In case you hadn't heard “LOST” fans recently won a battle against the President! Worried that the State of the Union (SOTU) address would take place on the same night as “LOST's” season premier “LOST” fans took to their Twitter and Facebook pages and generally expressed their outrage all over the net. Apparently that worked. Someone from ABC radio asked Press Secretary Robert Gibbs during a recent press conference about the situation and Gibbs said the SOTU would not happen on that night. Secretary Gibbs added “I assume it’s a big deal at ABC." You assume CORRECT big guy! So we win! Good job “LOST” fans.
So what's next then? If we can make the leader of the United States back down we can really make stuff happen. I know we shouldn't let the power go to our heads (no one wants Ben Linus syndrome) but really, let's not stop here. And apparently I'm not the only person who feels that way. Someone has started a petition to convince The Walt Disney Co. that they should build a “LOST” attraction at their amusement park. (I'm not certain as to whether this is for Disneyland, World, or any other Disney park. It does not say. But who cares?)
I heard about this on ew.com and I must copy and paste a bit from the article for you here: "Specifically, they think the company’s Imagineers should renovate Tom Sawyer Island (which no one really gives a flying Huck Finn about, anyway) and turn into…The Island. Just imagine: Interactive Dharma Stations! Jacob’s Haunted Shack! Michael’s Exploding Raft! Leslie Artz’s Insect House! PLUS: Animatronic polar bears, boars and Hurley birds! An all-you-can-eat buffet at the Dharma Palette Drop! And do you dare journey into The Temple’s ancient crack and confront your inner demons within…Smokey’s Court of Judgment?!?" - Doc Jensen, ew.com
What a mind blowing idea right?! I mean there's not much I can think of that would keep me from visiting a “LOST” attraction like that. I pray the Swan Station would exist simply so I could go see the ticking clock and press the button and SAVE THE WORLD!!! I, of course, signed the petition. I hope you do too, and here's where you go: http://www.petitiononline.com/lostdisn/petition.html.
You can also read the entire ew.com article I read here: http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/01/12/lost-attraction-at-disneyland-fans-say-prettyprettyplease/
Doc Jensen is a staff writer for Entertainment Weekly and he is my absolute favorite “LOST” columnist/blogger. He writes an article before and after every episode and also some in between. He does a lot of the Internet searching so we don't have to. So get yourself familiar with Doc. He and a buddy even post a video every week, or they did. I hope they return to their Internet series "Totally Lost."
Three weeks from today the final season of “LOST” begins! On a side note I also find out if I'm having a boy or a girl that day and I honestly can not decide what I'm more excited for on February 2nd! “LOST” vs. boy/girl! I can't decide!
Namaste!
