I did not know where to put this since it is not episode information...........

A poster on another board said that she heard that The Today Show Weekend Edition would be talking to the stars of LOCI this weekend. There were no more specifics given and there is no specific mention of the lineup on the show's website. I believe that it is broadcast on NBC 7:00-9:00 AM Eastern on Saturday and 8:00-9:00 AM EST on Sunday. I think it is also broadcast on MSNBC for those of you with cable TV.

Again, this is unconfirmed, but if you are interested and have the time it might be fun to see if anything turns up. I would love to see some interviews with the whole cast.

I am planning to tape the Saturday broadcast just in case. I'll report back Saturday PM when I return if anything shows up.

Does anyone here watch The Today Show regularly who could provide some confirmation? Thanks,

D.

IN THE DARK
October 31, 2004 at 9:00

IT'S HEADS UP WHEN DETECTIVES GO UNDERGROUND TO FIND SLAYER OF HOMELESS MEN - When the body of several murdered homeless men are found sold to medical labs, Detectives Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) descend into abandoned subway tunnels - where they encounter its tormented inhabitants - until they discover all of the victims were newly registered for credit cards that were maxed out after their deaths. As they probe further, the investigators find a link to a suspicious auto parts salesman (as Butch, guest star Geoffrey Lewis) and his addled middle-aged girlfriend (as Rose, guest star Rutanya Alda). Jamey Sheridan and Courtney B. Vance also star.

...At some point they figured out that they were the same “star” – actually a planet, which the Romans eventually called Venus. Before they called it Venus, though, they called it the Latin word for light bringer – Lucifer. And, of course, that name got tied in with the mythos of a certain fallen angel... So there are all sorts of possible connotations with this title.

I didn't know any of this, but that last bit sounds right given the last line of the episode.
