deej240z (http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&username=deej240z) writes "“Lost Clip Show” (working title) is scheduled to air as a one time only telecast on Wednesday, February 7, 2007 in the 9:00 - 10:00 PM ET/PT time period.

“Lost” will return and air in its new time period from 10:00 - 11:00 PM ET/PT on this date.

The following are details:
Program Title: “Lost Clip Show” (Working Title)
Network Telecast Date: Wednesday, February 7, 2007 - OTO
Time Period:
9:00 - 10:00 PM Eastern/Pacific
8:00 - 9:00 PM Central
8:00 - 9:00 PM Mountain (standard definition only)

Sounds like a recrap of episodes 1-6. But I will watch it because that is what I do. :biggrin:

WoooHOO! I am not sure why, but this excites me! I guess the more Lost the better and I'll take it anyway I can get it!

yeah, same with me, I am going crazy and driving others crazy too without Lost being on!

It should also act as a bridge for people who tune in at 9 expecting a new show only to find they have to wait another hour. That way the shift isn't so abrupt. As usual with these recaps, it'll be fun parsing out exactly what TPTB decide to leave in and what to leave out.

I'll be watching it, too. :D

Me too! When it turns up on the net. Hopefully not too long after.

Yes this was a good move by ABC to catch fans who routinely tune in at 9pm and direct them towards the new timeslot. I wonder who will narrate?

Good call, Crimson! Wonder when ABC had that attack of common sense! :D

So--an hour-long "Previously, on LOST" an hour before Eppy 7 starts. Got it.

Hope there's lots of Desmond and Skate and Ben/Juliet/Jack in it! (Uh--wait a minute. That's about all there CAN be, isn't it? Except for some Locke & Eko. Never mind! ;))

Oh, yeah. Smart move on ABC's part.

Ha, ha, ha, STH! :D

These things just make the show look stupid. Hopefully they'll make it consistent and name it...

LOST:R**********

Whatever word that starts with a "R" this time. Seems like its always that.

Anyways, why am i saying this? Its so not important...?

I will watch it, of course.
A fix is a fix is a fix. ;)

Bleh. I'd be happy if it were on January 31st. That would feel like Lost coming back one week early, but nooooooooo... has to be on the same damn day. Stupid ABC.

Nah, Remus, it's great that it's at 9pm, as other have said, to bridge the gap from the 9pm to the 10pm time-slot.

I'm excited. I hope Elizabeth Mitchell narrates it. It was so great when Michael Emerson did.

And, of course, if I get to be the one to do it again (I've done it twice so far), I'll be starting a thread about what we think TPTB want us to figure out from the narration and the choice of scenes.

Nah, Remus, it's great that it's at 9pm, as other have said, to bridge the gap from the 9pm to the 10pm time-slot.

Well, aren't you the one to talk, living in the US. I live in bloody Finland, so the gap doesn't matter to me. :p

heh. I generally hate clip shows, but I just have to accept that I am not their target audience for the clip show and let it go. :)

V.v. good point with the timeslot transition. Hoping everyone sticks around. Is there an AI audition episode on against it, though?

lol. again, they aren't so much for the kind of fan that hangs out at the Fuse, I don't think -- WE don't really need to be caught up. It could be good to get the more casual fan back into the show, though.
LOST: Rescheduled?

I'm excited. I hope Elizabeth Mitchell narrates it.

YES YES YES PLEASE LET IT BE ELIZABETH!! :jump1: (sorry i got a little too excited :redface:)


And, of course, if I get to be the one to do it again (I've done it twice so far).


LOL when I first read this I was like, What? Laura never got to narrate a clips show before? :D

LOST: Rescheduled?
Lol. That certainly would fit the pattern!

Elizabeth would rock at the narration. Like Michael, she really can deliver complexity with her speech. Love her.

I'd also be extremely interested to have elizabeth narrate because we would gain insight into Juliets opinions of how the others function.


And OMG I just realised I made a commitment on Feb 7, and I might miss this clips show :wallbash: ( I need to start writing down lost epis in my calender!)

Normally, I despise of clip shows but since it will bridge the gap between 9-10, I'm all for it!!!

Maybe I'll get a :pizza: to celebrate the occasion! :essen:

I'm excited. I hope Elizabeth Mitchell narrates it. It was so great when Michael Emerson did.

ITA - - a Juliet narration would be absolutely DELICIOUS!!! :biggrin:

YES YES YES PLEASE LET IT BE ELIZABETH!! :jump1: (sorry i got a little too excited :redface:)

Ha! :laugh: You're funny, Pen.

No, no, the *thread*.... :biggrin:

I'll spend some time this weekend and next watching the first 6 episodes of S3. Of course I'll be watching the clip show. It's been so long that I'll watch the clip show just because I Need My Lost!

According to deej240z at lost-media (http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2277) the show is now titled "Lost Survivor Guide".

I guess the "guide" part is a signal that it's the jump on point for potential new viewers. I'm thinking it may not be structured as a traditional recap show, with clips and narration, but maybe video packages: "These are the Others", "This is Kate, Jack and Sawyer", etc.

And, yes, I would love it if Elizabeth did the narration, too. :heart:

Wasn't there already a Lost special entitled Lost survior guide? Some of the footage was included in the S2 dvd extras.

Hmm.... something makes me think it was the Lost Survival Guide. But maybe I'm wrong.
Either way, they have to add in the new stuff from S3.
But it's common for recap type shows to reuse format/narration. At least with Grey's, you can see three recaps and the first half of all of them will be the same.

Just checked, it was 'lost a tale of survival', perhaps to lead into the title 'a tale of two cities'

Didn't know Grey's had recap epi's.

Oh, right.

I don't know if they do anymore, but they did last year. One was narrated by the bartender. Joe, I think is his name. Similiar style to Lost's recaps. It's definitely a new method that ABC is using on their hit shows, to get new viewers and catch people up. Pretty sure they do it for DH, too. Narrated by the woman who killed herself.

Oh yeah I have seen a desperate housewives recap once, I guess it is standard issue for ABC hit shows nowadays.

Here's the official ABC description of this. Darlton is hosting!!!

ABC once again invites new and avid Lost viewers to take another look at one of the most talked about and critically acclaimed shows. Lost Survivor Guide will explore the series in a way that will bring new viewers up to date -- but which current viewers will also find illuminating in anticipation of the return of the second act of the series third season. From the back stories of some of the most interesting characters on television to the mysteries of the island, Lost Survivor Guide will provide an insightful glimpse into the lives of some of the survivors of the doomed Oceanic Airlines flight 815. Hosted by Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof (also a co-creator of the show) and Carlton Cuse, the special will be told in a linear fashion, culminating from pieces of the back stories revealed over multiple episodes in the series, Lost Survivor Guide focuses on the flashbacks of a core of characters -- illustrating who they were and what they were doing before the crash, and how the island has changed their lives, for better or worse. In addition, the island itself will be explored culled from events that have taken place which may reveal some of its secrets that might have been missed upon first viewing.

I don't mean to sound cynical but let me guess--Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke? Oh, and Desmond if we're lucky. That may just make it worth my while, but barely. :undecide: I hope to be proven wrong.

yeah does that sounds like a lot to put into one hour, unless it's only 2-3 characters plus the island. But it will be interesting to see what nuggets Darlton gives us!

Well, I'm sure that any FB information or heavy focus on characters will be those who will be figuring in heavily to ep 3x07. That will be:
Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Ben, Juliet and maybe Alex.
Interesting that Darlton are going to host. That's a bit unexpected and should be interesting. It sounds like it'll be pretty different than a typical narration. I'm sure we'll actually see DL and CC talking, not just voiceovers (like we had with Michael Emerson.) Otherwise a random viewer would be like "who are these two voices? Beavis and Butthead?"
:rotflmao:

I would love to see B&B narrate LOST! :24:

This sounds a lot like the other recap show that Darlton did...was it called "Lost Survival Guide" (or something like that)? I know this one will be new, though (I think). But note that they are apparently using only footage already aired. So it sounds like a podcast with footage (LOL).

So this is also meant to get new viewers on board, can you imagine if your first impression of Lost was Darlton talking on a podcast, I would be like WTH, is this a comedy?!? Why are they giving away all the answers? There's zombies on the show?!? :D

Ok "Darlton" gets added to the Dictionary

Interesting... if this works, maybe they could run stuff like it during the potential May to January '08 hiatus to keep people occupied.

I think Darlton also wants everyone on the same page not only in terms of plot but what certain plot elements are supposed to mean so when the brain frying moment goes down later this scene we'll be able to survive. :biggrin:

And this is just speculation, but I wonder if...

perhaps the brain frying moment is going to be off Island and Penny discovering Damon and Carlton filming a TV show called LOST. Heh.

ETA:
I think their hostng will be more like the way they do the bonus features on the DVDs than like the podcast.

I think they'll just be voiceovers, as recraps have done all along. Sorry.

Oh, and Desmond if we're lucky.
Well, it IS to be hoped! :biggrin:

Well, I think it will be very interesting to get the official Darlton spin on these characters. I know that we all have our own way of fewing them, and their motives. I guess that Darlton feels the need to set us straight about their intentions for these characters before they can proceed with the rest of the season.

B&B! :24::24:

They actually have hosted a special before. That was the Lost Survival Guide that aired before the season kicked off, I think. They were awesome! And Jimmy Kimmel was there too. It can be downloaded from Lost Media.

Thanks, Remus. I am not sure how, but it seems that I missed that one. I am trying to download it now.

Be so funny if someone set the vidoe or whatever and got the clips show. Nooooooooooo! :D

Damon's laugh is so Butthead. I think that during every podcast.

Yup, that's why I said B&B. It reminds me of them so much when I'm listening!

Ok "Darlton" gets added to the Dictionary

Hey Sam are you part of the Darlton group, check Jennylee's signature!

Pen, no I'm not but like the Leaggue of NATIONS, I will be stopping by. I don't think I can handle another number.

as long as you post! That's the most important thing :)

I really can't see Carlton and Damon being serious together. Not after listening to podcasts. I wonder how long it took them to do this, since they seem to get off track as soon as someone mentions the word 'pants'. :rolleyes:

Carlton does have a good voice for narration, though not so much for Damon IMO.

Hence why Carlton says "Previously on Lost" and not Damon.
Can you imagine if he did???? Ha! :lol2:

Damon: You know, previously, you know, on Lost. Heh heh heh.

Oh, and I soooo :heart: Damon.

Damon: You know, previously, you know, on Lost. Heh heh heh.

Oh, and I soooo :heart: Damon.

:laughing: poor Damon, he will get a job as a voiceover guy!!

According to deej240z at Lost-Media (http://www.lost-media.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2316), the "Lost Survivor Guide" will be available for download at ABC.com and Yahoo! on Tuesday!

Cool! Good to know!

Only 3 days to go, and I'm already having palpatations!!!!

I didn't know Yahoo had videos, will have to check it out, thanks CR!

I'll watch on TV. Me and my spaghetti will be there at 8pm Central, sharp! :biggrin:

Damon: You know, previously, you know, on Lost. Heh heh heh.

Oh, and I soooo :heart: Damon.


LOL, aww Damon. :crush:


That'll be interesting. But I can't imagine cutting to CC and DL inbetween clips... that would interrupt the flow of the clip show, wouldn't it? Or is there a detail I'm forgetting here?

Looks like we wont have to wait until Wednesday to see this: (http://www.movieweb.com/tv/news/70/17470.php)

Dedicated to expanding its network and channel brands across multiple platforms and connecting viewers with their favorite shows anytime and anywhere, Disney-ABC Television Group announced that it is giving viewers a chance to watch the Lost Survivor Guide prior to its network premiere, beginning TUESDAY, FEB. 6 on ABC.com (http://abc.com/) and Yahoo! TV (tv.yahoo.com (http://tv.yahoo.com/)).

I think it may already be up at ABC to watch.

I think it may already be up at ABC to watch.

Nope. Not yet, I checked.:frown:
Probably won't show up until later in the morning or afternoon.

I'll still wait for Wednesday night. But you early birds have gotta post your thoughts on the thing!

Still no news about this clip show? :confused:

Is this going to be an average clip show? I heard that there will be interviews from D&C?

Interviews would be awesome. I really hope that's true!

Has anybody found this thing? I thought it was supposed to be up by now. :frown:

It is up...
http://tv.yahoo.com/lost/show/36617;_ylt=A0WTRjE3G8lFBhMAjw6Ao9EF
It will play in the screen at the upper right...

There's another thread where I believe steveman16 and Ovation posted this link...

Thanks Tabby, now do I watch right now or wait for everyone tomorrow hmmm

Cool. Found it. Watching now. :)

In the middle of watching it. What a great guide to the show. Damon and Carlton really are acting as tour guides for newbies and for the hardcores, too. They're comments are more about interpreting the show than recapping the plot. Won't say anymore... definitely must see tv.

Yeah, I think it's really well done.
Nothing spoilery, anyone can watch it even if they haven't read any spoilers or seen any previews for the rest of the season.
I would hate to be a newbie coming to this show, though. Not because they don't make the storyline clear. They do a really good job of that. But because so many surprises from S1&S2 (like that Locke was in a wheelchair and that Desmond is in the hatch) are revealed in the course of a 1 second, vs. over a whole episode or a whole season. heh. But it's a well put-together clip show. I enjoyed it.

Sounds great, Crimson! Looking forward to watching Darlton jabber and eating my spaghetti tomorrow at 8-9pm! :D

They aren't as Darlton-esque as usual. It's definitely toned down. But they are still cute together.

Yeah it's interesting that they are releasing this summary online a day before it airs, is this a new strategy to help gain more viewers? I don't think they've done this before with a summary show.

I think they are just trying to be aware of how important the internet is to the show, and tv in general nowadays. If they give people a chance to watch it online the day before, rather than compete with AI at 9pm tomorrow, then they might get some new viewers at 10pm.

And from what I've read at other sites, a lot of LOST fans are NOT gonna be watching the recrap. They'll watch AI, then switch to ABC and watch the LOST eppy. They may have done this simply to give these viewers the chance to see the recrap show and still see AI.

Seems like network TV in general has just bowed at the feet of AI, vowing to let them have their hour on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The competition has given up. And given the juggernaut AI is, that's the wisest strategy. Why waste money or time trying to beat what cannot be beaten? :shrug:

I'm glad LOST has dodged the bullet!

Oh yes that's true about the clips show, it will also be beaten down by AI.

A clip show just isn't a clip show without Peter Coyote.

I'll probably watch the clip show, although watching AI's best of the worst show is tempting!!

Is there a thread to talk about survivor guide, should we just do it here?

Doesn't look like Karri started a forum for it, so I guess here.

Kyle McLachlan!

They definitively said the Island is in the South Pacific.

I missed part of this line, but did they say that part of the reason they are on the island is to deal with the issues that had before they were on the island. (I think they've touched on this in previous interviews as well but I though I heard it here as well)

The island manifests things from their past to help them overcome them.

Kyle McLachlan!
thank you!! that was driving me crazy....
They definitively said the Island is in the South Pacific.that was the most interesting find of the show

What's this about Kyle McLachlan?

Oh... the narrator! Hmm... Twin peaks cross-casting, er, narrating.

ETA: Karri's opened up a forum for the Survivors Guide.

What's this about Kyle McLachlan?He's narrating the show... Couldn't put a face on the voice....

Oh that's brilliant! He sounded so familiar, yet I don't associate his voice with Lost :D

That was Kyle McLachlan? How random!

Oh it's not random at all, Kyle Mclachlan was the star of the best serialised tv show before Lost, "Twin Peaks" TPTB have paid quite a lot of hommage to Twin Peaks and have also learned from that show's mistakes.

Oh, ha. I only know him from Sex and the City. I'm a moron. ;)

Oh, ha. I only know him from Sex and the City. I'm a moron. ;)


He's quite interesting on Desperate Housewives, too.

He's quite interesting on Desperate Housewives, too.

Oh yeah I love his character on Desperate Housewives, it's one of the main reasons I'm interested in that show again!

Oh, ha. I only know him from Sex and the City. I'm a moron. ;)

You were probably just a bit too young to watch Twin Peaks, I think I was only about 10 when it aired. But if you ever want to see another Lost-like show give it a try, it's more abstract and a bit more scary then Lost, but you can definitely see how Twin Peaks paved the road for Lost.
