A little more online gossip about the recently-completed series Lost - some comments from Jorge Garcia (Hurley) including a little reminiscing about the show, his future plans, and details about extra scenes from the finale that should be included on the DVD later this summer. Finale spoilers ahead!
Spoiler
Good news for those of you still struggling to "let go" from Lost: Jorge Garcia confirms that there is indeed an extended bonus scene he shot with Michael Emerson for the upcoming full-series DVD collection.
We just caught up with the island's awesome new "No. 1" at the Monte Carlo Television Festival in, you guessed it, Monte Carlo, and here's what he dished:
"It will address some of the issues, like the food drops, and it will deal with what happened on the island after Hurley took over and how he handled things," Garcia reveals of the DVD bonus feature he shot. "It will give you a taste of what took place after Hurley took over as the new number one. There's a little epilogue thing going on with the DVD."
That little epilogue will be available to fans when Lost: The Complete Collection is released on DVD and Blu-ray August 24.
Inside sources also told me that Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) will be shown in the bonus material. "We'll find out what happens to Walt," says the insider. But when asked who else he worked with, Jorge replied coyly: "There are other people in it, but I'm not going to tell you who."
So now that he's done with the show and can really tell us what he thought of the controversial series finale, what does Jorge have to say?
"I loved it," Jorge says. "When I first got the finale script, it didn't have the final act in it yet. But I got to the part where Hurley takes over and there was a kind of a sigh of relief. I thought OK, this ending is a satisfying ending for me. Everything I invested in this show does pay off. And so I'm good, the ending is good, and I don't have to worry about it."
And though many viewers didn't see that twist coming—that Hurley was named the protector of the island after Jack decided to sacrifice himself—Jorge says he and Matthew Fox both had a sneaking suspicion. "During the whole season, Matt Fox and I were going back and forth, going, 'It's going to be one of us, it's not going to be one of them, its got to be one of us.' So yeah, I liked it [the ending], it was quite heavy."
Now that Lost is gone for good, Jorge says he's ready for another TV acting gig, when the time is right. "Because of the success of Lost I am able to be a little bit picky, which is nice," Jorge admits. "I have been sent three or four scripts for television series, but there wasn't anything I really wanted to do. I want to tell a good story, whether it's a TV show, a movie, whatever. That's really my No. 1 criteria."
Looking back, Jorge says that shooting Lost was the best of times—and sometimes, the comically worst of times. "During the pilot, they brought a bright light to an undeveloped area of the island that had probably never seen light at night, and all sorts of bugs came out of the forest," Jorge remembers with a laugh. "Many of them landed in my hair and during breaks they would have to come and pick them out. It is my worst memory, because even after I got home, after we thought they had all been taken out, two more bugs fell out into the drain when I was taking a shower."
As for the good: "A collection of things come to mind, but one in particular stands out. One time we were working on a scene and a whale breached for like five minutes, and we all just paused and watched it happen and afterward we just sat back and said, 'You don't see that when you're working on a set in Burbank.' "
But all night, Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes.

Very cool 'gazer! Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to those extra scenes.
Is anyone else intrigued by the upcoming HBO series Game of Thrones? It's based on a book series by George R. R. Martin and should be of the heavy fantasy genre. It caught my eye with just it's cast alone: Sean Bean, Harry Lloyd, Jennifer Ehle, Peter Dinklage, Tamzin Merchant, and others. Here's the first (VERY brief) look. The only thing I'm worried about is that it's HBO, which can be very graphic. Hopefully, if the book subject matter is clean, they won't take it in the other direction.

Yes, LOST had six seasons or rather five and a half normal length seasons.

too bad they didn't last longer as I expected. LOST is a great show. But I'm waiting for the 4th season of Gossip Girl and second season of Glee! Can't wait for it!

I'm rewatching all of the Lost seasons again before I get the sixth season. I'm now on season 2. I can watch these episodes over and over again. They never get old to me.

I really am excited for the next seasons of Lost. I'm just at episode 10! But soon I will finish it. Can't wait on how they were rescued!

Episode 10 of Season 6? It's good that they didn't drag it out any longer. They told the story as they wished too (to the best of their ability), on their terms.

I think Sandy means the first season of Lost. I'm glad you're enjoying it Sandy! It is going to get better and better every time.

You're probably right. But how can Sandy finish the series soon if she's not even half way through the first season?
Keep with it Sandy, it's a great series.

I rented The Twilight Zone, netflix's Vol 2 disc. I preferred the first disc I rented but this one was still good. It contained 4 episodes:
Time Enough at Last- This was just cruel! 
Good episode though.
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet- This one I really enjoyed. It creeped me out a bit 
The Odyssey of Flight 33- best one in the disc I think, amazing.
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street- Oh the master plan! Humans are so predictable
Next up will be disc 3, which I just saw a title of one of the episodes and checked it out- "Kick the Can". THIS is the only episode I had previously seen of the show, and LOVE it! So I can't wait to see it again.

Warrior 4 Jesus: I'll try my best to watch all the episodes soon but there are school works and projects that's why I seldom watch LOST already. But I still am going to finish it!!!

Time Enough at Last is pretty much my personal nightmare.

I like to think that he was able to find a pair of glasses that were his prescription though.
Watched "Cold Blood" tonight. It's not often that an episode of Doctor Who irritates me, but this one did.
Spoiler
How could they kill off Rory and then proceed to erase him from history? He and Amy were so cute together. And having her forget Rory was just lame and so was the Doctor's explanation for her forgetting. To me it smacks of them lazily not wanting to have to show her mourning Rory in future episodes. Now I suppose Amy will be free to chase around after the Doctor like a little puppy dog, exactly like every other companion with the exception of Donna.
