I’ve been thinking about the Season 5 premier of Lost. That’s why I haven’t written anything yet. I wasn’t disappointed. We have time travel, danger, unanswered questions, tensions… all that. The two big themes of the season premier are: What happened to the Island and everybody on it? and How will the Oceanic Six get […]

Short answer: No where. It’s still there. In the Season 4 finale, Ben Linus is explaining time travel [specifically "time travelling bunnies" - ha!] to John Locke in the Orchid station. Somewhere in the midst of that converstaion, he notes that if an object goes forward in time it vanishes in the present. It disappears. When […]
In Season 4′s finale, Sun approaches Charles Widmore and tells him that he knows that more than the Oceanic Six got off the Island and then tells him to call her. Widmore asks her why she’d want to help him, but she doesn’t answer. I think the answer is obvious. John Locke has apparently left […]
Update 5/29/08 Post Show: 1. I was right about the freighter. They blew it up. 2. I was right about Ben killing his daughter’s assassin, but wrong about how Ben got injured before he time travelled. I was alos wrong about Ben setting Locke up for a fall. Instead, he sets Locke up as the […]
Update 5/29/08: Originally posted on 5/2/08. I think it’s clear now that Claire is dead. In any case, it’s been revealed that Jack found out Claire was his sister off the Island and was told by Claire’s mother, who is now out of her coma. I’m not sure where Claire went went she followed Christian […]
Wow. Lost comes back with a vengeance. The body count takes off immediately, though it’s mostly red shirts. Three red shirts buy it in the crossfire when mercenaries from the freighter invade Eggtown and try to gun down Sawyer, who escapes in his his signature brave-but-really-friggin-stupid, bumbling, I’m-too-big-of-a-redneck-hick-to-die style. How is he not dead yet? […]
Update 5/29/08: The original post was dated 4/9/08. I was wrong on several counts. That’s quite frankly the fun of this show. It keeps you guessing. 1. The Season 4 finale brings Penny and Desmond back together, so I was wrong about them stretching out their reunion until next season. 2. Locke and Sawyer did […]
Ok, Michael is back as freightie Kevin Johnson, but what’s happened in the meantime? And how long will he be with us this time? According to an Associated Press article [http://www.daytondailynews.com/life/content/shared-gen/ap/TV/TV_Lost_Return.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=1&cxcat=0], Harold Perrineau has a few answers for us: Did Michael ever make it back to New York? Yes. Will Walt also be joining the […]
Update 5/29/08: Originally posted on 3/16/08. The Season 4 Finale has aired and the Bodybag Theory dies an ignonimous death! Ach! I love this show. It just keeps you guessing! ******************* We know Six make it off the Island as the Oceanic Six, but who else might be leaving? The reason I even ask is […]
Let’s count: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Aaron and Sun, right? The Lost creators like to throw curve balls. The question hinges on whether Aaron counts? He wouldn’t have been on the passenger manifest. And we know how media tends to forget children. Some have even speculated that either Juliette or Ben might pose as one of […]
I had a heck of a time settling on a descriptive title that encapsulates the idea that Lost is now proposing to us: that a man in two space-time frames can hop back and forth through time, not by physically going anywhere, but by having his consciousness hop back and forth between his temporal selves. […]
Update 5/29/08: This post was originally written on 2/28/08. At the time the Oceanic Six had not yet been finalized. Two notes: 1. Michael was not in the coffin. It was Locke. 2. We now know that Claire vanished into the jungle of mystery shortly after “surviving” the explosion of her house in New Otherton. […]
