Hmmmm…

I don’t feel at all that this was a “filler” episode. Way too much good character drama in “What Kate Does” for that.

Like most Lost episodes, I’m just trying to figure out what its real shape and form is. Where it’s going. There’s certainly a sense that the past five seasons have been well-invested but… invest in what?!

The scene where Dogan was “testing” Sayid evoked genuine groaning. That looked positively hurtful.

Anyone else thing that Claire’s blurting out “Aaron” in the other timeline might be some of the “main” universe leaking through? Perhaps a subtle hint at the quantum mechanics at work in Lost?

I’ll give this episode a 6.5 out of 10. Not overwhelmingly excellent, but not mediocre either. And who knows: there might be more that we saw in this one than we realize, that’ll be more appreciated as the rest of ...

This may or may not bear out as anything accurate to where Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are taking Lost, now in its final season. But there’s a zillion other theories out there, might as well add my own to the madcap mix!

It hit me like a mallet between the eyes late last night, during the 22 hours that the electricity was out from this winter storm. The first big clue was the title of the Season 6 premiere episode: “LA X”.

Perhaps a play on LAX, the abbreviation for Los Angeles International Airport where Oceanic Flight 815 was heading toward from Sydney, Australia. Of course, Oceanic 815 crashed on the Island and set into motion the events of Lost…

…but as we saw in “LA X”, following whatever it was that Juliet did at the Swan site in 1977, an alternate reality was created: one where ...

This was where Lost left us last May, with this final scene from Season 5’s finale “The Incident”…

(That’s a high-resolution screen capture. Only the best for my readers!)

The final season of what has been called the greatest television drama series ever begins tonight on ABC. At 8 p.m. EST is a recap show, followed at 9 by the two-hour Season 6 opener “LA X”.

And yes, I’ve got my DHARMA Initiative snacks all ready šŸ™‚...

DocArzt’s LOST Blog passes along info about the DVD and Blu-ray release of Lost Season 6. The really good news is that we won’t have to wait hardly long at all to buy it! Whereas there’s been a seven-month gap between the season finale in May and the DVD/Blu-ray sets, Lost‘s sixth and final season is scheduled to drop for retail on August 24th!

Also arriving that day will be Lost: The Complete Collection ($229.99 for the DVD and $279.99 for Blu-ray) containing all of the season sets and bonus material, plus an extra disc of exclusive content. Maybe a good buy if you don’t have any of the sets yet, but I’ll prolly pass and just get the regular Season 6 Blu-ray set, since I’m already well on my way to building up my Lost Blu-ray collection šŸ™‚...

ABC’s Lost, perhaps the most defining and innovative show of the decade, will begin its sixth and final season on February 2nd, 2010. That’s a Tuesday night by the way, which is where Lost will be from here on out (apart from a break for the Winter Olympics). Eighteen hours spread out over sixteen episodes will begin with the two-hour season premiere, “LA X”.

Can showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse wrap up everything in those 18 hours?! In no particular order we’ve got: the smoke monster, Jacob, Richard’s eternal youthfulness, Walt being “special”, Christian Shepherd and why he’s still walking around, the statue, the Temple (which we have yet to get a serious look at), the food drops, why Marvin Candle uses those names for different DHARMA films, the hollowed-out Bible, the Black Rock, whoever thought to build the pendulum inside the Lamppost station (I’ve thought since ...

I do not watch much television, truth be known. A show has to be mighty impressive for me to invest the time to keep up with it on a regular basis. But I can’t recall any show that has so captivated my imagination as has ABC’s Lost. And of all the remarkable characters from the magnificent Lost ensemble, few have been more intriguing than Benjamin Linus (shown here from last season’s episode “316” as he shares the story of Thomas the Apostle), played as no one else could by Michael Emerson. Is Benjamin a bad guy? A good guy? Someone with an agenda we can’t even begin to imagine? Even now going into the show’s final season, Ben Linus is a complete mystery.

Last night at the Emmy Awards, Emerson finally got his long-deserved recognition: he won the Best Supporting Actor for a dramatic series. Considering that there ...
