OK, so we've all seen the latest episode of Lost and we now know who the Oceanic Six are.
Don't we?
There seems to be some confusion among fans as to whether we've seen the last of the six "survivors" (in quotes because who the hell knows what the end game will reveal). Up until last night's episode we saw that Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid definitely survived. Last night we were supposed to find out the last of the Oceanic Six. It was revealed that Sun survived too, but Jin died (possibly on the island, but that's another plot point to be revealed later).

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:

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!).

(S32E07) I pretty much only know Matthew Fox as Jack from
Lost, so I didn't really have any expectations going into the episode. As it turned out, Fox was an okay host. However, I thought the night's writing was fantastic. Even the worst sketch of the evening (usually one of those stragglers at the end of the episode) had its moments. I can't quite put my finger on what was done differently... All I know is that I was definitely laughing out loud more than usual.

Lost is over until February 7th. Tonight, ABC is filling
Lost's time slot with a new series,
Day Break. (Think:
Groundhog Day meets
Die Hard) To keep
Lost fans murmuring about the show, the network plans to air teasers from next year's episodes during the entire run of
Day Break. But, you don't have to watch
Day Break because the 30-second clips will also be available on ABC's
Lost webpage every Thursday... and probably all over the internet immediately after they air. The network is also keeping the first six episodes of
Lost available on its website for refreshers or in case you want to watch that Sawyer/Kate sex scene again. And to keep fans from bitching about the big, fat hiatus, the network has also started up its own
Lost wiki, which it wants fans to create the content.

(S03E06) Wow... where to begin. That was certainly an episode worthy of being called a mid-season finale. Good doesn't even begin to describe it. Definitely gives us plenty to talk about while we wait for the show to return in February for it's uninterrupted run though.
This episode focused on Kate's flashbacks and those have always been sort of 50-50 for me, but this one was great I thought. Even better than when she blew up her father. Of course I'm slightly biased because these flashbacks featured Nathan Fillion and the idea of having Mal Reynolds on Lost... it's making my head hurt. Fillion played Kate's husband (she was married!) Kevin. So I suppose rather than "what Kate did" you could call these flashbacks "who Kate did."

With the holiday shopping season being a mere 38 days away, it's time to sit down and think about what you want to give out as gifts this year? Elmo TMX? Nah, they'll probably be sold out of those until the middle of 2007. The new Sony Playstation? Well, it's going to be so expensive that all of your friends will probably need to share it. Lost action figures? Come on, they don't make action figures from your favorite show.
Wrong, Mr. (or Mrs.) holiday consumer! The truth is that they do exist and will be coming to a store (or website) near you this fall, courtesy of McFarlane Toys. According to the website figures.com the company will release six fan-favorite characters from the first season. These include characters such as Charlie (pictured here and in Anna's post from August), Jack, Kate and Hurley. Future releases will feature characters like Sawyer, Jin, Walk (with Vincent his dog) and Boone.

(S03E02) Someone want to tell me why they had to call this episode "The Glass Ballerina?" It referred to one tiny thing at the very beginning! I don't know, I guess I just like my episode titles to actually tell me what's going on and not give me some vague reference to something that's ultimately not all that important. Alias used to be notorious for this. But in the end, what did we learn from the glass ballerina? We learned that Sun is a big ol' cheating liar.

Interesting article by the Associated Press about the real-life saga of how actor Michael Emerson became the leader of The Others. When he was first cast on
Lost during season two, his character, Henry Gale, was only scheduled for three episodes. Evidently, he was supposed to escape and disappear after his third appearance. But, the producers fell in love with the way Emerson played Henry Gale. They adored his bug-eyed mannerisms and the way he manipulated the main characters. Was he good or evil? They boosted up his part just a tad (sarcasm) and now he's the leader of The Others, who are holding Kate, Jack, and Sawyer captive. Who knows what will happen in the season premiere, but I think it's a good bet that we'll be seeing lots of Henry Gale in season three.
The article also gives some hints about what we can expect during season three, including seeing a lot more of The Others (duh, they're holding our favorite characters!) and scenes at a different location. In the interview, Emerson gives very little away, showing that he may just be Henry Gale in real life. Season 3 of
Lost premieres Wednesday, Oct. 4th.

Getting a little Lost deprived? Do you have the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 tattooed all over your body? Are you constantly pushing buttons where ever you go? Have you not showered for 65 days, which is the amount of time that the crash survivors have been on the island? And, yes, its only been that long.
In other words, are you desperate for new episodes of Lost? Well, you still have two more weeks to wait for the season three premiere. Now, don't get down and run to the shower, because some nice people out there have posted all of the season three promos to YouTube.
There's not much to glean from the promos, other than there's plenty of running and shooting going on. There is a focus on Jack as he tries to escape from underneath the island. In the promo you'll be able to see after the jump, Jack makes it to an escape hatch, only to have something pretty unexpected, and wet, hit him. Not too sure what to make of that.

This is really odd. It's a promo for Lost from Channel 4 in England. I'm not sure quite what to make of it other than it seems to me that it has to be a promo for season one. I say that because A) it prominently features Boone and B) bits and pieces of Flight 815 are still strewn all over the shore. I just don't get why they needed such a weird ad for the show? What's wrong with the ones that air here in the States?
It has it's moments though. I thought it was funny when Locke and Walt were "conducting" the dance and the crazy organ music (I think that's what it's supposed to be). Plus, it was very telling that Jack and Sawyer were fighting over Kate. If all this sounds confusing, you can watch the video after the jump. Any other interpretations? Am I right in thinking this is an old promo?

IGN
has some pictures of the new
Lost figurines that will be available in September. They're made by McFarlane and feature characters in scenes from the first season. For instance,
Charlie's sitting on a log writing F-A-T-E on his fingers and
Jack appears to be stumbling out of the jungle, still in his suit. There's also a larger one with
the hatch, and 11-year old boys everywhere will be begging for a
Shannon doll for Christmas.
The dolls look pretty awesome, with a few exceptions. While the details are pretty astounding, the faces of two of the characters seem a little bit off.
Jack sort-of looks like Adam Sandler.
Kate isn't quite right, either.
Locke and
Hurley look pretty rad, though.
Unfortunately, there isn't a Sawyer doll. So Kate and Sawyer are never going to hook up!

Gee, you would think that there would be a finite amount of people on the island where Oceanic Flight 815 crash landed. Well, apparently not, as a new cast member will be added to the ever growing list of actors and actresses on ABC's Lost.
The newest to join is actress Elizabeth Mitchell. She will play a character named Juliet on the hit series. There's very little else known about the character (I'm surprised we were told her name); however, according to an article at Zap2it she may be a new love interest for Jack, played by Matthew Fox. Whether or not she'll be part of the crash survivors from the other side of the island still hasn't been revealed.
Mitchell, whose had previously worked on The Lyon's Den and ER, is the second cast member to be added to Lost in a week. ABC previously announced that Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro would become a regular next season as well.

If you feel like wasting some time at work today, might want to check out this Lost link. It brings you to an image of the island, and with some careful studying, you can pull out some hidden images. Once you crack all eight, you get treated to a deleted scene from early in season two. I'm assuming this is part of that whole Lost Experience thing that's been going on.
Of course, if you're lazy, I've listed the eight passwords after the jump along with a description of the deleted scene.

Bad Twin, the novel "by" Gary Troupe (it's an anagram of "purgatory," but the
Lost producers have already said that they're not in purgatory, damn it!), who was "on Oceanic Air Flight 815," is a hit.
Lost fans are
buying it in hopes of perhaps learning some more clues about what the hell is happening on the TV show. My guess is that it's just going to drive fans more crazy, though the family in the book is "Widmore."
Has anyone read it yet? Is it any good, as a novel, regardless of the
Lost tie-in? There's a rumor going around that Stephen King actually wrote it, but publishers and
Lost folks are keeping quiet.
