4/4/09 ~ Unfotunately, as you can see from the last news item date below, I haven't been updating this site. I adopted a child and became a single parent last year, and quite frankly, stopped watching a lot of 'prime time' television, including Lost ~ I haven't watched a single episode this season. I am not going to take this site down, because it is a great show, and I did do a lot of work on the site. Unfortunately, I've lost so much time with the show, I really don't think I can do it justice right now, but I do hope to 'catch-up' and work on the site in the future. I hate going to sites that obviously haven't been updated forever, so I wanted to address this. Thanks for coming by, and please check out the other sites in the SolitaryPhoenix domain, and the message board; if I start updating this site again, I will note it there as well.
Lost will end after it's next season, due to start in January 2010

ABC Studios, which produces the ABC SF drama Lost, has quietly started re-negotiations with stars Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly to beef up their paychecks, currently at about $150,000 per episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
But word of the talks leaked out by Aug. 8, prompting representatives for some of the other regulars to call the studio to open their own re-negotiations.
The majority of the Lost supporting players are paid in the $80,000-90,000-per-episode range, the trade paper reported.

4/10/2008 || EW.com || Lost: Secrets from the Set!
Life on the Oahu set of Lost isn't always a day at the beach. On this sweltering March afternoon, for example, ABC's cult hit about castaways on a time-warped tropical isle has chosen to shoot in...a rock quarry. Amount of fun currently being had: Zero. The horses are jumpy from machine-gun fire. Executive producer Jack Bender is directing with an ice pack to his face after walking into a crane. And Michael Emerson — a.k.a. Benjamin Linus, the show's villainous über-Other — is broiled, thanks to his curious wardrobe requirement: a woolly winter parka.

3/13/2008 || TVGuide.com Interviews & Features || Elizabeth Mitchell: Lost's Juliet Kisses Jack and Tells!
It was a genuine, tender moment that all but made up for the somewhat silly "Stop the nerve gas!" antics that preceded it. Lost's Juliet, haunted by Ben's obsession, shared a rain-soaked lip-lock with Jack. Luckily for "Jacket" fans, more of the same seems to be on the horizon. Elizabeth Mitchell shares with us what's ahead, names the episode she deems "perfect" and talks about returning to work after the strike.

3/11/2008 || MSNBC.com || Mitchell has hopes Juliet won’t die on Lost
‘I really identify with Juliet,’ says the star about her enigmatic character
Dr. Juliet Burke reveals herself to be a complex character on Lost.
Or, rather, she reveals very little of herself. She is a combination of strength, cunning and wistful victimhood, all displayed on a face so enigmatic she could give the Mona Lisa a run for her money.

3/4/2008 || MSNBC.com || Getting stranded with the manly men of Lost
Jack or Locke? Sawyer or Sayid? Which one has the island advantage?
Despite enemies, infighting and the occasional smoke monster, the castaways on ABC's Lost have it pretty good. The electromagnetically wonky mystery location hosts a conveniently skilled and disproportionately attractive group prepared for any survival needs. And thanks to dude-centric storylines, it's the island's menfolk who take care of the "save the day" scenarios.

‘Freighter group’ and flash forwards send show on smart, inventive path
As a show whose major selling points have always been mystery and confounded expectations, perhaps it's inevitable the eventual rescue implied in the premise of ABC's hit drama Lost would be turned on its ear.

2/1520/08 || TVGuide.com Ausiello Report || Lost Newbie to Kristen Bell: "Thanks for Turning Down Charlotte!"
Confession time: I wasn't expecting to like Rebecca Mader on Lost. Not because I think she's a bad actress or anything. She was good on Justice. It's just that, well, the role of Charlotte was originally earmarked for my beloved Kristen Bell, and the thought of anyone else playing the part just felt wrong.
