"Losties" be aware. ABC knows you're just jumping out of your pants awaiting the February 2nd, 2010 premiere of the final season of Lost. So much that they've put together a contest with the sole prize being that 815 people will be given an opportunity to see a sneak peek at the upcoming season ... four days before it premieres!
I know, I can hardly contain myself, either. All you have to do is head on over to the sweepstakes site, register and answer six simple questions about the show (and by simple I mean you have to have been pouring through every scene of the show with a fine-toothed comb). If you get them right, you'll be sent a "message in a bottle," which is really just a USB drive designed to look like Desmond's fail-safe key. On the drive are clips from the season five finale and that coveted sneak peek: the opening minutes of the premiere.
But you only have until January 17 to enter, so you'd better head over there right now.
I want to sit here and say that this is a ridiculous thing and why would anyone want to do it, but at the same time I really, really, really wanna know what happened when Juliet hit that button. Surely, those first several minutes will be telling. Can I write here that anyone who participates in this is lame and a little pathetic, and then secretly rush over there and try to win one of the drives for myself?
if nothing else, the fact that it's shaped like the fail-safe key makes it a pretty cool collector's item. It'll go well with that shark I bought and branded with the Dharma Initiative logo.
