Lost: Lighthouse

I'll be taking the live-blog duties tonight. I'm already on pins and needles. Will DreadLocke kill Richard? Is he allowed to? Who's the blond kid with all the rules? How will Sawyer get back up the cliff? Is my name written on Jacob's graffiti ceiling? Doggone it, will Dana finally kill Kevin and spare us any more of that awful subplot!?!? (Oh, wait. Wrong show).

Lost: What Kate Does

Let the live-blog begin.

Did I tell you how happy I am that this is (apparently) a Kate episode? I didn't? Wha?

Compare

This is pretty interesting: a comparison of the Pilot and this season's Premiere.



Live-blog coming here in a bit (I think).

ApocaLost Now

No liveblog tonight (because, are you kidding me? It's TWO HOURS. My fingers would fall off). Plus we have friends from the College and Young Singles over to watch, and I wouldn't be much fun hunched over a laptop the whole time.

But feel free to leave your thoughts, theories, and impressions in the comments.

LOST IS BACK!!!

A Boob Without A Tube

My wife and I bought a new place about six months ago. We're way out in the country now. We're so far out that a local bumpkin we know told us, "Wow. You're further out in the country than we are."

If we wanted to (which we don't), we could link up with satellite TV. Other than that, though, our only option is to hook up our boob tube to the huge antenna on the side of our house. The coaxial cable, though, has been sliced and since I'm not much of a handyman, I've put off the project now for months upon months. Therefore, we've been without any network TV now for six months.

We do occasionally watch DVDs, but for the most part our TVs (we have two) go unused. It's refreshing to never hear the noise of television in our home. I don't think TV is evil (even though much of the content is evil), but I do think it makes a heck of a lot of noise. Not only that, those boxes are straight up ugly. I mean, unless it's a TV, who would want a big, black, dust-collecting rectangle in their living room? (We've got ours inside an armoire.)

With all that said, I'm going to have to figure out the coaxial thing because Lost is going to start up again in the spring. The Island doesn't accept any excuses.

Speaking of Lost, I still have yet to watch the last half of last season, so don't drop any spoilers in the comments!

Just Watched The Season Finale of Lost Again

Man, the acting in the finale is incredible. All of them - particularly the actors playing Sawyer, Ben, Juliet, and Kate (yes, I said Kate) really brought it.

Elizabeth Mitchell absolutely made that last scene work. And Josh Holloway was incredible in his grief.

I also thought the expressions on all of their faces when Jack dropped the nuke down the hole were priceless. Just waiting to die.

Sorry for the multiple Lost posts. But - man! - what a great finale!

Lost: The Incident

I haven't watched it yet (I hope to remedy that in the next few minutes).

Talk amongst yourselves.

Lost Theorizing - Where This Thing is Going

Lost: He's Our You

I won't be able to watch the show when it airs, so I won't be live-blogging it. But please use this thread to discuss the episode.

The episode title is one of the most intriguing I've seen from Lost.

Also - if any of the Thinklings want to jump on this post and live-blog the show, or even write your thoughts on the episode after viewing it, please feel free.



MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS THREAD ******

Lost: Namaste

Live-blogging the show tonight, after a tortuously long two week hiatus.

By the way, here's what Namaste means:

"Namaste", Namaskar or Namaskaram (Sanskrit: नमस्ते [nʌmʌsˈteː] from external sandhi between namaḥ and te) is a common spoken greeting or salutation in the Indian subcontinent. Taken literally, it means "I bow to you". The word is derived from Sanskrit (namas): to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and (te): "to you". Namaskar is considered a slightly more formal version than namaste but both express deep respect. It is commonly used in India and Nepal by Hindus, Jains and Buddhists, and many continue to use this outside the Indian subcontinent.
In other words, "hello!"

It's been a really good season so far, don't you think?

Lost: The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham

I'm watching the show right now, a bit delayed. Not really live-blogging this, just some observations.




********* MAJOR SPOILERS FOLLOW **************
I wonder how these two new characters (NewAnnaLucia and Caesar) are going to pan out? He lies to her about the double-barrel shotgun he has. Shades of Nikki and Paulo.

Locke just told Ilana (NewAnnaLucia) that he died. She looks at him like he grew a third eye and walks away. Which I can understand.

Tunisia is the "exit". Hence the polar bear the now deceased C.S. Lewis found there. I'm writing this part after having watched the whole show and now re-watching it with eldest daughter and daughter-who-just-got-her-braces-off-today (yay!) - Locke is lying in the Tunisian desert with a bone sticking out of his leg and he's in for a lot more punishment in this episode.

Widmore and Abaddon . . . are the good guys. R-i-i-i-g-h-t . . . (although, now that I've watched the show, I like Widmore more than Ben).

And flight 316 did crash on the island. So we have a bunch of new Lostaways to replace the ones that have been shot, speared, stabbed, killed by flaming arrows, etc.

"So, you didn't make it, eh?" - HUGO ROCKS!

"Everyone on the island is gonna die if I don't go back. And the answer is no." Kate is absolutely evil. And here she's lecturing Locke about what love is, and in general patronizing the crud out of him. What an awful person she is.

I'm kind of digging the Abaddon character. And right when I wrote that, he got blown away. Man! I'll bet it was Ben, since he was looking all evil in the earlier scene with WAAAAAAAAALLLLLTTTT!

Were in the hospital after Locke's horrible car accident, and here's Jack, evidently at the start of his glassy-eyed drug stupor days and the start of his glorious AwfulBeard. And those crazy Jack eyes too. Jack's right on the edge . . . at the passing on of Christian's "hi", Jack loses it.

Suicide note: I first thought that Locke was going to kill himself for a purpose, to get them to come back. But now I just think he did it because Jack depressed him so much (as did that heartless tart, Kate).

He's all set up to do it, and here comes Ben. Ben is "keeping everyone safe". Except for Abaddon, who he probably blew away.

Ben confirms the Abaddon whack. But I'm sure he had a good reason. Widmore and Ben are the yin and yang of this show. I'm still not sure if one's black and one's white, or if they are both just evil. There's "a war coming" in any event.

Is it just me, or is anyone else wondering if John even knows how to get back to the island? That's not been explained. I mean, what if they had all said "sure". What would they have done then?

But I digress. John feels like a failure, but he is saved by Ben's compassion and almost touching encouragement. Ben's good! Ben's good!

John just spilled the beans about Eloise Hawking. And . . . well I guess Ben is not so good after all.

Ben looks kind of remorseful. And he says he'll miss John (after getting the murder scene all ship-shape). I'm still on the fence as to whether he's evil or not (just kidding!)

Back to the island. Caesar is rifling through documents, etc, in a hatch, I guess, on the island.

Caesar's asking lots of questions. I'm sure having this formerly dead guy walking around who wasn't on the manifest is a bit much for them. Evidently a number of people were hurt in the crash, but hopefully no one was killed. This seems to have been a nicer plane crash than 815.

Frank took off in a canoe with some women or something. Good ol' Frank!

And there's Ben. He was hurt in the crash. Good.

On the previews they talk about "the moment you've been waiting for." Please tell me it's not the reveal of the current state of the Sawyer/Kate/Jack triangle.
