Lost

By Josh Clinton Dominic Monaghan - Yeah, we couldn’t find out if our favorite castaway/hobbit was involved either, but we tried. The Blackout was a worldwide phenomenon, so don’t expect the show to stay put in the U.S. The first 13 episodes will take place in six countries. One of the episodes will take place i...

By Matt Basilo I don’t think avoiding the break up was the main motivation for Jack or Juliet – a lot of people seem to be making this mistake (if you read the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly, there is one article – written by the same author who pens the episode reviews on their website – criticizes J...

By Alex Lawson Overall, there were some great moments between so many combinations of people. Jack and Sawyer, Jack and Kate, Sawyer and Juliet, Hurley and everyone. We got a nifty Juliet flashback dealing with her parents’ divorce and this one was conspicuously without the presence of Jacob, leading m...

By Matt Basilo And by the way, Jacob’s “they’re coming” comment? I think that refers to the fact that Jack, Sawyer, Kate, and everybody else will be returning to the present day. That’s how I see it, anyway. What do you think? And I’m sure this observation didn’t go unnoticed, but the “LOST” screen at the con...

By Matt Basilo Now if you watch, this show is clearly about Locke, Sayid, Ben, Sawyer, Juliet, Jin and Sun, Richard, Hurley, etc. Basically, the supporting players have become the stars, while Jack and Kate have become the supporting players (and frankly, boring).

By Josh Clinton Episodes 5.16 and 5.17: The Incident (Season Finale Parts 1 and 2) Airdate: May 13, 2009 “People will find out why Hurley got on the plane and how he came to get that guitar case in his hands,” [Jorge Garcia] said. [.... "] So you see me get the case by the finale, but I don’t know [...] Episodes 5.16 and 5.17: T...

By Matt Basilo I will say, though, that the opening minutes of this episode irked me quite a bit. It drove me crazy seeing Lincoln and Michael standing up on the balcony with their thumbs up their asses moments after the Indian official had been assassinated. I mean, by this point they had already discovere...

By Alex Lawson And the, for the second year in a row, John Locke delivered the big time, game-changing line of the pre-finale episode. In last year’s “Cabin Fever”. we got to hear him say, “He said we have to move the island.” And this year, when Ben asked John why they were really going to see Jacob, Locke casua...

By Matt Basilo I’m not sure how I feel about this whole Jack & Sayid vs. Sawyer, Juliet, and Kate thing, though. It’s strange, because I feel like they’re trying to make the latter team seem like the “good guys,” but are they? If Jack successfully changes the future – conceivably – he prevents the Purge,...

By Matt Basilo I absolutely love this theory. This is spot-on correct, in my mind. By grabbing the journal, Eloise KNOWS who ends up on the island. Hence her interaction with Desmond in “Flashes Before Your Eyes.” Since Daniel has documented that in 2004 he comes to the island and meets Desmond Hume, Eloise k...

By Josh Clinton J.J. Abrams was the guest editor for Wired this past week, and chose “mystery” as the theme of the issue. Here’s what he has to say about spoilers for Lost: People often ask me how Lost is going to end. I usually tell them to ask Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who run that series. But [...] J.J. Abrams was...

By Alex Lawson Only two more episodes until this season is over. Dammit. Hurley: “You guys were in 1954?” It seems like so long ago doesn’t it? Widmore is not only Daniel’s financier, but also his dad. Boss. I loved the Penny and Desmond scene. And, really, don’t we all?

By Matt Basilo Speaking of Sawyer, is his long hair covering the exceptionally short leash that Juliet has him on? Jack shows up at his home and is quickly turned away by Sawyer. Juliet says, “Tell him” and thirty seconds later Jack is inside and seeing a guy tied up in Sawyer’s closet. Then near the end of the...

By Josh Clinton This episode is a direct follow up from “The Constant.” It continues with Desmond’s and Daniel’s adventures. We get more info on Daniel’s notebook statement “Desmond is my Constant.” The early planning of this episode may explain why Desmond left the army.

By Matt Basilo I’m not sure how I feel about this Sarah being pregnant thing – part of me is saying, “why don’t you focus on tying up this main story in the final few episodes before throwing in such a significant, yet unrelated, plot device?” – but I did like Sarah’s reflective look at the path not taken. It’s...

By Matt Basilo Now, if you recall, last season we had that business about an Oceanic 815 cover-up, with a plane loaded with corpses found at the bottom of the ocean. In ”Meet Kevin Johnson,” Mr. Friendly showed Michael all sorts of stuff — including photos of an exhumed cemetery — that he claimed was proof th...

By Matt Basilo No “Previously” scene at the beginning of the episode? Strange. Was this a first? So this episode confirmed what most people had suspected already: That Miles is Dr. Chang’s son – the baby that we saw in this season’s premiere. And it seems that, sometime in the next few years, Chang’s wife [...] N...

By Alex Lawson Father knows best (And Hurley knows stuff, too) In 1977, the whole island was abuzz with little Ben’s disappearance. Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Juliet are all starting to feel their lie coming unglued as Roger grows suspicious. But seriously, enough with that.

By Matt Basilo In Season 2, Danielle caught Ben in her trap. She insisted to Sayid that he was an Other, but didn’t seem to have any proof other than her gut instinct. Shouldn’t she have recognized him as the guy that stole her baby years before? Thanks for reading. Enjoy the new episode!

By Alex Lawson In an episode I’ve been eagerly awaiting since that epic teaser at the end of last week’s episode, we saw some moments that have been discussed since season one, some great subterfuge, some lousy wigs and truly game-changing shift in the balance of power. Let’s dig in.

By Matt Basilo What exactly did Widmore do to get evicted from the island? Is it because he fraternized with a woman that wasn’t an Other, or can the leader never leave? I don’t recall Ben ever leaving the island. Ben seemingly does not recall Jack, Hurley, Kate, and the rest being part of the Dharma Initiat...

By Matt Basilo Think about it: Cassidy insisted that Kate only took Aaron to fill the void left by Sawyer (an obvious case of emotional projection). But when it came time for Kate to return to the island, what was her motivation? Was it Sawyer? No. It was doing the right thing for Aaron. And when she required so...

By Matt Basilo Since I’m rooting rather adamantly for Jack ending up with Kate and Sawyer staying with Juliet, much of this episode walked along the edge of a very thin line, as it was pretty Sawyer/Kate heavy. Things got a little too close to the edge at times – like even suggesting that Kate adopted Aaron b...

By Alex Lawson But it must be said that I am a sucker for old-school, character-centered emotionally charged Lost, like back in Season 1. That’s what we got last week when we cut to the core of Sayid Jarrah and last night when we learned just what Kate had been up to during her off island exploits. I loved it. I ca...

By Matt Basilo I was a bit surprised, by the way, with how nonchalantly Sawyer reacted towards living with a young Ben. Perhaps we’ll see more in future flashback episodes, but I’m curious with how Sawyer interacted with the young Other leader. And how did he first react when he met him? I hope they revisit t...

By Matt Basilo Speaking of which. the tense reunion between Michael, Jin, and Sun was quite spectacular. I especially loved how Michael asked Sun to translate for him, only for Jin to coldly inform Michael that he understands just fine. It was an excellent way of showing Michael how much Jin has grown in Mic...

By Matt Basilo I find it interesting that Team Locke has now officially dwindled down to just Ben, Locke, and Hurley. Sawyer, Miles, Claire, and Aaron are returning to the beach, and everybody else is dead. If nothing else, “The Shape of Things to Come” did just that: It set in motion the events that will lik...

By Matt Basilo I’m THRILLED that the show has been receiving such raving reviews from the general public. Both Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide have sung its praises — and I’d like to think they have some influence. In fact, in the last edition of TV Guide, New Amsterdam was not only the featured piece of re...

By Raffi Shamir flashback/forward: Ben’s in Tunisia. If it’s a flash forward I bet Sayid will make an appearance. Ben’s acting all James Bond at the hotel (I know, I use a lot of movie references today, bare with me) with a codename and special treatment. Interesting. But we get a date for Ben’s scenes – October...
