Penny! We’re Here!

Here is some fan footage of the filming of a “LOST” Season 5 episode, just posted today by YouTube user “thelostvault.” If you have trouble viewing today (September 17), it may be because YouTube is going to conduct some maintenance at 6:00 p.m. EST.  Try again!

The video is just over 8 and a half  minutes long and features Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) at a marina with some Asian characters we have not seen before. I must confess, I am so desperately starved for new “LOST” images that I was willing to sit through the inane and obnoxious (and incessant) chattering of the people with the video camera in order to soak in the view.  You, however, would be well advised to simply turn your volume down and spare yourself.

If you’re a Desmond fan, you’ll get to see him stand around, sweat, jump rope, smile, and actually film several takes of a brief shot in which he yells variations of, “Hey, Penny! We’re here!”  Ah, but where, exactly is here? (Cue spooky “LOST” note).  Oh, and if you sit through the whole thing, you’re rewarded with a cool shot of what I believe is a baracuda that also crashed the set.

I just wanted to be among the first to blog it.  I love “LOST.”

Ezekiel 34:2 Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.
