LOSTies on Twitter got a real treat last night when LOST editors Mark Goldman (mjgoldman) and David Eisenberg (davidAKAice) live tweeted during the Pacific time zone feed of the new episode last night, “Happily Ever After.” If you haven’t seen this week’s episode you may want to wait to read any further until after you do so, because this is FULL OF LAST NIGHT’S NEW EPISODE SPOILERS, as well as some great insights, behind-the-scenes info, and some choice winks and nods. I usually wait until after the UK feed each week to post anything on the new episode, but this couldn’t wait because it is just so great. My notes are in italics like this and are only there to give a scene or commercial reference. Otherwise you should be able to figure out exactly where they are in the episode based on their tweets, especially if this fantastic episode is engrained on your brain like it is on mine. Starting with the announcement before the episode:
mjgoldman - if we get home from work in time @davidakaice and I will live tweet during the west coast feed. If not, it'll be tape delay . . .
davidAKAice - This episode has inspired me to tweet live for the west coast...#LOST so so epic! davidAKAice - Just drove 100mph to get home in time for the live tweet. If I dissappear it's because the cops have knocked down my door and hauled me offOf course when he started, Dancing With the Stars was still on:
