We still have months to suffer in anticipation before the fifth season of Lost kicks off in 2009. While we all patiently wait to find out where and when the island teleported, there’s a variety of ways to rewatch the first four seasons of the series. There are the DVDs, with the fourth season hitting stores on December 9, and you can also watch every episode through iTunes, ABC.com or Veoh.com. However, if you long to rewatch Lost complete with commercial breaks and a lengthy wait between episodes, you’ll be happy to hear that the Sci Fi Channel will begin rerunning the series on Monday, September 15. The network has also revealed its other fall scheduling plans, which includes premiere dates for Ghost Hunters and other shows.
ABC Unveils the ‘Lost’ Book Club
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
It’s rare that a television network or television show would encourage its audience to read a book. TV and the written word are in direct opposition of each other, mortal enemies, and ever since the television was invented, the written word has waned in popularity. Lost is not your typical television series, however, and today’s announcement of a “Lost Book Club” only further proves this fact. As any fan of Lost is well-aware, the series is filled to the brim with literary references and, literally, the appearance of classic books. On Lost, characters read. On Lost, what characters read can often inform the action on the series. The Lost Book Club is an informal sort of thing, and can be found on ABC’s Lost homepage, where a multitude of books are listed and categorized. For each book, you’ll be given its relevance within the Lost canon (i.e. where it actually popped up on the show), a synopsis of the book itself, and a link to a message board where you can discuss the book and its significance with other Lost fans.

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008
Last Thursday the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences unveiled the comedy and drama series up for Primetime Emmy nominations. Though those lists were made public, the nominations in the acting categories have been kept secret – though Gold Derby’s Tom O’Neil has tapped his sources and sifted through rumors to provide the unofficial top 10 lists of who made the cut.
The Emmy nominations are a two step process. They begin with a popular vote of all eligible ATAS members that determines what actors and which series will be on the top 10 lists. Each of those 10 nominees then submits an episode that best highlights their work and the academy ranks them, with the popular votes and rankings determining which five will be up for an Emmy. Today O’Neil unveiled the rumored top 10 lists of best lead actor and lead actress in a drama series.
