I Hate The Emmys

First off, thanks very much to all of you who have read my blog! It means a lot to know that someone's reading my stuff.

One of the big taboo subjects amongst Lost fans this summer, is the Emmy nominations. As most of you know, as far as acting nominations go, Lost was snubbed yet again, receiving only 2 nominations, in the same category. So, now I shall rant about this. Enjoy :)

According to the Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack, these were the submissions ABC made to the Emmy people:

Best Lead Actor: Matthew Fox- A Tale of Two Cities
Best Lead Actress: Evangeline Lilly- I Do
Best Supporting Actor: Naveen Andrews- Enter 77
Daniel Dae Kim- The Glass Ballerina
Michael Emerson- Every Man for Himself
Henry Ian Cusick- Flashes Before Your Eyes
Josh Holloway- Every Man for Himself
Jorge Garcia- Tricia Tanaka is Dead
Dominic Monaghan- Flashes Before Your Eyes
Terry O'Quinn- The Man From Talahassee

Best Supporting Actress: Emilie de Ravin- Par Avion
Elizabeth Mitchell- One of Us
Yun Jin Kim- The Glass Ballerina

Out of ALL of these submissions, the only ones that were fruitful, were Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn. It's really too bad that they are competing against each other! They both deserve nominations.

I'm probably the most angry about Elizabeth Mitchell not receiving a nomination. Even though I know most don't like her character, you must admit that she's been such a consistently amazing actress. I found this on YouTube and it shows the videos that were sent to the Nomination committee for Elizabeth and Sandra Oh. You be judge. Oh well, maybe the Golden Globes will recognize the greatness that is Lost and it's actors.



So, I have a brand new theory this week that may or may not disprove the old theory. Just hear me out:

The pregnancy problems on the Island began when the "Incident" (referred to in the Swan Orientation Video) occured. Now, that Desmond has turned the failsafe key and the sky turned purple, the pregnancy problem is non existent.

That's my theory and I'm stickin to it. Please comment and let me know what you think and who YOU think was the most cheated from the Emmy nominations.

Next week: revisting Season 1 and what I didn't notice before!

My first blog post!

Hey all Lost fans! As you can guess by this title, this is a blog dedicated to the show Lost! I'm very excited to start this blog because 1) the hiatus is way too freakin long, and 2) I'm always thinking about Lost, so I might as well post my theories and get some feedback!

In order to survive the hiatus, I have been re-watching Season 1. Last night I watched "Whatever the Case May Be". You know, the episode where Kate find's the Marshall's case of guns and the toy airplane of her childhood sweetheart, Tom. I really forgot how much I love episodes like this! The character tension between Kate and Jack was amazing (I'm slightly giving up on my Jater status, please don't shoot) and the mysterious flashback brought tears to my eyes. Okay, maybe Evangeline Lilly's acting had more to do with the tears, but you get my point.

I think my favorite part of this episode was, when Shannon was singing "La Mer". I haven't figured out if this was actually Maggie Grace singing (sure sounds like it) but it was such a beautiful way to end the show. I love when the episodes end with music.

So, on a totally different topic, I have a new theory. After much research and a rewatching of "Solitary" (the episode where we first meet Rousseau) I have made my official Rousseau theory of the moment (because she is such an interesting character, I plan to constantly blog about her):

Danielle Rousseau was a member of the Black Rock Slave Ship along with Richard Alpert. She cannot age, like Richard, and Alex was conceived on the island.

Now, you may all shout at me and scream "You can't conceive on the island without dying, stupid!". Yes, I know, that as of RIGHT NOW, that is not a reality. But, this is my theory and I'm sticking to it!

So, I hope I didn't bore you all too much. just trying to be informative about my ideas! Please comment and let me know how you liked my first attempt at blogging!
