Lost clues: "Left Behind" ep. 15, season 3

Synopsis:

As Hurley tries to turn Sawyer into a nicer human, Kate and Juliet find they've been abandoned by the Others, who apparently have abandoned their village as well, putting on backpacks and heading for who know where.

Before this, however, Locke tells Kate he's going with the Others. He says he made a case for Kate coming along but was informed about her past history (presumably her having killed her stepfather). The Others, Locke says, "aren't very forgiving."

Kate and Juliet soon learn Sayid and Jack also have been left behind and meet up with them. Although Kate and Sayid are suspicious, Jack is adamant that Juliet be able to join them on their trek back to the beach and their fellow crash survivors.



Clues, observations, speculation:

* Where the heck did the Others go? Their submarine was destroyed and the electromagnetic disturbance caused by the Hatch explosion has supposedly made the island unfindable from the outside world so, presumably, they're stuck on the main island or their smaller, nearby island (if they go by boat, not sub).

* Has Locke really transformed into an Other or is he faking?



* What happened with Locke and his father, who apparently was captured by the Others and was being held in their village?

* Did Locke in someway make up for past faults by confronting his father? And is that why he's now viewed as hunky-dory by the Others and good enough to go on their backpacking trip?

* Is the whole scenario of the show--the crash, the island, the connections between people--all some self-improvement thing? Redemption and addressing past wrongs seems to crop up all the time. If Locke somehow put his conflict with his father to rest and is now viewed as ok by the Others, there may be something to the theory.

* Cassidy Phillips, the woman who helps Kate make contact with her mother, was swindled out of her life savings by Sawyer in the episode "The Long Con." Sawyer is also the father of her child.



* Has Juliet really been left behind or is she just foolin'? What about Jack: Is he trustworthy at this point or not?

* Juliet says she doesn't know what the smoke monster is, but the force field thingy around the Others' village can apparently keep it out.

* Again, Juliet reveals she knows tons of information about Jack. Where do the Others get such info and what do they hope to do with it?



* Where'd Juliet learn all those kung-fu moves? Do Others recruits receive martial arts training and, if so, why? What are they training to defend themselves against?

Vintage comic book ad

Pop Culture Roundup Aug. 4, 2007

A film based on DC Comics' "Metal Men" series is in the works.

Warner Bros. Pictures is hoping to strike gold with the robotic superhero team "Metal Men," setting up the project with producer Lauren Shuler Donner. Eric Champnella has been brought on board to write.

...Geoff Johns, who was an assistant to Richard Donner before becoming one of the comic world's renowned writers, helped develop the take and will executive produce.

---------------

"Lost" producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and actor Terry O'Quinn discuss the character of Locke with the Buffalo News.

As the creators dreamed up Locke, Lindelof couldn’t help but think of the Charles Atlas comic book ads he used to see when he was a child: the scrawny kid on the beach who gets sand kicked in his face by a bully, then starts weightlifting and whacks the bully in the face when he returns.

“I think that’s basically who John Locke is,” Lindelof said. “We keep showing you stories about him making bad decisions and being abused and conned and suckered, all because he wants to be loved. Now, he’s on the island, he’s not preoccupied with needing to be loved anymore.”

Lost preview April 4 episode

Scroll over the hidden text for a slightly spoilerish teaser for tonight's show. Then come back here tomorrow for a full roundup of observations and clues from the episode.

New batch of Walt Disney Treasures DVDs announced

The latest limited-edition double disks in this series will be out Dec. 11 this year.

Details from Disney:

Walt Disney Home Entertainment continues the popular Walt Disney Treasures series with three new 2-Disc DVD sets featuring rarely seen footage presented with amazing color and sound. The seventh installment of Walt Disney Treasures will be available December 11, 2007 in a limited supply just in time for the holidays.

Predating even Mickey Mouse, the legendary and rarely-seen "Oswald The Lucky Rabbit" was Walt Disney's first big animated star, and having recently returned to the Disney fold, comes out of the vault for the first time ever on DVD. The silent shorts made from 1926 to 1927 with Walt's personal touch, are revitalized with a brand-new score specifically made for Walt Disney Treasures, Wave VII.

"Chronological Donald, Volume 3" features the most prolific of "Walt's Fab Five," the short-tempered but hilarious Donald Duck in rarely seen solo shorts dating 1947 through 1950.

"Disneyland: Secrets, Stories and Magic" is a comprehensive look at the "Happiest Place on Earth." The centerpiece of this volume is a new documentary with archival footage, including Walt's own words, as well as new interviews that reveal the magic and manpower behind one of the world's most famous destinations.

Each volume features noted film historian, author, and critic Leonard Maltin. Each volume is individually numbered, with an authenticity certificate, and an exclusive lithograph in the collectible, unique packaging tins and available just in time for the holidays, in a limited supply only.

Filmation Superman and Batman DVD sets cover art, pre-order info

Warner Bros. will release Filmation's 1960s "New Adventures of Superman" and 1970s "New Adventures of Batman" animated series on June 26.

Release details
In 1966, Superman, Lois Lane and Perry White were animated into 36 action packed 6-minute episodes that were the forerunner shows leading into subsequent animated hero programming on CBS. In 1977, CBS aired an animation series featuring the voices of Adam West and Burt Ward as DC Comics' Super Heroes, Batman and Robin. Now, Warner Home Video will bring the animation back to life when they release "The New Adventures of Superman" and "The New Adventures of Batman" as two separate 2-Disc Collector sets on June 26, 2007.

Click the links to order either set.


"The New Adventures of Superman"
The 6-minute vignettes that comprise The New Adventures of Superman depict Superman and Lois Lane in animated form for the first time since they were immortalized in the iconic Superman live-action short films of the 1940s. The series also marked the animation debut of Jimmy Olsen and classic Superman villains like Lex Luthor and Brainiac. The 2-Disc Collector set features 36 action-packed episodes with the legendary super heroes and great bonus features.

Extras include:

• Superman in 66 - In 1966 the comics industry was booming. This was also a hallmark year for Superman and an amazing year for the country. It was also the year The New Adventures of Superman debuted on CBS. This piece will explore how the 60's era influenced the character of Superman and led to his Filmation debut on this groundbreaking show.

Pre-order New Adventures of Superman for $20.19 at Amazon.


"The New Adventures of Batman"
This show featured the voices of Adam West and Burt Ward, who starred in the live-action show Batman. Voicing the animated versions of Batman and Robin was the first time the two had reprised their famous roles since the live-action show was cancelled in 1968. In The New Adventures of Batman, Batman, Robin and Batgirl battle various villains in Gotham City and gain fandom for their heroic actions. One fan of the Dynamic Duo is Batmite, a dimensional imp who insists on helping Batman & Robin, regardless of their wishes. The 2-Disc Collector set features 16 action-packed episodes with the dynamic-duo and great bonus features.

Extras include:

• Dark Versus Light - Filmation and the Batman - 1977 marked Batman's return to television in Filmation's New Adventures of Batman. With interviews ranging from the President & Publisher of DC Comics to the President of Warner Bros. Animation, the legacy of Filmation, will be examined from animation style to how this core DC character was depicted in the series. Among the themes explored will be the unique split between the lighter, comedic version of Batman made popular by Filmation and the darker, brooding character seen in Detective Comics at the time.
  
• Bat-Commentary - An audio commentary from Filmation historian Michael Swanigan and Filmation founder Lou Schiemer on two of the episodes from the series. The special feature will be denoted with a selectable button indicating the respective episode from which the commentary is derived.

Pop Culture Roundup April 2, 2007

TIP! was off last week and missed the news about the unfortunate passing of Marshall Rogers, one of the all-time best Batman artists. Fred Hembeck has a nice tribute and there's an obituary here. Rogers also did wonderful work on Doctor Strange and the Silver Surfer. He'll be greatly missed.
