ABC and Verizon collaborate to squeeze more money out of you dear fan
What images would ABC and Verizon executives see in the black smoke?
ABC plans to produce 13 “mobisodes” or mobile episodes that were shot by *Hurley*. Somehow (even though as fans of the show we haven’t seen this) Hurley got ahold of a video camera and made a diary of his experience on the island. Also “SOMEHOW” Verizon mobile users will be privy to these episodes on their phones. Screw the rest of us, huh ABC? Yeah, well, I know where YouTube is and I am sure some friendly Verizon user out there will make them available to all of us, so screw you ABC!
According to executive producer Damon Lindelof, “It has been hard to get it off the ground, because we don’t want them to be … lame.” Well, could you just concentrate then on the hour long show instead and forget about lining the big boys pockets? How about instead of 13 mobile episodes that only a handful of people will or will want to see, make an extra episode for all of your fans?
Am I sounding bitter here? Is anyone with me on this?
