Lost Recap – "316"
Ok, this week has been really good for me. And it has been that rarest of Wednesday evenings; I am caught up on work and prepared for tomorrows class on Tuesday. Consequently, I can do this writeup.

LOST Recap: The Little Prince
The Little Prince is one of the most maddening type of LOST episodes; it has some amazing revalations and new information, and clearly is setting up plotlines for future episodes, but has zero rewatch value and leaves you with vague feeling like you’ve been strung along for nothing. That said, there are some great surprises:

Lost: Jughead
Ok, so I am a little late to the party. I was too jumpy after that episode. And then I got busy. But it you feel like commenting with new pet theories, please do.

LOST Tidbits
The season premiere reminded me of a couple of things that I found while browsing the World Wide Web. 1. The top 5 conservative characters on LOST A slightly tongue in cheek article about why LOST should be Karl Rove’s favorite show. An exerpt: 2. Locke: John Locke is the most mystical character on TV.…

LOST: Season 5 Premiere
“Because You Left” “The Lie” Wow… I have been waiting a long time for this premiere, and the opening was the most exciting reveal since the first episode of season 2. Other critics have stated that this is the best since the pilot episode, but I think that it’s even better. The pilot had no…

Lost: Day Four?
I’ve been out all weekend with the flu, so the days have kind of blurred together. I just have a couple of thoughts about the run thus far (through the first third of the second season): 1. The season premiere of season 2 (and thus far, all of the seasons) is top-notch. I remember the…

LOST: Day Three
Episodes 9-19 Oh, man. I miss this stretch of Lost. This is where the supernatural mindfuck of the show comes in. I remember discovering the crazy power of the numbers again. I was worried that the show wouldn’t stand up to a rewatch, but now I am on board and begging for more once again.…

Lost: Day Two
“The Moth” “Confidence Man” -Really digging Locke’s growing spiritual power. The full realization of the sage, or wise old man archetype. One of the best stretches the show has ever had was the dueling priest showdowns between Locke and Mr. Eko. -Man oh man, I had forgotten how good “Confidence Man” was. Unquestionably one of…
