Prop Cup 2009 - Round 1, Matches 5 & 6

2009-11-04T11:20:00.003Z

Congratulations to yesterday's winners, the Cabin Chair, the Ajira Plane, the Frozen Donkey Wheel, and the Submarine. It was somewhat of a one sided affair, but today's polls should offer up more of a challenge.

As always, feel free to comment via the blog, and you can also partake in a more in-depth discussion via the forum - Prop Cup 2009 Discussion Thread

Match 5: Those blasted mines take on Charlie's FATE, the Apollo brand chocolate bar, Radzinsky's elaborate model of the Swan Station, Sun's "chocolate box" (it contained the gun. Naughty), and little Ben's hoodie.

Match 6: Dear oh dear. This poll is going to take some thinking. Mikhail's Eye Patch goes up against the always popular Fail Safe Key, the renowned Black Rock ship, Walt's superhero comic book, the infamous Swan Station computer terminal, and the ever soppy Greatest Hits.

No New Lost Promo during V tonight

2009-11-03T21:40:00.001Z

I've just heard that there will be no new promo for Lost during Tonight Premiere of V. A promo will air during Thursdays FlashForward but we suspect it will be the same one.

Prop Cup 2009 - Round 1, Matches 3 & 4

2009-11-03T11:53:00.003Z

Congratulations to the Four Toed Statue and Radzinsky's Blast Door Map for a comfortable win, and also to the Nigerian Plane and the Ancient Hieroglyphic Door for edging it passed the print-out. All four proceed through to round 2. Now, on with the show...

As always, feel free to comment via the blog, and you can also partake in a more in-depth discussion via the forum - Prop Cup 2009 Discussion Thread

Match 3: Today's first poll provides us with some lesser but altogether intriguing pieces. Can fan favourite Sawyer's "LaFleur" uniform secure a victory? Will Oldham's phonograph hit enough notes?... err, votes... Can Daniel's metronome make it through to round 2, or will the old dog charm its way through with those puppy dog eyes? The Ajira plane was a big talking point during season 5, or will the mystery of the chair see it through comfortably?

Match 4: The second poll today brings us one of the coolest props to date, literally, the Frozen Donkey Wheel. It goes up against the big blue submarine, Locke's fateful wire (R.I.P John), the cavernous well (which incidentally led to the aforementioned wheel), Horace's dynamite, and Roger Linus' janitorial keys (those used by little Ben to break Sayid out of prison).

Prop Cup 2009 - Round 1, Matches 1 & 2

2009-11-02T11:15:00.002Z

Welcome to the first day of many to come, in the Prop Cup of 2009! You know the drill by now - Every day, you will get to vote via poll for which LOST props you think deserve the most recognition. As the weeks roll on, the prop list will shorten until we are left with only a handful of popular LOST props, but there can only be one winner!

The final prop list for this year's competition consists of 144 props in total. A big thank you to everyone that helped with the list via the forum. We have a good mix of new and old, little and large, important and slapstick - Variety is the spice of life. All of the polls were randomly drawn using a spreadsheet.

With all of that being said, let us commence with the fun stuff, and there is nothing quite like kicking things off with some big-hitters! As always, feel free to comment via the blog, and you can also partake in a more in-depth discussion via the forum - Prop Cup 2009 Discussion Thread

Match 1: Today's first poll brings us last year's runner-up, and 2007's Prop Cup winner, Radzinsky's Blast Door Map. Does the blast door map still have what it takes, or has the emergence of the hard-hearted Radzinsky dampened its chances? It faces competition in the form of the much loved Dharma Van and perhaps Season 5's most talked about piece (and home to Jacob), the Four Toed Statue. Heading up the rear, and perhaps not to be underestimated, are Sawyer's flower (Aww), Richard's medical kit, and Frank's rather elegant pilot's uniform.

Match 2: Our second poll today offers up some difficult choices. The New Recruits Photograph was a big talking point in Season 5, and helped to bridge the gap between future and past. Speaking of the past, is Eloise's rifle tragic enough to inspire votes? Do you find yourself warming to Richard's Flaming Torch, or will the magnitude and importance of the System Failure Print-Out, Ancient Hieroglyphic Door and Nigerian Plane win the day?

Carlton Cuse Says LOST Will Take a Break for Winter Olympics!?

2009-10-25T10:44:00.003Z

Well another Season of LOST is nearing and once again we were promised a season with no interruptions, but it seems like we will be given a break early in the season because of the Winter Olympics.

I know most of you are not too happy to read this but I had a feeling this would happen.

Where did this info come from!? Straight from LOST writer Carlton Cuse who apparently visited Harvard this past week and here is a statement from the Art Blog at Harvard:

Mr. Cuse graciously explained that the show would begin again in January then stop for the Olympics and then start back again in February.

The Olympics start Feb 12th 2010 and end Feb 28th, so expect at least a TWO WEEK break. Problem is they pretty much have no choice because if they do not take a break the ratings for those couple of episodes could take a big hit.

Please do not get too upset yet, because we have no official confirmation from ABC and we will definitely check with our sources and let you know anything we hear.

Stay tuned.

2009 Character Cup: Ben Linus is Your Winner!

2009-10-21T18:14:00.000+01:00

Congratulations to Benjamin Linus! He is your 2009 Character Cup champion!

Ben beat Locke 52%-48% in our closest Cup Final match yet. Sawyer was the favorite to win in the brackets, so Ben's win does count as an upset. Ben was predicted to win in just 18.4% of all brackets. Locke wasn't too far behind. He was predicted to win in 18.1% of all brackets.

Congratulations also to Sean "Luhks" Luhks for winning this year's bracket competition. While he was only one percentage point off on the outcome of the Finals, he predicted every single match correctly! For coming in first place, he will be receiving a copy of the Season 5 DVD set. Way to go!

Three different winners in three years! Will one of these victors claim a second victory next year? Or will Sawyer or Jack finally eek out a win after all is said and done? Season 6 is only three months away. Will the final season of Lost shake up any of the character fan bases? We'll just have to wait and see.

There's only one more season of Lost and only one more Character Cup. Be sure to come back next year for the final battle!

2009 Character Cup Finals

2009-10-19T14:15:00.002+01:00

UPDATE: This poll will remain open for 2 days.

Congratulations to Sawyer! Though he was the heavy favorite to win it all, he is taking home the bronze medal after holding off a resurgent Desmond.

Sawyer 51% - Desmond 49%

This is it, ladies and gentlemen! We have reached the Finals! Including the consolation match, there have been 191,854 votes cast in this years Character Cup tournament. Those votes have brought us to this moment right here.

Two men are still standing. In one corner we have John Locke- an original Lostie and a juggernaut fan favorite. For much of the series, he has been a driving force in revealing many of the show's mythological elements. In the other corner we have Ben Linus- the brilliant one-time leader of the Others and a likewise fan favorite. Ever since his debut in Season 2, Ben has proven time and again that he is a wily fox and can almost never be trusted.

In many ways, these men are polar opposites. While John Locke was healed of his paralysis by the Island, Ben Linus was given cancer. While Ben trusted almost solely in himself, Locke was a believer of fate and trusted the Island to show him its will. Locke tried to lead people in a mostly-honest and open way while Ben ruled almost as a dictator. Ben Linus was never one to lose sight of his goals but John Locke was often plagued with doubt and lost faith numerous times. In the end, John Locke turned up dead but Ben Linus is still alive.

There are, however, many similarities between these men. At one time or another, both men were called to be leader of the Others. John Locke and Ben Linus often made it difficult for people to trust them. Both of them have a tendency to lose control of their emotions. Both have taken the lives of other people. Both have been confronted by the Smoke Monster and lived. Ben and John both turned the Frozen Donkey Wheel and were exiled from the Island and both of them returned on Ajira Flight 316. In the end, it appears that both of them were being used as pawns this entire time by the Island's seemingly supernatural residents.

It is impossible to apply the term 'hero' or 'villain' to either of these men, for they both have their merits and their flaws. It is now your turn to crown one of these flawed but beloved characters your 2009 Character Cup champion.

Lost poster...Decoded

2009-10-16T22:02:00.002+01:00

Thanks to Erin from Popular Mechanics for sending this over.

A new poster promoting Lost's sixth and final season recently surfaced on the Internet—and in addition to a line up of the cast, both past and present, it contains some hieroglyphics to consider. PM sent the poster to Dr. James Allen, Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Chair of Egyptology and Ancient Western Asian Studies at Brown University—the man who gave the first indication that the mysterious four-toed statue was not Anubis, as many had assumed, but Taweret, the half-hippo, half-croc Egyptian goddess who protected mothers and infants. Allen had this to say about the poster: "The hieroglyphs spell out two Egyptian words, meaning 'Who is the guide?' or 'Who is the leader?'" We'll leave the interpretation of that up to you.
