I'm going to go out on a limb here and propose a group for fans for the creative duo that is Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof. While there does exist the NOMAD group for Damon fans, there doesn't seem to be a group for Carlton, and there definitely isn't a thread for admiring their great work as a team, and let's face it, their outright silliness together. You only have to listen to their periodic podcasts to know that these guys are great friends. I believe that in addition to the fantastic writers, cast and crew that is involved with Lost, it is DARLTON that is the inspiration and drive behind it.
So please let me know if you'd like to join up, if you like the group name, and if you have any great Darlton stories, interview segments or podcast clips you think should go into a Darlton hall of fame.
Darlton quotes
Carlton: [fan question] Howdy 'DamCar'
Damon: Now we're talking, because I'll be honest, I only get one letter in 'Darlton'
Carlton: No, you get two. You get the D A.
Damon: I would argue that it's your A, because my A is a long A - 'Day'. Yours is a short A 'Ah." So it's 'Darlton.' It's not 'Day-erl-ton.' So I get one letter.
Carlton: You get the first letter though.
Damon: This 'DamCar' we each get three letters. Finally equity. Do you think Brangelina has this fight?
Carlton: I don't know.
Future Damon: I hate you.
Future Carlton: You're not my best friend anymore either, let me just say that. Let me just be polite and say that. [strangling ensues]
Damon: You and I are always gonna be friends. I really care about you.
Carlton: I know. That's really the best part about this entire job.
Damon: I'm gonna tear up.
Carlton: I know.
Damon: I just think you're a great guy.
Carlton: You couldn't be a better guy.
"When you are curled up naked on someone's chest, as I have been on Carlton's on several occasions, you have made your choice." - Damon
"We spent a lot of time with Ana Lucia and Eko and Libby and the audience didn't really like them either, but over time...y'know...we shot them all." - Damon
Damon: We will never give story time to revealing the construction of the infamous rope bridge.
Carlton: And honestly, we're never going to tell you why the French lady has a Yugoslavian accent.
Carlton: Are we gonna learn how he ended up naked in the jungle? Like when the hatch blew his clothes off?
Damon: Well, I'd still like to know how you ended up naked in the jungle the last time we went down to Hawaii.
Damon: We’ve basically been feeding the audience crystal meth for a year, to cut them off cold turkey and give them a pack of chewing gum and say, “We’ll give you more crystal meth in Season 6,” would have been a disaster. When you piss off a junkie, they will do almost anything to get their drug.

Gang,
Sorry to do such a quick buzz by, but wanted to thank you all for your continued fandom. We're all crossing our fingers that the strike will soon be over and we can back to screwing with your collective brains.
Big props to all the new actors on the show -- Ken Leung, Rebecca Mader, Jeremy Davies and Jeff Fahey... if you guys like them as much as we do, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Also, big love to Drew Goddard and Brian K. Vaughan who penned this bad boy. Stellar work. I am jealous.
Stay tuned, my friends, the ride is just starting to get interesting.
Hugs,
Damon

Thanks, gang. So good to see familiar faces -- Hijinx, Carencey -- in here, as well as some new blood. Feathers, MKligman... your kind words and patronage are appreciated beyond what I could ever type in this little box.

You're on to something there, Rocket.
And Zombie... the "answers" special is Carlton and I making our best effort to tell the fans all of the questions we HAVE actually answered in an effort to deflect the ongoing criticism that we never give any answers.
I suspect this will backfire massively, but hey, we have to try.

Fuselagers!!!
I know it's been awhile... but hell, I was scared to come back here until we were
actually back for a couple weeks.
For those of you STILL up and on this board, I am beyond impressed with your devotion.
This was an ep I am particularly proud of -- One that reps all the stuff on LOST that
makes it what it is... Faith, Destiny, Free Will...
And lots and lots of DESMOND.
Big shout outs to Drew Goddard (a true genius) and Henry Ian Cusick, who is nothing short of astonishing.
Most of all, to you guys, the MOST hardcore fans for riding the roller coaster with us.
We do it for YOU, people.
Big Hugs,
Damon

Fuselagers!!!
Well... there ya have it.
I normally give shout outs to our amazing cast and crew... and let's face it, they all
brought it tonight. But I'm reserving my most specialist, grandest, single whopper of
a shoutout to...
YOU GUYS.
Why?
Because it's literally YOU who made it possible to have NO reruns this year.
YOUR words were heard by our bosses... YOUR complaints about the sporadic air
schedule of our little island adventure... YOUR love for the show shining through the pressure to know WHEN IT WAS ON!!!
Yes... I know it's a long wait, but trust me, it's a HELLUVA lot better than seeing a rerun for the next two weeks, then coming back for TWO new ones, then two reruns, then one original, then YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It was the WORST!
And so, we can now air this bad boy close to the way we intended... back to back to back.
And it you, oh wonderful and steadfast fans (yes, even you chronic complainers) that we credit with this victory.
I'll check in here and there over the break to drop some tidbits... but trust me, these weeks will FLY.
And then you'll have THREE TIMES AS MANY EPISODES as you just saw without a SINGLE BREAK. And at the risk of horn-tooting...
The real fun has just begun.
And we haven't forgotten about Penny Widmore.
And we haven't forgotten about Locke's wheelchair.
And we haven't forgotten about little Aaron.
It's all COMING, baby!
Love you guys more than you well ever know... and from the bottom of my cold,
dark heart...I thank you.
Big Hugs,
Damon

YO!!!!
Sorry for the quick buzz-by, but it's been awhile and hell, I OWE you guys for keeping the flame burning here at the 'lage!
Season Three has been quite an experience here in Lostville... one greatly enhanced by the arrival of our own "Others" -- The ALIAS writers... two of whom (Jeff Pinkner & Drew Goddard) did a BEAUTIFUL job right out of the box on this episode.
Jeff wrote Episode Seven (which will be our "second" season premiere in Feb.) and Drew and I are teaming for Episode Eight, which just might be cooler than "The Other 48 Days"...
Big props also to Yunjin and Daniel... they always bring it in a BIG way.
And BIGGEST love to all of you guys. Can't tell you how much it means to drop by the 'lage and get the honest and loving feedback from the most devoted devotees of our little island adventure.
Until we meet again, Peace out!
Hugs,
Damon

I'll sign you all up. Now let's get some famous Darlton moments listed! Later this weekend, I'll grab the link to the great podcast where they talk about discovering Carlton in the background of a photo Damon took at Disneyland 10 years ago or something.

LOL! You mean the photo of Damon with the guy, who was Carltons partner, at Disneyland with George Lucas.
I just listened to it, about 10 minutes ago, and I've already forgotten the name of Carltons partner.

oooh, add me too. although my excessive babbling at Carlton at DLA last year probably belongs in a hall of shame more than a hall of fame, lol.
