Brian 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.

Ken 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.

Javier 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.

Javier 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."

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!
