Season 5 Dharma Initiation Kit

Since no one will want to actually re-watch season 5 (be honest, do you?), they're including a Dharma Initiation kit. Hits stores just in time for Christmas!

Thanks to Amanda's facebook for the link.

The Incident

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?

Pack & Shave

I'm terribly sorry I haven't been posting much and thanks to the Maxwells for keeping the dream alive. I've been learning the dark and archaic art of microfilm and microfiche. I'm not sure why that affects my posting, since I would never do anything extracuricular on the Man's dime, but somehow it does. Over the next couple of days I'll try and make up for lost time.

I know I'm a few days behind on this, but I guess if you wanted your LOST news in a timely manner you probably wouldn't come here for it. ABC put up a new sneak peak into season five. This time we have shaving Jack talking to packing Ben. I guess I'll warn you that it's kind of a spoiler, if you consider seeing a scene from the show out of context a spoiler.
UPDATE: The YouTube video wasn't being displayed right, so you might have to sit through a commercial and watch the official ABC version. It looks better anyways.

Any thoughts? Is Ben telling the truth about the last time he saw Locke? Is he ever telling the truth? Why is he packing a suit and tie? Do you think ABC is going to show a clip of how each of the Oceanic 6 are convinced to go back to the island?

SPOILER

As I was telling Matthew last night, don't worry, Season 5 will be here before you know it.

NY Mag reports a big spoiler and it has to do with baby-napping Kate and Angela's dad from My So-Called Life. I'm not gonna say anymore, but I'll leave you with the TWO MINUTE clip, that might just help you make it through this December.

Frayed So...

So by now this is pretty old news, but has everyone seen the season 5 footage (along with some stuff from previous seasons) that's made into a music video for the Fray? Madeline and Matt argued over who was going to blog about it first, but, you snooze, you lose. And so does everyone else, cause this song is Bad (note the capital "b".) The footage is super awesome though. (Check out the video in it's entirety here or by following the link in the sidebar to ABC's Official LOST site.) There's all kinds of stuff happening. Fun-loving Hurley with a gun. Juliet uncovering what appears to be the Hatch to the Swan station, or one just like it. Sayid fighting with what appears to be (look closely) Desmond and Jack (it appears Jack might be trying to sedate him!) I figured out how to take screen shots, so here's some things that I got a kick out of.This part is so cheesy. The dude's playing his piano and it cuts to this shot of Ben playing the piano. You know, cause Ben is a lot like the Fray dude. You don't know how either got where they are, and they both make you feel a little uneasy.Oh you clever LOST marketing dudes. You're so subtle. I barely noticed the half second flash of this logo. Twice. A quick search for "Ajira Airlines" in Lostpedia will let you in on all there is to know. I appreciate the effort, but it seems that the subtlety is a bit lost.This part was real funny to me, because it looks like a shot from DOOM. One can only hope that a LOST first person shooter video game is in the works.'Nuff said.And finally, I'd like to propose this dude from the Fray as our secondary mascot (after Locke with an orange peel in his mouth) because he looks like mine and Matt's LOST-obsessed love-child, conceived in a tent sometime between the end of season 4 and the beginning of season 5.

Where's Arturo?

Here's the poster that will hang above the bed I share with Cody, once it get's here from Amazon. I've noticed that it's missing a few people, and I can't seem to understand why?
