7 Things About LOST

7 Things About LOST: "The Package"

I'm away on vacation this week, and was actually at the Yankees-Blue Jays game when LOST aired last night. It is, I'm pretty sure, the first time since at least season two that I waited until the next day to watch an episode. I have to say I feel like I didn't miss much. This one will not go on many favorite lists, I'm pretty sure.

That said, here are "7 Things About LOST: The Package."

I have a bad feeling about this one....

A couple of weeks ago it looked like Ben's number was up, so to speak. But he survived the episode "Dr. Linus" in a most unexpected way. I'm wondering if Jin and Sun will be as lucky after tonight's show, "The Package"?

The Kwons haven't been in the same place since the end of season four, when Jin seemed to have perished in the explosion on the freighter sent to the island by Charles Widmore.

This is "The End" my friend....

The creative team of LOST, which came up with such great episode titles as "All the Best Cowboys have Daddy Issues," (season one) "Man of Science, Man of Faith," (season three) and "Some Like it Hoth" (season five) have announced the title for the very last episode ever.

You may already have heard the news, and the title is "The End."  That's it, just "The End."  I think there are two possibilities...

A Look Ahead to "The Package" and "Ab Aeterno Untangled"

Sometimes the most dramatic shows turn out to be the easiest ones to spoof, and so it is with last night's LOST: The latest episode of "Untangled" is pretty darned funny.

This past week's episode was much-anticipated among long time viewers, and it seems that's why so few pictures and just about no video were released. But there are already bits and pieces of next week's show available, including a clip from Episode 6.10: "The Package" and pictures - one is here, more coming tomorrow.

7 Things About LOST: "Ab Aeterno"

Well. Now we know what the island is. The island is a cork. It's the most beautiful prison on earth. And it's hell - if your only goal is to get away from it and you can't.

We also learned a few other things: That Smokey and the Man in Black are most definitely the same creature in different forms. And that Jacob believes mankind is inherently good while Smokey tends to focus on the evil- and is in fact evil incarnate himself, something so awful he has to be caged in paradise to save the rest of the world from his pure, unadulterated nastiness.

Richard Alpert: Mystery solved?

Tonight is a big night for hardcore LOST fans, as we finally get Richard Alpert's back story. Who is this character who appears out of nowhere in the jungle, who looks very much the same whether the year is 2004, 1977 or 1954?

My only concern about tonight's episode is the old saying "Watch out what you wish for, you just might get it." Not that I think we'll get anything less than a 'wow!' show. But with every answer we get, we're getting closer to the end - and realizing how much fun the mysteries have been.

Is this a picture of Flocke's 'crazy' mom?

We have new sneak peek pictures from the upcoming episode of LOST! Just released are half a dozen pictures from the episode "Ab Aeternum" airing March 23rd on WABC.

It's all about Richard Alpert this time, and we'll get his back story. But it also appears now that it's quite a bit about Jacob and the Man in Black. And there are pictures of an unidentified woman.

Just last week, Flocke told Kate a story about how he is still working through his start in life, born to a 'crazy' mom. Is this her?

Here's a look at all the sneak peek pics released so far for "Ab Aeternum."

More to come before Tuesday!

A Look ahead to "Ab Aeterno" and the latest LOST Untangled!

After next Tuesday, we will know a lot more about Richard Alpert, who might have been a sailor on the Black Rock, who may be the recipient of the mixed blessing of eternal youth, and who definitely spent years and years as Jacob's advisor and go-to guy.

 Episode 6.9 is fittingly entitled "Ab Aeterno," which I take it loosely translates into 'from the beginning of time'  This should be good.

Sawyer's Last Long Con?

Where do we start with an episode that packed about three shows' worth of activity into 42 minutes? I can only hope to do it justice, just as I can only hope that the producers and writers of our much-loved show will please just stop introducing new characters and additional 'sides' to this battle.

With that rant (okay, there's one more rant later)... here are our "7 Things About LOST: "Recon."

Watch LOST With Us Tonight!

It's Tuesday, and it's Sawyer's turn on LOST! We'll get a James-centered episode, both on and off the island, following the pattern we've seen all season.

Several of this year's episodes also share something else in common: The title says a little bit of something about both the Version 1.0 Losties, and their Flashsideways counterparts.

Michael Emerson offers expert commentary on "Dr. Linus"

ABC.com has a pretty neat feature that allows you to watch each episode of Season Six with some special guest commentary. And this week, it's none other than Michael Emerson himself, offering up his inside thoughts on his very own episode, "Dr. Linus."  Here's some info on how you can find the expert commentary, and how to make it work.

ABC hits the "Wayback Machine" for New LOST Video, and New "Untangled"

Oh my - I downloaded the latest LOST video from ABC today. It had a long convoluted name full of letters, characters and numbers and so I wasn't sure quite what to expect. Promo for next week's show? A more general 'spot' promoting the season?

Brand new sneak peek LOST pictures and video

So first off, my apologies: I said yesterday that in the next episode we will get Richard Alpert's back story. Turns out I was a week ahead of things.

Reaction to "Dr. Linus" and a look ahead to "Recon"

I'm not the only Lostie in the building. Several of my co-workers are big fans, too, and we all have our perspectives on what's going on this eventful season. Here are reactions to "Dr. Linus" from two of them.

7 Things About LOST: Dr. Linus

It's official: After Tuesday's episode, "Dr. Linus," it really seems that the Season Six Flashforward world is a glimpse at what might be,  i.e. the core characters' shot at redemption. Either that, or it is wishful thinking incarnate. How that plays out is yet to be determined. What played out Tuesday night was yet another really amazing episode of LOST!

So here, this week by character, is our "7 Things About LOST: Dr. Linus"

Watch LOST with us tonight!

There's been very little Ben in the past few episodes of LOST. That changes this week, with the latest episode, "Dr. Linus".

From the sneak peek pics that have been released, it appears that we'll see quite a bit of Flashsideways Ben, who is a European History teacher at the school where Flashsideways John Locke is temping as a substitute teacher. It ought to be interesting to see what kind of guy this Ben turns out to be.

Darlton Answer Fan Questions and Emilie de Ravin Interview

Just in time for the weekend, some new LOST video. The producers take a viewer's question about LOST, and Emilie de Ravin talks about playing "Feral Claire".

New sneak peek pictures and video for episode 6.7: "Dr. Linus"

He may be a villain, but that doesn't mean Losties don't appreciate Ben Linus. He had us at "You guys got any milk?" - the question he asked of Jack and Locke over breakfast in "The Whole Truth" after taunting them by casually implying how he might just have set a trap in the jungle for their fellow castaways. He went from a bit player to a pot-stirring core character. Let's face it, without Ben LOST might have just been about a bunch of plane crash survivors running around arguing about who stole the drinking water and how to divvy up the Dharma food drops.

But if you're a Ben fan, the preview for this week's show is cause for alarm.

7 Things about LOST: Sundown

Sorry this blog entry took longer than usual to post, but writing about LOST is becoming an increasingly challenging thing to do as we get deeper into season six. And wow- what an episode we had in "Sundown." If Stephen King is still watching the show, I'm thinking he liked this one.

Here are our "7 Things About LOST: Sundown"

A wild "Sundown," and is Ben in big trouble?

 Well Tuesday night's episode, "Sundown" is going to require a little thought and perhaps another watch in the morning before it will allow itself to be fully blogged about. Just so much going on tonight. Clearly the sides are being drawn up: Team Smokey and Team Jacob, and you just know they will be facing off in a huge way before the big finale. 

Watch LOST with us tonight!

We haven't seen much of Sayid since he caught his breath after the incident in the very compromised 'lifesaving waters' of the Others' temple, It'll be very interesting to see where he goes from here, and if that warning that he's infected by darkness turns out to be fact, or just one temple masters' opinion.

Video Preview for "Sundown"

Wow! There's a new promo out for tonight's episode- and it contains some pretty big news. That is, if Ben's not lying. Which would seem to be fifty-fifty, but he sounds pretty sure....

"Sundown" Preview: Sayid in the Spotlight

We are up to episode 6.6 this week, with only 12 more new episode of LOST *ever* after Tuesday!! Is anyone else starting to be bummed out by these particular numbers?   This week, the focus is on Sayid - both "Bomb Squad" Sayid on the island, and his Flashsideways counterpart.
