Blogging While Watching LOST: The Substitute

February 16, 2010

John Locke in suburbia with his van and his wheelchair ramp. Which is broken. Oops. That didn’t work out so well. And the sprinklers? That’s adding insult to injury. Parallels with Locke standing out in the rain in the jungle. Oh wow! It’s… um, what’s her name again? Helen! They’re getting married in October. And [...]

Getting Sex Advice from LOST Fans?

February 15, 2010

I was interviewed by a reporter from Nerve.com for a special feature they did on Sex Advice from Lost Fanatics. If you are related to me or under the age of 18, don’t click on that link. (I can’t believe they really needed to ask if Jack or Sawyer would make a better lover. Um, [...]

Blogging While Watching LOST: What Kate Does

February 9, 2010

Barefoot Lennon is stalking through the underground passages in the Temple. “He’s alive.” Miles looks a bit unhinged. Sawyer is bitter that Sayid lived and Juliet died. At LAX. Kate hijacked the cab, aimed the gun at Claire. Arzt lost his luggage in the crosswalk. Puppet Master cabbie ran out at the stop light. Kate [...]

Blogging While Watching LOST: LA X – Part 2

February 2, 2010

Juliet’s burial. It’s somewhat harder – her death – after there was a glimmer of hope that she might survive. At LAX. Jack got paged. There was a mixup with his father’s coffin. They never put it on the plane. The funeral is in two hours, and they don’t know when the coffin will arrive [...]

Blogging While Watching LOST: LA X – Part 1

February 2, 2010

White screen. Clouds. Jack on Oceanic Flight 815. Cindy, the flight attendant. Greg Grunberg as the pilot on the intercom. Bernard got back from the bathroom. Jack’s in the bathroom.

Blogging While Watching LOST: The Beginning of the End

February 2, 2010

I know it’s going to be a clip show. It’s going to start any minute now. But it’s a new clip show, and that’s enough for me. At least for another hour. I love when Michael Emerson narrates. I’d already forgotten about how cute it was when Charlie used to hit on Claire. Aww. I [...]

And here it is. Disc 5 is the Season 5 finale – The Incident. One of the most mind-blowing episodes yet. Rope sandals. Spinning. Weaving a tapestry by firelight. Catching fish in a reed trap. Cooking it on a rock. And there’s the Black Rock. Setting up the time for us. So are Jacob and [...]

LOST Season 5 Rewatch – Day 4

January 28, 2010

Here we go again! Adult Charles Widmore with the crazy hair riding the horse? It’s a good look for him. So many fateful meetings this season! Lightning should have crashed when young Ben met young Charles. “Welcome back to the land of the living.” A common enough greeting to someone who’s been unconscious or in [...]

LOST Season 5 Rewatch – Day 3

January 27, 2010

I missed a day yesterday, but I’m back in my LOST groove today! I simply love the reveal that Sawyer is LaFleur. But I still hate Sawyer’s LaFleur hair. Poor crazy, grieving, babbling Daniel. I can imagine the conversation. “You’re from the motor pool, man. How did you know how to do a C-section?” Tense meeting [...]

LOST Season 5 Rewatch – Day 2

January 25, 2010

On to disc 2! I think I can do this. I can get through the rest of the discs before next wee’s season premiere. I still can’t get used to Kate’s off-island eye makeup. Aaron is a pretty easy-going kid. Maybe he remembers Sun from the island, and that’s why he doesn’t freak out when [...]
