Lost webisodes coming later this year

Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin KimAccording to Variety, Lost producers are planning to create a series of webisodes and phonisodes to accompany the TV series. The episodes will feature short, character-driven stories that will function apart from the regular series. Cast members will appear, but executive producer Carlton Cuse did not reveal how many of them would be involved. Production will begin in July of this year.

These webisodes have the potential to be very successful, if the popularity of Battlestar Galactica's webisodes is any indication. If it means seeing more of Lost's hottest couple, Sun and Jin, then sign me up.

Hmmm definitely more Sun.

Locke has some interesting background stories as well. Too bad Echo died.

For me as a consumer and fan of the show, they worked very well. They gave me something to watch in the lead-up to the new season. I felt that as a core member of the audience, I was given a treat that helped give extra depth to the actual season premiere.

Ron Moore called the production a success while writing on his blog. However, as a labor practice, it ended up not being successful because I believe the network tried not to pay the actors anything extra because the definition of webisode isn't really nailed down. Is it a new program, or is it simply promotional? If it's promotional, do you have to pay the actors and crew as much, or anything at all?

With Lost, I think it's too late to get to the core audience. The Lost Experience last year was kind of like a webisode, but it didn't really seem to catch on.

I would like to see Lost make an endisode.

Were the BSG webisodes really "successful"? Sure, they were popular, but they didn't really help boost ratings. They definitely did help flesh out some of the story that we didn't get to see, though.

Wow, they've only been talking about these since *last* year. Better late than never, I suppose.
