The LOSTBlog.com Interview: A Retrospective Part II and A Plea from an Irish Fan

As Erin said this morning on Twitter, Happy Lostmas everybody!


As an Irish LOST fan, I can't - unfortunately - join in the viewing party tonight as it won't air here until Thursday (Friday in the UK and as late as next month in some European countries). If the temptation to wait gets too much for me, I might turn to the magical interweb but if not, you won't catch sight nor sound of me until Friday morning. I'll quietly log into the LOSTBlog - blinkered! - post my interviews and sneak out again without talking, reading, watching or communicating with anybody who has already seen the premiere. I have zero willpower when it comes to LOST - my excuse for breaking down and watching those leaked first four minutes was 'The Island made me do it!' - and so my resistance to spoilers would be futile at best.


And so, a plea: please be careful what you tweet.


[Braces self for slew of hate-mail.]


I know a spoiler isn't technically a spoiler after it has aired and it's up to me to avoid them, but it's very hard to avoid seeing tweets. Blogs, podcasts, videos, etc. I can be careful to avoid, but when you're scrolling through your stream on a regular basis it's difficult without completely disconnecting or unfollowing Lost tweeters.


I'm not saying don't tweet about it - I am absolutely NOT saying that! -  just asking that you don't do it in a way that ruins a surprise for those of us who have to wait a few days, and that you only consider it for the premiere. This is the last ever LOST season premiere - sob! - and I'd really like to know as little about it as possible before I watch it, as would - I'm sure - other Irish, UK and European fans.


Of course, this may all be a moot point;  going by my track record I'll be up until 2am with the rest of the world! :-)
