Sledgeweb's LOST ... STUFF

So... Remember that Goblet Dharma Film?

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:30:16 +0000

This final season is suppose to one that provides answers and begins wrapping up the many mysteries of the mythological universe of LOST. Indeed, we have been getting some answers, albeit some new questions as well - and, in that spirit of resolution, I think it is long past time to revisit an unsolved mystery from the blurry line of alternate reality media that emerged during Season Two as the mythology of LOST exploded on screen and off. In particular, I'd like to look back and address the issue of the Dharma Procedure Film for the Goblet Station, which surfaced in late March of 2006. More after the jump!

We go over the list of legible names on the cave ceiling, why Richard ran away like a little girl, and Taller Ghost Aaron/The Little Apparition Boy. Also, there's quite a bit of rambling. Shout-outs to certain SW members abound! Listen and find out if you caught our attention as much as The Substitute.

Damon Lindelof Quits LOST

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 05:03:51 +0000

Note: The following story was an April Fools joke. However, regardless of its lack of truth, it is very entertaining and funny. Enjoy.

In a bizarre series of events, not unlike many of the plot-lines in the veteran island mystery drama, LOST co-creator, executive producer, showrunner and writer, Damon Lindelof, has abruptly broken all ties with ABC and quit the show, just a few weeks before the hit series' fifth season finale. The unexpected departure has left ABC executives and LOST producers scrambling to quiet concerns over the series future. Lindelof has largely been regarded as the driving force behind LOST, and the main source and inspiration for the shows overall direction. His premature exit has many industry insiders questioning whether or not the sci-fi pop-phenom will even return for it's sixth and final season next year. More after the jump.

LOST Awakens

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:55:44 +0000

Our beloved and venerable island drama returns tonight with the fifth season opener, "Because You Left". Today also marks a return of sorts for myself. The last few months have been tasking... losing two grandparents, and dealing with other serious real-world family dramas and sickness has made spare time precious as of late. Fortunately, Astro, Jugdish, Cayley, Thlay and Versed have done an outstanding job here during my absence, and I'm extremely grateful to them once again. And, of course, I'm continually grateful to all of you who continue to visit the site and support the great community we have grown here. I apologize that the HUNT was forced into delay, but there simply wasn't a way to make it happen with all the unexpected distractions during the hiatus. The HUNT will continue in due time, though - but, for now, let me wish you all a belated Happy New Year, and more importantly - a Happy LOST New Season. Investigations will be going up tonight, and I promise more postings from me moving forward. Have a happy LOST day, and don't forget to join me in the live chat tonight for discussion and segment rating!

Preview and details on how to participate tonight after the jump!

Episode 2 Sneak Peek (spoilerish)

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:45:28 +0000

Damon and Carlton have sent one more sneak peek to the participants of the Dharma Initiative online game. This one is from Season 5 episode 2 titled "The Lie" From the title it appears that this episode will focus on the lie told by the Oceanic 6. The sneak peek takes place after the Oceanic 6 are rescued by Penny, but before they leave to be "discovered". The are discussing the reason for "The Lie" and Hurley states that he wants to tell the truth. After all, the island is gone! The lie is also a major part of an earlier sneak peek that shows Kate being ordered to give a paternity test for Aaron. The Oceanic 6 lie must be a major part of season 5.

Prepping for Season 5: The Many Faces Of...?

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 15:32:41 +0000

I was originally going to title this article, "The Many Faces Of Marvin Candle..uh, I mean Mark Wickmund, crap, I mean Edgar Halliwax, or is it Pierre Chang. Oh hell, you get the idea" but that seemed like an awefully long title for such a short article. I think you all get the idea. Actor Francois Chau (that's his real life name!) has had the unique fortune of being the only character in the entire show 4 names (to date).

Thanks to a new video released this past summer at Comic con, it seems that we've finally discovered that our favorite Dharma scientists real name is Pierre Chang. I saw what's being called The Barracks video for the first time yesterday, and found it astounding. I'd heard about it last summer, of course, but in my lazy, Lost hiatus mood chose not to watch it at the time. But it got me wondering who else hadn't seen it yet. And for that matter, who else out there has forgotten about the other fantastic videos we've seen from this Dharma Scientist. So follow the jump and refresh yourself on the many faces of....oh hell, you know who I mean.

We are now only 7 short days away from the season 5 premiere of Lost, and our little Lost-empty hearts are beating so fast many of us can barely keep up with our daily routines.

This list is coming from several sources across the web, including the producers of Lost as well as from Doc Jensen over at EW.com.

A Lost 5.01 and 5.02 Review

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 04:39:55 +0000

I'd love to be sitting here, telling you all my review of the first episodes of season 5 of Lost, but I am not among the lucky (or not so lucky) screeners who get to see the episode early in order to write about it. Lucky for us, we know someone who does have that privilege. If you follow the link below you can read DocArzt's review of episode 5.01 "Because You Left" & 5.02 "The Lie". Doc doesn't reveal any major plot points of the episode or spoilers, however if you are someone who avoids all spoilers no matter what, you might want to skip this article. Otherwise, give it a read. If you're like me, it'll just make you watch your clock even more over the next 22 days.

Newest Video From Carlton and Damon

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:43:07 +0000

Damon and Carlton have sent another video to the participants of the Dharma Initiative game. This one has Damon and Carlton answering some fan questions. During the video a Dharma Initiative statement is flashed on the screen a couple of times. I could not make out the wording. Hopefully one of our readers can find the message for us. At the end of the video another commercial for Ajira Airways was broadcast. The website does have some new links. It is pushing the tagline "destiny" just like season 5. There were a couple of interesting topics discussed. Damon and Carlton stated that we will find out this season why Christian was buried with white shoes and a dark suit. We will also see more of the 4 toed statue this year and it will be a bigger part of season 6. The reason Alex was killed was to create some sympathy for Ben. There had also been a lot of hostage holding on the show so they wanted to shock us by actually having one of the hostages killed. It did create a dramatic scene, one that will not be forgotten any time soon. Click on the video and enter the password emal. So let us know what you find on the video and on Ajira Airways website.

Fantastic Season 5 Promo Video

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:16:04 +0000

Okay folks, ABC is being really good to us this year, so we're obviously on their "nice" list. Yet another promo video has been released. Unlike the last one, this is not a sneak peak of a scene in the premiere episode, it is simply a teaser promo video with lots of really fast, really blurry, and really mysterious imagery. Check it out and let us know what you think. I got chills after watching it. Be warned, though, it does feature glimpses from Season 5 of Lost!

Video is just after the jump.

Season 5 Premiere Sneak Peak Video

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:11:15 +0000

The following video is a sneak peak clip released today featuring a short scene with Jack and Ben discussing Locke. This is a scene from the upcoming premiere episode of Lost and therefore should be considered a spoiler. I didn't feel that it revealed anything significant, and was more of a teaser, but view at your own discretion.
