2010 PaleyFest Continues – “Lost”

What a difference a day makes – last night’s PaleyFest attracted an entirely different crowd from those who attended Modern Family the previous night.  I was familiar with some of the Lost fansites - but that still didn’t prepare me fully for the Lost fans themselves.  (I should have known, based on the fact that Lost is apparently quite popular at ComiCon)  While we were waiting in line, we were passed by people wearing everything from Dharma Initiative t-shirts to full-fledged uniforms.  And more than one Dharma vehicle passed us, though thankfully I didn’t see any VW buses go hurtling by.  The previous night had set a PaleyFest record with about 1400 attendees – until this one sold out and had about 1900 fans present.

The observant may recognize an audience member or two...

This event wasn’t as star-studded, though we did have appearances from Terry O’Quinn, Nestor Carbonell, Michael Emerson and Zuhleikha Robinson.  But it was every bit as interesting, as writers, directors and producers gave us interesting background to the series’ 6 years – and hints about how it might soon wrap up. O’Quinn and Emerson were suprisingly funny – something you don’t really get a sense of from their on-screen personae.

Once again, others have done a great job with recaps, so I’ll leave the descriptions to them.

2 down, 3 to go: Dexter, FlashForward and Glee.  Given the fans for Lost, I’m kind of scared for what I’m going to encounter at Glee…
