What's Hot: Season 6 Start Date Announced
LOST has been firing on all cylinders as of late, keeping a frantic pace leading up to the season finale. Tonight's two part issue brings with it the conclusion of LOST's fifth season. There is sure to be a lot of action, mystery, death and game changing in "The Incident". What remains to be seen, is whether or not our time traveling losties have the ability to alter the past. Or, has what happens, always happened? Prepare to have your minds blown with the exciting season finale, "The Incident". Details after the jump.
Tonight's episodes of Lost was like an episode on crack, and I mean that in a good way. We're now being led into a finale where Locke is apparantly off on a mission to kill Jacob, and Jack is trying to detonate a hydrogen bomb in order to save his people. If you'd like to get another look at the preview for next week, follow the jump and take a look.
LOST producers had to triple their guyliner budget for tonight's Richard centric episode, "Follow the Leader". But, will that manscara investment be a worthy payoff for fans? Richard has long been one of LOST's greatest enigmas: he is seemingly ageless, has kept the same look for the last 60 years (except that one day in the 70's where he hippied out), wears eyeliner, and leads the Others without really leading them. Is he an alien, an ancient Egyptian god or pharoah, Ponce de Leon, an island native? Tonight's episode looks like it may give us some hints, and at the very least, provide more mythology for fans to ponder heading into the two part season finale. It all goes down tonight on ABC! Follow the jump for more details and a preview of "Follow the Leader".
After tonight's episode, I think the word running through most people's thoughts was "wow". Next week's offering has a lot to live up to, and with a Richard centric episode, it just might deliver. Follow the jump to get a second look at the trailer for LOST Season 5 Episode 15, "Follow the Leader". Is Richard the leader, or the one following the leader(s)?
Daniel Faraday has been noticeably absent from the time traveling Dharma work men for quite some time, but he finally made an appearance in "Some Like it Hoth". So, what exactly has Dan been up to off-island, in Ann Arbor? Hanging out with the DeGroots? Trying to figure out a way to get his fellow future folk back to their proper time? Or perhaps studying up on those pesky rules of time travel, and figuring out a way to change things without collapsing the universe - or at least to find out what can be changed? We know Desmond is the Constant, so does that make Faraday "The Variable"? Strap in for more time travel fun with tonight's episode! More info after the jump.
Every so often, LOST hits us with a mind-blowing episode that reminds us why we love this show so much. Expectations are running high that tonight's offering, "Dead is Dead", will be that kind of episode. After all, last week teased us with a trip back to the future where a resurrected Locke finally had the chance to confront his killer, Ben Linus. Tonight, it looks like we'll see more of this confrontation as well as some of Ben's off-island goings on. Will we learn more about Ben and his relationship with the island and it's mysterious powers? What is Locke's destiny, now that he has conquered death and returned to the island? Will we finally see Richard Alpert traversing the island atop smokey, "yee-hawing" all the while, to judge Ben's transgressions (and then have Smokey eat him)? Tune in tonight for the Ben-Locke showdown! More details after the jump!
Whatever Happened, Happened gave us some interesting scenes, if not a compelling overall episode. Still, we got to see the return of Locke, Ben being sent off to be Otherized, and a couple of great conversations between Hurley and Miles. In this week's Talking LOST, Astro and I discuss the inevitability of stale snacks, free will versus pre-destination, the relationship between Widmore and Eloise, and our future careers as inept vigilante super heroes. Somehow, it all related to last night's LOST (I think). Follow the link to read our conversation.
Want a second look at the trailer at the end of tonight's episode for next week's Dead is Dead? We've got it here for you. Locke is back! Ben survives! I guess they will have something to talk about next week. Follow the continue reading link to view the preview in glorious YouTube.
Last week we were all stunned (or perhaps not so stunned) to see Sayid shoot young Ben Linus, thinking that it is his purpose in life to put an end to the horrors that Ben will commit as he grows up. Of course, Sayid didn't stop to think that perhaps this is what always happened, and the reason Ben grew up to be such a jerk was because some crazy Iraqi shot him in the jungle when he was a child. Tonight, in episode 5.11, "Whatever Happened, Happened" we get to see just what young Ben's fate is, and if Daniel was right and whatever happened, happened. Feel free to let us know in the comments what you're hoping for in tonight's episode. Personally, I'm hoping for some Richard Alpert and some Locke (how long has it been since we saw him?). So let us know what you think. Or, discuss tonight's episode in the Hype Thread! For more details and a preview, just turn the page.
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.
It's Thursday! That means it's time to talk LOST with your friends, family and coworkers - pondering the mysteries and implications of the latest episode together in efforts to keep sanity loosely grasped. Astro and I tackled the latest episode, "He's Our You" in an online chat last night. In this edition of Talking LOST, we discuss once again the Alternate Timeline Theory versus the It's Always Happened This Way Theory, Hippie Alpert, Sawyer's handling of the situation, and the preview for next week's episode. DocArzt also drops in and sets us on a new investigation, which you will only see here in a behind the scenes sort of way. Follow the link below for all the fun!
Who is He? Who is Our? And, who is You? Such a simple title, yet so intriguing. Tonight's "He's Our You", the tenth episode of Season 5, will hopefully answer at least those questions. Go ahead and get your bets in now in the comments below. Let us know what you think. Or, discuss tonight's episode in the Hype Thread! For more details and a preview, just turn the page.
"Namaste", the ninth episode of LOST's Season 5, followed the well regarded "LaFleur" and a week long hiatus. Although the episode started off with ratings shakier than Lawnmower Man's touchdown of 316 onto Craphole International, viewers gave the last segments of the episode strong scores. Turn the page for more details and a chart!
Did you wonder what happened to the plane after the odd assortment of O6ers flashed away? In "Namaste" we learn that plus a lot of other stuff. For one thing, we now know that Frank is the best damn pilot southwest of the Hudson. Also, we find out who the baby is, that Sun is really handy with a paddle, and that Dharma jumpsuits come in a wide variety of sizes.
One of the best parts about the experience of LOST, is talking about a new episode after it airs with other fans, coworkers, family members, friends, and random people you know via the web that follow the show. In this segment, we've decided to give you an inside look into the chats Astro and I engage in after each episode. It's not focused, and definitely unscripted - but we hope it is at least entertaining, sometimes insightful, and perhaps provides an interesting glimpse behind the curtain here at SWLS. Click the "continue" link below to delve into the madness.
LOST returns from a one week hiatus tonight, with "Namaste"! Two weeks ago, "LaFleur" filled in some of the three year gap in the lives of our Losties between the exit and return of the Oceanic 6. Led by Sawyer, our friends are now heavily entrenched in Dharma - oh, and also stuck in the 1970's. Tonight's title seems to promise more Dharma goodness. Preview and details after the jump.
Searching through the Hydra, Caesar comes across some old magazines. An Issue of LIFE dated April 19, 1954 catches his eye. The cover features an image of a Hydrogen Bomb exploding during a test. I suppose when a Hydrogen Bomb shows up on your island, it's good to do some research on the subject. Especially when some crazy guy from "the future" just tells you to bury it and everything will be fine. That issue also featured an article called "Julia in Jeopardy". Julia is Julia Adams (I believe), an actress in The Creature from the Black Lagoon - which the article reviewed, and of which we also see a pic of. The Black Lagoon being a "paradise that no one has ever returned from" could be seen as another thematic LOST reference. Also, as pointed out in the comments, the very same Julia Adams has appeared as an actress on LOST. Follow the jump for more!
Caesar locates some files in The Hydra station that includes Dan Faraday's map and one of his journal pages concerning time travel. Also included is Rousseau's map. We've seen that Dan will eventually go to the Orchid station during Dharma's final days. Now, we also know he makes a trip to the Hydra (or someone takes his papers there, anyways). Those papers are still there 30 years later when Ajira 316 crashes on the island (if we assume the crash occurs in 2007). Now, let this blow your mind. Before Rousseau even begins drawing her map, before she even conceives of it, there is already a finished version of that map laying in the Hydra Station. Therefore, once she does draw her map, there are then two identical copies of it on the island. The same applies to Dan's map and his journal page. Take a look using the link below.
So, Locke's pseudonym was bestowed upon him by none other than Charles Widmore. Locke is given a new name, and a new passport to trek the globe with. According to the passport, Bentham is a Canadian, born in New York in 1948. Take a look after the jump.
This set of miscellaneous and user requested images from "316" include: A bloody Ben, Jack's eye, Dharma Jin, dead Locke, Locke's suicide note, Caesar, and Doubting Thomas. Follow the link below to view the images and let us know what you think in the comments.
