"Slaughterhouse Five" read begins
by Nickb123, Lostpedia staff
After wading through "Lord of the Flies" for September's read, Lostpedia's book club moves on to "Slaughterhouse-Five", by Kurt Vonnegut. Not only does the book have big Lost connections about time travel, it also uses these out-there elements as devices to reflect the human condition, thus promising to be an engaging novel for those taking part. With November's book also announced in the post, the LLL project is now really picking up steam in its third month.

 2008 Emmys - Why LOST Lost
by Jon Lachonis, UGO
I’ll admit it – being a LOST fan, I was ecstatic to see the show get nominated for Best Drama – but I didn’t expect it to win for one minute. Like most fans, I put up the false front of hopefulness that my coveted little vial of televised heroin would somehow be validated – again – as the ‘best’ there is, but at the end of the day the nod went to Mad Men, and deservedly so – even though Damages would have been even more deservedly so.

Emmy episode entries: Comedy and drama series races
by Tom O'Neil, LA Times
In the Emmy contests for comedy and drama series, nominees submit six sample episodes to be judged. The half dozen episodes are divided into three pairs, which are distributed randomly to voters who view two from each contender.
In other words, because there are five nominees for outstanding comedy series, voters view 10 episodes on DVDs at home before they ink their ballots and sign an affidavit attesting that they viewed everything required. Ballots and paperwork must be returned by Friday. Winners will be announced on the ABC Emmycast on Sept. 21. Below are the titles of the episodes entered in those categories.
Lost, being one of the nominees has entered "The Beginning of the End", "The Constant", "Ji Yeon" , "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1" and "There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3" as it's six samples. Lost's Michael Emerson has also been nominated in the supporting actor category for his work in "The Shape of Things to Come." Read More...
