I'm waiting on my publisher to upload some final pages for me to proof for our August issue. Perfect time to blog. Let's Dish!
1. I have been like a giddy little Fan Girl with all the good "Lost" news coming out of Comic Con. If you're a fan, go here (ew.com) for all the great coverage. But here's a sum-up of the good stuff. SPOILER ALERT if you're a spoiler-phobe, but more like TEASES really.
Carlton Cuse & Damon Lindelof (the "Lost" Gurus -- and no, J.J. Abrams should not get the credit. These two are the MEN who do it all) did a panel and revealed these AWESOME teases:
- Suggested the timeline was changed by Juliet banging on the H-Bomb. They illustrated the possibility by showing spoof commercials of Hurley endorsing Mr. Cluck's and America's Most Wanted hunt for a still-at-large Kate. I've been thinking the plane never crashed, but the peeps that were touched by Jacob (Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Hurley, Jin, Sun and Sayid) will be have the memories of what happened WHEN the plan crashed and be called back to the Island to help Jacob.
- Juliet and Faraday will appear in Season 6!!!! Elizabeth Mitchell was interviewed and said she feels like the fans brought Juliet back, because they were so crushed by the season finale (that would be me, bawling like a BABY!). I think we'll see Juliet living her old life, never even coming to the Island to begin with, (in the new time line), but perhaps the people who were touched by Jacob will remember the alternate history. Meaning, Sawyer will have these memories of being with Juliet, but she will never remember knowing him at all. That will open it up so that she only "appears" and can be free to go do her "V" show. Leaving Sawyer open to shack up with Kate (BOO!). Whatever the reasoning, I just hope that means Juliet is alive!
- We'll get Guyliner Richard's backstory. I think he came to the Island on the Black Rock.
- We won't be getting more Dharma Initiative focus. That was really focused on in Season 5. Each of the seasons mirror another. 2 & 5 were very Dharma focused. 3 & 4 were very Ben/Whidmore and the time travel focused. 1 & 6 will mirror each other being more about jungle adventure, redemption, emotional ressonance and asscence of discovery. This was deliberate and makes me VERY happy. I loved season 1 and can't wait to get back to that in season 6.
- Jacob has never assumed the identity of someone else dead (i.e. Christian, Claire). And I'm thinking that the Dark Dude (Jacob's enemy) didn't either. The only person he did that too was Locke since he was the Loophole.
- Directly from EW: "In an attempt to prove that they (Carlton & Damon) haven't been writing the series on the fly, the producers locked the final page of the series finale script in a box, and said that the box would be opend on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the night that the series finale airs. When Josh Holloway (Sawyer) came on the stage, he tasers Lindelof and forced Cuse to open the box. Michael Emerson (Benry) did a dramatic reading of the page, which turned out to be... a scene from Heroes."
- Not in the panel, but promoting another show, Ian Somerhalder (Boone) said he is appearing in season 6. I really am thinking my new timeline theory is right!
- There's also some good pictures and videos to check out. My favorite is when Michael Ausiello from EW interviews Richard, Ben and Hurley. He asks them who Kate should end up with and Michael Emerson (Benry) deadpans that she should just find a new guy, because she ruins everyone she's with. Nestor Carbonell (Richard) suggests she ruin him. Freckles + Guyliner living in a tree...
Not related to Comic Con, but Matthew Fox (Jack) was interviewed at a TV convention in Monte Carlo and he revealed some teases/spoilers. He said the Locke and Jack would have a final showdown, so I'm hoping somehow Locke isn't really dead.
Late Night Addition (11:54 p.m. on Thursday): Charlie will be back for 3 episodes!!!!
Sigh... I can't believe I have to wait until January!
2. Anyone out there "Saved By the Bell" fans? I watched it mostly because my younger sibs, Jimmy and Jennie, were OBSESSED with it. But I fully admit. I loved it. They are having their 20 year anniversary and are on the cover of the new People magazine (minus Screech who is probably off making more sex tapes. Ew!). They all look amazing. They haven't aged at all. And Mario Lopez really is a hottie.
It all started when Jimmy Fallon (a huge fan) pushed a reunion for the 20th anniversary. He started getting cast members to agree starting with Mr. Belding, who of course agreed, because what else is he doing? There was an amusing appearance of Mark Paul Gosselaar AS Zack Morris promoting MPG's legal drama. My favorite part was when the band Zack Attack performed. MPG looks EXACTLY the same. Check it out here:
Another funny bit has come out from Tiffany Thiessen (minus the Amber) who is the only person that hasn't committed to Jimmy Fallon's reunion. I think this is all tongue and cheek and she'll definitely show up. Can't wait!!!
Oooh, pages are up. I'm sure there's a lot more to Dish on, but that's it for this week!

I loved Saved by the Bell. I never was in Mario at the time, but now, I get it. I was always a Zach fan and still am. And, I always wished I was Tiffany Theissen. She had it all: the boys fighting over her, she was a cheerleader, a cool place to hang out etc.
Ian Somerhalder is my celebrity crush, so I really hope he comes back. We've been watching season 1 (I didn't get into it until season 3) and the way he dies! I'm so torn on Locke now. And I LOVED "Saved by the Bell." I will totally be reading this "People."
