Coming off “Walkabout” LOST had to pull something big to keep things interesting and I think “White Rabbit” certainly kept the momentum going. As I mentioned in my review of LOST S01E04 – Walkabout, that episode and “White Rabbit” can be single-handedly credited for drawing me into the world of LOST and keeping me in [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Don’t hate me for saying this, but while I enjoyed this episode of LOST a great deal, I didn’t think it was the greatest episode of the season, certainly nowhere near “The Constant“.
This episode is going to be easy to talk about because it’s Richard, Richard and more Richard, but first we start with a [...]

Wow so much happened this episode and what a great Ben episode – I suppose we’ll start with Ben.
Ben (off-Island)
Ben’s alternate time line is perhaps the most pointed parallel we’ve had to a character besides Jack in The Lighthouse. In essence he’s given the same situation as in Season Four with Keamy and Alex and [...]

Wow so much happened this episode and though there wasn’t a lot of direct answers, we did get a really intense final 10-15 minutes of the show! So much stuff, where to start? I suppose with Sayid.
Sayid
First, Dogen is pretty badass. Thinking of all the people who have been killed at Sayid’s hands throughout [...]

Man In Black: They fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same.
Jacob: It only ends once. Anything before that is just progress.
As usual, thank you LOST writers for your infinite wisdom.
