The Lost Mix-Tape

Thanks to my good friend Unai from SL-Lost for the following.

A while ago I made something for my site's readers: a music player with more than a dozen songs that have been featured on the show ("make your own kind of music", "shambala", etc). The cool thing is that the player looks like an actual mixtape. It had a huge success so I thought I should share it with you and your readers.

Iconic Prop Cup 2008 - Round 3, Matches 3 & 4

Congratulations go to yesterday’s winners, the Swan Station Countdown Timer, Radzinsky’s Blast Door Map, the Frozen Donkey Wheel, and the Swan Station Orientation Film. They all advance on to the quarter finals.

Today’s first poll brings us a cursed Lottery Ticket, an almost impenetrable Hatch Door, a pretty and colourful Wall Mural, and what is still considered one of Lost’s most badass prop items, Mikhail’s Eye Patch.

Poll 2 is a toughy. It gives us wreckage VS wreckage, as well as some Swan Station goodness. First we have the System Failure, System Failure, System Failure Print-Out. Then we have the Fail Safe Key; what would have happened to the island without it and Desmond’s quick thinking? Then we come to the wreckages; the Black Rock and the Fuselage.

Which will you vote for?

Please note: Round 3 polls are multiple choice, meaning that you may vote for more than one prop in each poll. Additionally, two props will proceed from each Round 3 poll.

Video - Ben Affleck Does Keith Olbermann On SNL

Ben Affleck visited his friends at Saturday Night Live last night, and in addition to a killer open with John McCain and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, managed to pull of a great Keith Olbermann skit.

Affleck lambasted current president George Bush for being a racist and bigot, and did a spoof of Olbermann's "Worst Person In The World" segment.

In his "Special Comment" section, Affleck goes after the coop manager of his apartment complex, after he is evicted for having a pet in a no pet apartment.

The result was controversial, with the host going off on Japanese internment camps, equal rights, justice, and fairness.

It was uncomfortable.

Video - John McCain Does SNL - Nails It

John McCain visited the set of Saturday Night Live last night for a last ditch effort to connect with voters.

Now famous Tina Fey, acting as Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, joined the candidate in one of the funniest opening skits ever.

The sketch, a jab at the thirty-minute infomercial Barack Obama purchased last week, was intended to give the candidates some final remarks on the campaign. Unfortunately, the only airtime they could afford was on the QVC shopping network.

While the two gave their final wisdom, they also hawked Joe the plumber dolls, and Obama town hall commemorative plates - that were blank. The best product was a set of "Pork Knives" guaranteed to cut the pork from anything.

There was also a cameo by McCain's wife Cindy, who introduced expensive QVC jewelry. Sarah Palin (Tina Fey) also went rouge when she tried to sell Palin In 2012 shirts.

Also, on the Weekend Update section, McCain explained his last ditch efforts and "Radical Ideas" he may use if things don't go his way.

Later in the show, Affleck mocked Keith Olbermann in a controversial segment that drew grasps from the audience.

Iconic Prop Cup 2008 - Round 3, Matches 1 & 2

Round 3 begins today, and it is your final chance to weed out the lesser props from the most deserving. Like Round 2, Round 3 polls will include four props, with two props advancing from each poll. Round 3 will run for only three days, and then the quarter finals will begin.

Yesterday's winners were Daniel's Journal, Hurley's Lottery Ticket, the Frozen Donkey Wheel, and Charlie's F.A.T.E. Congrats to them.

Poll 1 brings us four highly celebrated prop items amongst mythology junkies. We have last year’s winner, Radzinsky’s Blast Door Map. We also have the Giant Question Mark; that of which features at the very center of Radzinsky’s Map. In addition to these, we have the much feared Swan Station Countdown Timer, and Daniel’s foreseeing Journal.

Poll 2 sees everybody’s favourite VW van, the Dharma Van, going up against the likes of Alpert’s Test Items, the Swan Station Orientation Film, and one of Season 4's big shockers, the Frozen Donkey Wheel. Which will you vote for, and why?

Please note: Round 3 polls are multiple choice, meaning that you may vote for more than one prop in each poll. Additionally, two props will proceed from each Round 3 poll.

Iconic Prop Cup 2008 - Round 2, Matches 11 & 12

UPDATE: Polls are now working again. Poll answers no longer contain apostrophes. Hopefully they fix the issue soon.

We saw some very close results yesterday. The winners were Radsinsky’s Blast Door Map, the Ancient Hieroglyphic Door, the Swan Station Orientation Film, and Eko’s Stick. Congrats to them.

Today will mark the end of Round 2. Tomorrow, Round 3 will begin and it will last only three days. Then the quarter finals will begin. Not long now, so make your votes count.

Poll 1 brings us the Pearl Station Orientation Video, Charlie’s F.A.T.E, Locke’s Drawing of the Smoke Monster, and the Frozen Donkey Wheel. A pretty cool poll I think you’ll agree. Which will you vote for?

Poll 2 delivers Daniel’s Journal, an Apollo Chocolate Bar, Hurley’s Lottery Ticket, and some Dharma Brand Beer. Which of these do you wish to advance?

Please note: Round 2 polls are multiple choice, meaning that you may vote for more than one prop in each poll. Additionally, two props will proceed from each Round 2 poll.
