While you're waiting for tonight's blockbuster season finale of Lost, enjoy this fun feature from the folks at Television Without Pity (which has great recaps of Lost and many other favorite shows). It's all about how many of the characters from creator J.J. Abrams' various hit TV series bear some uncanny resemblances to each other. Like Dr. Walter Bishop from Fringe and Dr. Daniel Faraday from Lost -- two wacked-out but endearing geniuses.
Speaking of J.J., have you seen his new Star Trek movie yet? Not only does it have Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof as producer, and Lost composer Michael Giacchino scoring the film, it also has at least one in-joke that only devoted Lost fans will likely catch.
Which is: When future captain James T. Kirk is born, his father, George, is acting as captain of a Federation starship: the USS Kelvin. The Kelvin -- as in Kelvin Inman, the Gulf War vet-turned-Dharmaite who rescued a shipwrecked Desmond and then kept him cooped up in the Hatch for years, punching in The Numbers and pushing that dang button every 108 minutes. And neither Kelvin, let it be noted, comes to a happy end.
