Wasn't Walt Cool?
I remembered that bird crashing into Walt's window as much more morbid than it actually was. I wish Walt were still a thing. Now he just lives in New York with his grandma, right? Maybe he lives with Aaron. In New York with his grandma. SINCE I GUESS THEY WEREN'T ANYTHING ANYWAY.

I admit it.
We were on track for day one, then we missed day two completely. To make up for it, the Model Home watched six episodes of Lost yesterday. Looks like we just gave ourselves a little wiggle room!
Also this morning the apartment was listening to Alanis together in the living room (no problem) and we realized that Kate would probably be a big Alanis Morrisette fan. If she likes music, that is.

You Can't Do That.
Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do count:
episode 4 - 4. The last one was technically "Don't tell me what I can't..." but I'm counting it as a whole one.
previous episodes - none yet.

No Meat Kate
Episode 4 - Kate says that, despite going on the boar hunt, she's a vegetarian. She's also a liar, but I'll take this one as a character trait. Kate does't eat meat.

And another thing!
Right after the first time the survivors hear the monster in the forest next to the beach, Rose remarks that it sounded really familiar. Some lady asks her where she's from, and Rose says "The Bronx." GIRLFRIEND THEY KNEW IT RIGHT THERE.
off to a good (versus evil) start
Congrats to everyone like myself who, after one day, is on track!
...I give myself one week. I intend to DO THIS THING, but it just wouldn't be in my nature to stick to a consistent 2-a-day pace. Anyone who ever made a paper countdown chain for Christmas knows that the best days are the ones where you forgot to do it for a bit, so you get to go CRAZY and rip off a whole bunch of ringlets. Plus there's a BONUS: real fast, YOU'RE THAT MUCH CLOSER TO CHRISTMAS.
Yesterday at the Model Home we screened/Hulu'd the two-part pilot episode, aired back in 2004 when I thought LOST looked like a terrible, hyper-serious ABC melodrama-thriller. Oh, what bullshit my expectations turn out to be.
In that same vein, here's a little bit of Pilot Trivia from Lostpedia:
In the making of the pilot episode, it is revealed that the pilot character was added late in production, as Jack had originally been planned to be killed off in "Pilot." The pilot's body that was found hanging in the tree was also originally intended to be Jack's.
I love that Jack was supposed to die. Most things about this show throw me into a frenzy of theorizing "what it's all about," but Jack's last minute salvation as a CHARACTER makes me certain of one thing:
Cuse and Lindelof had NO IDEA what was going to happen with this show when they started. Nothing was certain. It's a giant experiment in storytelling. They started with a few decided upon circumstances (characters, settings, number of pieces the plane was in) and let the thing take on an organic life of its own.
So when they were like "OH DUDE, JACK COULD DIE. IT WOULD BE LIKE IN PSYCHO. NO ONE WOULD SEE IT COMING!" The show was like, "Naw. Chill out, guys. He lives. Stop forcing ideas. Lemme do this." Then they were like "OH MAN, WE'RE GONNA ADD THESE CHARACTERS AND THEY'RE GONNA BE SO CORRUPT AND INTERESTING AND OUT OF NOWHERE. CURVEBALL!" And the show was all, "Meh. I'm gonna bury them alive they're so bad. Let's forget they happened."
And that's the story of how LOST (portrayed above by the smoke monster) challenged the expectations of its own creators.

LOCKE-DOWN PARTY DOWN!
Tomorrow night (Thurs 12/10) we celebrate. Lost will not leave our lives until it's ALL OVER. That's enough to make a baby scream with delight! Although if that baby is Ethan Rom, we can't really be sure what he's delighted about.
Come to the
MODEL HOME
after work (6ish, 7ish) TOMORROW!
I will make treats for us. The treats will utilize aspects of both Lost and Christmastime.
LET THE LOCKE-DOWN PLAN BEGIN!

We Have Locked Down A Premiere Date/Time!
LOST's 6th and final season will premiere on February 2nd at 9pm!
From 8-9 there will be a recap special and probably a rousing game of Drink Bryan Burk. Tuesday Parties that have come before COULD NOT POSSIBLY IMAGINE THE NIGHT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR US.
Oh, and by the way, looks like someone found out the title of the opener.
Looks like tvovermind.com is joining its forebears as a john linke!
