Thanks to Karen for the following.

A couple of weeks ago my friend and fellow Lostie Jooky22, sent me the very first look at pages from Ben's journal. I shared the exclusive pages from Ben's journal here for you to have a peek at. A few days ago Jooky22 mailed me the (many) loose pages of notes that were also part of Ben's bag of goodies to scan and investigate!

J.J. Abrams Is Now Pitching the New Locke–Ben Linus Show

Update: 22:45 Latest from EW.COM

No surprise here: A well-placed source tells me that three different networks are gunning for a potential new J.J. Abrams-produced series that would find former Lost stars Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson playing a pair of black ops agents.
As first reported by NYMag.com, the project—tentatively titled Odd Jobs—is being written by Abrams’ former Alias cohorts Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec.

Forget Rizzoli & Isles: Are you ready for Linus & Locke? In news that could cause the Lost fan base to have a synchronized aneurysm, Vulture hears that last week, J.J. Abrams and frequent collaborators Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec (Alias, Mission: Impossible 4) began pitching a comedic drama to the networks that would have Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn — a.k.a. Benjamin Linus and John Locke/Smokey — playing former black-ops agents.
The idea of Emerson and O'Quinn reuniting isn't completely new: In February, the duo told TV Guide that they were looking to put together a post-Lost TV project for themselves; the rumors were revived again last month when Emerson repeated his hopes for a new show while doing publicity for the Lost full-series DVD collection. Still, all the talk seemed to be in the realm of "maybe one day." Turns out plans for a show are very real and very active — and the involvement of Abrams and other Bad Robot types means there's a really good chance the project will soon find a home.

As always with all things Abrams, details are sketchy, but insiders said the potential show — which we've heard carries the working title Odd Jobs — would have a dose of humor. It's not clear whether Appelbaum and Nemec will include any elements of an idea floated by O'Quinn last winter that had the two former Lost-mates serving as suburban hit men.

It's been a busy month for Bad Robot: Abrams and producing partner Bryan Burk last week set up Person of Interest at CBS and an Alcatraz-themed drama at Fox. Abrams's Undercovers, meanwhile, bows Wednesday on NBC, while the Abrams-directed feature Super 8 is moving forward, with Kyle Chandler and Elle Fanning the first two actors cast in the project. Warner Bros., the studio where Bad Robot is based, had no comment.

I don't want to reveal too many spoilers, and there are some spoilers from that 60 seconds, including the "when" and "where." But I will tell you the clip I saw featured Michael Emerson and "Dharma peas." Draw your own conclusions.

......"The New Man in Charge"

PopWrap has learned that is the title of the Darlton-produced feature starring Jorge Garcia & Michael Emerson, which will be included on both the season six and complete collection Lost DVD's out in August.

Season 6 DVD Will Have Epilogue of Ben and Hurley on Island

UPDATE: The video of Emerson's interview where he confirms this information is posted on the Media Mentions section of the site for those that want to check it out.

UPDATE: As many fans have pointed out, this epilogue will be available on the COMPLETE COLLECTION not just the Season 6 DVD.

So for those wondering what happened with Ben and Hurley after the Ajira plane takes off, well you are in luck! Apparently there are an additional 12-14 minutes that will be an "epilogue" that will be included on the Season 6 DVD set.

Of course this is a part of ABC's way of making some more money, but at least there is more footage to see. Also some are speculating this is where we will see Walt.

Here is the story from E! Online:

One more reason to love Michael Emerson: He just spilled the goods on an amazing surprise for any Lost fan planning to buy the final, sixth-season DVD. (And trust me, now all of you will be buying it.)

There will be more Lost. There is more to the story, and we will get to see it! Praise Jacob! Or should we say…Hurley?!

“For those people that want to pony up and buy the complete Lost series, there is a bonus feature,” Michael just told our Kevin Pereira of Attack of the Show!, which airs tonight at 7 on E!’s brother network G4. “Which is um, you could call it an epilogue. A lost scene. It’s a lot; it’s 12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley (Jorge Garcia) becoming number one and the end of the series.”

ODI LOSTcast 55 - Episode 6x07 Dr. Linus Recap

Happy LOST Day All!!

Last week's Ben-Centric episode was filled with some nice surprises both off and on island with Ben being redeemed. Michael Emerson's emotional portrayal of a broken down Ben was awesome and the return to the Black Rock with Richard, Jack and Hurley provided us with some revealing answers.

As always we recap and analyze every moment of the episode.

The podcast was posted to iTunes earlier today, but for those that do not have iTunes you can find an audio player or download at the link below.

Hope you all enjoy!

NOTE:This podcast is spoiler-free, but do not worry spoiler fans we are trying to do a all spoiler podcast soon.

Episode 6x07 Dr. Linus - LOSTometer Episode Grade Chart

So another Ben episode and another awesome performance by Michael Emerson!

This week's episode delivered an episode that provided one of the most evil and manipulating characters we have had on LOST with redemption off and on island. I have always been a big fan of manipulating creepy Ben and to see him break down and us to finally see all he has ever wanted was to be "haved" was an interesting twist. Some still don't believe him and I wonder what will eventually happen to him?

One of the coolest scenes for me was the return to the Black Rock and Jack sits down with Richard after lighting the fuse and says ok now let's talk. However, Darth Locke gets a notable mention for trying to convince Dr. Linus to take the dark path and be the principal and also using the Force to free him from Ilana.

Most of the bloggers and fans seemed to really like this week's episode and overall it ended with an AVG grade of an "A". This is the second episode to get and it seems like we like our LOST teachers Dr. Linus and The Substitute John Locke.

Quote of the Week from LOST-Media's Gertie Beth: "Oh, I LOVED this one!! Cried like a baby... I love Ben! I think?"

So do you all agree? What did you think?
