Was your username meant to be Walt, but it went wrong in a typo?

Definitely. Showing up in a few threads. Give him about 2 days and the novelty will wear off.

Should i take it up with Feedback for this crap?

madrab

yep let DeV or one of the other puppet masters sort it out

doh.ie

Have to say, the irony of a guy with Sawyer as his alias who is trying to con you out of money is pretty funny.

Walf should really know better, though.

steveland?

Bye bye spam posts... bye bye spammers...

Anyways back on track... I'll definitly be buying this region 1 dvd, hopefully there'll be audio tracks from Hurley/Arzt, that'd be a good larff

Yeah... audio commentaries are my favourite special feature on a DVD.

No confirmations as of yet regarding how many audio commentaries they will have.

Doubtful it'll be on every episode... quite possibly it will only have commentaries on the pilot and maybe only 1 or 2 other significant episodes!

steveland?

There's so many cast members though I wouldn't be surprised if they had a commentary on all episodes, like ones with just jack/kate/locke/sawyer, ones with jj and damon, arzt/hurley, charlie/claire, michael/walt, boone/shannon and so on

Stop!.... i'm foaming at the mouth!

I'd friggin' love that!

I reckon each actor should do a commentary on their own flashback. They're already going to each other's homes to watch on Wednesday nights, depending on whose episode is on that night.

Would be ideal if they could, but given their likely free time (some may want to do movies) between now and its release, it seems not possible. I'd say it'll still be a hell of a set. Definitely want a commentary from JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof on the pilot,
cos the origins of the show are very interesting.

(In a nutshell, the guy who originally came up with the basic premise and got Lindelof and Abrams together - Lloyd Braun - was an ABC executive who was hated by then CEO Michael Eisner. Eisner was furious at 'Lost' and 'Desperate Housewives' being commissioned. He didn't believe in either show (oh, the delicious irony...!) and was enraged that Braun pursued an idea he had dismissed. Braun had long thought the concept of a plane crash on a desert island was worthy of a shot at TV, but not in the Gilligan's Island sense. He brought in Lindelof who fleshed it out (characters, flashbacks, basic ideas of what the show would work like), but it was Abrams who wanted to add in the monster, the mysteries and the overall weirdness of the island.

Some of the politics behind those details are in the book Disney War, http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684809931/qid=1117734975/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/026-2260662-4637265#product-details

But given those kinds of origins, I'd say a commentary would be well worth a listen.
