Sledgeweb's LOST ... STUFF

ABC Officially Reveals Statue's Identity

Thu, 28 May 2009 14:51:07 +0000

Two weeks ago, during the season finale of Lost, we got the very first full glimpse of the four-toed statue, face and all, just like we were promised by the producers earlier in the season. However, we were also told that it would be clear just who that statue was depicting, and though some obviously saw clearly who it was, there was nothing to give us the official word on it, and some of you, me included, have remained a bit frustrated at the ambiguity of exactly which Egyptian deity the statue was built to represent.

5x16: What Lies in the Shadow of the Statue?

Thu, 14 May 2009 08:07:39 +0000

This question has been quite important since it was first asked over a month ago. Tonight we got to hear the answer, in Latin, from Richard. He said, "He who will save us all." ~~This same latin is the phrase that Jacob weaves on his tapestry as well~~. So will Jacob save them all? Follow the jump to see it again.

5x16: The Statue, finally settled?

Thu, 14 May 2009 07:14:21 +0000

Well, part of being a fan of Lost, and making the occasional predictions means you're sometimes wrong. I've been claiming for most of the season now, since we first caught the back of the statue, that it was the Egyptian god Anubis. Tonight, we finally got to see the front of the statue, and it is very clear now that it was not Anubis at all. It appears, as best as I can tell, that the statue is either Sobek or Taweret. For more great information on both, follow the jump.

5x16: Jacob and his Rival

Thu, 14 May 2009 06:22:26 +0000

The season 5 finale started out tonight following a young man who we eventually realized was Jacob. His rival, wearing a black shirt while Jacob wore white, showed up just as the Black Rock was arriving. The two had some words and the rival expressed his desire to kill Jacob, and that he would find a loophole, and Jacob made it very clear that he would be waiting right there, under the statue, whenever the rival was ready. Follow the jump to rewatch the opening scene.

5x15: Chang busts Hurley

Thu, 07 May 2009 04:28:33 +0000

In one of the best scenes of the night Dr. Chang busts in on Miles, Jin, and Hurley getting ready to flee dharmaville. Chang wants to know if they're really from the future, and Hurley awkwardly denies it. Chang knows just the question to ask too, first asking when Hurley was born, and finally asking him who was the president. You can see Hurley struggling for just a moment before he spills the beans. What's even more funny is that when they arrived at Dharmaville, Hurley asked Sawyer what he should do if they ask him questions, like who the president is. And Sawyer just responded wtih this isn't a gameshow. See! If Sawyer had just told him who the president was, Hurley could have pulled it off!

5x15: Ellie Pregnant?

Thu, 07 May 2009 04:21:29 +0000

Tonight Charles seemed to indicate that Ellie was pregnant at the camp. In the video after the jump you can barely hear the sound, but Charles puts his hand on Ellie's stomach and says "not in your condition." This isn't necessarily a huge reveal, since it seems obvious that she would be pregnant with Daniel at this point in time, but it is something that some people might have missed. Check it out after the jump.

5x15: Locke, beside himself

Thu, 07 May 2009 03:52:09 +0000

The Locke we saw tonight was certainly a different John Locke than we're used to seeing. Tonight he was assertive, confident, sure of himself, and most of all, he had a plan and a purpose...oh, and a pig. Locke took Richard and Ben to go find himself at the beechcraft, give himself the compass, and give himself the instructions that he knew he'd need in order to fulfill the remainder of his destiny. Kinda weird, huh? I know many of you are screaming paradox, but I hate that word, so I'll be referring to it as spontaneous happenstance from now on. To see the scene again, follow the jump!

5x15: Going to Kill Jacob...

Thu, 07 May 2009 03:45:04 +0000

"Follow the Leader" ended on quite a dramatic and shocking note tonight as Locke revealed to Ben that he wasn't going to see Jacob to reunite with his people. He was going to see Jacob to kill him. Why? Well, your guess is as good as ours, but at this point the stock answer seems to be "The island told me to do it." What was even more interesting was how troubled Richard seemed to be about taking Locke, and the others to Jacob. It almost made me wonder if Ben wasn't the one originally keeping Jacob locked up (remember when Locke first saw Jacob and he whispered, "save me" to him?). What if Richard has played a part in keeping Jacob locked up as well. And what's more, am I the only one who thought that the island and Jacob were one in the same, or linked together in some way? Follow the jump for this video investigation.

5x14: Wired Time Travel Magazine

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:41:37 +0000

When Charles Widmore comes to visit a broken down and memory deprived Daniel Faraday, just after the Oceanic wreckage was found, we get a quick glimpse of a magazine on the couch. That magazine is an August 2003 issue of WIRED. The cover says, "The Super Power Issues," as well as "The Impossible Gets Real." There is also a mention of Time Travel on the cover as well.

5x14: RIP Daniel Faraday (video)

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:41:24 +0000

Daniel Faraday was only with us for 2 short seasons of Lost, but his impact has been huge, and his place in the mythology of Lost is forever set. Tonight, Daniel proved to us that although you can't go back in time and kill your own mother, you can go back in time and GET killed by your own mother. View the video just after the jump.

5x14: User Requested Images

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 03:37:22 +0000

Tonight, the user requested images include Young Dan, Young Eloise, and Young Charlotte. You'll aslo see the Dharma Shooter helping Radzinsky, Dan's notebook, and a Metronome. Just follow the jump for larger views of the images and let us know if you see anything we didn't.

5x13: More Egyptian Tie-ins

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:50:59 +0000

Dear Damon and Carlton. Okay guys, we get it. Thanks so much for making it clear, but I think even the non-believers now see that there is obviously a tie-in with the island and the Egyptians. Thanks, we appreciate the clarity.

We've all seen now that Egyptian influences played a fairly larger role in the history of the island. With tonight's episode we also saw the first glimpse that Dharma may have caught on to those historical influences as well, and appear to be studying the history and culture of the Egyptians as well. And as we all know, Dharma will later incorporate Egyptian hieroglyphics into the Clock of Doom in the Swan Station, though for what reasons we don't know.

5x13: Bram pays a visit to Miles

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:37:31 +0000

One of the more interesting reveals in Some Like It Hoth was when Miles was Vannapped by good ole Bram, who we know from the Ajira plane crash. Bram seemed to make it quite clear that he was not working for Charles Widmore, nor should MIles work for 'the wrong side.' So if Bram isn't batting for Widmore's team, is he part of Ben's ensemble? Or are Bram and Ilana part of a whole new group, with a whole new set of objectives for the island. I'm starting to get confused and lose track of who's who here. Who's side do you think Bram is on?

5x13: The Swan Construction

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:24:05 +0000

Hurley and Miles were treated to a nice little surprise tonight when they got to see the Swan station being built. We also learned that the grid it was being built in is in the hostile's area and they are building it, somehow, in secret (or at least they seem to think that they are). Hurley was also a little freaked out as he watched the workers stamp his anti-lucky numbers into the hatch door as a serial number (why exactly the hatch door needs a serial number is beyond me).
