I think most people I know would say I’m practical. Perhaps to a fault. Much akin to Jack’s “Man of Science” character back in Season Two. But like Jack in Season Six, eventually you realise, as Desmond says “You have to lift it up”. I don’t necessarily interpret that religiously (though certainly it can be [...]

Ah “The Moth“, a Charlie-centric episode that would both reveal his tragic origins and start him on his redemption path by kicking his druggie habit, a path that would pay off two seasons later. A great episode of LOST that is symbolic, moving and slightly cheesy at the same time.
A Vision Of Things To Come
Locke [...]

After two rather intense episodes in “Walkabout” and “White Rabbit” the focus of “House of the Rising Sun” tightens back on the characters for a bit, fittingly with yet another fist fight between Jin and Michael.
The Caves
Continuing from “White Rabbit“, Jack, Kate, Charlie and Locke head back to the caves and thus starts the beginning [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Great episode this week focused exclusively on Jacob and the Man In Black without our main characters. It seems a pretty polarising episode online, but I absolutely loved it. Here are my thoughts.
There are no Flash anythings in this episode so I’ll go in chronological order:
Unknown Date And Time
We start the episode with yet another [...]

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 [...]
