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 [...]

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 [...]

100 Bullets started in 1999 and ran for 100 issues before ending in 2009. I picked up the series maybe in the early 2000s but the plot was so heavy serialised that I dropped it and picked up the trade paperbacks (collected editions), and recently sat down and read the story front to back in [...]

So it has just been revealed this week on LOST that LOST “is a love story”. There’s no denying that the characters have always been the emotional push of the show (though the larger mythology appeals too) but I wanted to say how it’s interesting that the #1 television show ever (in my opinion) and [...]

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 [...]

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.

Before I start I feel the need to comment on how hokey Lost can be for people who haven’t been watching since Season One. My sister was behind me watching for the first ten minutes and when they showed the Temple she was like “That’s not an Island” and when they showed the Spring she [...]

Yes, the first episode of season six.
The first time in the history of Lost (maybe the history of television?) that no footage from the new season has been used in any promotional video, advertisement or any such media.
Why? Because at the end of last season, Juliet detonated Jughead (the hydrogen bomb) and the world turned [...]

Unlike many Trekkies, I haven’t waited for years for a new Star Trek film. In fact, prior to watching the show today, I wasn’t sure which incarnation of Star Trek was which and found myself wondering “when’s Worf going to show up?”, until I realised that was a different Star Trek.
Armed with that much “knowledge” [...]
