For some reason there were three official video podcasts this week.
In this one, Emilie de Ravin talks about why she enjoys playing Feral Claire, and what she would like to do with the squirrel baby.
The other two podcasts are in the next post.

Sideways Ben
We’ve got a Ben-centric episode this week! I’m sure it’s going to be good.
The schedule is the same as usual — an enhanced rerun at 8:00, and the new episode at 9:00 (an hour earlier Central time).
8:00 Enhanced 6×06 Sundown
9:00 New episode 6×07 Dr. Linus
Ben deals with the consequences of an uncovered lie.
I’m excited to announce that I’m going to be guest blogging this episode on Wednesday at a LOST chat on the Mother Jones site. I’ll post the URL when I get it, but in the meantime, you can read their chat from last week: MoJo Sundown chat.

Congratulations to Michael Giacchino, LOST’s composer, for winning the 2010 Oscar for Best Original Score for the movie Up.
Memorable quote from his acceptance speech:
I know there are kids out there that don’t have that support system, so if you’re out there and you’re listening, listen to me — if you want to be creative, get out there and do it. It’s not a waste of time. Do it. OK?
Here’s a clip of the music from Up:
How’s that for a post title?
This first video is a mash-up of Hurley scenes and a Miley Cyrus song. Party in the U.S.A. Funny! It got a thumbs up from Carlton Cuse on Twitter, and you’ll see why when you watch it:
This one shows what LOST would be like if it were Baywatch:
And here’s a sweet collection of LOST love scenes. Very well done!
These were all made by the artist known as Sophie, who you can find on YouTube and Facebook.
This scene is from the sideways world. It’s SO good:
And, if I can toot my own horn for a sec, Elba, the word that Ben writes on the blackboard in the clip, is something I was thinking about when I wrote my theory Oedipus Lost.
That theory, which I wrote before Season 6 started, now appears to be wrong in some respects. But I think in one respect — that something is going on that has to do with exile — it might be close to being right. Though from what we’ve seen so far this season, it wasn’t Jacob who was in exile and trapped on the Island against his will (which is what I had been thinking at the time) — it was Smokey.
Theories aside, I love to watch sideways Ben as a teacher. That scene from a few episodes back where he was fussing over the coffee pot in the break room was one of my favorite of the season so far. It was pitch perfect — it seemed exactly how Ben would have turned out if he hadn’t been immersed in the Pool of Doom in the temple as a child.
The sneak peek for next week’s episode has been leaked early.
I love the way Michael Emerson says the line “I’m fine, thank you.”
Latestlost, who posted the clip, calls it “very spoilery.” In my opinion, it’s not particularly spoilerish (assuming you’ve already seen 6×06 Sundown), but consider yourself warned.
