Every time there is a post like this on PopWatch, I always put the same name, and that is Yunjin Kim, from Lost. How she has gone unnoticed for this long is beyond me. She at least deserved an Emmy nomination this year but for some reason did not get it. Here’s to hoping more people recognize the talent she has. —BH

The idea first came to Jeff Curtin and Adam Schatz the way so many awesome ideas do: in the form of a rock opera.
In January, the Brooklyn musicians were considering crafting a sweeping, “Tommy”-style tribute to “Lost,” their favorite TV show. But just before the ABC drama’s fourth season, they had a thought. What if they wrote a new song after each broadcast that summarized the key events in the latest chapter of the stranded-on-an-island saga? What if they posted the tracks on their MySpace page? And what if they called themselves Previously on Lost, a homage to the plot summaries that precede each episode ? Would people click and listen?
Since the concept involved quirky music, the Internet and “Lost,” a series with a fat fan following in the 18-to-34 demographic, the answer to that question was a resounding “Dude, yes.”
“I guess it was just something we tried for fun,” says Curtin, 26, a Washington, D.C., native who, among other things, works as an engineer and sound designer for indie rock Web site Pitchfork Media. “But it caught on and people started listening to the songs, so we were kind of bound by a contract with the fans to continue.”
So now, what began as an online experiment has morphed into an career move for Curtin and Schatz, including selling the complete 12-track opus, “The Tale of Season 4 and the Oceanic Six,” on iTunes.

”She was struggling with addictions, she was a rape survivor, she was a rock star. And we shot it in, like, three weeks on a very indie budget in Cocoa Beach, Fla. It was an all-around great experience. My close second would have to be Joanie Stubbs on Deadwood, because that was like walking around in a novel.” —Kate Ward
I’m reading T.D. Jakes’ “Repositioning Yourself” and surprise, LOST is mentioned in the beginning of Chapter 3. Since I’m not sure about copyright infringement here, I’m not going to copy the paragraphs from the book. Funny how our show pops up in the most unexpected places!
