LOST: The End
There will never be another episode of LOST. Throughout Season 6, an annoying ABC promo blared “The time for questions is over.” Well, now the time for answers is over too. Like the audience as a whole, I am deeply divided. Part of the problem is that “The End” was answering many different questions: Was…

Thoughts before the LOST finale.
The LOST series finale will air tonight, Sunday, May 23, from 9pm-11:30pm PST. I wasn’t a fan of LOST in the beginning. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I had never seen an episode, or known anything about it. Before I started watching, I thought it was a fictionalized “Survivor” -style show. I…

LOST: Michael Giacchino
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1K4Fsk3rG8] There’s a nice profile by Alex Ross of Michael Giacchino, the composer for “LOST” in this week’s New Yorker (I’m not going to bother linking to it because it’s behind a paywall). I’ve never been a big fan of the music on LOST. Even though, as I learned from the article, all of the…

Everybody Loves Hugo
Let me start by saying that I wasn’t particularly excited about this episode. While Hurley seems to have become a fan favorite, he’s never been one of mine, and I thought that the Libby/Hurley romance was deadweight in season two, much less when it’s come back. I don’t particularly care about his function as audience…

Ab Aeterno
My critical mind grapes disappeared during this episode. I enjoyed it completely and totally. Great performance by Nestor Carbonell (who got to use his Spanish, along with Jorge Garcia). I anticipate ghoulish Christian book publishers to come out with “The Bible According to LOST” any day now.

"Recon"
So, I’ve finally got my episode. This was a completely solid episode where the mythology moved forward (more on this in a bit) and the alternate timeline scenes did not feel like dead weight. This is perhaps the first episode of this season that I might rank as one of the best of the series.

New LOST link on the blogroll
A LOST blog that’s new to me is The Dharma Blog, a two-person blog with both a pre-cap (speculation on what the next episode might contain, with minor spoilers from released guest star lists and the episode title) and a recap. I think that the online experience of speculation and dissection is half of the…

"Dr. Linus"
This is what I wrote before the episode aired: This is the make it or break it (use it or lose it?) moment for the show. It’s frustrating to me that I am so firmly in the show’s pocket that even if every single remaining episode is really bad. At the same time, I’m really…
