Speaking of Spinoffs...

Terry O’Quinn, who plays Locke/Smoke Monster, tells me he is shopping around a bible for a TNT-type show that would pair him back up with his real-life chum and on-screen foe, Michael Emerson (Ben) - as suburban hit men juggling family issues. Though Terry asked me not to spill show specifics, he has spoken with Lost creator J.J. Abrams about the project and says, “I really hope this works out because Michael would be in his prime in this. We’d play kind of awkward partners.”

“It’s very sweet of him,” says Michael. “I’m all in favor of it. Any reason to work with Terry again.”

I'm kind of torn on this. :/

It just makes me go "aaaauuughhh, Lost is ending!"

But overall, why not? We could certainly use more Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson on tv.

I have a very hard time not typecasting actors. I can't watch the shows that are using LOST actors for that reason now. Once LOST is gone, I am sure the two would be great together in another show, but it would be hard at first not seeing Locke and Ben.
I'd rather see a spin off of LOST about LOST, but maybe I'll be satisfied by the ending.

is this a joke? like...an early april fool's kinda thing?

if not, i'm surprised that emerson wouldn't head to stage instead.
