It's Never Really Over, Is it?

2010-08-06T07:58:00.000-07:00

Just a normal Friday, right? Strolling through my blog roll, taking my time, reading some stories.

And then I saw this headline:
OMFG It's The Official LOST Epilogue

My heart stopped for a moment. I think my mouth went dry.

I had kind of forgotten about LOST, I'll admit. All that "what's going to happen?" and the Constants and the SIX YEARS of wanting answers had gotten to me. The end was too sentimental and emotional for a bunch of reasons that had nothing to do with a show. I think I needed the break. I'm not sure I'm ready to go back. But I really want to watch this clip. I haven't yet... I want to be comfortable.

I feel like it's bound to be disappointing now.

A Wee Bit More.

2010-05-27T15:56:00.000-07:00

So, according to CNN, the finale will have an extra 14 minutes or so of footage on the DVD set. I've heard it will only be on the full series box set, but that may not be true. According to Michael Emerson (Ben), this extra scene will take place on island after Jack's death and focus on Hurley's time spent as Jacob. It's kind of lame that it will only be on the DVD, but that is kind of what I was most curious about after the finale was over. Besides, I was going to buy the full series set anyway.

Read about it here.

The End

2010-05-23T19:45:00.000-07:00

So, what did you think?

Bon Voyage

2010-05-20T17:30:00.000-07:00

It's kind of weird to think about it ending, right? As much as we've reached a point in the story where I'm feeling a little "Dear God, Please just wrap it up", I'm pretty bummed to see LOST go. Beyond the actual show, I'm going to miss watching with friends every week, talking theories and making friends because of LOST. Many a times I have talked LOST with a person I've just met to ease the awkwardness. Many nights, I've huddled around the TV with friends - even back in New York I can remember sitting in a friend's apartment with some girl I didn't really know, while she screamed "I WANT ANSWERS". That was only season 3. And let's not forget all of those Maxwell family dinners/lunches/brunches that were ONLY LOST focused.

So, goodbye LOST. It's been real. At least I can focus on BSG now.

Come say goodbye.
BBQ
Sunday, May 23rd.
1pm -- ??? (until LOST programming starts?? 6ish?)

My Backyard -- if you don't know where I live, let me know and I can give you the address. Please come through the alley.

Please bring something to share (or grill) and a chair (if you prefer sitting).

Also, there are some fabulous trophies: don't forget to wear a costume!!!

Lastly, an acoustic performance by the Constants. You may have heard of them.

Predictions

2010-05-20T13:47:00.000-07:00

Alright everybody, the time is upon us. Let's hear your predictions for the finale. They can be totally obvious, or completely out of left field. Now's the time to throw in your lot so that on Monday morning you can say "Called it!" Post yours in the comments or just tell me why mine are wrong.

Here's mine:

1. Jack won't be the new Jacob (or not for long). It all seems to cut and dry for me. And he was too willing. Jacob didn't want to be the Island's protector, nor was he the Mother's first choice. My guess? Judging by Hurley's "I'm glad it's not me" comment, it will be him.

2. Sayid will be back, and in a big way. If he was a candidate, he probably couldn't die. Although it seems impossible for him to live through that, I'm convinced he's coming back. Perhaps with Lapidus on his coat tails.

3. Desmond will enter the Source, and come out in the flash-sideways. He must convince everyone to go back to the Island in order to insure the timeline where he reunites with Penny takes place. HE FAILS, and everyone lives happily ever after in the flash-sideways but him.

4. The series ends with the new Jacob and MIB sitting on the beach. A new group of survivors are washed ashore. Among them: Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, Special Agent Dale Cooper, and someone played by Lance Henriksen.

I'm probably wrong. I have a pretty good feeling about that last one though.

What They Died For

2010-05-18T22:09:00.000-07:00

I didn't imagine that Smiths reference right? I'm sure it was on purpose, right? Man, it's nice to have good ol' weasley Ben back, right? And Man In Locke wants to destroy the Island? Awesome. And Jack is Jacob, right? Unless maybe something happens before that fire goes out. It just seems to cut and dry at this point. There has to be a twist, right? Maybe not. I liked Ana Lucia showing up as a crooked cop. Also, it was nice to see Rousseau lookin' fine.

Thanks Jorge!

2010-05-14T12:36:00.000-07:00

Across the Sea

2010-05-11T20:28:00.000-07:00

Well, we have SOME answers.

We know how the black smoke monster was created.

We know (as much as we're going to) where Jacob and the Man in Black's issues came from.

We know who Adam and Eve are.

What is in the wine? What does it do to Jacob?

Is the Man in Black we later see just a ghost inhabiting his body? Who is Fake Locke? Is he really just two dead people?

Is electromagnetism the fountain of youth? Is this the same well as in the temple? Has it been getting darker over time as more people go into it? What does this mean for Sayid (if he was alive) or Ben (assuming the Others put him in the fountain)?

It's interesting how Mother Dearest talks about how people are corrupt and fight and destroy, when essentially, that's what Jacob, her and the Man in Black do to each other.

This Is Amazing

2010-05-10T12:22:00.000-07:00

Remember when I used to post the "When Were They Then" videos? This article is way better. Check out Terry O'Quinn up there! Follow the link for more. I think Lapidus is actually my favorite.

LOST finale to be extended by 30 minutes!

2010-05-05T16:21:00.000-07:00

Hello, all. I'm sure you're all reeling after losing THREE people whom we've loved for the past six years (and maybe Frank), but I have good news! Apparently, Darlton didn't feel as though a two hour finale would be long enough, so it will now run from 9 p.m. until 11:30! The 23rd is looking better and better!

Read about it here.

The Candidate

2010-05-04T22:04:00.001-07:00

Holy crap. Most suspenseful episode ever. Poor Sun and Jin. Do you think Jin's dead for good this time, Biz and Al? It wasn't that sad when they (probably) died, but totally sad when Hugo started crying. Good to see Dr. Nadler, and it's kind of nice to see Anthony Cooper, especially in a vegetative state, even though he might not have deserved it in that reality. And Smokey Locke sure is a rat, huh? Alright, I gotta go recouperate from all that intensity.

LAST CHANCE

2010-04-23T00:56:00.001-07:00

I think everything on this flier is set in stone. The only questionable thing is the time.... but 9 is a safe bet.

The Last Recruit

2010-04-21T00:19:00.001-07:00

What a jam-packed episode. Ok, full disclosure: I was a little drunk watching this, so I can't really remember the details.

I like that the Survivors did their own thang, that Sawyer and Jack worked together and everyone always goes to the same hospital. Oh and Claire's big brother issues. Don't I know where she's coming from! Big brothers - they are the worst!

So, does Widmore not give a shit about them, but knows that he can't kill them? Does Locke really think Jack is with him (I don't think he is - if Jack knows that he shouldn't let him leave the island)? Will Locke see the alternate reality from his surgery? What does Desmond know? Is Sayid turning back to good? I don't think there's anyway he actually killed Desmond (as Biz pointed out, they'd never do that off-screen). Oh and Smoke Monster was Christian Shepard. What a jerk.

Oh and then there was this:

Yay!

LOST Goodbye BBQ

COSTUME CONTEST * the Constants * BBQ * All things LOST

please note, this BBQ is to share in the love of LOST and to celebrate the end - it is not to watch the finale.

Details to follow.

Everybody Loves Hugo

2010-04-13T22:12:00.000-07:00

Good ol' Hurley. Even if his flash sideways was a bit "filler-y", it was still pretty great. 'Cause seriously...every one loves Hugo. Right? Plus the on-Island timeline was pretty awesome. The return of the whispers, who turn out to be those who can't move on, like Michael. So perhaps the Island is kind of hell or purgatory, but not only those things. I don't know. And how awesome was is when Ilana exploded, Arzt style? I totally saw it coming, but was still somehow surprised when it actually did. Awesome stuff. That paired with Desmond running down wheel-chair bound Locke made for some of the best "oh shit" moments of the season.

Happily Ever After

2010-04-06T20:45:00.001-07:00

Things (people) that annoy me: Zoe and Charlie. Charlie was really getting on my nerves.

But, I still love Desmond. He brings everything together!

Questions:
Does Eloise know everything?
Is the alternate reality what everyone wanted for their life? i.e. Desmond only wanted the approval of Charles Widmore, and that's what he got in his alternate reality.
Was Daniel Faraday Widmore wearing a wig?
Can you only access your original life through love or a near-death experience?
Does that mean that Kate is not Jack or Sawyer's love?
Why hasn't the other survivors had flashbacks of the island when running into each other?
How is Desmond going to show them? Plane crash? Meet in Eloise's basement?
Why did Desmond so easily go with Sayid? What does he know now?

I do like how they blended the island timeline with the alternate reality. It was so similar to how Desmond time traveled back in Season 3 that it felt more natural. Like what was happening on the Island was causing him to travel to the alternate reality.

Also, it was nice to get a break from all this Jacob-Black Smoke Monster crap.

The Package

2010-03-30T22:08:00.000-07:00

Man, Jin didn't even TRY to hide in the bathroom. He just made sure he was lookin' good when that door opened! I was so disappointed his didn't greet that guy with a karate chop to the neck. He's still taking orders from Mr. Paik, and he blew it by not declaring that wad of cash in customs. Now Keamy's pissed, but that works out for us, because then we get to see the Mad Russian himself, Mikail. With two eyes!!! (but not for long.)

How about the return to Room 23? Pretty rad.

The Man in Black (Man in Locke, Flocke, Demon Locke, Esau) told Sun that he needed Kate because he was 3 people short of geting of the island and she can help get those people. Who do you think she's talking about? My money's on Sawyer, but who else???

Does anyone else remember one of Widmore's cronies as Chip from Kate & Allie? Am I the only one who remembers Kate & Allie?

And then there's the not so shocking, but still totally rad return of Desmond. I bet getting drugged then pulled of a submarine, and hanging off the dock and looking into the beautiful brown eyes of a Mer-Man Sayid would be pretty trippy.

By the way, you ladies can thank me for taking that screenshot of Jin. Special thanks to Brandi and Gabba for letting me interrupt America's Funniest Home Videos long enough to do so.

Ab Aeterno

2010-03-23T20:56:00.000-07:00

A few questions:

Why could Ben summon the smoke monster?
Was Jacob dunking Richard in the ocean a baptism?
Why did the smoke monster kill everyone but Richard -- because he was the easiest to manipulate?
How does Jacob choose who he brings to the Island?
When exactly did Richard start cutting his hair?

It seems like Jacob and the Man In Black (who I'm referring to as Esau) are just playing some game. Well, Esau wants to get off the island - he's evil incarnate and Jacob has to keep him there. Can he die? How did he get ON the island?

Meanwhile, for kicks, Jacob brings people to the island to watch how they choose the right thing with their free will. Basically, he's just getting some shits and giggles from watching things play out. Why doesn't he want to talk to people he brings to the island? Guilt? He seems kind of like a jerk. I do find it interesting that Jacob and the Man in Black must be killed the same way (knife through the heart before he speaks). Did that not apply when Ben killed Jacob?

Why are there only a set number of candidates? The "last of the candidates" are the 815 survivors. Why are they the last?

Did anyone catch that the captain of the Black Rock was Magnus Hanso? Did we know that already?

How did that ship wreck that statue? That must have been a strong ship, right? I mean, seriously.

What else? Isn't Richard Alpert dreamy?

Post your thoughts and theories in the comments. If you post it, then you can say you called it!

Recon

2010-03-16T20:37:00.001-07:00

He was a southern orphan hell-bent on revenge. He was a smart-ass up and comer with a secret life as a ghostbuster. Together, they're Sawyer and Straum: LAPD. So that was pretty cool, right? There's got to be something else interesting to talk about from last night's episode. Oh yeah! The preview for the Alpert episode next week! Looks good! Don't let me down, LOST!

Dr. Linus

2010-03-09T20:48:00.001-08:00

Poor, sad, lonely Ben. But he didn't die.... no, no, no. And he didn't become principal either.

I'm happy there was a Ben-centric episode and I really think that his sideways story was just meant to remind you that you kinda liked him OK. And that he's not so much of a terrible person for letting Alex die, cuz, see, he just got her into Yale! He did the right thing this time! Only, it's college, not life and isn't it creepy when some History teacher takes a special liking to a female student? I guess it's creepy when some guy steals a baby and raises it on its own too, so whatever.

Speaking of death - the candidates can't kill themselves. Wouldn't the Candidates be a good rival band for the Constants? Just sayin'. So, Richard hasn't been able to die and that's why he hasn't aged? Will the other Candidates (the 815 survivors) not age too? I don't get some of this, but frankly, I haven't put much effort into trying to figure it out.

That leads me to the poll. That's right, we've got a poll. The show is wrapping up - every preview is supposed to pump you up for the big giant finale. But is anyone just over it?

Oh, and a moment for Jack. Finally, Jack seemed to do something right. It was so nice to go back to classic Lost. We're on the beach, there's scary things out there, we're camping out and moving in slow motion to classic LOST music.

Oh, and Widmore is on a submarine. What do you all think about that?! When does Desmond come back!

Speak to us, people. Let us know if you're over it. And if you're not, comment away.

Watch This Now.

2010-03-06T17:07:00.000-08:00

You're Welcome.

"I feel like I just got laid for the first time since 'The Constant'." - Matt Maxwell, after viewing this episode.

Hi! So, for Madewell's and my birthday, the LOST producers decided to give us the best episode in years. There were few answers, but I don't think there has ever been such a high concentration of Sayid kicking ass.

Let's start with the Sideways timeline:

-Apparently in 2004, instead of being missing, Nadia is married to Sayid's brother. What's up with that?

-Keamy is a loan shark. Well, he was. That is until Sayid hella owned!

-What did Jin ever do to Keamy?

Now for the real fire. Here's what happened on island:

-Sayid fights a Kung Fu master.

-Flocke is invincible!

-Claire doesn't seem to want to kill Kate anymore.

-Ben Linus is more confused than ever.

-"Catch a Falling Star" has never sounded more awesome.

-Why is it that after Dogen died, the ash was no longer effective?

So, okay. Did anyone not like this episode? It was full of kickass. Anyone who picked Sayid for their Fantasy team must have gotten so many points. Not only did Sayid kill five people, but it was his episode, and he got wet! Well, anyway, what'd you think?

Lighthouse

2010-02-23T22:11:00.000-08:00

So, Jack is a dad. It's kind of mind blowing that the bomb blast didn't only change from the point the plane should have crashed onward, but it seems to have SERIOUSLY altered their lives up until that point as well. I know that was already revealed, but what could've made things so different that Jack has a kid? I guess that whole Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park butterfly flaps it's wings thing applies here, huh? Claire's pretty crazy. And still Jack's sister in the flash side-ways, though he still doesn't know it. And that lighthouse...a little too fairy tale-ish for me, but we'll see where it leads. I guess we finally know the numbers are coordinates, unless their meaning goes even deeper. Remember way back in season one when Hurley says he first heard the numbers from a guy in the mental institution that kept repeating them, and HE heard them over a radio when he was in the Pacific? Do you think the voice was Jacob then?

The Substitute

2010-02-16T17:50:00.001-08:00

First and foremost, I've decided to keep this photo up until I get sick of my MSCL joke. Which may be never.

This was oh-so-much-better than last week's episode. Let's get straight to the point:
Everyone's got a number! Except Kate. WHY DOESN'T KATE HAVE A NUMBER? To recount:
4-Locke, 8-Reyes, 15-Ford, 16-Jarrah, 23-Shephard, 42-Kwon
Locke is dead and gets crossed out -- will they go in order? Is Hurley next?
Why are they candidates? Does the island need protecting?

We also have a kid running through the forest that Sawyer and Fake Locke can see, but Richard can't. Why can't Richard see him? Is the kid young Jacob?

Is Sawyer going to take up with Smokey? Is this really bad? Do good and evil even exist anymore?

Remember when people had constants and Faraday's constant was Desmond? Sigh.

I did like the parts with Ben, though I think he's more of a math or English teacher. Not History. And I enjoyed his eulogy. More Ben!

I totally didn't get the Jacob's Ladder reference until now.

Also, Allegory of the Cave. I remember high school English after all!

Happy Valentines Day

2010-02-11T21:31:00.000-08:00

From my friend Adrian:

Q: Why did the black smoke monster cross the road? A: To get to the other ... Sayid!

What Kate Does

2010-02-09T22:03:00.000-08:00

Man, last night's episode was...a Kate episode. Mostly filler. What do you think was in that pill? My guess: some Jacob Ashes. Do you think the "infection" is the same one that plagued Rousseau's crew? And who else is tired of Jack being such a dick about everything? How about Claire showing up and killing some fools? Is she really "infected"?

Geronimo Jack's Beard

2010-02-04T10:37:00.000-08:00

Jorge Garcia has started a podcast! It's pretty lo-fi, but awesome for a few reasons:

1. It's him and his girlfriend giving their initial reaction after reading the script. This one was recorded months ago and it really reflects how little anyone knows what's going on.
2. Beth is the classic girlfriend who seems to be frustrated when things don't make sense and there's no hard answers.
3. He spends much of the time pondering the spelling mistakes in the script.
4. It's called Geronimo Jack's Beard!

LA X: Parts 1&2

2010-02-03T12:55:00.000-08:00

Alright, kids, here we have the season opener. The two parts to this episode focused on two timelines: the original timeline, on the island following the detonation of the hydrogen bomb and an alternate timeline, where everyone is still on the plane and land successfully in LAX. (note: did you notice that the title of this ep is not "LAX" but rather "LA X" with a space?) Let's talk about the alternate timeline first:

A few things happen: Jack , with the help of Sayid, saves Charlie's life; Locke befriends Boone; Kate has an elevator ride with Sawyer, escapes her Marshal and jumps in a cab with Claire; Shannon isn't on the plane; Jin gets taken away at customs, while Sun pretends to not know English; Hurley is the luckiest guy ever, yet Sawyer tells him not to tell people he's won the lotto; Desmond sits next to Jack, but then disappears after one of Jack's 12 billion trips to the bathroom (also: Jack recognizes him -- is it from meeting him when they were both running up and down the stairs of the stadium?); Christian Sheppard's coffin goes missing; Charlie is arrested for posession. Most importantly, the whole island, including the statue and Dharma barracks are under water. Thank you weird underwater scene.

Here are the questions:
-what's up with the sore on Jack's neck?
-where did Desmond go?
-where is the coffin?
-where is the box of knives?
-what does Jack mean when tells Locke "nothing is irreversible"? How does this play into both of their characters philosophies? can Jack "fix" Locke?
-are Walt and Michael on the flight?
-why was Desmond on the flight when he wasn't originally on it?

Let's go to the original timeline. Juliet does set off the bomb and the gang is transported to some other time. In this time the Swan had been blown up. Yet! Juliet is still dying underneath it. So, they manage to pull her out and Sawyer has some dying words with her (she says they can get coffee and go dutch). Juliet dies. Meanwhile, Sayid is dying and Jacob visits Hurley. He tells Hurley that they have to go to the temple and that he has died. So, as Sawyer and Miles bury Juliet (so that Sawyer can have Miles talk to Juliet - she meant to say "it worked"), Jack, Kate, Hurley and Jin take Sayid to the temple. The end up with the others, who seem to drown Sayid in a temple bath, yet he still dies, in a very Christ-like fashion. When they learn that Jacob is dead, they start to protect the temple, spreading ash around. Miles and Sawyer end up there too. Sayid wakes up.

On the other side of the island, smoke moster-turned Locke-turned smoke monster is killing "Jacob's bodyguards". Ben realizes that Locke is dead. No one knows what's going on. Fake Locke grabs Richard and knocks him out, dragging him away and telling the Others that he's disappointed in them. He wants to go home.

Questions:
-Where is the smoke monsters home?
-Is the temple bath the fountain of youth?
-Was Sayid reborn?
-Did Jacob know that all of this was going to happen? How did he know to tell Hurley to bring the guitar case to the Island in the first place?
-Why was it essential to Jacob that Sayid lives?
-Where is the Locke, the Smoke Monster taking Richard? To the Temple?

You all have your theories, some of which are in the last post. Let's hear 'em.

Fantasy Lost: LAX

2010-02-02T23:28:00.000-08:00

There have been some questions about the Fantasy Lost game. You'll see a poll to vote on how to count John Locke. In the comments, there are some thoughts on what is a minor character and what's not.

Here's some other things to consider:
It is up to you to calculate your points. You can post your total points in the comments of this post, and we'll track the season for you. But you have to watch for your characters, because it's impossible for us to track what 60 characters do. I'm personally only keeping track of Kate, Hurley, Libby and Anthony Cooper. If you submitted your teams in the post below or to Cody, you'll be included on the spreadsheet, coming soon (hey, this girl's gotta a real job to contend with first).

That being said, when you calculate your points, just know that when things come up, others might question you -- it's up to you to present your theories and craft your arguments and make your case. Isn't the fun in the discussion?

--Madeline

Also, I want to say a big thanks to Cody, OPM contributor of the week, for hosting last night, as well as creating the Fantasy Lost game. Thanks Codering! Also, thanks for posting this place holder!!!

UPDATE OPM's Lost Fantasy League!

2010-02-01T23:16:00.000-08:00

Alright, I'm not sure how this is going to work out, but hopefully it'll be fun. Here's the gist of how it will work. You start with 100 points to spend. You have to create a team of FOUR characters. Each character can be put on as many teams as want them. Each character is assigned a point value. For example Sayid is worth 50 points, and Arturo is worth 5. You don't have to spend all 100 points, but you can't spend more than 100 points, and your team has to have FOUR members. Once your team is picked, keep track of them (a handy worksheet will be provided) throughout season 6. The worksheet will contain a list of actions, with a point value assigned to each. I don't want to give away what the actions will be just yet, but think LOST drinking game but bigger. I believe I've thought of 32 actions, with points varying from 5 to 100. So, at the end of the season, whoever has the most points wins. What do they win? I'm not sure yet, but I'm going to try and make it something worth playing for.

Here's a janky chart so you can get an idea of who you're going to draft. The number in parenthesis next to each character is their point value. And before you complain that Arturo is only worth 5 while Sayid is worth 50, keep in mind that my errors in judgement could lead to your win.

The official draft will be at the OPM Premiere at 7:30. If you can't make it, e-mail me your team or leave it in the comments, and you can be included. No entries past 9pm on Tuesday, February 2nd.

If you have any ideas for point earning actions, or if I left any characters out, please leave them in the comments.

********UPDATE***************
Here's the list of actions, followed by their point values. I have a very simple spreadsheet to keep track of your characters while watching. I can e-mail it to you if you want to e-mail me at codyjscott at g mail dot com. Also I think Madewell is going to make a spreadsheet that will keep track of your overall points. If you have any questions or speculations about these put em in the comments. After watching the premiers last night it's obvious that some of these are going to be a little questionable.

Invite / Fantasy LOST

2010-02-01T12:08:00.000-08:00

Okay, this will be quick. You're all invited to come watch the season 6 premiere at my place (if you don't know where it is, ask me or someone else). I'm in the process of setting up a fantasy football type game where you make a team of cast members and get points for things they do. This will all be explained at the premiere before the start of the episode (it's a little too complicated for the kind of time I have right now). Show up at 7:30 if you're interested in playing (it really is going to be lots of fun and make season 6 a lot more interesting), 8pm for the recap, and 8:55 for the actual episode. My door will be locked by 9pm, so don't be late, cause I'm not letting anyone in except on commercial breaks. And, as usual, a strict no-talking rule will be enforced. And, though I would think this would go without saying, if you've never seen LOST before, don't come expecting a party. I don't mean to be exclusionary, but it's just better that way. Also, The Constants MIGHT play an acoustic set. We'll see if they're up to it. Can't wait!

Lost Recap

2010-01-25T11:54:00.000-08:00

O-M-G, we're 8 days away from Season 6! Everyone was all a twitter (get it - cuz this was all over twitter) about this Italian family that has recreated the last 5 seasons of LOST on video. WHY DIDN'T MY FAMILY DO THIS? Instead we get into public arguments in the middle of Target about whether or not the Nicki and Pablo episode was the best or worst episode of LOST ever.

Special thanks to Nortgemdar for the video tip.

Final Season of Lost Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever

2010-01-18T21:08:00.000-08:00

Final Season Of 'Lost' Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever

Make your own kind of music

2010-01-13T01:45:00.000-08:00

As many of you may know, I am a pretty big fan of the music of Lost. With that said, I figured it would be a good idea to pay homage to the man behind it all, Michael Giacchino:
This guy's awesome. His themes, as simple as they may be, will be ingrained in our memories for years to come, I'm sure. One would normally say that his music fits the scenes perfectly, but I would disagree with that and say that he regularly sets the scene with his music. Take this video from "Through The Looking Glass" as an example. Set it at the 55 second mark and watch it with the sound off. You won't be missing any dialogue as it is only the music playing:

Kind of boring. Now watch it again with the sound on, and you'll damn near cry. I certainly did the first time I watched it. I mean, notice how the piano hits the high F right as Charlie slams "Not Penny's Boat" on the window. That's surely no accident. And that's only one example! Others being Boone's death and Aaron's birth, any time they explore the island, the little motif that plays whenever something mysterious happens, and when the Oceanic 6 first land at Sumba using Penny's life raft. Now, I'm sure I'm not saying anything here that nobody else has realized, but I thought it would be a good idea to say it on record. Michael Giacchino regularly makes one of the strongest scores television has ever seen. There. I said it.

Also, he made the music for The Incredibles. I love that movie.

"Not Everything Will be Answered"

2010-01-12T13:42:00.000-08:00

During the LOST panel at ABC's press day everything was about the ending and the final season.

I know that a lot of people do not want to know spoilers - this article does list characters who will be returning, but otherwise not a lot of information. It also talks about the ending already being decided...

They say the premiere of Season 6 is going to blow our minds... think it actually will?

UPDATE: No STOU on Feb 2nd!

2010-01-08T12:41:00.000-08:00

Looks like the LOST premiere will air as scheduled, on Feb 2nd.

You can read about it here.

A Week in Review

2010-01-08T11:47:00.000-08:00

It's been a big week for LOST and OPM.

First, the rescheduled State of the Union could bump the season premiere on Feb2nd. You can read about it everywhere. Including the Wrap and The Washingtong Post.

I love that this is news. And I love that there's some crazy dude on twitter who started a hashtag urging #NoStateofUnionFeb2. And I love that everyone is reporting that too.

Doesn't this mean nothing to us West Coasters, though? The SOTU airs from 9-11pm EASTERN time. Take that East Coast suckers.

Next up, here at Orange Peel Mouth, we had the pleasure of reading our first blog by our new contributor, Dylan!

HI! I'm Dylan, Orangepeelmouth's newest contributor! How's it going? I wanted to do something to honor some of those whom we've lost (get it?) over the past 5 seasons, so I'm going with a good ol' fashioned Caption Contest. We've not had one of those in a while! So, here ya go:

You can't talk about death on the Island without mentioning Boone. Also, Nikki's there just for good measure. So yeah, whatcha got?

So It Begins.

I can't decide how I feel about it! I'm intrigued, but it might be a little too much of an FBI drama...

and why do they keep calling Penny "Olivia"? And where's Charlie? I thought he was in this show?

Hey everybody!

We have posted our entry for the Comic-Con main theme contest. If you don't know what that means, lemme explain.

The producers of Lost had a contest for the panel at Comic-Con. The challenge was to write an original song under 60 seconds for what you think would be the theme song to Lost if Lost had a theme song. If you won, then your entry would be played in front of the entire audience attending the Lost Comic-Con panel, with a mock title sequence.

somebody else one.

But now you can listen to our rejected entry! We basically took "Flashbacks", and butchered it to be under 60 seconds, in a true lazy Constants fashion. However, we took more time recording this than we took writing and recording all the other songs you have heard thus far. So listen and enjoy!

My new favorite LOST blog is Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear if only because it's pretty much what Orange Peel Mouth would be if I took the time to do all the stuff I wanted to instead of just post in the comments of posts that Matt and Madeline write. To further prove I'm a terrible blogger, I only mention this blog because It's easier to just link to it than write a whole post and upload pictures and stuff. So, without further ado, check out Paul Scheer's post on what was written on Charlie's hand at Comic-Con.

Lost Re-Watch Weeks 1&2

2009-06-15T18:04:00.000-07:00

The Lost re-watch has begun! It's been two weeks, starting with season 1. I had my concerns going in, "what if I can't keep up?". Well, it turns out that 4 episodes a week is almost not enough. The most challenging part so far is pacing myself! I find myself watching two episodes in a row and desperately trying to find a way to distract myself as to prevent myself from getting too far ahead of myself. If you haven't started yet, don't be afraid to start... I promise you'll catch up in no time!

With that said, here's a list of episodes watched so far:

1. Pilot part 1
2. Pilot part 2
3. Tabula Rasa
4. Walkabout
5. White Rabbit
6. House of the Rising Sun
7. The Moth
8. Confidence Man

You can't help but notice how scrawny half the dudes are in the pilot compared to later seasons, i.e. Sayiid. He actually bulks up a lil' by episode 3 even, but no where as near the end of season 3. Kate wears dude pants, and is not at her hot peak yet. Sawyer's hair is also dramatically shorter in the pilot as opposed to episode 3, and Sawyer is also one of the most fun characters, especially now that we've experienced his arc. This show has the BEST character development, and it's been extremely enjoyable thus far.
It's fun to watch and think about all the things that are taking place on other parts of the island as shit is going down in the foreground. Like what Ben is up, or any of the others in fact, since they are not featured in the first season. We know that Ben is ordering Ethan to infiltrate the camp, and make lists. Juliet is hosting a book club, and Desmond has just recently failed to push his button 'causing the plane crash (as we all know now as the very thing Jack hopes to prevent by nuking the pocket of energy in the swan station rendering it "inert" - Daniel Faraday R.I.P.)
These are the things that you consider, but try not to dwell on as some of the best Lost moments are happening right in front of you. I was yelling at the T.V. screen, demanding my Locke after 3 episodes with a lack of, when he shows up on screen with a suitcase full of knives and more confidence than you could shake a stick at. So fucking awesome. Speaking of, "Walkabout" is one of the best and heart braking episodes of the whole damn series. Locke introduces backgammon to Walt as "a game older than Jesus, with two sides: White, and black". At this time we are to suspect him as a creepy pedophile. Awesome. Fake-Matt wondered if Locke mistakenly calling Kate by the name of the girl he frequently calls on a hot-line (pre-island) is a jab at Evangeline Lilly's Hot Links past! Is it!? Awesome.
White Rabbit is where Lost gets all Losty. The dead starts showing up, Locke saves Jack! and tells him that he's looked into the eye of the island. Shit gets spooky. Remember when Lost was spooky?
The next few episodes are full of old Lost goodies: Charlie doing heroine, flashing back to Drive Shaft days. Sawyer being an asshole, getting tortured by Sayiid. Weird relationship between Micheal and Sun, Jin being a dick. It's all great. I could write forever on the awesomeness of season 1. But I have to stop here, due to my other "life". I'll leave you with this question:

Is season 1 so refreshing, so awesome, so good... because season 5 was so bad?

Sightings!

2009-06-11T15:17:00.000-07:00

Wonderful readers (okay, two of my friends) have been writing in with their LOST character sightings. Above you'll see Hurley & his long board at 10th & L. (photo courtesy of Alan LaGuardia's iPhone)

Also spotted:

Anthony Cooper: yesterday at 9th & L... apparently too fast to get a photo

John Locke: today Rite Aid on K St. Wearing Army pants and a white t-shirt. "He'd'a shivved me if I photo'd him though"

I, personally, have seen Kate (she works in my office) and Jin (he was walking down J St!).

If you spot 'em let us know! Take a photo!

Addendum: the original (and ultimate) sighting was Ethan Rom at the Rubicon. This was no ordinary sighting, as Ethan was casually placing himself at various tables... pretending to be a part of those parties. He was clearly identifying all the women, noting if they were pregnant or had babies. We were very fearful and kept shouting "he's an other! he's an other!" to ourselves.

DOC ARTZ REWATCH SCHEDULE!

2009-06-01T15:41:00.000-07:00

Hey,

Doc Artz has posted a re-watch schedule for all five seasons! Starting today! It doesn't seem like it will be very hard to keep up with, and this dude is definitely in.

Here's a link.

Sounds like every Sunday they'll be analyzing the episodes watched for the week, and posting about it. So we will also be keeping up here on this blog, check back next Sunday! or monday, when you're at work not working.

Where to Go from Here?

2009-05-19T14:22:00.000-07:00

Okay, so the season is over. We're going to try and still maintain the blog through the hiatus, but posting might be a little more ... infrequent. We'll just say it's not our ... primary objective...

No, but really. Here are some thoughts for a LOST blog pre-season 6.

- Scheduled re-watch. I, personally, am going to start rewatching from the middle of Season 2. However, it might be worth it to start from Season 1, if the final season is going to mirror it.

- LOST book club, featuring books that are on the show

- More LOST & Bothered, where were they whens and those types of posts.

- LOST in Sacramento. This would be a man-on-the-street photo type thing... basically asking people in Sac who look like LOST characters if we can take their photos and post them. We've had multiple Hurley sightings already!

What do you think? Is there anything you readers want? Does anyone care? Do you just want to talk about Rose & Bernard? Post Constants lyrics?

Dr. Pepperoni

2009-05-15T21:58:00.000-07:00

Thanks to everyone who came to the Constants show. We really had a great time, and are so stoked on how it turned out! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! I also have to thank Kyle and Alex for being awesome and hookng it up. Spanks dudes!

The Incident

2009-05-13T23:06:00.001-07:00

Well, we know who Jacob is, sort of. Pretty exciting, I guess. We've seen the statue in all it's glory. Definitely Egyption, possibly Taweret? We see that Rose and Bernard are doing A-OK in the jungle, living on there own. I was stoked on that scene. We know that Jack loves Kate, and Juliette loves Sawyer, both so much they're willing to blow up an entire island. It seems Locke isn't really Locke (which explains his non-weenieness). And we got another ending of something blowing up. Which leaves season 6 open to pretty much anything at this point. I've got a few theories, but I'll save that for the comments. I guess the big question is if the hydrogen bomb prevented the incident, changing time, or did she just cause it to happen? What's the deal with Locke's body? Is Jacob really dead? What about Desmond? Did you notice that Juliette's flashback was the only one that Jacob wasn't in? And that Jacob physically touched everyone in their flash back? What's up with Ilana? Why is she all bandaged, and why did Jacob choose her? What is Lapidus a candidate for?

Questions & Answers: Follow the Leader

2009-05-06T15:28:00.001-07:00

Alright, it's late, so let's just get down to business.

First question: how the hell does a submarine get to Michigan? We know that those fools ain't gettin' off so easy. But way to throw Kate in there to make things uncomfortable.

Answer: We now know more of Richard's role... he's an "advisor". But clearly he doesn't know all. How much does he know? Why doesn't he age?

Question: He sees them all die?! WTF? Please explain, RichyRich.

Answer: John Locke's purpose is to kill Jacob. And he's lying to Sun. Sadness Sun!

Alright so Chang knows the truth about the future (his questions to Hurley were great, I thought) and that Miles is his kid. You'd think he'd have more authority over Radzinsky and that jerk, Phil. Who is really in charge of Dharma?

So, what do we think... is the Incident just a result of the hydrogen bomb being set off (btw, who keeps a hydrogen bomb in a temple - he said to BURY it)? Also, is the temple directly below the Dharma village? Does that make sense? What the hell is Locke doing? Is Ben going to go along with it? So did Locke set this whole thing up? He, after all, is the one who had Richard tell himself that he had to die. Doesn't that seem circular or am I missing something?

The Variable

2009-04-29T22:05:00.000-07:00

Another good episode (even if it was chock full of more annoying children). Faraday's relation to Eloise and Widmore are confirmed (making him Penny's half brother, at least). Jack and Sawyer are back to there feudin', though Sawyer isn't quite as big of a dick about it any more. I kind of miss that. It seemd they're building up to "the accident", where Chang will lose his arm and probably lead to some Dharma folks leaving the Island (including, as Biz said, lil' Miles). It's getting tougher and tougher to figure out who's "good" and "bad", Eloise Hawking sent her son back to the Island, knowing she would kill him. The question of whether or not you can change the past to affect the future is still a bit up in the air. At this point, I'm leaning towards no, though I've read some good arguments otherwise. What do you all think? And of course, we lost our dear Faraday. Will it be for good? I think so. I'm not saying we won't see more of him...but I think he did indeed die as a result of getting shot. Any thoughts on that?

More Press: Evangeline Lilly & Matthew Fox

2009-04-28T10:05:00.000-07:00

Not nearly as exciting as the previous clips, but there's more LOST stars on late-night tv. Looks like we're gearing up for a season finale....

Here you can watch Matthew Fox on Letterman last night. He says (prepare yourself) the finale will have a big cliffhanger. What a shocker.

And in a total snooze fest, Evangline Lilly compares working with Matthew Fox and Josh Holloway here. Jack-Kate-Sawyer-Yawn.

We already saw Michael Emerson on Jimmy Fallon and today Jorge Garcia was on the Bonnie Hunt show! Who knew Bonnie Hunt had a talk show. Anyway, his interview is awesome.

Questions & Answers: Some Like It Hoth

2009-04-15T19:18:00.001-07:00

I enjoyed this episode, but I'm a big fan of Miles. It was pretty much an Information episode, but I always like it when you get to see more of Dharma and the inner-workings.

I'm gonna guess that Dr. Chang made his wife and son leave the Island because he had gotten wind of the purge and wanted to save them. I'm assuming he didn't mention this to his wife, however.

Faraday is back! Who didn't love seeing his head pop out of that submarine? So, okay, Faraday has been in Ann Arbor... which means when he "took off" it was to go be a scientist. He's not with the Others, he didn't kill himself, etc etc.

So, Miles got a counter-offer to not go work for Widmore. And yeah, that guy in the van - Bram - was on flight 316 and is now holding a gun to Lapidus' head. He's the one who knows to ask "What lies in the shadow of the statue?". So, what do you think is in the shadow of the statue?

Also, anyone who doesn't like Hurley is a crumb.

Lastly, we now know that it's possible for you to exist twice in the same time. Miles and Baby Miles are both on the Island in 1977. "Maybe he'll let you hold baby you" was the best.

Important LOST news: there's no episode next week (it's a recap show, I guess) and then there's only FOUR episodes left. That's all we get.

Who would you want to call Mom or Dad?

2009-04-10T11:22:00.000-07:00

The last two episodes have featured the parental stylings of both Ben and Kate. Ben and Kate have something in common: they like to steal other people's babies and raise them as their own. Amusing now, isn't it, that Ben harassed Kate with his "but he isn't your son" comment? So, who is the better "parent"?

Let's review some of the facts:

-Ben STEALS Alex, but saves her life by not killing her as Charles wanted

-Ben is a controlling father, wanting only the best for his child

-Ben let's Alex die, though he does seem to be remorseful and wants to seek revenge for her life (a true sign of fatherly love)

-Kate takes Aaron as her own only after Claire disappears

-Kate prefers to lie to everyone about being his mother, rather then find his true family

-Kate admits that she was pretty much using Aaron's love to deal with Sawyer leaving her

-Kate gives Aaron to his grandmother to go back to the Island (supposedly to find Claire)

So, who do you think is better at parenting? Let us know. You have a week!

Dead Is Dead.

Ugh. Comment. As of now, I'm not a fan of Dead is Dead.

UPDATE:
Okay, now that I've had some time to think about it, I'm ready to take a sturdier stand on the epsode. Note the "as of now" in the original post...I know I'm easily swayed. Reading what you have to say in the comments certainly helps get my thoughts in order. DB eloquently said pretty much exactly what I was thinking. The concepts in last night's episode (and much of this season) are great. I'll agree with The Armeniac - seeing inside the temple, with all the glyphs and everything, was totally awesome. But the smoke monster playing back all of Ben's bad deeds (in full color, no less?) That part felt more like a Chick tract than LOST. Alex telling him he has to follow Locke now? I feel like that was too convenient. There goes that interesting dynamic of two men both trying to take the lead. That whole scene was so campy and melodramatic. However, I'll also agree with Meg, that the writers may in fact no what they're doing, and Dead is Dead might end up being less lame in hindsight, once we have a bigger picture. I can also see looking back, when all is said and done, and feeling like this episode is the one that jumped the shark.

Questions & Answers: Whatever Happened, Happened

2009-04-02T09:30:00.000-07:00

Okay, let's talk. The episode was ok. My main issue with it was that it was Kate-centric and man, do I hate Kate. You know what I also hate? Kate and Aaron. Blech. Who cares. There are so many other things I'd rather know then what happened to Aaron. Like where's Bernard and Rose? How will Walt fit in? What's Desmond doing? How is Sun gonna get to '77? What's Locke going to do? But noooooo. Kate and Aaron. And Kate, every mother loses a kid in a store. Once we lost Matthew at the Yuba-Sutter fair when he was 3. Turns out he was riding the carousel the whole time.

Anyway, Ben's not dead and if you're living in the past, you can't change the future. Also, Richard Alpert knew who Ben was already.

I thought the most interesting thing occurred when the rando Other said "Charles and Ellie might not be happy about this". In my house this led to a big discussion about how old Penny would be at that time. Was Penny born on the Island? Is Daniel Charles Widmore's son? Does that mean that Penny and Daniel are related? How does Ben get Charles off the island? Does Richard make Ben immortal? Is this why Ben and Charles can't kill each other? Because neither one can die?

And finally! Someone talks about time travel.

Thanks to Cody, for posting the placeholder.

Okay, so someone has taken clips of LOST and put them over clips of the Muppet Babies. It kind of trips me out.
