What's Hot: 4x03: Ben's Secret Playhouse
What's Hot: 4x03: Ben's Secret Playhouse
This summer marks the beginning of a very long hiatus that will lead us directly to the end of Lost, a very bitter sweet buildup for fans of Lost everywhere. In the past, the hiatus has been a nice break for some of us to escape the world of Lost for a few months before being sucked back in to our great little community. But this summer will be different for some of you who chose to join us over the long hiatus. I will be hosting a rewatching lost series at our good friend Docarzt's Lost Blog site this summer, and Sledgeweb's Lost Stuff will be directly involved in the festivities. To get the details on just what reWatching Lost will be and how you can be a part of it, follow the jump to the rest of the article.
reWatching Lost, put simply, is a cross between a book club and a watch party. We'll start our journey on June 1 and over the course of the next 7 months we'll be rewatching every episode of Lost, four episodes a week during the summer, then three episodes a week through the fall, leading up to the season 6 premiere in January 2010. Sound ambitious? You bet it is! This is our last summer and next season will mark the last one of a show that we all hate to see go. For this reason its never been a better time to do this, and what better way than as a community of fans.
The details are quite simple. Monday of each well will begin our new set of episodes to watch. If you choose to participate with us, you'll need to watch the specified four episodes between Monday and Sunday of each week. On Sunday afternoon/evening, I'll be posting a general writeup article at DocArzt and Friend's Lost Blog. This writeup will give a general summary of the 4 episodes and point out some items of interest that may have more meaning to us now that we know what we know. At the end of the article, I'll provide links to other lost sites and blogs who will also be participating in the reWatch party. Sledgeweb's Lost Stuff will be one of those sites.
SWLS's Role
Here at Sledgeweb's, we'll be participating in the event by writing at least 2 articles each week over that week's episodes. One article will be to remind viewers of the mysteries/investigations from those episodes that may bear more significance now that we know what we know. The second article will delve into any mysteries that were presented that seem to be a dead end, or probably not resolvable by the end of the series. The second article will be mostly speculation based on what we've seen through the fifth season. In addition there may be more articles at SW each week that delve into various aspects of the reWatch.
Not interested in trying to rewatch four episodes of Lost each week, or simply don't think you can keep up? That's fine too. Feel free to pop in on the site each week (new articles go up every Sunday) and read what we thought about the episodes, regardless of whether you had a chance to watch them all or not, and let us know what you think.
Further details as well as the schedule for what episodes we'll be watching and writing about each week, see the official launch post here at Docarzt's. I sincerely hope you'll join us for this reWatching event and ride the wave with us to the final season of Lost.

Are their going to be re-watch articles on this web-site? I was under the impression that was going to happen. Give us an update and let us know whats up.
Thank you!
So, is there going to be a new thread area in the forum for the reWatch? Or do we put our comments in the old threads?
I'm already up to the middle of Season 3. Guess I'll have to wait until everybody catches up!
I had already planed on re watching this summer so this sounds awesome! Now it's a bonus to have everyone else doing it too so we can all talk about it together! (Still!)
I'm unsure if I'll be able to participate. I suppose it will depend on how fast my internet is and how many other obligations I create for myself over the summer.
I'd be all for an insane, commercial-free marathon the whole week leading up to the series finale, but something makes me think ABC won't do that. :)
I would love to reWatch the entire series but I honestly don't think I can do it. Too many other things to watch in my dwindling free time. But I very much look forward to reading your articles. Great idea!
I'm excited to re-watch also...I'm worried about keeping up during the school year (I teach) but the schedule is a good tool to keep me on track.
Neoloki, you can always move at a faster pace than the rest of us. Our articles will just be behind you. :) But that's okay. You'll be ahead of the game.
Sounds good!
Yes, definitely count me in. My problem will be limiting the rewatch to 4 a week. Once I start watching older episodes it is hard for me to put it down and not go into marathon mode. However, it works it will be great to go over older episodes and get peoples opinions. I, also, didn't start following the blogs until the start of season 3 so this will be a treat. Doc Arzt's site is my favorite comprehensive Lost site.
Count me in! My daughter has been wanting to watch the series from the beginning so this is the perfect way for us to do it! I would love to rewatch the early episodes knowing what I know now about the show. It should be enlightening.
Let me be the second to thank you! I've been anxious to rewatch - and since I didn't really join SWLS until the end of season three I've been so interested in what everyone thought of those early episodes, which in my thinking are some of the greatest ones the show has produced. Count me in!
Great idea. Let me be the first to thank you. It's a nice service to the fans and will be a great way to speculate the hell out of this series before we find out the answers.
