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 [...]

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 [...]

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?

That’s right- Our beloved Jin will be reprising the role of Chin Ho Kelly in the upcoming remake.
Perhaps Kim wanted to stay in Hawaii close to his burger joint… The reboot will be brought to us by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci from Fringe Fame and also from CSI NY.
It is too soon to speculate [...]

This is what happens when you make a bunch of people who dont watch Lost try to understand without watching every episode!!

The producers acknowledged the significance of the Backgammon reference in the season 1 pilot…
So ponder this…. In the first few seasons we had several references to Alice and Wonderland….
In “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” the story was meant to symbolize a game of cards, different scenes signifying different cards in a deck….
In “Through the looking glass” [...]

Sayid wakes up from his strange encounter in the murky water quite confused….. I thought off the bat that it was Jacob who needed a vessel…. However the fact that Sayid seemed confused argues against that. In this sneak peek of episode 3 some light is shed
… watch the official trailer for ep. 3 which [...]

As Hurley takes charge, at the behest of Jacob, we find ourselves on a trek to the temple. Lost fans have waited a long time for a glimpse of this oft talked about place. And lo and behold, it’s a pyramid. The Egyptian ties are not subtle, Hieroglyphics in the hatch [...]

The season premier of LOST started us off with a bang and this season is unlikely to slow down. Over the course of two hours LOST fans were treated to tons of answers but in the end were still left wondering “What the heck is going on”?
As season 6 fades in [...]

Watch the important Backgammon clip from season 1 for clues to season 6

SPOILER FREE:
And today is the day that LOST fans will finally get their long overdue fix. Since last season’s cliff hanger in which Juliet apparently blows up a bomb to hopefully stop the incident from occurring…
According to Daniel Faraday, if the incident never happens, they will never have to build the hatch to contain the [...]

That’s right the first 4 minutes of Lost season 6 is available for the world to see online…
Lost producers actually staged a sweepstakes in which winners who answered six random questions correctly about the show won a “Message in a bottle” which was a USB stick in the shape of Desmond’s fail-safe key…
The winners today [...]
