- LOST, but Not in Purgatory
People are still arguing over whether the Lost castaways were “in purgatory the whole time?” The finale was very clear on that: everything on the island happened. The afterlife didn’t come into play until the final season. That last season featured glimpses of what looked at first like an alternate timeline in which the plane […]
- LOST Finale: DHARMA Initiative Cake and Pizza
Remember the Battlestar Galactica cake? For last night’s LOST finale, Katie made an authentic DHARMA Initiative chocolate cake, and pizzas with the Swan and Orchid logos. The cake is chocolate, with homemade buttercream icing (vanilla for the background, chocolate for the design). The pizzas have an outer ring of sausage, with bell pepper strips for […]
- LOST Commercials Explained
Theory on LOST’s weird commercials: They figure anyone still watching doesn’t need to be convinced, so they might as well have fun.
- LOST: Return to LA
It’s off to a good start. They made a cosmic reset button work as a story device, explained some things, and set up an intriguing direction for the final arc.
- Breaking the Castle’s Fourth Wall
Hah! It turns out those ads for Heat Wave during Castle aren’t fake: ABC actually had someone write the Nikki Heat book as a tie-in. The first time I remember seeing something like this was with (appropriately enough) Murder She Wrote, with a paperback mystery novel credited to Jessica Fletcher. In that case, though, the […]
- Smoke
The “Mind the Gap” monster in Neverwhere sounds a lot like the smoke monster on Lost now. Speaking of smoke, I’ve been trying to figure out where all the crud in the air is coming from today. Norco maybe?
- “Lost” Panel Made of Win
The final LOST panel at Comic-Con was a real gift to the fans, with surprise guests, comedy, and hints at the upcoming final season.
- TV Shows: End of Spring Status
A quick look at TV shows we’ve been watching this season. Lost – Good season, learned a lot more than I expected about DHARMA, major cliffhanger. Renewed for a final season…in 2010. (Hard to believe that’s less than a year away) Pushing Daisies – managed to maintain the tone & quality, but canceled halfway through […]
- LOST: Ben and Apologies
Some thoughts on exactly why Ben Linus offered an apology to one specific person, and not to someone else.
- Pop-Ups & Cake! 11111!
Glanced up at server monitors. It was 11:11:11 on the 11th, tiled 3 times. OMG!11111111 Cake Wrecks: The Problem With Phone Orders. Now back to work… How appropriate: BNL’s “Shopping” in background of a Kohl’s commercial! Also: the pop-up summary bits on the LOST rerun are seriously annoying. Fortunately I’m managing to tune them out.
- Midseason TV Watching
Battlestar Galactica As we move into the second half of the final season, will all really be revealed? Season Four has been good, definitely better than Season 3 (which IMO got bogged down by the Starbuck/Apollo “plot”), though the logic of the Final Five Minus One doesn’t make much sense. — Returns Friday, Jan. 16 […]
- Lost Finale
That makes two very good season finales this week. Lost was more plot-focused, while Heroes was more character-focused. And we learned some very interesting things about the fate of the islanders. Spoilers follow.
- Exit stage left, pursued by a Claire.
Yeah sure, Heroes X-Men blah blah blah, but wait, there’s more. I’m getting a distinct vibe from the latest episode that has less to do with mutants than with good TV. This makes me very happy, all the more because I didn’t pick up on it until the third-to-last ep of the season. Of course, […]
- LOST Renewal / Story Arcs vs. TV Scheduling
Here’s a surprise: Lost has been renewed for a three-season deal… but each season is only 16 episodes long. The writers are glad that they have an endpoint, because now they know how long they have to tell the rest of the story they have in mind. (Call me credulous, but I’m inclined to believe […]
- Sci-fi mommy
I can’t believe nobody’s made this comparison yet……it looks like the producers of “Lost” picked the wrong SF TV-show lead to be Alex’s mom: Of course, it’s entirely possible that they might be able to land Claudia for a recurring guest spot as her “mother” (flashbacks maybe?), and thus call into question through visuals alone […]
- Lost on the Internet
CNET has an article on various websites related to Lost. Among them are official sites for Oceanic Airlines and The Hanso Foundation and fan sites for Mega Lotto Jackpot and Charile’s band, Drive Shaft. I’d seen the Drive Shaft site last year (or at least a Drive Shaft site), though it seems to have exceeded […]
- Lost: The Revolving Door of Death takes a holiday?
They gone and done it. They killed off the mainish character they were promising, and somehow they managed to make it someone that most people are only going to mourn for the loss of a cute guy. Heck, I’ve noticed a huge amount of anti-Boone sentiment since the series started, so there’s probably joy in […]
- Lost: Buck knives of the mind
I read the TV Guide poll on “What’s really happening on Lost?” a while ago and even then was sorely disappointed with their answers. It was obvious that the survey staff had chosen the responses themselves and then had participants choose, because people in the fandom have come up with much better explanations than “they’re […]
- Lost, Green Lantern, and Will
First of all, Lost has a really annoying tendency to place huge cliffhangers right before the series goes into reruns. Okay, that out of the way, I have some interesting thoughts about Walt, and the possible significance of his comic book. Spoilers follow:
- “Lost” linguistics
As a linguist, I’m highly disappointed in the castaways of “Lost.” In the time they’ve been on the island, not one of them has truly attempted to either 1) learn a few words of Korean or 2) see if Sun or Jin is open to being taught a few words of English. Instead, in painfully […]
- The Lost Compass
We re-watched Pirates of the Caribbean a few nights ago, and noticed that Jack Sparrow also has a compass that doesn’t point north, just like Locke on Lost. Clearly, Locke’s compass points to the Isla de Muerta! It’s in the wrong ocean, but they were off-course…
