LOST – DHARMA Initiative Stations Posters

Remember when you thought the big answers to LOST had something to do with the DHARMA Initiative? We'll apparently you were wrong because LOST is "about the characters", dummy! Anyways, check out these posters from Neil Richards. He did a nice set of designs on the DHARMA Initiative stations. You can check out the other posters here.

Excerpt from The LA Times

I just read, what I found to be a pretty astute observation of the finale, here is an excerpt that I really found interesting and totally agree with:

One of the reasons I think "Lost" worked was that it was always more interested in the box and the person holding the box than what was in the box. A closed box is almost always a mystery, really, until you open it and see what's inside (which is how so many parents misdirect their kids on Christmas morning). All of the imitators of the show that have come along have focused far, far more on the contents of that box. They wanna shake it and hear if it rattles. They wanna pull back the wrapping paper and take a peek. "Lost" has always been satisfied to dump a package in your lap and think that's enough. Is it? Again, for me, absolutely. But if not for you, does the fact that you opened the box and didn't find what you wanted ruin the whole experience of the show, all of the fun you had along the way? It's not wrong to feel that way, not at all. But it probably does speak to the different kinds of people we are, and the different ways we react to art.

--Todd VanDerWerff


The end of the article is what bothered me, and I think its what turned off a lot of Christians to the last 10 minutes— because it's not what we believe. Despite the fact that Lost is a work of fiction, it's also a deeply layered metaphor for life itself, so the statement made in the last 10 minutes, that all roads lead to heaven, is a very real opinion of Lost's creators. Again, not what I believe, but a great door to conversation about what I do believe, and for that, I think Lost is great.

Guys, I Have So Many Thoughts. Here is One:

Many people are upset and feel scorned and lead-on by the ending. Perhaps Darlton was hurting us to help us "let go". Like in many epic romances where one lover must hurt (albeit falsely) the other lover in order to ultimately save them from some major pain and trouble, as a personal sacrifice… Well, it's a thought (and yes, a stretch), and here's Damon's last and only post-Lost tweet for what he promised would be a long time:

"Remember. Let go. Move on. I will miss it more than I can ever say."

So will we Damon, so will we.

Tonight's Episode: What They Died For

From the ABC Press Release:

While Locke devises a new strategy, Jack's group searches for Desmond

I am excited to tell you that this episode was a great one and features 2 VERY notable guest stars from the past (both of whom caused yelps and screaming and laughter in the theater at Lost Live). Considering the weight of the title, this episode has a surprisingly light-hearted way about it. It also has (what I consider to be) a significant and satisfying answer to one of the many questions.

Hope you enjoy it on this very last Lost Tuesday EVER. :*(

Tomorrow, Tomorrow

We will be attending Lost: The Final Celebration with Michael Giacchino (academy award winning composer, and creator of the Lost music) conducting an orchestra in the music of Lost with special guests Jorge Garcia, Michael Emerson and Nestor Carbonell, as well as a 10 min. preview of the penultimate episode, and other surprises. They've mentioned many times (by e-mail, and mail) that absolutely no cameras or CELL PHONES will be allowed… how lame?! I know! So, I wish I could say I'd have some photos to post tomorrow, but it looks like i won't, unless I can smuggle a phone in, and I don't really want to risk getting kicked out of this event.

Full report on Friday!

Sometimes…

… you just need to see Emilie de Ravine's real hair. I'm suffering from wig terror. I seriously hope the 2-hour finale features a brush.

Rumor Has It…

That tonight's episode is going to be kind of a big deal. According to EW's own Lost guru, Doc Jensen:

I will spoil nothing except to say the following: 1. “The Candidate” has been touted as monumentally important to the saga of Lost — and the touting is 100 percent accurate. 2. The title of the episode has something in common with the title of the season’s Sayid-centric episode, “Sundown.” 3. I can’t think of a better way to prepare for the ep or at least reboot yourLost memory (just in case amnesia settled in during the week long break) than by watching this week’s episode of Totally Lost, in which Dan and I break down “The Last Recruit” from two weeks ago. You’ll find the videos at the end of my blather.

I think I will be watching that vid first thang when I get home. Oh boy oh boy can't wait!

Recap Coming Tonight, In the Meantime…

After last night's episode, I'm taking the official stance of Team Jacob.

Tonight's Episode: The Last Recruit

Alliances are forged and broken as the Locke and Jack camps merge.

It appears that the flash sideways will contain stories surrounding Jack and Sayid, as both David (Jack's son) and Nadia are listed among the guest stars. Other notable guests include the tailies-turned-others, Cindy, Zack and Emma.

I'm also wondering if the "last recruit" refers to candidates and if that means we'll find out whether Kwon refers to Sun or Jin, could there finally be a reunion?!

I went to do a little research and (as always) there is an encyclopedia's worth on the candidates. Check it out: Candidates at Lostpedia

Here's the uber creepy promo for tonight's episode, featuring the Willy Wonka creepster song:

Lost Without Lost

So, I'm just relaxing on Sunday evening and I thought, why not watch some of the episodes of Lost that have been referenced since season 6?

I'm watching "Everyone Hates Hugo" right now, and I'm SO depressed! It's such a great episode, Hurley gets fed up with being the keeper of the Dharma food supply and ultimately decides to let everyone have a free-for-all and feast (for the first time in weeks) on the bonfire-lit beach. Charlie and Claire share peanut butter, Sun sorrowfully buries the bottle full of messages (that she believes to be a sign of Jin's fate on the raft) and it all ends with Michael and Sawyer entering the living quarters of the tailies to be approached by a man who asks if Rose is ok— yes the long-awaited Bernard is actually alive (just as Rose has insisted up to that point). Man I'm going to miss this show.

Last night Ian Somerhalder tweeted that he was currently acting in what are the last filmed scenes of Lost. Ever. How depressing is that?! Why are they doing this to us?! Seriously, a spin-off? A web series? Anything! Give us anything!

PS Julie Bowen looked so much better before she got all anorexic on Modern Family. For reals.

Tonight's Episode: Everybody Loves Hugo (!!!!!!!!!)

I'm not going to lie, I'm pee-my-pants excited about tonight's episode.

From the ABC press release:

Hurley agonizes over what the group should do next, and Locke is curious about the new arrival to his camp

From Carlton Cuse's Twitter:

Tonight on LOST, a blast from the past...

Among the special guest stars you will find the name CYNTHIA WATROS!!!!! EEEEP!!!! I really thought they were going to leave that loose end untied, and I REALLY wanted it tied— with a freakin' bow. And let's not forget, this surely will have a direct connection to the episode Everybody Hates Hugo, from season 2. You know, the one that opens with Hurley's crazy dream, where Jin speaks english— wait a minute!!! There's some fun digging to be had there, I'm sure.
