Happy New Year!

I hope your 2009 (or 2005, if you happen to be on Island time) is filled with love, good fortune, and a full season of LOST that isn't interupted by any actors strikes.

Lostpedia

I was gonna post a "Lost & Bothered" post, however, I was having a difficult time choosing. Hurley? I mean, everyone does love him. Kate? That seems kind of obvious. Sun? For another female? Some random secondary character like Liam? Just because?

So, I headed on over to Lostpedia for some light reading, only to find that it has changed! Apparently, Lostpeida has joined Wikia, whatever that means. I didn't bother reading the message. The format is different, but it looks as though all the same content is there.

Sorry for the boringness, but it's a slow news week, even in LOST terms. I needed to see something other then John Locke in a santa cap.

Awesome.

*sorry the picture isn't that great.

LOTS of new INFO, SPOILERS and CLIPS

Hey there... you want some LOST answers? Well, I might just have a few for you.

The Blogosphere is ripe with LOST info today. A new clip was released. And lots and lots and lots of spoilers.

Jezebel posted them all ... and a new trailer (which is action-packed!). Check it out, if you dare to be informed.

*disclaimer*: Jezebel does not specifically say where this info is coming from ... so take it with a grain of salt and remember that speculation is part of the fun.

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?

LOST and Bothered

Sorry for not posting yesterday. This annoying thing called WORK got in the way. Anyway, the countdown to the new season of LOST has pretty much begun (but didn't it start at the finale of Season 4?) ... getting us more bothered then usual. Who is it this week that's driving us cra-azy?

Jack Shepard, please be my hero.

Okay, so Jack can't be ignored. The show revolves around this guy and that's probably because he's hot. Jack is hot for a lot of reasons, but most of them involve his chest. C'mon, how many of you were like "oh, Jack's chest is hairy in this episode but not in that one! That MEANS something" just because you wanted to stare at different photos of shirtless Jack? Yeah, that's what I thought. Looking for appendix scars, hmph. Anyway, we also all want to be saved and Jack's our guy. People Jack has saved:

• Sarah, his wife. He "fixed her" and then she could dance at her wedding
• Rose, right after the plane crashed
• Ben
• the girl in the car crash when Jack was on the bridge. However, he was also the reason she needed to be saved

People/things Jack has not saved:

• His marriage. Whoops.
• the pilot in the cockpit
• the Marshal
• Joanna, because he saved Boone instead
• Colleen, one of the others
• Boone (thank God, right? Him and Shannon always bothered me)

There are a bunch of people who you can say survived because of Jack. The Oceanic 6, Sawyer, etc etc. Do you think they got off the Island because of Jack? Yeah, yeah, Jack's the leader, but does he deserve the credit?

Jack has lots of fun relationships too. His wife. That Thailand girl. Juliette (blech!). And last, but certainly not least, Kate. Jack and Kate are big on being HOT together.

Look! You can even get a Jack action figure!!

"He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us"

WTF

I searched Harold Perrineau on google and this popped up. Totally unexpected, but completely awesome. It's a video for the troops comin' home directed by Jin. It also has that one girl from the show "Dexter" in it, making it a super WTF for me, because I love "Dexter". WTF.

Episode pick of the week!

Season 3, Episode 21
"Greatest Hits"

Character: Charlie

This is my personal favorite episode of Lost, hence why I chose it as the first "episode of the week". This is the episode where Desmond has had a premonition of Charlie's death, only this time he has to die because in Desmond's vision Charlie's death aid's in the rescue of all the survivor's. We then get flashbacks of what Charlie considers to be the greatest moments of his "sad pathetic excuse of a life."

Thankfully the some of the best moments of his life include his brother Liam, and singing "Wonderwall" on the streets of London, probably with hopes of scoring some more junk.

All in all it's a farewell episode to Charlie with the added bonus of two hot Dharma chicks weilding guns in an underwater station at the very end.

Here's my absolute favorite seen from the episode, and maybe from all of Lost.

HO! HO! HO! Happy Christmas!
