'Lost': A tale of two crashes

By Ryan McGee

March 16, 11:46 AM

Michaelemerson_lost_s4_240 In this past week's episode, "Ji Yeon," we learned from Captain Gault that those aboard the freighter believe that Benjamin Linus staged the crash of Oceanic 815 seen in "Confirmed Dead." Continue reading »

Finalewatch: 'Lost' messes with our heads again

By Zap2it

May 23, 09:39 PM

Well, the producers of Lost promised a season finale that would bring about a pretty big shift in the way we view the show, and you can't say that didn't happen. Now that it has, though, I don't know whether to be deeply frustrated (again), really, really confused (a distinct possibility) or just in awe of... Continue reading »

'Lost': About a boy

By Zap2it

May 16, 08:57 PM

I have never really counted myself among the Charlie haters out there in Lost fandom. He's hardly my favorite character on the series, but I certainly wasn't cheering when Desmond revealed his premonitions to Charlie a while back. And tonight's episode looked like it would be Charlie's big redemption -- his chance to die a noble... Continue reading »

Really, 'Lost'? I mean, really?

By Zap2it

May 09, 09:21 PM

I want to be in a good place about Wednesday's Lost, featuring as it did more fantastic two-handed work by Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn, a bit of a shocker at the end and a fair amount of new information about the island's history. But seriously -- how are we supposed to get around the Jacob... Continue reading »

'Lost': He had it coming

By Zap2it

May 02, 09:36 PM

Hey, people who make Lost: I'm sure you've heard this before, and I've alluded to it here in the past too, but it bears saying again -- keep those unconventional flachbacks coming, wontcha? Wednesday's episode diverged from the usual formula to offer up a look at just what the heck Locke has been up to in... Continue reading »

A pregnant question on 'Lost'

By Zap2it

April 25, 09:08 PM

Question for you, Lost fans: How much does a holy-crap final scene like the one we had Wednesday night make up for an otherwise fairly uninspired episode, like the one we had Wednesday night? I'm half-inclined to go along with Hurley and be shocked at the final utterance of the Woman Who Fell to Earth (and... Continue reading »

'Lost': Penny for your thoughts

By Zap2it

April 18, 09:32 PM

Everyone who had "Someone we've never seen before on Lost" in the who's-that-tangled-up-in-a-parachute pool, you're this week's big winners. Lost being the show that it is, it would have been far too easy for the end product of Desmond's latest vision to be his long-lost love, Penny. This despite Desmond's fervent belief that the someone who'd... Continue reading »

'Lost': Juliet is so not the sun

By Zap2it

April 11, 08:54 PM

And this, folks, is why we don't trust the Others. To misappropriate Shakespeare on that other famous Juliet, "Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye than twenty of their swords." I'm not really at all surprised that Juliet's presence in the crash survivors' camp on tonight's Lost is yet another scheme orchestrated by Ben, even... Continue reading »

Home is where the marshals are on 'Lost'

By Zap2it

April 04, 09:17 PM

You can't go home again. Everyone get that? To me, that was the big takeaway from this week's Lost, which is to say it wasn't a very big takeaway. It's a point that's been driven home repeatedly on the show, and in particular in recent episodes, so seeing it again in Kate's flashback and the parallel... Continue reading »

'Lost': Who the hell are you?

By Zap2it

March 28, 09:09 PM

I double-checked, and tonight's episode of Lost was not directed by George Lucas. It just felt that way a few times, with its "special edition"-like splicing in of newbies Nikki and Paolo into old footage. While that was a nice piece of editing, particularly in the crash scene, it has to be asked: Is this a... Continue reading »

'Lost': It's my Locke in a box

By Zap2it

March 22, 12:05 AM

It became fairly clear to me about midway through Wednesday's Lost just who "the man from Tallahassee" was, so that last scene didn't really shock me. What it made me do was think of Jennifer Garner whimpering "Mom?" at the end of season one of Alias, which I recall as a much more jaw-dropping revelation. Maybe... Continue reading »

'Lost': Claire Littleton Seagull

By Zap2it

March 14, 09:01 PM

Well now. This makes, by my count, three pretty decent episodes of Lost in a row. Will wonders not cease. The episode, "Par Avion," suffered from a bit of a disconnect between the beach-bound action involving Claire, Charlie and Desmond and the search party's efforts to navigate the Running Man-style barriers around Others Town. But after... Continue reading »

'Lost': 7-7 = Kaboom

By Zap2it

March 07, 09:04 PM

I was for the most part pretty pleased with what happened on this week's Lost, but there is one big nagging issue to deal with first. And that is this: When did John Locke become such a fool? It's not that he decided not to share his findings of what happens when you beat the computer... Continue reading »

'Lost': Hugo is an OK guy

By Zap2it

February 28, 08:31 PM

Let's make a pact, you and me and all the other Lost watchers out there. Let's agree, from now on, just to ignore ABC Promo Voiceover Guy for the rest of however long the show's on the air. Because he does a disservice to the show with his overzealous intonations. See, I really rather enjoyed Wednesday's... Continue reading »

'Lost': The Illustrated Man

By Zap2it

February 21, 08:53 PM

In so much as we now appear to have put a cap on the Alcatraz arc on Lost, I guess I'm OK with Wednesday's episode. It was a necessary step the writers had to take. Was it a really good episode, on the level of even last week's, which a lot of you really dug and... Continue reading »

'Lost': This is London

By Zap2it

February 14, 08:46 PM

So Lost finally got back to the island on Wednesday. Or an island, anyway -- in the show's longest flashback (or deja vu, or whatever you want to call it) ever, we spent most of our time with Desmond in England. Did Desmond's final line, which admittedly was pretty cool and which we'll discuss a bit... Continue reading »

The Tease: 'Lost' returns

By Zap2it

February 06, 03:35 PM

There was a good deal of griping -- much of it on target, and some of it in this space -- about the way Lost left things at the end of its first six episodes this season, and about the structure of the arc in general, with its focus on the Others as the expense of... Continue reading »

A 'Lost' stocking stuffer

By Zap2it

December 20, 03:28 PM

Hey, remember at the end of last season, when Lost introduced Desmond's long-lost love Penny Widmore (played by Sonya Walger, who despite similar coloring and features is not current regular Elizabeth Mitchell) and her very probably nefarious dad Charles (Alan Dale)? It looks like we may finally see them again once the series resumes in February.... Continue reading »

'Lost' moving: What say you?

By Zap2it

December 05, 04:09 PM

Couple more thoughts on ABC's decision to move Lost to 10 p.m. Wednesdays when it returns in February: First, this is probably the best move they can make to protect the show's audience. Criminal Minds was already eating away at the show's ratings, and to put it up against both that and American Idol might have... Continue reading »

'Lost': Yep, that's a cliffhanger

By Zap2it

November 08, 11:09 PM

I'm feeling a little bit used right now. The producers of Lost promised us a cliffhanger before the show went on its three-month-long hiatus, and to be fair, they gave us a cliffhanger, in a pretty pure sense of the word. Here's the thing, though. If this was a cliffhanger until, say, next week, I think... Continue reading »

'Lost': Gonna miss you, Eko

By Zap2it

November 01, 11:00 PM

I'm of two very separate minds about Lost this week. On the one hand, best episode of the season to date, with an illuminating flashback, some heavy island juju and a nice mix of the campers and the Others. On the other, though, Eko is dead. And because of that dramatic choice, the show has lost... Continue reading »

'Lost': Matters of the heart

By Zap2it

October 25, 10:46 PM

Wednesday's clue-heavy Lost offered up a lot to digest, with its tumors and submarines and other islands and possibly fake pacemakers. But here's what's sticking in my mind: Sawyer was a snitch. That's the biggest flashback revelation we've had in some time, and it took me somewhat aback. As Sawyer was working Javier for information, I... Continue reading »

'Lost': Amenable for coercion

By Zap2it

October 18, 10:42 PM

Boone and polar bears and sweat lodges. Oh my -- but did it really add up to a whole lot? I'm not sure it did. After two really strong episodes of Lost to start the season, the return of Locke and his fellow hatch-implosion survivors didn't really bring itself up to that level. Mostly, I blame... Continue reading »

'Lost': Good strategy, bad strategy

By Zap2it

October 11, 10:38 PM

When the Others boarded Desmond's boat, taking Sun and the land-bound Jin and Sayid by surprise on Lost Wednesday, it appeared they did so from land. But shouldn't it have occurred to Jin to let Sayid know they had a boat? I mean, it's been no more than a month than Jin, Sawyer and Michael were... Continue reading »

'Lost': Welcome to Others Town

By Zap2it

October 04, 10:42 PM

Let's just start at the beginning, shall we? Loved the opening shot and the way it echoed the start of Lost's first two seasons: the eye opening and the selection of a sugary pop tune preceding the intrusion of the plane-crash survivors into the lives of someone already on the island. Given all we were presented... Continue reading »

'Lost': Tinfoil hats on

By Zap2it

September 18, 02:07 PM

The season premiere of Lost is but 16 days away (16 -- that's one of the numbers!), and those of you who have been freeze-framing your season two DVDs and poring over Lost Experience message boards for the past three months will be happy to hear that ABC has released its official synopsis of the season...
