Special thanks to Karri at The Fuselage

The monster is DEFINITELY Fury.
But he's also a genius.
As is Damon, times God-knows-what.
As is Artie and Karri, for running this board.
Thank you to them.
And to you -- whoever and wherever you are
-- for watching the show, for reading and
participating in the board.
With sincere gratitude...

Happy Halloween!
Thanks again for posting -- but, mostly, for
WATCHING.
Best,
JJ

The greatest thing about working on Lost? Is
watching Damon walk around the office all
day, drinking martinis with cocktail minions
in the glass.
Glad you guys dug the episode. How
sickgood was Dom?!

I love The Fuselage. It's the only place
Damon and I actually get to TALK.

My What: who's to say we're not doing a
show about time travel right now?
JJ Abrams says:
(Mon Dec 13 23:16:00 2004)
YO!
So we're sitting here breaking the story for the first Hurley
episode and we just wanted to say thank you to
everyone... the response to the Golden Globe nomination
has been overwhelming and kind. Your support means so
much.
And please, PLEASE, don't talk to Javi when he's online. He
spends more time on The Fuselage than he does in the
Writers Room.
YOU GUYS ROCK.
JJ

Doing great, Tari, thanks... will be even better when we've
finished outlining this episode...
JJ Abrams says:
(Mon Dec 13 23:25:54 2004)
Betsy --
Thanks -- and rest assured, THE MONSTER WILL RETURN.
JJ
PS: Then again, there are no such things as monsters.
JJ Abrams says:
(Mon Dec 13 23:30:46 2004)
Unfortunately, I gotta split.
But THANK YOU AGAIN for your support!
Be back soon...

I would visit bryanburk.com at least 100
times a day.

All good here. Locking Alias episodes, about
to black out. Have a good night, Ceirdwyn
-- or morning, depending on where you
are...
JJ Abrams says:
(Sun Jan 2 08:15:32 2005)
Just wanted to send everyone out there a
giant-like HAPPY NEW YEAR greeting.
Okay, I'm a day late for most of you.
BUT I'M IN HAWAII.
So it's still the glorious first day of 2005 for me.
Hope it's an exciting, healthy and happy year for all
of you.
Thanks again for everything.
Best,
JJ
JJ Abrams says:
(Sun Jan 2 08:24:35 2005)
If the board crashed, it was DEFINITELY Dom.
Partyman: thanks for the Alias shout out.
Hope you dig the premiere.
Sadasi: is THAT what you really think of me?
JJ Abrams says:
(Sun Jan 2 08:29:38 2005)
Weird about that Whedon thing. I guess he
never got the note. And do you know how
long it took me, cutting out all those letters
from newspaper advertisements?
Oh well. Guess I'll just have to KEEP THOSE WRITERS.
And Drew rarely listens anyway. One less ear
shouldn't mean much.
PS: Truth? They're all obviously insane-brilliant and I'm
beyond luck to get to work with them.
JJ Abrams says:
(Sun Jan 2 08:31:04 2005)
YO Goonies.
JJ Abrams says:
(Sun Jan 2 08:33:22 2005)
Zim: so far so good, thanks.
Ashley: hope you like Alias. There's some
WILD stuff in the first couple hours. And Jeff
Bell did an amazing job writing and directing
an episode called ICE that will be the third
episode to air.
JJ Abrams says:
(Sun Jan 2 08:39:23 2005)
Zim: Short answer? You'll TOTALLY be able
to just jump in. Trust me.
Longer answer? Okay, here's the Alias deal:
the show's INSANE. To understand it DEEPLY
AND TRULY requires mad thought and also
cracking your brain open.
But much of the complication is a result of
the wild twists of its backstory. And if you're
grooving on Lost, my guess is that you'll be
able to pick up all necessary Alias history in a
snap.
But to FEEL the backstory? You'll wanna
borrow the dvds from a buddy and give 'em a
watch. And you should -- we had some
incredible actors/writers/directors do some
CRAZY GOOD work on the first few seasons.
And the unsung heros? Michael (The
Incredibles) Giacchino, whose score is
sublime, always. And Kevin Blank, who turns
blue and green into countries and caverns
and skyscrapers (he's our visual effects
supervisor).
So there.

Kaidy: Highlight? Just hanging with the
family. NOT WORKING has been pretty
awesome, I must say.
Partyman: I wasn't AT ALL offended by the
comment!
Sadasi: Alias is about a young woman who is
a spy. Truly? THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO
KNOW. Does it help to know that her father's
a spy? Her lover? That her mother was KGB?
Sure. Do you need that? No. The problem
was, in the beginning, she worked for an
agency that was POSING as the CIA. So who
was good, who was bad, was TRULY difficult
to follow if you weren't IN THE CLUB, as it
were. There will always be complicated
stories in a spy show. But is what's
important hard to follow? NO.

FoxyGirl: Mission is the most
(professional) fun I've EVER HAD. After
working on Alias for four years, where EVERY
COUNTRY MUST BE SHOT IN BURBANK, the
idea of being able to actually DO some of the
stuff that TV just in NO WAY affords you the
chance to do, is joyous. And I must add that
working with Tom Cruise is a blast.
JJ Abrams says:
(Sun Jan 2 08:50:57 2005)
Guys? I'm gonna run.
But it was fun hanging out.
Again: HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Hope you like what you see next week.
Best,
JJ

Interesting, Terry. Too tired to have dinner
with me, but WIDE AWAKE for The
Fuselage. FASCINATING. Hmm...
JJ Abrams says:
(Mon Jan 10 06:49:08 2005)
Hey, everyone!
Thanks for the kind Alias words. But 2 hours
is just TOO LONG, at least I think it is.
Jen is driving fast on the road to recovery,
thanks for asking!
And People's Choice is just that, so how can
ya argue?!
JJ Abrams says:
(Mon Jan 10 07:12:03 2005)
Faith: HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
Night all!
And thanks again...
JJ
