It starts with a spectacular plane crash

That will change their lives forever.

Thanks for the plug Heroes.

Just kidding. But it would have been sweet to work with those guys if they did crash here.

Would be full circle for Greg Grunberg, no?

Melissa said...

Well, you did work with one of them at least :)

I believe Matt Parkman was once known as the Pilot of Oceanic 815.

ArtforLife42 said...

Seriously, i thought that too.
I used to like Heroes a lot, but lately it's just not doing it for me. -- Their reviews are so bad, they're stealing taglines from other brilliant, successful, shows...:)

Rachel Snyder said...

I couldn't believe it when I first saw that promo. It's been clear from the start that Heroes wanted (and largely got, at least at first) the LOST crowd, but that promo is really hilarious.

FETTS said...

Ha, I thought the exact same thing!

Unknown said...

Heh. I was amused by the parallels, too.

Of course, in my dream world, Damon Lindelof, Tim Kring and Ron Moore all get together to make a movie.

Question Mark said...

So it was Hiro, Parkman and company who were shooting at Locke, Juliet, etc. in the canoe last week. *slaps forehead* Of course!

Tuk said...

Hombre.. Parkman era el piloto que estrelló el avión en la isla!...XDDD

Empecé Heroes.. pero le falta algo... le falta mucho para ser Lost ...

Looks like someone already wrote the script: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gk0-o1X1s4

Julie Phillips said...

I think the office has had a few plugs as well. I know there's been more than one....

Sylar vs. the Others who will come out on top!!! Tune in tonight!

Julie said...

haha, I thought the same thing. For a second I forgot which show I was watching. Love the show & your blog, btw!

-a long time fan.

A.G.Wooding said...

Wait so there isn't going to be a Hiro and Hurley spin off after the series is over???

Afontcu said...

Hiro and Hurley together, wouldn't it rock?? haha xD


And what about Claire? I guess Hurley would forget Libby... ;)


See you on wednesday! :)

myanrellick said...

I thought about that briefly when I saw the landscape of plane debris on last night's episode of Heroes. Even if you do not love LOST (which is hard for me to imagine, btw) you have to recognize how much t.v. shows these days are pulling from it. I wouldn't say it's an attempt to rip off LOST, but the idea character driven storylines all interweaving together. That's totally LOST.

Please Type Legibly said...

Meh - I can't get into "Heroes"....

Unknown said...

Hi Jorge,

In march i'm in honolulu for a week and i would like to visit the set or make a tour if it is possible.
The lost set it is visitable?
There is a very long trip to reach the hawaii island, flying, i hope that is the RIGHT ISLAND and if we get the wrong island i hope Kate is there :-) :-) :-)
I come from italy, and it is a very good country to visit..think at italy :-)
All the best
Antonio. (antonioromano@interfree.it)

Mellifluous said...

I realize they are all over the internet, but I ran into a great LOST reference at Red Vs. Blue....its Red. Vs. Blue PSA #36: First! Its about new things to say on an internet forum. If you watch it, make sure to watch it until the VERY end. It made me laugh.

Brooke said...

Further proof that Heroes cannot come up with original material - even though I love Greg Grunberg.

Athene Numphe said...

:)

Of course a whole bunch of my friends and I are convinced that Alpert is actually a cylon ;)

maven said...

Was that Ajira Airways? LOL

TheJungleman said...

Nice promo! Your idea reminds me of the episode where the Russian Cosmonauts, Ivan and Igor, came to the island. Woops! Wrong island.

Unknown said...

It's sad. Heroes had so much potential. And I love Greg Grunberg.

Evonne said...

Nothing to so with this particular post... Why isn't the whole time travelling thing creating paradoxes (is that a word?)
Or is it?
Hmmm.

Heather (a.k.a. Bella) said...

I didn't even know Heroes was still on. ;)

Hi Jorge, any chance you can take a photo and show us your edible 'mini-me' in your freezer? http://spoilertv.iimmgg.com/image/5cfb93d0176efe96f5f3ba4702bd999a luvin your work big guy :)

BillyPilgrim said...

I'm sorry, but I really, really, really HATE Heroes. I'd rather watch America's Best Dance Crew. No joke.

Tasha Who? said...

^Wow... that says a LOT! I've tried to watch it, but I can't seem to grasp it.

Either way, the idea of "Heroes" meets "Lost" for some strange reason made me think of the episode of Scooby Doo where Batman and Robin cameo.

Vonnie said...

Just found your blog, been reading through - brava!! Very entertaining!!

lostinphilly said...

Heroes once was a great show, but just isn't doing it for me lately either. But because Lost is such an awesome show, other shows just have to acknowledge it in some way.Plane crash -just trying to get ratings to improve. But I agree with AG Wooding, a Hurley and Hiro spinoff would be awesome!

Julie said...

I used to love Heros the first 2 seasons. It was my filler show when Lost was on hiatus. I just can't get into it anymore though.

Lost/Heroes mash-up has already been done, check it out, quite funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjVdzIg9nEM

Bender R said...

I had wondered if The Cigarette Smoking Man (William B. Davis) would make an appearance on Lost, probably working with Widmore, but I quickly rejected the idea.

Bender R said...

On second thought, Locke was part of the Millennium Group, so maybe having CSM isn't that far-fetched.

James Hernandez said...

Jorge,

You never know, maybe Lost and Heroes has a mystic connection (one that I wouldn't know about since I have never watched Heroes).

ValMo said...

I would diiiiie of happiness if there was a crossover.

Kaileigh Blue said...

I thought the same thing when the showed the Heroes previews last week. That would have been awesome.

Shohom67 said...

That would be SO cool! Maybe you could do a guest spot on Heroes.

Benjamin. said...

Hey,

VIVEROS said...

Carolate said...

Everybody wants to be in the 5th season of Lost...

Whit said...

I thought that was pretty blatant, too. Hey, if it brings in ratings!

Line said...

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.
Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. nike shoxsSo he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. nike womens shoes The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.
Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. puma mens shoes Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. mens puma shoesAlthough the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. nike shox Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. nike 360 air maxSo he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. nike running shoesSince then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. NIKE air shoes The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.
On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend.nike air max He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite,wholesale nike shoes but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. nike shox torchIt was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.
"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.
"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand.

In 1981, ed hardy and his wife formed Hardy Marks Publications. In 2004, Christian Bale licensed the rights to produce the high-end Ed Hardy UK line, which is based on Hardy's imagery. Prior to the ed hardy clothing line, Bale was the Head Designer at Von Dutch Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Don ed hardy, commented, As demand for my artwork continues to skyrocket, I felt it was ed hardy clothing time to take on a partner that could help me manage the demand and opportunities for the ed hardy T-shirts name. Iconix is at the forefront of brand management and clearly has the capabilities to dramatically grow the Ed Hardy UK business. I'm thrilled to have them as a partner. Cheap Ed Hardy are located in everywhere. We also believe that by owning the brand alongside ed hardy clothing, the founder, there will be opportunities to further leverage his iconic name along with his new artwork.
