The past week has seen a sudden surge of
Lost related news, even if it is not directly related to the show. Following a week where there were arguably four
Lost homages on different networks, news of former cast members being sentenced to jail time, reels of spoiler footage being aired on the Hawaiian news, and a particularly foul mouthed – but jolly – auteur surprisingly exposing his love of the island drama in extremely colorful language all dominated this weeks entertainment press.

Every Wed now I cuss the decision to push the show back to Feb 08.
Lost seemed to be on literally everyone's mind during the first few weeks of the fall TV season. First, there was the notable mention of the ill-fated Oceanic Flight 815 on NBC's
Chuck, then
Lost actor Kevin Tighe who plays Locke's father Anthony Cooper, played a character named Cooper on
Law & Order: SVU. Some of
Lost's mystical numbers appeared on the clap board during
Caveman's closing credits, and Jerry Seinfeld said he liked the show on
30 Rock.
In the mainstream, Jeff Jensen from
Entertainment Weekly spoke with director Kevin Smith, who has been extremely active in the TV world this season directing the pilot for
Reaper, writing and apparently directing an episode of
Heroes: Origins, and nearly directing an episode of
Battlestar Galactica. In his typical fashion, Smith's praise came seasoned with an entrée of profanity. ''Who gives a f--- about the polar bear, who gives a f--- about the smoke monster, any of that — all the f---ing sci-fi weirdness just took a backseat to, like, 'Holy s---! Why did Jack and Kate stop being friends?'' Smith said, regarding the
Lost season 3 finale.
Former
Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez made headlines again this week when an LA judge sentenced the actress to 180 days in prison for violating parole. The violation occurred during filming of
Lost's second season.
SPOILER WARNING: The usually discrete Hawaiian media got into the business of
Lost spoiling last week by running a reel filmed outside a shooting location and describing it as a Los Angeles courtroom. Fans of the series had no trouble at all determining that the scene involved Kate's trial.
