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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Another week, another episode of LOST. I have really grown to like Sawyer as a character, but even some neat moments didn’t help this episode from feeling a lot like “What Kate Does“. All the episode did was:

Let us know Widmore and gang is on the Hydra Island
Give us a glimpse of how Sawyer’s life [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

First, let me start off by saying Kate is my least favourite character on Lost and almost every single episode that has been Kate-centric, I have hated. I can’t stand the way she got everyone in trouble with the Others back in the earlier seasons, and her constantly changing mind in later seasons (Jack we [...]

Okay so I watched the season premier and within 4 minutes it was obvious I was going to have many MANY reactions to the show, so I figured I’d write them down. Skip this post entirely if you’re not a Lostie.
If you are though… here we go:
The plane is fine?
Desmond on the plane?!
The island sunk?
Dharma [...]

After four episodes this season (Because You Left, The Lie, Jughead, The Little Prince), with roughly two focused on the Losties on the Island and two on the Oceanic Six off the Island, I figure I’ve been shown enough to finally give some first thoughts on the season so far. I’ll split between “on” and [...]
