Vanzo, and audio commentary on all episodes.

Also, since you seem to enjoy youtube here’s Poois circa 1996 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdpu51rTBE

(for those Exodus fans that’s the lead singer Rob Dukes during his bouncing years to the far right in the white T-shirt)

However, I do remember “the Maxx” TV adaption in ’95 (or so), and I agree they were trying to reinvent themselves for the young audience during those years and some pretty interesting and bizarre non-music video cutting edge shows sprouted up! I still don’t think they should have ran them under MTV though, especially the “Real” World… If we only knew what that show would spawn some 15 years later – ugh!!! The reality show world could not be so far removed from reality… its beyond me how the young or anyone for that matter continues to buy into all that regurgitated corporate design/pattern type pseudo reality show BS…

Anyway, sorry for my digression… I actually have the 1st Issue comic of “the Maxx”, I bought it (along with Spawn & Pitt) when it came out as part of the upstart Image Comics that Todd McFarlane launched in 1992-93. The art work was fantastic, the story lines were original – all the Image Comics at that time were! (on a side note its kind of ironic that McFarlane actually has a hand in the LOST figurine’s from the 1st & 2nd Season).

This is out of leftfield… during my viewing of a few episodes of LOST last night, I was reminded how integral a part Michael Giacchino plays in the series! It’s my belief that without his musical scores (which to me have a direct linkage to Bernard Herrmann & Jerry Goldsmith – old school movie composers…also twighlight zoners) LOST would not be the same show!! He really ratcheted up the legitamacy factor on LOST with his scores – its another background aspect that gives the viewer a feel as if we were watching a full blown movie production. Again, my two-cents for what its worth.

PS – “Unstuck In Time” is my ode to Kurt Vonnegut and his Slaughterhouse-Five novel (and obviously a little tribute to the creators of LOST, and how they have further expanded my mind over the past 5 Seasons…)

I am curious to know if anyone watched the Maxx, as i don’t know anyone in the UK who has apart from friends i showed it to, just to jog your memories…
