As promised, here's Part 2 of this week's installment of "Letters from the Flame." In yesterday's edition, I addressed a variety of topics, but today's entry focuses on the birthing and raising of children in the Lost world, a topic at the front and center of the majority of Lost action these days. Continue reading »

You guys really rocked the "Letters from the Flame" queries this week, I must say. You were all Vin Diesel this week: fast and furious with your questions and comments about Lost. Continue reading »

Yesterday, I looked at the first two flashbacks in "Cabin Fever" in search of clues we could derive about the character and purpose of John Locke within the universe that is Lost. Continue reading »

It's been a long weekend for yours truly. Just got back from a weekend with the Misfits of Sci-Fi, during which we not only caroused but also planned an entire summer's worth of content for that particular arm of Zap2It. Continue reading »

With the end of Season 4 of Lost rapidly approaching, we're on the verge of learning of this season's greatest mysteries: the origin of the Oceanic 6. Continue reading »

I'm going to try something wild, exciting, and new in tonight's entry: brevity. Continue reading »

I have a smattering of thoughts to get you into the work week on a Lost-centric tip. Think of it as part of your morning routine: shower, shave, blow dry your hair, make yourself some coffee, and read up on your favorite show. Continue reading »

Most of the posts here on the Lost blog are pretty much your standard "analyze something to death" garden variety posts. And those are fine and well and kick major booty and the like. Continue reading »

A quick thanks for all the positive feedback for yesterday's entry. You might assume I'm an aloof critic, but I've spent the better part of the day reenacting Sally Field's "You really like me!" speech in front of the monitor. Continue reading »

In the limited circles I travel, I'm known as the Lost guy. Most people might think this is kind of a negative thing, as if I don't have anything else to bring to the table other than an obsession with a television show. Continue reading »

Well, Lost fans, hope you had a great weekend digesting all the events from "The Shape of Things to Come." Continue reading »

We're totally list crazy this week on the Lost blog. And I don't mean grocery lists, either. Continue reading »

We're just 72 hours away from brand spankin' new Lost. If you're like me, you've been making the usual preparations. Turning off the cellphones. Stocking up on Cheetos and Red Bull. Continue reading »

Well, it's either been an extremely long or extremely short amount of time between new episodes of Lost, depending on your perspective. Around here? It's felt fairly short, actually. Continue reading »

Well, we're here in the final and most complicated iteration of "Those Left Behind," my week-long look into the possible fate of the Island inhabitants not lucky enough to be included in the exclusive club that is the Oceanic 6. Continue reading »

Well, it's good to know the majority of you don't wish a mass killing upon the characters of Lost. That much we learned in my last entry, and it's a jolly good thing to learn, indeed. Continue reading »

So for those of you joining late, we're looking at "Those Left Behind" this week on the Lost blog. We know six passengers of Oceanic 815 leave at some point, and we know that Ben is out and about, but what about everyone else? Continue reading »

Well, we're here in the last week of our three-week excursion into delving into reader-chosen topics on an in-depth basis. In the first week, we looked at the Island. Last week, we looked at The Others. And whatever shall we deal with on the Lost blog this week? Continue reading »

So we've come to the end of another four-part saga here on the Lost blog. I know, time flies when you're pulling theory from your rear end. Over the past few days, I've tried to look at The Others in as many ways as possible, trying above all else to find the motivation for this mysterious group. Continue reading »

In yesterday's look at The Others, I mentioned the frustration that comes from trying to pin down one sole modus operandi for the group. The Lostaways' inability to adequately defend themselves for so long stemmed from this lack of knowledge, and even by the end of Season 3 of Lost, it's not as if they'd arrived at some epiphany by which they suddenly understood the psychological makeup of their antagonists. Continue reading »

Let me say this up front as we delve into our three-part look into The Others: even more so than usual, what will follow is largely speculative. As such, you'll see a lot less of the usual huffery and/or puffery that accompanies my analysis of Lost. Continue reading »

Well, last week, we took a long hard look at the Island, and what a wonderful week it was no? Full of amazing and insightful commentary about the place Lost calls home, if I do say so myself. Continue reading »

So in this, the last edition of Island Times (sniff sniff), I promised you a look into the smoke monster, often known simply as Smokey, and known in my household as "Gerald." Continue reading »

In yesterday's edition of Island Times, I tried to identify the locus of the various ghosts, spirits, and apparitions seen on the Island throughout the run of Lost. Continue reading »

There's a lot of things to notice about the Island in which the majority of the action on Lost transpires. You might notice the lush vegetation, the crystal blue water, and oh yeah, you might notice a few ghosts, spirits, and apparitions as well. Continue reading »
