Some very talented
Lost fan took plane crash clips from the last three seasons and
edited them together in a sequence to show what was happening as the plane crashed. Even though
the editor doesn't seem to think it's very good, it really is. Sure, the time doesn't match up exactly, but it's pretty damn close. The plane crash is shown in almost real time from the perspective of the passengers, The Others, and Desmond. It shows the cause-and-effect of the near-implosion of the hatch when Desmond doesn't push the button. It's very exciting, though I kind-of think it wouldn't make any sense to anyone who doesn't watch
Lost.
Video is after the jump:

First off, spectacular season finale. It was exciting, dramatic, gave us answers (and even more questions) and was just beautifully done all around. Easily the best season-ender in the short history of Lost, and one of the best season finales of any series, ever. Every character had something to do (loved Hurley in the van and Locke throwing the knife into Naomi), the editing was phenomenal, the music was just really well done (the ominous drums, the sad music with Charlie dying, etc), and Matthew Fox deserves an Emmy for this episode alone.

If you caught the recent episode of
Lost (
'Catch-22'), you may have already started scouring the web in search of clues regarding the little ditty Desmond sang during a flashback, while supping down copious amounts of wine.
The key to the song lies in Desmond's nationality. In case you hadn't noticed, he's Scottish (by the sounds of his accent, probably from Glasgow, possibly Paisley).
Henry Ian Cusick, the actor who portrays Desmond, isn't actually Scottish himself -- he was born in Trujillo, Peru. His
father is Scottish, but he spent most of his early life in Trinidad and Tobago and moved to Scotland when he was 15.

I'm not sure if you've been reading Doc Jensen's Lost theories over at Entertainment Weekly's web site. The guy is obsessed (in a good way), and has come up with some very intriguing and plausible ideas on what is really happening on the island and what all the clues (the numbers, the names, how people are connected, etc) might actually mean. Not sure if I follow his logic with his latest theory though.
He's been thinking about the names and what they could mean in the overall picture. The people behind the show have said that the character names have not been chosen randomly. Each name means something (though I wonder what "Hurley" could mean. Does he vomit a lot? Is he really a baseball player?), and the name that especially intrigues him is the new character, Jacob, who we saw in a quick scene on one of the monitors wearing an eyepatch (if that was him, that is!).

The other day we told you that
Variety had broken the news that
Bad Twin, the
Lost tie-in book, was written by acclaimed mystery writer Lawrence Shames. Shames doesn't confirm that he's the author of the book, but he does have
a few things to say about it:
"It is interesting how closely his prose style resembles mine. He sets a lot of the story in places I've been." He also says that the book is "excellent" and "everyone should read [it]."
Ha!

I know, I know, you're saying to yourself, "jeez Bob, more
Lost posts?" I hear ya. But it's a popular show, and the theories and articles just keep a-comin'.
This site gives a chart of how many of the show's characters are related. Now, I try to follow the show as closely as I can, but since I don't want to go batshit crazy and end up in the loony bin with Hurley and Libby, I don't follow every single piece of information or clues, so I don't know if all of this is correct or up to date.
The date says it was last updated on May 11, so I'm sure a post-season finale upgrade is coming soon.

Not the actors and actresses that will be playing these parts, but the characters themselves. If it's true that the outside world will now become a plot point in the show (and after seeing the two Arctic station guys and Penelope on the phone at the end of the season finale, it looks like it will be),
new characters on
Lost will include:
- Female, 30s, with leadership qualities
- Female, early 20s, very attractive
- Male, Latino, early 20s, handsome, mysterious quality
So who do
you want to see in these roles?

OK, so we're all trying to figure out what the hell happened on
Lost the other night. For all the new questions the arose (what was that big foot statue, who were the two guys in the Arctic station at the end, are Locke/Eko/Desmond dead, etc), I think the biggest question I have is, what the heck is wrong with Charlie? Wasn't he acting just a little bit peculiar last night? The way he acted with Locke and with Eko, and then when the hatch exploded, the next scene we see the castaways just sitting around a fire and he kisses Claire. Didn't he go to see what happened in the hatch after the big light explosion and that weird noise? Aren't the other castaways wondering what was up with that and where Locke/Eko/Desmond are? That was a weird scene, and I'm trying to figure out whether it means something or if it was just lazy writing.
Anyway, TV Guide's Michael Ausiello held a chat at WashingtonPost.com, and he is asked many questions about the season finale (which he loved).
Check it out.

(S02E23) Two hour season finale. Usually that means a slow-paced episode with tons of teaser bits to keep you stringing along with a few hard-hitters near the end to keep you excited for next season. The creators of Lost must have realized that a lot of the fans of the show were feeling like we weren't getting enough answers out of the story line, so they made a jam-packed finale. It was a great episode, and I'm somewhat at a loss where to begin in writing this review.
The episode begins where last week's episode ended: all the castaways on the beach attending the funeral for Ana Lucia and Libby notice a sailboat in the distance off the beach. Sawyer, Jack, and Sayid swim out to the boat to recover the vessel and see what's going on. Once they are aboard, they are greated by gunshots being fired from below deck. They dodge the bullets, then flip up the hatch only to discover a drunken Desmond below deck, recognizing Jack, saying "You," just before we go to the title screen.

This is it folks. The second season finale of
Lost. This episode has been getting quite a bit of buzz about it. I'm pretty sure it's co-written by God the way that those who have seen it talk about it. At least one big shock has been given away if you pay real close attention to the commercials. Don't be caught off-guard! Make sure you you join me here tonight so that you can voice your own opinion. As with all of our chats, you need to have AIM or a compatible client (Trillian, GAIM, etc). Once you have that, make sure you meet

Ha! A funny
web site helps the die-hard
Lost fan figure out if that week's
episode is a repeat (lately, the answer has been yes), or no.
And I mean that's exactly what you get on the
web site. If
Lost is a repeat a particular week, all you'll see on the whole web page is a "NO!" If
it's a new episode, it's just a "YES!"
I love a web site that gets right down to it.

After weeks
of idling,
Lost finally gave us a juicy nugget in last night's episode. It came in the form of a
glow-in-the-dark map on the inside of a blast door. It appears to be a map of all the Dharma Initiative hatches on the
island, and something in the middle signified with a giant, pink question mark. It looks as though all the hatches were
meant to lead to that middle spot, but they weren't finished or were blocked off (as marked with X's). Maybe that's what
the concrete is that Jack and Sayid found.
According to
this guy, who evidently stayed up all night decoding
the map, it has several phrases, such as "Sursum Corda", and "I Am Here" on the Swan hatch (where
the characters are). There are several other phrases that I'm guessing are in Latin.
Here's another, deconstructed version of the map
with a lot more text (somebody has Hi Def TV!).
