@Loster21's Tweets O' the Day from April 27, 2010

Good day all!  What did you think of the enhanced version of Ab Aeterno last night?  Besides loving it, because, of course, it was an episode of LOST.  Even though they’re swamped, LOST production did get a few tweets in yesterday.  The first one came from the beloved tweeting LOST editor Mark Goldman, who has been missing from, and missed by, Twitter lately:

mjgoldman - Hey twitterverse. Poking my head up to say: Super, super busy on Finale. We've 7 days to do what should take about 4 weeks. But we'll do it. 10:09 AM Apr 27th

I sent him a tweet on Monday to see if he and Assistant Editor David Eisenberg were still planning on tweeting live during Ab Aeterno; here’s his reply:

mjgoldman - @Loster21 Unlikely we'll be able to tweet during ep 2morrow; we prob. be re-cutting, viewing w/ prods, re-cutting again, repeat ad nauseum 10:12 AM Apr 27th in reply to Loster21

mjgoldman - @Loster21 In other words, we'll be watching a different episode till midnite - one we won't tweet about no matter how hard you beg 10:14 AM Apr 27th in reply to Loster21

What a tease!  And wait, it gets worse:

mjgoldman - Hard to cut a show with all the space ships, volcanoes, and marriages of a man and frozen yogurt 10:17 AM Apr 27th

Argh!  Spoilers!  I am, of course, joking.  As was he:

mjgoldman - Oh - those aren't in the show! They've just been going on in Burbank, CA. Lava gumming up the editing machines etc. Sorry for any confusion 10:19 AM Apr 27th

Some fan reactions:

YaGottaBKiddnMe - @mjgoldman Somehow, knowing someone has seen the finale & knows exactly how it all ends makes it feel more real :( #dontgolostdontgo #lost 10:25 AM Apr 27th in reply to mjgoldman

jeffc1018 - @mjgoldman woohoo! Go go go! You can do it!!!!! 10:39 AM Apr 27th in reply to mjgoldman

We also heard from Carlton and Damon:

CarltonCuse - Heading back into a cozy-sized editing room after lunch: me, DL, 4 editors and 3 assistants. It is a good thing we all like each other. 2:18 PM Apr 27th

DamonLindelof - Unsung heroes of the finale -- The Editors! Goldman, Semel, Nelson and Van Eeghan. I am honored to huddle in a dark room with them. about 22 hours ago

Hey, that first name there looks familiar… and I love this fan’s reply:

jeffc1018 - @DamonLindelof and wearing pants! about 22 hours ago in reply to DamonLindelof

WOO HOO!  Our favorite on-studio-site photographer, Assistant Editor Chris Braun, tweeted a pic of that magic box special room:

cbfromla - Lost finale editing behind that door. http://twitpic.com/1izvx6 about 20 hours ago

OK, yes, it’s the outside of the room, but still, isn’t it SO COOL?!  Thanks Chris!

Despite all of the horrible sadness of the fans, one castmember’s wife (who was a castmember herself) is happy that at least the acting part is over:

Carrie_Preston - I got Michael back from the island's grip! I'm stupid happy. about 18 hours ago

So glad that Ben’s mom Ben’s wife Michael’s wife is happy!

And here’s a fan who isn’t devastated that it’s ending:

tomwilson23 - I will be glad when Lost ends. My perception of numbers, black smoke, doctors, islands & the danger of plane crashes have all changed. 10:36 AM Apr 27th

He also wasn’t too broken up about last night’s episode being not entirely new:

tomwilson23 – … I'm estatic they took a break, I needed one. A great chance to draw breathe before the final run of eps. 12:31 PM Apr 27th 

And this was retweeted A LOT:

LOST_BOSS - Retweet this if you love #LOST and will treasure every minute of this last season, even tonight's encore of Ab Aeterno. #truth 1:48 PM Apr 27th

Several people were unhappy, however, with last night’s episode not being entirely new, even though Carlton tweeted the explanation yesterday:

Jacobim_Mugatu - Twitter is ablaze with indignant #Lost viewers tonight. about 20 hours ago

5States - What kind of lousy Tuesday doesn't have a new episode of #Lost? This is terrible. 6:30 AM Apr 27th

mcklowry - The kind of Tuesday we will experience for the rest of our lives. @5States What kind of lousy Tuesday doesn't have a new episode of #Lost? 6:53 AM Apr 27th

YOWIE!  Did you HAVE to go THERE?

Some people used their imaginations as a coping skill:

To finish it off today, when will everyone be watching the finale?

I think I’ll be watching live along with my friends via http://LOSTblog.com/lostchat but nothing’s set for sure yet.  Let me see those tweets, I’d love to know what people are planning.

Thanks as always to all of you who tweeted, and I’m sorry if I missed YOUR awesome LOST tweet.  Make sure to use the #LOST hashtag, you never know when I’ll be watching the #LOST stream.  See you on Twitter, and here on LOSTblog.  Namaste.
