The only thing more interesting than a story set in hell is a story that might be set in hell. “Ab Aeterno” features not only a timeless narrative theme–the nature of evil–but also a classic literary device–ambiguity. Let’s face it: the writers of Lost intentionally leave things open to  interpretation [...]

“The art of choosing men is not nearly so difficult as the art of enabling the chosen to attain their full worth.”     -Napoleon Bonaparte
In the first scene of the flash sideways sequence, Ben delivers a lecture on the first exile of Napoleon, explaining that the French revolutionary was able to maintain his title of emperor, [...]

Hello, and welcome to…The Island…
No, in all seriousness though, last night’s episode was touching.
Michael Emerson pulled it off, he really did. I have never felt so sorry for…no wait, I feel sorry for Ben quite often, but never to the point of tears. Last night was like watching the Lighthouse scene where Jack is telling [...]

As of last night’s episode, the battle has finally begun, and the lines have clearly been drawn at long last. Claire, Sawyer, Sayid, Kate, and for the moment Jin have aligned themselves with the Man in Black, and Ilana is leading the Jacobians, including Sun, Miles, Frank, and Ben, presumably to soon meet up with [...]

Boy what an episode. Since school doesn’t open until 10:00 because of ice, and since I have only one class today because of that, I’m not going. That means I get to stay home and talk about LOST.
So last night we found out why Claire and Flocke were going to the temple. “If you don’t [...]

The producers acknowledged the significance of the Backgammon reference in the season 1 pilot quite a long time ago. And to fully understand this allegory we must look at its inspiration- So before we get back to LOST and Backgammon lets look at where this allusion came from- Don’t let me lose you we [...]

HOLY SHIT!
Best episode of the season so far…and that promo for next week? Frickin awesome!
Now, here is my theory of what is going to happen soon:
The one coming to the island is none other than…WIDMORE. Why? Well, you know, Ben-centric episodes coming soon, and he said “I’ll find it again.”
Flocke is the good guy…or they [...]

Okay, folks. Here’s a quick review of the literary allusions from last week, before we move on to tonight’s episode and its bookish Easter eggs.
It has been suggested that the two ladders we saw in “The Substitute” represent the two time lines or parallel realities. Will one of them break or become unstable? Will the [...]

Wow, talk about a good episode. Yeah, so for anyone who saw last nights’ episode, you will realize that there were NO Jackfaces, simply because there was no Jack. But man, that was one heck of an episode. This is gonna be a giant spoiler post so you have been warned.
Well, it has been confirmed [...]

Immediately after “The Incident” aired, several friends and I had a lengthy discussion about who, or what, Jacob and the Man in Black are. We considered the possibilities. On the one hand, Jacob has been portrayed as the “good guy,” while the Man in Black is the “bad guy.” We also considered the possibility that [...]

In “The Substitute” we finally get to see The List, a source for all of the speculation about a grand scheme. Presumably, Jacob has acted as the god of Fate for all of the chosen castaways. He spun their threads, measured them out, wove them together and, most likely, decides when each thread of life [...]

Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return. (Common utterance during the ritual ash-marking of Ash Wednesday; origin: Genesis 3:19)

Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Ezekiel 9:5
I’ve been thinking about the protective [...]

OH MY GOD! It snowed 3 inches last night so outside my house it looks like the season 5 finale of LOST.
Anyways, I haven’t gotten around to last weeks Jackface for one reason only…THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH JACK! Oh, I also hate Kate episodes.
So this week, you will probably have plenty more, and definitley episode [...]

As the Man in Black builds a following, the number of infected grows. But here’s the question: to catch the Sickness, do you need to be alive or dead?

Hello readers, I am not who you think I am.
I am a new co-blogger. I go by masat01. You will usually find me blogging at my site www.thejot.wordpress.com.
Anywho, I will be recapping each episode of LOST and Fringe in my own way, both here and my site. Not only that, but on this site only [...]

So far, in the flash sideways scenes, we have seen Claire going into labor with Kate at her side, Ethan Goodspeed monitoring the progress of mother and unborn child, John providing Jack with a more spiritual understanding of the universe, Kate running, tracking (Claire) and escaping “capture,” and Jack rescuing Charlie from near-death. What else [...]
