7 Things About LOST

A Final "LOST Untangled" and Some Parting Thoughts

I really am going to stop looking up articles, reviews and reactions to the LOST finale soon, and just let it be. Starting tomorrow. But I'm glad I googled around a bit more today, because I found a couple of really great links to share.

First up is this Lost Finale analysis found at latimes.com. I am sure part of the reason I like this article is because I agree with just about every word the author wrote. If you hated the ending of the show, you'll probably find lots to disagree with here. But he captured how I'm feeling three days after the finale: A little depressed it's all over, and still occassionally rolling the last half hour of it around my brain to decide exactly how I feel about it. And I've got the music firmly stuck in my head, which is not helping.

Get a Big LOST Finale Fix: Preview Clips, Untangled and More!

We have something close to a plethora of LOST video clips for you! One day after the penultimate episode of the series, ABC is dishing up some preview clips, and a retrospective with sound bites from the key actors in the series.

The "Farewell to LOST Tour" - Matthew Fox, Jorge Garcia Talk Finale

The Losties are on the 'finale' media tour, for sure! I'm still kicking myself that I didn't watch Jorge Garcia live on "The View" but i'll definitely look for the full episode on ABC.com.

They do have a clip up already:

Watch LOST with us tonight!

Eighteen episodes seemed like so many 16 weeks ago. Now as I write this, we're just over 100 hours from the end of "The End."

Darlton have promised it'll be just that - an undeniable end to the series. To paraphrase them, the big finale is not entitled "The End?" and it's not entitled "The End....". 

A Look Ahead to "Across the Sea" and LOST Untangled!

Well after the chaos of this week's "The Candidate" it seems likely we're in for a shifting of the gears, as the writers and producers of LOST give us one more episode with a lot of backstory. And this time, it's all about Jacob and the Man in Black. Bound to be really revealing.

But will they also weave in some forward movement on the island and in the Flashsideways? Seems they almost have to, considering that after "Across the Sea" we have one, just one more regular season episode before the finale.

Three, Two, One... Finale!

Remember all those years ago, when it was announced that LOST would end with season six? I'm sure there are varying opinions on whether setting a deadline was a fantastic idea or a fantastically bad one but either way, it felt a long way off. Now here we are with just three regular season episodes left, and then the two hour finale. And then LOST is history.

I read a tweet from co-creator Damon Lindeloff that suggests they're just hours away from finishing the editing of the finale. Apparently they were oh-so-close to done with it overnight.

It's Hurley's night on LOST!

"Numbers," "Everybody Hates Hugo," "Dave," "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead," "The Lie," they're all Hurley-centric episodes of LOST, and they're among some of the best ever in the series.  Tonight, Hugo Reyes is in the spotlight again, in episode 6.12, "Everybody Loves Hugo."

Some fans are sure Hurley is the key to it all. Others looking at the structure of the show think the character kind of acts the part of the audience, asking his fellow castaways questions we wish we could ask. One thing is for sure, if the producers kill off the Hurley character, they are never going to stop
hearing about it!

LOST - Both Untangled and Behind the Scenes

Just in time for a little Friday lunchtime entertainment, here are a couple of fun LOST clips.

A look ahead to "Happily Ever After" and the latest LOST Untangled!

First, Sun and Jin didn't get their happy ending this week in "The Package." And even though next week's Desmond-centric episode is titled "Happily Ever After," we suspect it won't be all sunshine and roses for Desmond either. Take a look at some of the newly-released pictures from "Happily Ever After," which seem to show Widmore's team conducting some strange experiments on Desmond. 

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 "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.

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.

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.

New 6.5 Preview Video and New Untangled

We have two video clips previewing next Tuesday's episode, "Lighthouse."  One is of an island-hardened Claire preparing to interrogate an Other on the whereabouts of her son Aaron. The other shows Flashsideways Jack and his mom dealing with his dad's legal matters after his death, and sheds just a bit of light on yet another way in which he might differ from Season One Jack.

Anyone else finding the alternate realities plotline both a lot of fun and a little concerning?

LOST Podcast- New video

Here's a little pre-Tuesday video for you: Evangeline Lilly talks about her take on "Flashsideways" Kate, and the LOST producers take viewer questions!

A little LOST video fun for you

In the first clip, John Locke asks Sawyer a key question. It's followed by LOST Untangled and a quick cut of last Tuesday's key scenes.

Enjoy! Have a good weekend.

Get expert commentary on the latest LOST episode- before the DVD's even out!

 If you're a casual LOST fan, then re-watching an epsiode before the next one arrives might sound a little, oh, obsessive.

But for the more invested, a second airing is a way to catch the little things missed, and to get a better sense of just how well an episode was executed - how it stands the test of a little time.

Preview video for episode 6.4: The Substitute

Next week we get a John Locke-centered episode, entitled "The Substitute."  As with this week's epi, I expect we'll see both Lockes  (or Locke and Flocke, one might say) in action.

Below is a preview clip for the episode- short and no spoilers.  And here's a photogallery with the latest pictures- as soon as preview pics for next week are available, we'll post them up!

Preview Video: Episode 6.3- "What Kate Does"

Fans who haven't seen the big premiere yet are warned: The clip below is a preview clip for next week's episode, "What Kate Does."

And our panel of LOSTies here at ABC7 will be commenting on each week's show, sharing their reaction on the episode and where the show is going. After this week, I'll include that in our blog post about the show- but with last night being a two hour premiere night, I don't want their efforts to get lost at the bottom of the blog! So here is what they have to say!
