Anyone else go “Ewwwww…” when they saw that spider creeping off of dead Locke’s face?

I thought last week’s episode, “What Kate Does”, better than many have given it credit for. Tonight’s episode of Lost, “The Substitute”, was all-around solid and oughtta placate darn near everybody. ‘Twas great to see the dynamic between Sawyer and Locke again (even though Sawyer knew pretty much immediately that it wasn’t the real Locke). I think that tonight’s show also answered many questions about the lists and the numbers (even though we still don’t know what the numbers are supposed to mean).

One thing that’s starting to bug me though is the deal about the “flashsideways”. We’re three episodes into the final season and we barely know anything about what’s going on with them. Hope this starts to get addressed soon.

I’ll give “The Substitute” an 8.5 out of 10. And I might ...

Yah, maybe. Like a few days ago when I posted the “Dark Entity is trying to escape God’s judgment” notion.

Here it is this time: “Adam and Eve” are going to turn out to be Sawyer and Juliet.

Go back and watch this past week’s episode “What Kate Does” again. Trust me it is not a “filler” episode like too many are saying it is. After going through it for a third time I can’t help but think that there are some huge chunks of Lost mythos – that we have been hungering for – that were laid bare at last.

Here’s a hint to help you along: you also need to go back to “Not In Portland”, which was the first Juliet-centric episode. ‘Cuz the two episodes kinda, sorta go hand in hand.

If y’all are seeing the same thing that I am, feel free to post a ...

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™‚...

Inspired by Marvel Comics’ “Civil War” storyline from a few years ago, I made these banners that you can put on your own blog or website or whatever declaring whose side you are on!

 

Yes, it has come to this: the entire western world dividing up into Team Leno and Team Conan. There are natural disasters across the globe and corrupt politicians taking us for a ride… but thank God we have our priorities in order!
