Buffy comics writer joins Lost staff

Brian K VaughanBrian K. Vaughan, creator of Runaways and writer for the Buffy comics, announced on his website that he has joined Lost as an Executive Story Editor. According to Vaughan, he is neither an executive or an editor, and the title is Hollywood speak for joining the writing staff.

As for what that means for the show... I'm leaning toward not much. Not that Brian K. Vaughan isn't a talented guy, he clearly is, but I don't have much confidence that he will really be allowed to do all he can. Lost has always had talented writers. Although, they have had some trouble hanging on to them. David Fury hopped a boat off the island and went to hang out with Jack Bauer. Javier Grillo-Marxuach later followed suit and made his way to Medium.

  • Javier Grillo-MarxuachKen Levine has a really funny list at his site: how most TV shows are, to put it mildy, unreal. Some examples: CSI having a huge lab that can figure out anything; the great cell phone reception that Jack always gets on 24; and the fact that Michael hasn't even been violated yet on Prison Break.

Supervising producer is leaving Lost

javier grillo-marxuach lostJavier Grillo-Marxuach, a supervising producer and writer on Lost, is leaving the show. He was hired on about two years ago when Lost was just a gleam in J.J. Abrams' eye. On his website, Javi says his gig on Lost was only meant to be a couple of months so he could help create long-term story arcs and basically plan out the series (and write a pilot!). Two years, seven episodes, and "one hanging hobbit" later, Javi said it's the right time for him to leave and let the other writers take the show where it needs to go.

Javi has been one of the most high-profile writers of the show, frequently producing the Radio Free Javi podcasts about Lost and his other interests, including comic books. He also is a frequent contributor to The Fuselage, the ABC-sanctioned forum about the show.

Lost producer creating a comic book

lost comicJavier Grillo-Marxuach, a writer and supervising producer for Lost, is really expanding his horizons. On top of co-writing two episodes this season, Orientation and Collision, he also hosts a regular Lost video podcast and regularly posts updates on The Fuselage. He's also been writing an indie-comic called The Middleman, which apparently got him noticed by Marvel Comics. He's working on the Super-Skrull miniseries, an old school villian who once battled The Fantastic Four, Thor and Captain Marvel. Grillo-Marxuach is re-working Super-Skrull, to transform him from a villian to a hero. There will be four issues, starting in March.

Grillo-Marxuach said, "It's nice to do The Middleman, which is my own thing, but it's really cool, much in the same way as my work on Lost, that I get to be part of something much bigger."

Hidden clue to Lost's timeline? -- UPDATE


It turns out the date on the x-ray MRI in Jack's flashback was just an oversight by the production folks on Lost. A fan site caught the date during last week's show and we all wondered if it was a hint about when Lost happens, or just a mistake. Turns out it was just a mistake. Javier Grillo-Marxuach, writer and supervising producer for Lost, confirms the glitch over at The Fuselage. No fun!

[Thanks, Izzy & Gaz!]
