After three quieter, character building episodes in “House of the Rising Sun“, “The Moth” and “Confidence Man“, “Solitary” ups the ante by introducing key elements that would continue throughout the season, as well as the series.
Let’s start with the lighter stuff first.
Fore Eight Fifteen Sixteen Twenty-Three Forty-Two
How awesome was building the golf course? Now that [...]

I absolutely love “Walkabout“. I think the big twist at the end of this episode (and what happens in the next episode with Jack chasing his dead father around the Island) was what really got me to sit up and take notice of LOST. The episode opens so innocently with Locke putting on his shoes [...]

Ahh what a “treat”, a Kate-centric episode firmly wedged between brilliant episodes like “Pilot“, “Walkabout” and “White Rabbit“.
Continuing The Polar Bear Party
Here’s the beginning of a theme that would frustrate many watching the show: the Losties not telling each other what happens on their various trips throughout the jungle, specifically Danielle Rousseau’s transmission and the [...]

I’m beginning on my LOST re-watch and I haven’t decided if I really want to write something for every episode, and if I want to post that here. Nevertheless, the Pilot is such an iconic episode, how could I not post thoughts on it?
The purpose of the re-watch is part nostalgic, part to look back [...]

Wow. What an ending. First, I have to say that I got it wrong on my pre-finale LOST thoughts. I made the mistake of thinking about the finale in terms of the mythology – about who will die for who, who will sacrifice for who and how the Man In Black will eventually meet his demise. [...]

The last new episode we’re ever going to get before the finale in just five days. Was it as exciting as the penultimate episodes of previous seasons (like Season Three and Four)? No. But it seemed like a good “calm before the storm” episode for a few final chess moves and a few revelations, just [...]

Okay first: Do not read another word unless you have watched this episode. I promise you do not want to know what happens in advance.
Still here? Right, let’s get to it.
So many things happened this episode I feel I should watch it a second time before writing this post but I don’t have the time [...]

As the cowboys Jet and Cord (from The Amazing Race) would say: Oh. My. Gravy. My jaw literally dropped and was left gaping twice in the episode, and that’s a first for any television show. This episode got me so excited I’m typing this after viewing the episode just once, so pardon me if I’ve [...]

Going to have to bang this out quick before I head out today. Overall I thought Happily Ever After, while not revolutionary was a solid LOST episode. One that no doubt lays the groundwork for what is going to happen with the Flash Sideways and sets Desmond up to be the hero of the series. [...]

Another week, another episode of LOST: thoughts as follows!
Flash Sideways – Sun X and Jin X
So we finally get confirmation on what the internet picked up from LA X, that Sun and Jin aren’t married. Everything else is the same though, they still love each other and Jin seems less of a jerk. So it [...]
