He's Got a Knife!

This was a given. Wasn't it? I did remember that I forgot to include Frank Lapidus on that list, so there could be a bonus image coming some day.

They both get chased by wild boars. (One while hunting in the jungle, the other while geo-caching.)

Enjoy Larke.

Our Own Tokyo Rose…

Y'all voted that Jessica was Sun. So, I've obliged, but allow me to remind you that you're totally wrong and she is obviously Kate! Just look at this:

LOST Season 4 Finale- Two Alternate Endings

Finally, after many moons we got to find out who was in the coffin with last night's season finale. But, if you mozy on over to You Tube you can see 2 clips of the other two people they were considering to stick in that coffin and end the finale with. So my question is, out of the three options who would you have picked to be in the coffin?

WATCH HERE

Hiatus? Don't Hate Us.

We here at Lawstsome, would just like you to know that just because Lost is on hiatus, we are not. We'll be working overtime to dig deep in the pits of Lostdom to bring you worth-while content, or at the very least poorly executed, yet humorous photoshop jobs featuring Lost characters.

Dirk really wanted everyone to know that… even though he wouldn't post to save his own life.

Summer Reading

"Lost Ate My Life", is a cook new book, available for pre-order on amazon. It was penned by two psuedo-celebs, Jon Lachonis and Amy Johnston, who are well-known amongst rabid Lost fans, for their snappy recaps and inside knowledge.

The book includes new interviews with Lost crew members Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. As well as countless theories and insight. Should be cool and something to keep you tapped in to the wonderful world of Lost while we suffer through this six month hiatus! I can certainly relate to the title, as Lost has eaten my life.

Also, let's not forget (what I'm hoping is an extensive and lengthy goose chase):

Walt is… OLD!

Seriously, like 48. Poor Walt, no one visited him. That's messed up!

The Coffin…

Locke is toast! Oh-no!











Don't look at it too long. Ok?

A-dre Lucia Part Duex

By popular demand, the gun show has come to lawstsome. BUFF!

The Smoke JONster

So maybe you voted Jonna as Claire for her light wavy hair and laser blue eyes that cut like a knife...but really folks.... Jonster, the smoke monster, is our very own security monster.... a friend to HR... keeping the peace and laying down the law.... she comes in a fury and will take you down if you don't follow the rules of the Island. Rule number one being: NO BEATS, NO BUTTS and lots of coconuts!

So LOST friends, here, today, we give you The Smoke JONster.

– Dirk and Alena

A-dre Lucia

The people have spoken, and she might be a little intimidating and hard-to-read, but hey, she's a good guy! You only really have to worry if you're Shannon (hey, it was an accident!). Our beloved administrative assistant has been voted most likely to take you down, even though she's a girl… I give you, A-dre Lucia… (She'd kill you… if she wasn't already dead).

Penny's Boat is the Black Rock?

Well, it might be… if Penny were a pirate. Well, at least that's what you all voted for. If Holly were on Lost, she'd be Penny (with a dash of black rock piratey=ness), so without further adieu, I give you, Polly…

Who is Alena?

Well, let's see, she's sassy, rough around the edges, a little tough, but motherly at times, and sometimes speaks a language other than english…

SHE'S DANIELLE ROUSSEAU!!
I can't wait for Fronchteglish to be invented!

Ana Lucia was a distant second, and believe me, we're all just lucky that she didn't win, because Fontega would've started setting traps in the forest and taking us all down.

Rumor has it that Alena herself voted for Danielle, so I suppose she is pleased with the results.
The people have spoken, and the island has brought forth this photo:

4+8+15+16+23+42=NOTHING!

Hey, don't go getting your heart set on knowing what these mysterious numbers are all about. According to Damon we'd have more luck if George Lucas was writing LOST. Here is a direct quote from the Star Wars loving, LOST writer himself... (shown to your left in a lovely shade of green)

There are some questions that are very engaging and interesting, and then there are other questions that we have no interest whatsoever in answering. We call it the midi-chlorian debate, because at a certain point, explaining something mystical demystifies it. To try and have a character come and say, "Here is what the numbers mean," actually makes every usage of the numbers up to that point less interesting.

You can actually watch Star Wars now, and when Obi-Wan talks about the Force to Luke for the first time, it loses its luster because the Force has been explained as, sort of, little biological agents that are in your blood stream. So you go, "Oh, I liked Obi-Wan's version a lot better." Which in the case of our show is, "The numbers are bad luck, they keep popping up in Hurley's life, they appear on the island." ... But if you're watching the show for a detailed explanation of what the numbers mean—and I'm not saying you won't see more of them—then you will be disappointed by the end of season six.

On a Star Wars related side note which probably only appeals to me and Dwight Schrute, I believe Damon is actually referring to when Qui-Gon Jinn (played by Liam Neeson) is telling Anakin (AKA Darth Vader) about the force in Episode I, that we are disappointed and would of rather known less as in Episode IV when Obi-Wan explains the force to Luke.

And if you'd like to know more about the Star Wars obsession the runs through a lot of LOST check out this link. There are a couple intersting parralles. Enjoy!

Poll Fest

So many polls, VOTE!

PS I just want to thank Dirk for comparing me to Vincent and the Smoke Monster. Nice one, Dirley.

If Dirk Were on Lost…

Well, the people have spoken and overwhelmingly think that Dirk needs to find a tub of Dharma Brand Ranch Dressing and get to gulping!

Dude bro! He's Hurley… Apparently Hurley with a splash of Eko and a pinch of Jack and absolutely no Sayid whatsoever. In Dirley's defense I think it has everything to do with word choice (dudes and bros and whatnot), and not physical likeness. That said, I have all the more reason to give the people what they want! And what do the people want? Obviously they want Dirk as Hurley, friends, I give you "Dirley (dude bro)".

Mirror Matter

Hey LOST Friends! Here is a little nerd theory i ran into recently. Please forgive me if any of this info has already been discussed or posted. This link is a bit long and kinda brainy but worth the effort. I hope you enjoy.

Real Quick

Ok, so I was wrong. It was not a Claire flashback and her mom wasn't dead from the car accident. Tonight's episode was great, however, I still really want to know what's up with Claire.

This whole Orchid station is craziness with it's secret elevator that takes you underground, oh and that freighter! Those explosives! Will it make Jin, Desmond and Michael all blowed up?

Gosh!

Tonight: There's No Place Like Home:

Click your heels and it'll be here at about 10pm tonight.

Here is ABC's official press release:
The face-off between the survivors and the freighter people begins.

Pretty vague, eh?

SPOILER ALERT:
I also read the list of guest starring actors, which includes a whole lot of familiar names, mostly that of the living relatives of the Oceanic 6 (Hurley's parents, Sun's parents, Jack's mom, Nadia, etc.) Most interesting of all, Carole Littleton… Claire's mom! This means one of two things:
1. She didn't die in a coma OR
2. (as I suspected) We're getting a lovely companion piece to "Through the Looking Glass" (Charlie's season finale swan song) and this time we'll be saying farewell (flashback style) to Claire. This is totally going to be a Claire flashback that includes her mom and Christian Shepard. Maybe I could just send a list of my favorite remaining characters and they could continue to kill them in the season finales. This episode is going to be great, I might cry.
I was wrong.

Check It Out!

This is a recap from Erika Olsen of longlivelocke.com

REVISITING "SOMETHING NICE BACK HOME"

For those of you who don't keep up with the comments for each post, I wanted to draw your attention to an especially interesting idea that came out of last week's write-up. I had pasted in the dialogue between the psychic and Claire, and after Claire questioned his insistence that she now give her baby to a "couple of strangers in L.A." instead of raise it herself, the psychic replied, "They're not strangers, Claire. They're good people."

What if the psychic not only foresaw the crash (he did insist she go on Flight 815 specifically, remember), but also knew that Aaron would/should end up living with Kate and Jack (or someone else) afterward? The whole "they're not strangers" thing is kind of suspicious in hindsight... because the people who have Aaron in the future ARE in L.A. and are NOT strangers to Claire.

I swear to you, I know that they've had the series planned out for a long time and all, but if they planted that line back in Season One for all of us to freak out over once everything is said and done, well... that is just incredible. I don't know what else to say.

One last thing on the topic of that poor little boy, Aaron... when Christian and Claire told Locke that he's "where he's supposed to be"... he was with Sawyer in the jungle. Their words could be interpreted many ways:
1) He's supposed to remain with Sawyer on the Island.
2) He's supposed to remain with Sawyer OFF of the Island, and Sawyer was supposed to leave and end up raising him with Kate, but for some reason didn't.
3) He's supposed to be with Sawyer in order for Sawyer to go back to the beach and hand him over to Kate.

Since we know that Future Hurley and Dead Charlie told Jack that he was "not supposed to raise him," and since we know that Future Hurley and Future Jack will both try to get back to the Island, what are we to make of Aaron remaining with Kate? From what we've seen, Kate isn't feeling any guilt whatsoever for having Aaron, nor is she being haunted by visions urging her to return. I guess that's why "What's Up With Aaron?" is one of the biggest mysteries on the show.

Sudden Revelation

Claire is totally dead. I mean, I thought it was a possibility, but after reading a few things, I'm 100% positive. Here's why:

1. That explosion at Claire's bungalow was funky from the beginning and they don't make ridiculous errors, like people surviving unsurvivable situations.
2. Miles acted like something was up with Claire in the jungle, and he sees dead people.
3. Aaron is with Kate, when Claire clearly has become attached to her baby, no longer desiring to give him up for adoption.
4. I think she half survived the explosion, but perhaps died when they were in the jungle, at which point Christian came to lead her into the beyond, but making her leave Aaron (who is alive) behind.
5. She acts slightly all-knowing in the Jacob's cabin scene, much like the other deadies we've encountered (Charlie with his messages to Hurley, Boone with his messages to Locke, etc.). Not to mention, it seems she's not even phased by the strangeness of the whole situation.

She's dead : (

The 3 Stooges: Lockey, Ben and Hurley

Undoubtedly, the scene with Ben and Hurley sharing an Apollo bar ensured me that there can be funny after Charlie (although that still doesn't make it ok). Wow, what a classic scene! It went from ultra scary to cheesy buddy movie in like 2 seconds.

Ok, it's business time. So, according to everyone I've talked to, it is popularly believed that Locke is going to replace Ben in the island hierarchy. Perhaps Jacob wants a new right hand? Ben seems to obey the power of Jacob, he's sort of stepping aside willingly. That's not a very Ben-ish thing to do. Perhaps he was temporarily out of steam due to the death of Alex. We do know he's back in business come 2005. Me wonders if he is still working for Jacob or just for himself. Perhaps he splits and engages in a semi-friendly game of "let's find the island" with Widmore? Who knows? Certainly not me.

Oh and Locke! Is he getting crafty, or are things falling into place because he's following the lead of the island? Could be an interesting parallel to life as a Christian, and following God's path for us. Unfortunately, I'm inclined to think that Locke did know what he was doing when he cleverly tricked Hurley into following them. I believe this because it appears to me, that Ben is one step ahead of him and seems to know what's going before Locke even realizes it. For instance, Ben knew that Locke was have island-y dreams, even though Locke never mentioned it.

Holy cow, let's talk about crazy loop dream sequence. Two things: 1.) I'm a little miffed, because I thought Horace was real and was really telling us that he's aware that he's dead, but kind of alive. 2.) That was friggin' scary and creepy x10. Once it was doing that loop stuff, oh man, I bet all the people with time loop theories were messing themselves! Check your shorts time loopers, it looks like you were right!

Ok, time for work. Also, don't forget, Part 1 of the season finale airs tomorrow night, then we have a little week-long vacation (to re-watch season four, like good little obsess-ers) and then it returns with Part 2 of the finale, aptly titled "There's No Place Like Home", last year's was "Through the Looking Glass". Wonderland and Oz, and let's not forget the barrage of Narnia references this year. Have I mentioned that I love this show?!

Stir Crazy, Part 1: Claire

I'm doing this recap in parts, because I'm crazy and I can write a lot about it. Yes, my largest waves of brilliance are invoked by a tv show. Don't judge me.

Well, suffice it to say, "Cabin Fever" could very well hold a slot in my top 5 all-time episodes. Of course, I have to give it time to sink in. I'll let you know, come season 5 whether or not it makes the cut.

Anyway, I'm chillaxing at my cousin's house and making good use of my time. If I don't post within 2 days of watching the episode my memory starts to slip and all the things that made me screech become hidden memories that re-surface at random, much-less poignant moments.

Enough jibber jabber, let's talk about Claire and the complete 180. Are you kidding me? We should've expected this, right? We were all so certain that Claire would meet her demise this season, because she would NEVER separate from her beloved Aaron, right, RIGHT?!? WRONG. Well, if Lost has taught us anything, it's that when you're sure, you can be sure you're wrong. Claire (Lost High's student voted most likely to be a good guy), is looking rather cognizant of the deeply buried mysteries, and dare I say, slightly evil? I don't know how I feel about this.

Some questions to follow: Is Claire dead? Does this explain why she so mysteriously survive an explosion that succeeded in obliterating everything else? Does Claire know Jack is her brosephus? Why is Claire all buddy with her dead-beat dad? I NEED ANSWERS!

Coming soon: Part 2: Ben and Hurley, a match made in heaven.

News: A Little More Lost

ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of "Lost." The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each -- not 16 as previously planned. ABC has added two hours to the show's production plan because the WGA strike knocked three hours out of the current season.

To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to Part 2 of the season finale that airs May 29. All told, the changes will wrap up the show with the same number of episodes that producers and ABC negotiated last year.

Upcoming: Cabin Fever

"Locke is enlightened as to the whereabouts of Jacob's cabin, and life aboard the freighter becomes perilous." (Was life aboard the freighter ever not perilous?)

Oooh, and the ABC press release lists multiple actors for John Locke (including age 5 and 16).

I don't know if I can bear more sadness in the life of Locke. His flashbacks break my heart and then they pick up the pieces and put those in the food processor. Poor Locke.

And let's not forget the promise of Horace Goodspeed, our first encounter with a dead person who actually admits they're dead. Could this mean we'll be seeing our old, dead favorites? Charlie, Boone, Libby?

Will Claire survive the episode? Will we actually see the grim reaper lurking near her?

Guess we'll know in about 7 hours.

Recap: Something Nice Back Home

I liked it, what did all y'all think?

Bulleted list of topics:

• Smokey: Of all the ways to get Jack out in the lobby (phone ringing, loud noise, etc.) they chose to use a smoke detector. Smoke detectors make a pingy alarm noise when there is smoke nearby, right? Jack's dad was nearby… hmm.
• So Sawyer CHOSE to stay on the island (so sayeth mummy Kate). There was apparently no fight to get on that one last helicopter ride home. Was it a decision to be made? This makes me think the Jin and Claire are most definitely dead, come flash forwards times. If they had the choice to be with their babies, they would take it, right?

• Jack wanting to watch his surgery… DISGUSTING! I didn't know a side effect of appendicitis was insanity. Gross Jack, seriously.
• Juliette the giver? Her kind words to Kate, essentially crying uncle and giving up a chance at happiness with Dr. Jack? Didn't know she had it in her. She's making me like her even more, but I have a feeling she'll be pulling that rug out real soon like.
• Hurley? Sad? Really sad? Uhh, we can't take this. There are exactly two sources of light-hearted humor on Lost, 1.) Charlie (who is dead) 2.) Hurley (who is on the verge breakdowny suicidishness). This is no good. While Rose and Bernard throws us small bones of humor every now and again, this is not enough. Please restore Hurley to his rightful jolliness. Thank you.
• Previews from next week "You might not have seen me because I've been dead for 10 years" (or something close) finally! All you dead peops are owning up to your deadness. Something tells me the next episode will be very revealing (and I don't mean Kate losing her top). That was Horace Goodspeed btw. You'll remember him as the fellow that happened upon Ben's parents as he was being born, and recruited Ben and pops to the island o' wonders.
  

Thoughts? See ya Monday.

Quick Question…

Before we watch tonight's episode, I'm actually re-watching last weeks, because it was so good, and i feel like i missed a bunch. Anyway I think Claire's run-in with her exploding barrack was totally ridiculous. It was utterly annihilated and on fire and she was unscathed.

This, of course, is unlike Lost, to have something ridiculous and unbelievable (well, in that respect). With their hefty staff of fact checkers and continuity police, the show is virtually seamless when it comes to the accuracy of the storyline.

So, my question to you, do you think this was intentional or just a bit of good old fashioned sensationalism gone bad?

Was this meant to show us that an individual is virtually indestructible, until the island says so? I think that would be a fascinating aspect of the show and a great parallel to real-life.

Thoughts?
