Man this door is cool


One of my favorite set pieces of this season is the secret door inside the secret room. And it's just so cool to have an Indiana Jones door the same time Crystal Skull comes out.

I haven't posted in a while. I've been crazy busy with the show, shooting six day weeks and all. But I'll try to pick things up.

  1. That's totally an Indy door! I just hope there isn't a swarm of snakes, bugs, and/or rats, lurking just behind it. I'm not sure I'd stand that close...

  2. Thanks man, the close-up of the door is great! And speaking of Indiana Jones..can't wait to see the new one. It's got some top notch actors so it's gonna be great.

    Anyway it's great to see you blogging again. I just couldn't wait for another dose of humour from you! :P

  4. The question is, what's the secret room like inside the secret door inside the secret room? Ben's house = Lost = an onion. It has layers :)

    Cool pic and always entertaining blog! Loved the last post.

  7. Open the door and you'll find brooms and mops inside. It's a caveman broom closet.

  8. Hey Jorge, I discovered your blog right after your last post, and I've been waiting (rather, excitedly, I might add) for another. Your performances on LOST have been SO great lately; in "Something Nice Back Home", I wanted to reach through my TV and give Hurley a hug! Keep up the great work both on the show and here. It's appreciated.

  9. That secret door is completely made of awesome. I'm considering have one installed myself.

  10. That is cool . . . it'd make a great bathroom door . . .

    I woke up this morning more excited than I should be that Lost is on tonight. I may need medication.

  11. My youngest son Harrison (Yes, he is named after Harrison Ford because I am a Indiana Jones nut.) He wants this door in his room. He thinks the smoke monster would be a great pet. lol

  12. My birthday was Saturday. That would have made a great gift. I didn't see it on my doorstep though.

  14. Is that the time portal Ben uses to get to Widmore's bedroom just minutes after his goons shoot and kill Alex?
    One minutes it's:
    "Helloooo Charles Widmore. I am the ghost of Christmas Present. You broke the rules when you killed my daughter and thusly have forsaken your own."
    The next minute it's:
    "Let's get Hurley. He knows where Jacob's cabin is."

  15. Man, it's even better than an Indy door :D

    Props to your ehh, Prop dudes :D

    Loving your character, really looking forward to the season finale, and kudos to the powers that be who slipped us the exta hour over what was promised, even if they did make you work extra hard to entertain us.

    Who said you didn't suffer for your art?

    Enjoy you between season break too when it comes about, I'll still be reading your blog, so don't stay away too long from it :D

    Thanks, as always

  16. Hmmm...Wonder if the art on the door have any meaning?

  17. WHAT IS BEHIND THE DOOR, JORGE!?!?!??!

  18. I had a feeling they were working you guys hard and that's why we haven't heard from you for a while!

    Did the producers have to approve that pic of the door? It has a much clearer view of the hieroglyphics. Thanks!

  19. Have fun at the cast wrap party. Say hi to Dustin Watchman for me. He leaves for Asia on Tuesday.

  20. Great photo!! Don't worry about us, we are just enjoying watching you on the show. You are doing a fantastic job as Hurley, never a dry eye with your moments! :-o

  21. Thanks for working so hard. I loved this episode and the door with the hierogliphics was one of the best parts.
    I am a HUGE fan and love the blog as well. Looking forward to more posts in the off season. You rock!

  22. Really nice picture Jorge. Thanks for sharing that one.

  23. I'm taking hieroglyphic Egyptian right now, so I'm thinking you should get us a picture of the full door, so I can try to translate it.

  24. Awesome door heehee

    The new Indiana Jones movie looks awesome! Awhile ago they were shooting here (Fresno,CA) so it is pretty cool to know that some of the movie was made here... I think it was a scene at an airport and they made it look like Mexico haha

    Keep up the hard work :-) I am anxiously awaiting the episode tonight!

  25. my hubby was amazed by the door the minute it was aired, he was very happy to see it again here. thanx

  26. You've been missed! How am I meant to get through a day in my crappy job without some blog action.

    Loving the work though so can't complain!

    Keep it up dude!

  27. You know, I've been looking for a new front door (true story). Any chance of me calling dibs? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  28. Funny pic!

    I've been a huge fan of Lost from the beginning but I just found your blog a few days ago. I think Season 4 is amazing and can't wait for more episodes.

  29. LOVED this set/prop. The whole thing reminded me of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. Esp. with this season's CS Lewis ref!

    I wasn't clear if Ben traveled across space/time - when going through that door, or just did something on the island.

    SUCH an amazing season. You're blessed to be a part of such a wowzer of a show!

    Kudos!

  30. Ta-ta-ta-TA. Ta-ta-TAN.

    Ok, that was me trying to make the soundtrack of Indiana Jones.

    That door... I dunno maybe it's some kind of weird closet. Maybe the smoke monster toilet. Who knows?

    A lot of kisses to you.

  31. Lost is going to slowly turn into Indiana Jones.

  32. That door is COOL! That's the control panel to the smoke monster. LOL!

  33. Jorge,

    Any idea what the 'glyphs on the door mean?

  34. Hi there

    Glad to have you back on the blog. I hope you won't desert us over the hiatus as I love reading your posts. :-)
    All you Indie fans be certain to pick up the companion novel that goes with the new movie. It had been written by James Rollins and he is fantastic with adventure fiction. Jim's book just might be a bit better than the movie, even. I kid you not!!

    I'm holding my breath and turning blue, almost, waiting for Thursday to get here. Just please no more dead people, I had a fit when the freighter captain was killed last epi. I was just really getting to like having him around. :-)

  35. Welcome back Jorge! I missed your blogging greatness.. :) I love the pic.. What a tease to us fans.. Hahahaha.. :)

  36. Awesome closeup of the door.
    That episode is my favourite to date - of all seasons.
    So many reveals that raise more questions.

    How nerdy is it to own up to the fact that I cheered when the Smoke Monster came?
    But...they survived?!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Jorge,

    Just curious, do you have any more pictures of the door?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Awesome! I just found your blog this week - and just now finished reading just about every entry since you started. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
