Ben and Locke, The Series?

If this happens, I will be very, very happy. Vulture is reporting that J.J. Abrams and collaborators Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec are actively pitching a "comedic drama" with the working title of Odd Jobs that would reunite Lost stars Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson as former black-ops agents.
As Lost was wrapping up its final season this year, both actors mentioned in interviews that they hoped to work together again in another series. Fans of the show, myself included, have also been hoping we hadn't seen the last of Lost's most popular frenemies (and subject of far too many YouTube tribute videos). But while it sounded like a great idea, it didn't sound likely to happen, either.
But with Abrams, who can seem to do no wrong these days, with one series, Alcatraz, being picked up by Fox and another, Person of Interest, being picked up by CBS just in the past month, actively pitching this show, it looks like there's a good chance we may get to see John Locke and Benjamin Linus back on TV after all.
So let's keep our fingers crossed. I'm so loving this idea. And hey, if this show works out, can the Sawyer/Miles cop show everyone wanted be far behind?
