Hahaha did people think you were a fictitious spirit?

Your face fits your blog. I hate when I picture someone one way and they turn out to be so different. Sorry I missed the party. Boston is a long way away.

Daniel, I posted this at the end of a separate loooooooooooong thread but I'm posting it again here. Any thoughts?
I have a little theory here. I haven't read through all the comments so if this has already been put out there, sorry for the repeat.
I'm thinking that Kate (in the flash forward) is with Jack's dad, not Sawyer. I'm guessing that this is one of many horrible things that have happened to Jack since coming back from the island. It could certainly drive anyone, even Jack, to drinking and drug abuse. We already know he suspected his father as the "other man" with his previous wife. Maybe this time it's actually him. And maybe that's why Jack's dad is still drinking heavily after coming back to life on the island. And maybe that's why Kate has a real nice car now.
As for the coffin?
Hurley - no, coffin not big enough.
Bernard - no, Jack would consider him a friend
Michael - no, Walt would have come to the funeral (assuming he's still alive)
Desmond - hmmm . . . don't see why he would have a ceremony in poor area of Los Angeles especially given the money spent by Penny to find him
Jin - no, Sun (and many others) would be there and Jack considers him a friend and again, wouldn't be in Los Angeles
Sayid - no, Jack would consider him a friend (barring some kind of upcoming "betrayal")
Locke - possible. certainly not friend or family to Jack at this point. Don't think his death would upset Jack as much as it did. No family. No friends. No money. And Kate probably wouldn't care about him too much. But I doubt she would completely dismiss him the way she did.
Sawyer - again, possible. probably not considered by Jack as a friend, but I'm not so sure of that. Certainly no family (at least no family that knows about him). Probably no money. And if Kate's not with him anymore then it would probably be due to a serious fall out. But I still think she would go to the ceremony given their history/connection.
Ben/Henry - odds on favorite. No friend to Jack. No family now that Alex knows the truth. He would be reviled by all the Others for the lies and equally hated by the Losties. Certainly would have absolutely no money and likely live in a poor area. And I'll bet his death would greatly upset Jack after learning that everything Ben/Henry told him was true. Jack, indeed, had nothing to come back to and the island, or at least its "uniqueness", was destroyed.

Dude, Lauren is smokin! Checked out her myspace, very nice!

Daniel,
Thanks for posting the picture of you and the lost crew. It's great to put the faces to the names. You all look like a great bunch of folks! Thanks for everything, Adele

You're writing is so mature I thought you'd be a lot older. Thanks for the pics. I'm really looking forward to your season 1 re-recaps.
Posted by: Clair | May 29, 2007 11:17 AM
For those that will be watching season 1 & 2 again, are you purchasing DVDs? Is there somewhere on the internet I can acess these episodes?
THX!
Posted by: Jean | May 29, 2007 11:52 AM
I'm borrowing mine from a girl down the hall in my dorm. No need to pay a single penny I don't have yet I get to enjoy all the Lost goodness from the very beginning. Fantastico.
Posted by: Jessie | May 29, 2007 12:46 PM
Daniel! Great pic! What a great looking group of Losties!
Posted by: Lost in Texas | May 29, 2007 01:32 PM
Hi Daniel! Nice picture! Hooray, I got to see Lauren my blog pal! Now I just have to sign up to do the My Space thing. Yes, I am probably the only person my age who doesn't have a page.
Too bad about the Charlie party! I was at the lake all weekend and missed the invite you put up. I may have actually swung by. Maybe next time. Anyway, will be back on Thursday for your post.
Posted by: Carly | May 29, 2007 01:55 PM
Excellent photog. Looking forward to Thursday's recap. Will make these long months tolerable.

Nice to meet y'all!! Thanks for posting the photo!
Posted by: Rose | May 29, 2007 06:23 PM
By the way, for Jean... I think you can get them on ITunes (or a fee, of course). Whereas in Canada here, forget it... can't get them on ITunes or even watch the free episodes on ABC.com. grrrr... I need to get the first 6 eps from season 3. I tivo'd and transferred the rest to DVD.
Posted by: Rose | May 29, 2007 06:27 PM
OH god, I'm turning into a groupie!! Now I've been to TMZ, here and your myspace....perhaps I need a life...or nah, this is more fun.
Thanks for the pics! :)
Posted by: JenJen | May 29, 2007 06:28 PM
I'm in love with Lauren.
How do you get to her myspace?? Is she available??
Posted by: John | May 29, 2007 07:15 PM
Thanks for the photos Daniel! So nice to see you all. Is there room for me? =)
Posted by: Kitty | May 30, 2007 02:34 AM
Looks like my crew, Daniel. :o) Is that a Happy Birthday cake I see or a Happy Death Day cake for Charlie?? Hmmmmmmmm?
Posted by: Gracie | May 30, 2007 04:34 AM
Hi Daniel,
You and your friends are absolutely ADORABLE. I wish I could watch some episodes with you!
Posted by: Tristan | May 30, 2007 08:25 AM
Just as an fyi, yes Lauren is smoking hot and yes she is taken. That is all.
Posted by: Ari | May 30, 2007 09:06 AM
Thanks for sharing your pictures! Its much nicer to put names to a face.
I just bought my new Lost Season One on DVD and I'm all set to watch it tonight!
CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR BLOG TOMORROW!!!!
Posted by: Janice | May 30, 2007 09:28 AM
we can all agree that Lauren is hot. im a straight female, and even i think she is sexy. can we leave these comments out from now on?
Posted by: sarah | May 30, 2007 09:50 AM
ummm, why you gotta hate on me Sarah? ha! just kidding! let's get back to the main focus here peeps - season 1 recaps!! the best season ever! "Walkabout" is my all time, most favorite episode of LOST ever. can't wait for the recap on it Dan! i miss Sawyer already...
Posted by: Lauren, the LOST Nazi | May 30, 2007 10:11 AM
I agree with Sarah. Why is everyone going gaga over Lauren? She's completely average in my honest opinion.

Rich,
Could you change your name to Debbie Downer? You really take the fun out of things. You are the black hole of lighthearted fun. Geez...
Posted by: Diana | May 30, 2007 10:28 AM
I want me some Lauren!!
Posted by: allan | May 30, 2007 02:22 PM
You're all a great looking bunch. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us Daniel and friends.
I'm having serious withdrawal, desperately need something to fill the void, any suggestions for Wednesday night shows that don't suck?
Posted by: Shannon | May 30, 2007 05:39 PM
Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's great to be able to put faces with the names we always read about. You are a great writer and I really appreciate this Diary and the Blog on TMZ. It's great fun and some of the people that leave comments are really good writers too. I enjoy reading everyone's comments. Can't wait 'til next Season.

2 things, 1st you should have a "Tony should shut the hell up party". He is so annoying and I think he just likes to see his own posts and how people react to him, like me, I shouldnt even give him mention but he is that annoying.
2nd, I miss the Sawyerism, he is pretty clever in the names he calls people. I dont advocate insulting people but they are pretty funny.

BTW, love the photo of the group, nice to put a face to everyone. Also, below is from your myspace regarding the article Jack had in his hand and thought real interesting - could John Lantham be Michael in the coffin, it says he is survived by a teenage son...
The body of John Lantham of New York was found shortly after 4 am in the 4300 block of Grand Avenue. Ted Worden, a doorman at the Tower Lofts complex, heard loud noises coming from the victim's loft. Concerned for tenants' safety, he entered the loft and found the body hanging from a beam in the living room. According to Jaime Ortiz, a police spokesman, the incident was deemed a suicide after medical tests. Latham (sic) is survived by one teenaged son. Memorial services will be held at the Hoffs-Drawlar Funeral Home tomorrow evening

The cake in the bottom right looks tasty...

How you doin' Matt?
I'm married with kids and all but one of the first things I ask people when I first meet them is if they like Lost. This gives me something to base their personalities off of.
If they say yes, I know we will be buds. If they say no. Then we probably won't get along and if they say they don't watch TV then I don't even bother.
So, saying that, I know all the people in these photos are pretty kick-ass and we can definitely hang.
Posted by: The Aitch | June 3, 2007 02:50 PM
Forget Lauren, um, Matt...You HOT!

For those asking where to get the eps for free... try your local library! I have actually been able to get everything from LOST to the SOPRANOS to WEEDS from my very own local little town library. And the best part is FREE! Of course rental is only a few weeks, so you have to hit them hard!
