Everything you need to know about Season 4 (but were afraid to ask)
OK, kids, I know I promised both you (and me) that I'd take a day off from blogging before the Season 4 premiere of Lost, but that's simply not possible. Didn't help that I read this interview with Michael Emerson, either.

Cleaning house before Season 4
The upcoming season of Lost is going to be a marathon, not a sprint, for yours truly. After yesterday's analysis, I felt winded.

We've got work to do
I will confess, as rambling as I've been over the past few months here on the blog, it might pale in comparison to the verbiage I'll drop tonight.

The beginning of the beginning
I've spent the last few months trying to analyze some of the larger mysteries of Lost: looking at clues from past seasons, mobisodes, trailers, and alternate-reality games in order to provide the deepest, widest canvas possible as I, along with the rest of you, sought to spend the months between seasons in the least painful manner possible.

In bloom: Part 3
We're in the home stretch, people. You've either enjoyed or suffered through the first two installments of "Paradox Island," and you'll be rewarded today with the final installment. Today we'll look at the ontological paradox in which Benjamin Linus operates, and how that may explain every action he's ever taken on the show.

In bloom: Part 2
Yesterday I started to outline a way in which the actions of Benjamin Linus could be seen in a more rosy light. In other words, maybe the guy's got a legitimate reason for doing everything he's doing. Sure, he may be a little...extreme in his methods, but perchance, just possibly perchance, they are for more benevolent reasons than we've previously been led to believe.

In bloom: Part 1
I want to flesh out something that came up in yesterday's entry. Or rather, I want to expand upon it, since "fleshing it out" implies I have some grand answer to the topic at hand.

Just another manic Monday
You know, I'm trying. I'm really, really trying to understand the logic of what Lost keeps showing us in their weekly mobisode series "Missing Pieces."

Give and take
So as the weekend approaches, I want to drop a few news and notes on you to get you through the long weekend.

On the clock
Doug, a newcomer to this blog, wanted me to do a detailed compilation of...well, it seemed like everything I've written about here, as a way to allow him to understand what I talk about on this blog on a daily basis.

The matter at hand
As Lost moves from a story contained largely on a mysterious Island to one in which the Island serves as merely one key location within the narrative, I think it's key to zoom in on the Island itself for a bit, in order to locate its function within the show.

Missing Pieces Episode 10: Jack, Meet Ethan. Ethan? Jack.
Finally, after a few sub-bar weeks of "Missing Pieces," the series returns to compelling form in this week's installment, "Jack, Meet Ethan. Ethan? Jack." Luckily, the episode is less clunky the title, I assure you.

'Theory Thursday': Volume 6
Like many of you, I've been following the story in Find 815, because, well, it's not like I have much of a life or anything. If it's Lost-related, I'm there.

Over the edge
I think we could all you a little mental break after yesterday's overly analytical essay. I mean, that was dense even for me. And I'm pretty dense.

The devil is in the details
I want to start an ongoing discussion today, one concerning a word unveiled in the alternate reality game Find 815. A word with which I had no familiarity before last week, but has occupied my mind ever since encountering it.

Piece-ing it together
Normally, each Monday I recap and review the latest and greatest installment of "Missing Pieces," the ABC-produced series of Lost vignettes designed to quench our thirst for all things Lost ...

Lost Season 3 Blu-Ray Extras: Part 3
I've promised you the skinny on more Blu-Ray extras from Season 3 of Lost, and I'm here with a doozy: the tour of Benjamin Linus' bungalow.

Another dog-gone theory
The other day, I half-heartedly tossed out the notion that Walt's dog Vincent was psychic. That's quite the bold claim to throw out so flippantly, but hey, I'm unique like that.

ARG...and not in Jack Sparrow kinda way
In case you missed the link the other day, you owe it to yourself to check out the latest online Lost alternative reality game entitled "Find 815.

Missing Pieces Episode 8: Buried Secrets
Another year, another edition of "Missing Pieces." Course, on the Island, it's still 2004, not 2008, although I sincerely wonder of the people on the freighter are in 2004.
