About once per week I receive an email from the producers giving us special advanced access to features. We get 2 or 3 days advanced notice, so hurry before that password expires. And if it does, then stop on over to ABC.com to see what you missed.
Here is the text of the email:
RRRINNG! RRRINNG!
VOICE: Who is it?

Onomatopoeia is a disease all LOST writers suffer from. We're always looking for ways of intensifying the sense of action we're trying to convey on the page. So without spoiling what's coming up this season, we've asked our awesome co-producer/script coordinator Gregg Nations to pull up a list of some of the unique words that appear in the first 3 episodes of season 5. They might give you a very marginal sense of what's coming up:
From #501:CL-CLICK. BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP. KNOCKNKNOCKKNOCK! WHAPPP! VVVVVVWWHHHHHEEEEMMMMMM! PLLEPPT-PLEPTT-PLEPTT. BOOOOOOOOOM! BLAAM!!! THUUDDD. CRUUUUUUUUUNCH! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! SMAAASSHHHH! SHCLICK!!!! CA-CLICK. FOOOMP. SKLIIIIIISH. PING. RAT-A-TAT. BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!!!!
From #502:BWOOBWOO! TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP. KNOCKKNOCKKNOCKKNOCK. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. SLAMMM! THWACK! KRE-KLACK. BEEEEP... SLAMS. SCRRIIIIIDDDDDDDFLIP!
From #503:FLAPP-FLAPP-FLAPP. AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!! THRAAAAASH! KAAAAAAAA-THWOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! CLICKETY-CLICKETY-CLACK. CRRRR-ACK!
Not only are these words fun to write, they're also fun to spell check. As each one comes up, your fingers hover there on the mouse wondering whether to "ignore" or "save" or whether you're just plain insane.
Also this week, we've got a brand new video about the LOST BOOK CLUB for you, including a special reading from a book that appears this upcoming season. GAASSPPPP! What's this? Why, it looks like a first-look at an as-yet-unseen Dharma station logo. Hmmmmmmm... I wonder what the name of the station is? To check it all out, click on the link below and enter the password.
Enjoy. As usual, these are up for only 48 hours. Until next week...
Peace, Love and Namaste,
Damon and Carlton

HIGHLIGHTS
A book seen on a show is coming up James Joyce, "Ulysses". For those who have not plowed through the 265,000 words, the story is about the day in the life of a man, June 16, 1904.
The book is some mild controversy regarding some of the depictions the main character observes in this one day. Others criticize its wordy and over-descriptive style that makes Tolkien seem brief.
The book clearly plays off Homer's "Odyssey", in several ways. Characters even seem to line-up as Joyce's main character, Leopold Bloom, mirrors Homer's Odysseus...and Molly Bloom matches up to Penelope. WHAT? Penelope?
EPISODE NAME REVEALED
Check out the video and you'll learn episode 7 of Season 5 is called "3:16". I'm going for the Bible reference that used to be held up in the end zone of every football game during a field goal, "John 3:16", but who knows?
A NEW DHARMA LOGO
At the end of the DSA video for this week we get a quick glimpse of a Dharma logo? Real or fake? You decide, but they did mention it in the email.
