LOST Spoilers - The ODI

Hey All.
It is that time of year again!! San Diego Comic Con 09 (SDCC09) is little over a month away!!

If you still do not know what SDCC is, then let me give you a quick update. SDCC is largest comic book convention, but it is more of a TV/Movie/SciFi Fans dream world. Networks and studios have booths and panels to promote their old and new shows and movies.

So of course LOST will be represented and this year is promised to be HUGE. This is the last year for LOST at Comic Con (yes that was hard to type), but Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse promise something "special" for the fans.

In previous years they have provided us with sneak peeks and special Dharma Initiative videos and last year they gave a special prize to each person that asked a question. Matthew Fox was with Darlton last year and there was the Dharma Initiative booth that launched the FAILED ORG ARG, but because of that booth myself and several other Losties were lucky enough to meet and chat with them up close and personal!!

This year my guess is they will be doing something similar with out the Dharma Booth. The panel is indeed scheduled for Saturday, but this year it will be at 11AM and it will be in the huge Hall H again that seats 6,500 (I hear they are expanding it). There will most likely be at least 1 panel at 10AM before LOST, but you will have to sit through that to get a good seat for the LOST Panel.

Last year it was also the second panel and several of you out there braved the early morning hours to hang out and have fun while waiting in line. If you are planning to visit SDCC again this year, I will be there again live blogging and tweeting not only the LOST events but anything and everything else!!

I would love to hang with you all again!! I would say one of the best parts of the weekend is actually getting to meet everyone so I am really looking forward to it all. Tickets are unfortunately sold out, but if you are one of the lucky few that have tickets, then do not forget it is from July 23rd to 26th, with a preview night on Wed the 22nd.

As I mentioned, I will be blogging live for both The ODI and DarkUFO during the LOST events and then for SpoilerTV for other shows and movies. Of course I can not do this all by myself, so if you want to help out with the taking pictures, video tapping, blogging or tweeting or just want to hang out please let us know!!

Please email me at: mrtheodi@gmail.com

More information to follow as we get closer to the event, but here are a few helpful links and a video from waiting in line last year!!

NOTE: Sites will be updated over the next month so keep checking for new updates.

Hey All,
With the TV off-season in full swing and the number of readers continuing to grow we have decided to take the little time available during the off season to update and change the site a bit.

We are currently in the process of creating a new more sleek design with better menus, features, and colors that should help improve the organization and look of the site.

Of course the site would not exist if you all out there were not reading it, so we want to get some feedback from all of you out there! The LOST and Heroes pages are the most popular parts of the site, but the new TV Spoilers page is growing steadily and covers several other popular shows. We will be improving the Chat Page and will also be adding a "Fun Zone" for fan fiction/art, polls, contests and more!!

Below is a poll asking what browser you use to view the site. With so many different options available we want to do our best that the new design will be ideal for our readers and the browsers they are using.

Also, here is a list of few questions asking about the site, your answers and feedback will be vital in helping to improve the site. Please do not waste our time with BS answers like your "Site Sucks!!". This is a free site and any little ad revenue we get is put right back into the site for hosting accounts. If you do not like the site and are not willing to be respectful and help then please do not visit.

If you would like to help out then please provide some feedback below, here are the questions:

1) What is the one thing about The ODI that keeps you coming back for more?
2) If you could change one thing about TheODI, what would it be?
3) What would you like to see more of from TheODI?
4) What would you like to see less of from TheODI?
5) Any other comments/suggestions.

Thanks to NoOne for the heads up.

Question: I'm pretty sure I saw you at the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn last weekend. You're even cuter in person! With that said, can you give me anything on Lost? --Sean
Ausiello: I was hoping I'd have an excuse to run this question, and my prayers were answered last night when this piece of scoop fell in my lap: Contrary to what a loose-lipped agency assistant Twittered yesterday, no deals are in place for any season 1 Lost alums to return for the show's sixth and final season. That said, I can confirm that Team Darlton is checking the availability of several MVPs. My guess: We'll get the official scoop on who's returning at Comic-Con next month.

Hey All,
We just posted some images and clips from a Matthew Fox Interview from the Monte Carlo TV Festival.

Well the interview has several little minor spoilers and tidbits about season 6. Nothing too shocking, but still some interesting details. Fox, once again confirmed that he knows the end of the show and this time I got the sense he knows it really well.

Here is a little summary of the tidbits:

1) He knew that in that Jack and Locke would have to go head to head quite a bit in Season 6. Now if he is talking about the real Locke or Darth Locke who knows? At least we will get a good dose of Terry O' Quinn.
2) The opening scene in Season 6 will confirm what happened in the Season 5 Finale and that it will be both confusing and surprising at first.
3) About a third of the way through the season both time lines will be "solidified into one time" and there will be one linear time throughout the story on the island with no more flashbacks.
4) When describing the end of the show he uses several different adjectives and confirms talking to Damon Lindelof many times and that each time he does that it is surprising that it is so "moving". Some of the words he uses are Beatiful, Redemptive, Sad and ends with saying it is just Awesome!

You can view the clips on the front page at the following link:

Ok for most of you that have kept up to speed on all the spoilers, the return of Claire is not too shocking, but it is good to hear that LOST producers confirm once again the Emilie De Ravin will return as a "Series regular" in Season 6!!

So for all of you Claire fans that have been waiting for her patiently, well guess what just about another 8 months and you will finally get to see a good deal of her again.

Thanks to Ausiello from EW for the tidbit where you can find some theories on how she might return.

So what do you think!?

Here is a little article where LOST writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse talk about what type of plot details they plan to answer before the series finale. Nothing too shocking, but they will confirm the significance of the 4-Toed Statue, what the Smoke Monster really is, and who the skeletons in the caves are.

Enjoy!!

LOST Writers Damon and Carlton Hint at Series Finale

Lost masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have been dropping hints about how the show will end next spring.

Among the mysteries unravelled in the very last episode will be the significance of the four-toed statue, what the Smoke Monster really is and who the skeletons in the cave were.

(We reckon Egyptian fertility goddess Taweret, conscience and Penny & Desmond respectively, for what it's worth!)

Says Cuse: "The end of the show will be a combination of trying to answer mysteries the audience still cares about, such as the statue and the Smoke Monster.

"We'll also be answering the skeletons in the cave question. We will answer the questions we feel are important and central to the plot.

"At the same time we will be trying to tell redemption stories about the characters. These characters do indeed have a destiny.
