Blogging While Watching LOST: The Economist

February 14, 2008

“N. I’ll always be with you. R. G.” That’s the inscription on the inside of Naomi’s bracelet. Is Sayid getting off the island now? That seems too easy. Sayid plays golf, and is good enough to be a betting man about it. And apparently it’s not too easy. Sayid really does get off the island. [...]

Blogging While Watching LOST: The Beginning of the End

January 31, 2008

Oceanic 6? Only 6 people get off the island? Flash forward! I had a feeling it was a flash forward, but you never quite know with a LOST season premier. It still doesn’t beat last year’s season opener, but it was pretty good. Mangoes! Ana-Lucia’s partner – I guess I’m going to have to update [...]

Through the Looking Glass Rewatch: Jack isn’t supposed to leave the island

January 17, 2008

I finished watching the Season 3 DVD set today. (Aww, Charlie!) I had a realization about Jack. Jack tells Kate, in the flash forward, that they weren’t supposed to get off the island, that they have to go back. Kate disagreed, and she drove away. Jack was wrong. Kate was supposed to get off the [...]

Why is Jack so desperate to get back to the island in the flash-forward?

January 2, 2008

I’ve been thinking about it since the third season ended, and now that we’re less than a month away from the start of season four, I still don’t have any real notion. Jack is completely obsessed with getting back to the island in the flash forward. Considering how badly he’s wanted to get off the [...]

So who was in the coffin?

December 26, 2007

It drove me crazy that we never got to know who was in that coffin. We never got a really clear shot of the obituary that Jack ripped out of the newspaper. Well, that’s not entirely true. Some clever folks with TiVo and hi-def grabbed some screencaps to try and make sense of it all. [...]

Was Jack’s flash forward like Desmond’s flashes, a possible future? Or the “real” future?

May 27, 2007

Damon and Carlton have been messing with viewers for quite a while about the issue of time. And this apparent “flash forward” only complicates matters even worse. If all of those scenes with ugly-bearded Jack are supposed to take place after he gets off the island, we’re left with a few important questions. For one [...]

Blogging while watching LOST: Through the Looking Glass (Part 2)

May 23, 2007

One hour down, and seven Redshirt Others are dead. I don’t think they count in the “five people die” TV Guide spoiler. So five more people are going to bite the dust. Better not include Sawyer. There are five people down in the Looking Glass station right now… But I don’t know if they’d really [...]

Blogging while watching LOST: Through the Looking Glass (Part 1)

May 23, 2007

I’ll be breaking this entry into two parts, one for the first hour, one for the second. Jack looks terrible in a beard. I want to know what was in that newspaper clipping that he read before climbing up onto the ledge to jump off the bridge. Do we know any of the people involved [...]
