Lots of LOST News in One Update!

As my good friend Samantha announced a few days ago, I’ve been unable to update the blog for the last few weeks due to summer vacation and technical issues with my computer.

Anyway, here’s a list of the biggest LOST news from this month:

1. New Official LOST Viral Marketing Reveals LOST Season 6 Premiere Title

http://damoncarltonandapolarbear.com

Via TV Guide Magazine:

It all started at Comic-Con this summer when comedian Paul Scheer gifted Lost’s exec producers with a wacky velvet painting of themselves with a polar bear. Now the site that goes by the same name is revealing a series of 16 limited-run posters of Lost moments by top artists, released one per week. As a bonus, secret Lost-themed events are popping up world-wide to premiere each one, so keep checking the site for clues to discover if the next poster might be revealed near you. Call it an act of good Dharma.

2. New “ABC House” Promos Featuring Michael Emerson & Josh Holloway

3. LOST Arrives on Hulu and Netflix

In addition to ABC.com, which has offered various “Lost” episodes over the years on its less-than-ideal player, you can now find Season 1 of “Lost” and several Season 5 episodes on the far superior Hulu.com. If you’re a Netflix customer, you can stream all of Seasons 1-4 on that site as well.
