soup-emersonEmerson makes his “basic cable” face

Michael Emerson, better known as Benjamin Linus from “Lost,” made an appearance on Friday’s edition of “The Soup” (video below). He did an excellent job of gently poking fun at some of “Lost’s” foibles, like the alternate reality story line and the fact that anyone who dies probably isn’t going to stay dead. And, in a nice little bonus for Warming Glow, the clip that Emerson reacts to is actually the best ownage from last week’s episode of “24,” when Renee goes crazy and stabs everybody before Jack Bauer takes the knife out of his gut and throws it into another guy’s neck. SWEET! (“Lost” fans: please note the way that “24″ fans don’t yell at me for writing a spoiler. It happened a week ago, and I’m allowed to talk about it.)

Also below: BONUS VIDEO! A compilation of the camera-tight-to-the-eyeball scenes from “Lost,” created by Eisentower30. Ordinarily, this kind of video would get its own post, but I’m only working half a day today and there are only so many headlines I’m willing to dedicate to “Lost.” Coming tomorrow: DEAR ‘LOST’ FANATICS, WE GET IT. SHUT UP ALREADY.
