Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly) Speaks on the Future of TV
From a recent contribution by Joss Whedon to tv.com regarding the future of television. First, on great series:
Lost has that one-of-a-kind alchemy that really can’t be copied. Therefore, look for the original series Misplaced, as well as Unfound, Not So Much with the Whereabouts and Just Pull Over and Ask!
And technology:
TiVo, iPods, streaming video — the way we watch TV is changing dramatically. It’s on our phones, in our cars — even projected on specialized eyeglasses. But don’t listen to the talk about having shows beamed directly into your brain. That’s science-fiction nonsense. Shows will be stored in the pancreas and will enter the brain through the bloodstream after being downloaded into your iHole.
He hints to the evolution of Firefly but for that you’ll have to read the article.
Lost Thought
Oh man! The very character’s names have hidden meaning. Thanks to Misguided Thoughts. Naturally we’ve looked for the meaning in the names before. I just had not put Locke and Rousseau together.
Lost Thought
The Lost Blog poses an interesting question, “Why is Locke so interested in Sawyer’s name??” with a possible connection to Locke’s father.
Lost Fans! The sweat stains tell all!
Shannon’s shirt is for sale on eBay. Since auctions come and go so quickly, I’ve saved a copy. I guess we can say “Shannon Lost the shirt off her back.”
More on Firefly Season 2
Joss Whedon has never heard of Ace Underhill.
Underhill said in an interview: “If [Joss] contacts me and says, ‘Hey, we’re not interested in Firefly anymore’ or ‘I’m not interested in Firefly anymore,’ then I will abandon the project
Underhill wants to do a pay per view model. That would be downloads to video ipod, pay per view television, etc. That model concerns me that the success would be limited.
Underhill added that he has contacted members of the Firefly/Serenity cast and had received a few rate quotes from agents, but he declined to say who. He acknowledged that he had not yet heard from Firefly/Serenity star Nathan Fillion.
The Browncoats have a discussion on this topic. Could be Underhill is just trying, and successfully, to get press for his company. I mentioned Underhill’s effort on Jan 23. See other Firefly posts.
Which way did he go? Following Lost (Jorge Garcia)
I was tickled to see Hurley (Jorge Garcia) on Becker last night! On Becker he played Hector Lopez (2003-2004).
Looks like he’s scored himself a movie for 2006! Sweetzer is a comedy that was in post-production on Sept 7 2005. Jorge gets third billing as the character Sergio.
Wow! Lost has done him well for the talk show scene.

Lost Tidbits
tidbit – That’s a cool word!
It wouldn’t be a day without some reference to Lost. I found what claims to be the transcriptions of the whispers! Pretty cool. This link surfaced in a review on Ray Camden’s site.
Countdown!
Lost in 15 minutes!
Lost’s Biggest Mystery
In February we learn ‘why is Hurley still fat?’ after 50 days on the island!
In an e-mail, co-creator/executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse gave this teasing reply:”Hurley’s inability to lose any significant weight, like many other things on the island, is shrouded in mystery. That mystery, however, will be definitively solved during February sweeps… well, as definitively as anything ever gets solved on ‘Lost,’ anyway.”
Lost Theory
I didn’t see real spoilers in this theory but it certainly is thought provoking. The author substantiates his theory about the Lost island with information that can be confirmed through Google.
UPDATE: Apparently Digg picked up on this one and the server is temporarily down.
Wednesdays, my favorite worst day
Wednesdays are Lost
Work is Lost to the children’s needs
Lost as a taxi service
Preschool, preschool, high school, STAR
Time Lost to the kids is precious
On Wednesdays I am in paradise, Lost
In the island of my mind, I am Lost
Lost in self-flagellation and meditation
I so look forward to Wednesdays
My favorite times have always been Lost times
I would not trade my Lost Wednesdays for anything
Best of all, Wednesdays end with Lost
“I can’t do this all on my own. No, I know, I’m no Superman!“
Get Free Cable
I’m looking for the small print. XOrbit puts a piece of equipment in your house to monitor cable signal strength. In return, they pay you $75/mth. Considering I want to monitor the signal strength anyway, sounds like a good deal!
Could THIS be why Firefly was cancelled?!
Now this is television!
NEW YORK (AP) — More than a decade after 16-year-old Amy Fisher had a sexual relationship with a much-older car mechanic and shot his wife in the face, the one-time “Long Island Lolita” and Joey and Mary Jo Buttafuoco have agreed to appear together in a televised reunion.
