NBC Orders Locke & Linus Pilot

All right, it is not exactly Locke & Linus, but that is how J. J. Abrams pitched the potential series re-teaming Lost veterans Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson's as retired black ops secret agents who still manage to get into trouble. Te show has been ordered to pilot by NBC.

So there is some potentially good news to brighten up what is shaping up to be a bleak future for the television landscape. Presumably, the as yet titled series would not appear until next fall even if picked up, but i suppose it could be a summer series. One would hope not. those are awfully forgettable.

Anyone who remembers Millennium remembers fondly how O'Quinn can play a nasty, but entertaining secret agent. Emerson's evil Ben Linus has got to be even fresher i your mind. The chemistry between the two on lost was one of the highlights of the show. I am looking forward to a potential series here.
