Success!

Thanks to everyone who came out! More to come later!

Tonight is the Night!

We're trying to think of some good rules for a drinking game. So far we have:

Drink everytime...
-Ben is creepy.
-Sayid is badass.
-somone isn't wearing a shirt.
-you mind is blown.

Any others? We were also going to make some rules of conduct, but they are all basically turning out to be rephrasings of "don't talk during the show!" Anyone have anything to add?

Where Were They Then?: Michael Emerson, AKA Benjamin Linus

In honor of next week's premiere of season five, let's take a look at what our favorite frozen donkey wheel pusher, Benjamin Linus, was up to before LOST. Most clips I found of Micahel Emerson, he was playing a creepy and intense character, similar to his role in LOST. He played a man claiming to be a murderer on The Practice, a corrupt doctor in Saw, and my personal favorite, a child slave trafficker opposite Ice-T on Law & Order: SVU (amongst others). But viewing those clips, I really feel like I'm just watching Benjamin Linus up to his old tricks: lying, manipulating and of course, being creepy. So let's take a look at Mr. Michael Emerson playing a Lawyer in a show starring Whoopi Goldberg called (what else?) Whoopi. I didn't even know this show existed, but at the same time it kind of seems like there would HAVE to be a show starring Whoopi Goldberg called Whoopi. A quick side note: The connections seem to be prevalent off the Island too. It couldn't just be a coincidence that Ben was on Whoopi and Hurley was on Becker, and Whoopi and Danson were once romantically involved, now could it?

Of course, he's still kind of creepy.

ONE WEEK UNTIL THE BEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR

It's taken so long to get here, but we're only ONE WEEK away from the premiere of LOST.

Now that you're all listening to the Constants, you have something to keep you going in the next week. Sometimes, though, the last week of waiting is always the WORST. But since all we can think about is LOST (am I right or am I right?) then maybe we can share that burden together. Let's speculate, shall we?

Save it for the comments, but what do YOU think will happen in the first episode?

If anything goes wrong, the Constants will be my constant

Sorry about the lack of posting on my part, but you must understand that I've been busy preparing for the season 5 premiere with my new LOST tribute band "the Constants". You can check us out by clicking here! SHAMELESS PROMOTION!

LOST and Bothered.

It's a New Year. At the start of anything new, you should always be thankful for the good things in life. Like all the characters on LOST who are HOT. I think '09 is really going to be Ben's year, so who better to appreciate?

Ben is a man of power. Who doesn't love that (unless he's trying to kill or manipulate you?)? I'm going out on a limb here to say that Ben definitely has some hotness to him, but it might just be best to admire it from a distance.

Fun Ben facts:

• he kills both his parents (technically he kills his mom by being born) on his birthday
• he has multiple names/passports including Henry Gale and Dean Moriarty
• he was born in Portland!
• young Ben looks like Vince
• the actor who plays Ben, Michael Emerson, gets his haircut at the same place as J.Cremer in Manhattan

I think what makes Ben so great is that he's such an interesting character. He's constantly playing mind games, beating people up, befriending them, saying things you think have hidden meaning, the list goes on. He's a self-made man! He's super smart! He totally makes the show most of the time. And he creeps me out! Nothing hotter than that.

Where Were They Then?: Jorge Garcia, AKA Hurley

Let's be honest here. There's one person on the Island that everyone loves. Hurley. Sure, he might not be your favorite crash survivor, but what is there not to like? You give me a person that dislikes Hurley, I'll give you someone who doesn't know their ass from a hatch in the ground. Not only is Hurley one of the most likable characters in recent TV history, the actor that plays him seems to be a super-nice dude too. Recently I discovered his blog, where I found out he's quite crafty and seems to be a little cautious of the fame LOST has brought him. It almost pains me to post a video that Mr. Garcia may find embarrassing, but I guess that's the name of the game, isn't it? Plus, as bigger guy that likes to eat cheeseburgers, I can totally appreciate a man that can embrace his size and (presumably) love for meat on a bun. Also, he can sing pretty well too!

Touching Base

So folks, sorry it's been awhile since a post. You know how the holidays are though. That, along with the difficulty of thinking of something worth blogging about without a constant flow of information (or should I say, new episodes) has made the past couple of weeks seem pretty dry. I can't promise that the next couple of weeks won't be the same, but I will say we do have some stuff in store. I'll post a new "Where Were They Then?" sometime tomorrow (Tuesday), we're trying to think of some good polls (suggestions?), and most exciting of all, we've got something in store for the premiere of season 5 on January 21st. I also hear rumors of a Sacramento based, LOST-themed pop sensation that will take the city (country! world!) by storm, but I'll let that come to light all on it's own.

Happy New Year!

I hope your 2009 (or 2005, if you happen to be on Island time) is filled with love, good fortune, and a full season of LOST that isn't interupted by any actors strikes.
