New Show By LOST Writer to Premiere June 16

LOST writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach has a new TV show called The Middleman set to premiere June 16 on ABC Family. The Middleman and Wendy    Javi is a real favorite in the world of LOST fandom. He played DJ Dan during the LOST Experience alternate reality game, often talks to fans at Dragon*Con and has even been known to go bowling with the fans (getting us past the bouncer with his Jedi mind tricks).   Besides writing for LOST, Javi has also written for Charmed, The Pretender, Boomtown, Jake 2.0 and others. He currently works with Glen Gordon Caron (of Moonlighting fame) on the hit NBC TV show, Medium, as both a writer and a co-executive producer. The Middleman idea has been with Javi for many years and became a reality after writer Paul Dini (also of LOST)convinced him to pursue the comic book route where it was published by Viper Comics.   So you're probably wondering what The Middleman is all about. It looks cool and zany- but what could it really be about? If Spock were to mind-meld with Javier Grillo-Marxuach, what would he see? Here's my guess:    The following scene takes place after Javi visits Damon, Burky and J.J. on the set of the new Star Trek movie. Shortly after Damon shows him the new transporter room, Grillo-Marxuach calmly steps into the transporter bay and shouts "ENERGIZE!!" Incredibly, he fades from our universe and into a very strange universe where Star Trek is real and the actors are fake! Dr. McCoy: Spock! Don't do it!! Spock: I must know. I must know why he is here! Spock raises one eyebrow. Javi reaches forward, touches Spock's face and raises Spock's other eyebrow. Javi now raises one eyebrow. Spock is undeterred. He reaches forward and touches Javi's face in the classic mind-meld fashion. Then he screams!
