Conclusions

We’ve made it. The final season will begin in just a few hours from now and will hopefully reveal the answers to all of our questions.

This event also raises some questions in my mind as to what this website should become when Lost reaches its final conclusion. Essentially, this site has one main feature: the Lost Countdown Timer. And in a few months, the time will run out.

The question is: What would you like the Countdown Timer to become when the show ends? I envision that it will live on as a customizable widget you can use to countdown to anything. What functionality would you like it to have? Where would you like to embed it?

Whatever the case may be I’ve been amazed by the popularity of this little widget and I hope it can continue to be used to save the world. Enjoy the final season!

Fringe

There is no doubt that many Lost fans tuned into the series premiere of Fringe tonight. The series was conceived and penned in part by the co-creator of Lost, J.J. Abrams, a man who continues to gather quite a fan base. JJ’s projects have been known for there intermingling of drama and sci-fi and Fringe certainly fits that mold. Shows such as Alias and Lost were designed primarily around storytelling and drama, with bits and pieces of science fiction elements sprinkled on top, with Fringe the science fiction, or science reality as it is presented in the context of the show, takes a much more important role.

Fringe gets its name from the term “fringe science” which is briefly defined in the show Read the rest of this entry »

Now With Extra “Friendly”

Sure, we could talk about how Sayid blew Michael’s cover, or how Ben led Alex into a trap to attempt to kill the people she loves most (because like Juliet, Alex belongs to him). But far more interesting than those things is Tom’s (aka Mr. Friendly’s) Latin lover Arturo. Read the rest of this entry »

Is Jin Dead?

When I see the date of death on the tombstone (September 22, 2004, the date of the crash of Oceanic 815) I immediately make the connection that Jin’s alleged death was just part of the story the Oceanic Six is telling the rest of the world. I envision that Jin is still on the island and for some reason was unable to join Sun on the journey back to civilization. Read the rest of this entry »

Writer’s Strike Breakthrough?

The Associated Press is reporting that there has been a breakthrough in talks between the Writer’s Guild of America and Hollywood studios that could bring a tentative agreement by the end of next week. The writer’s strike, which has been going on for 3 months, has put the fourth season of Lost in an uncertain position, with only 8 of the planned 16 episodes completed. If an agreement is reached as soon as this article speculates there is hope that season four can realize its planned story arc.

So… a cow, a skull and the number 6 walked into a promo…

“The Time has come,” the Walrus said, “to talk of many things:” – Through the Looking Glass (the one with Alice)

Happy Holidays to all!

With the onslaught of Season #4 trailers and promos, I feel as though it time to dissect what we have seen and, of course, theorize about its meaning. Our site seams to have been enjoying the Hiatus to the fullest, so I would also like to touch base on some of the other additions to the Lost Universe that have appeared during the interim. Thanks to my corporate training, I find it necessary to use an outline format to express any ideas, and for that I am sorry…

So, here goes: Read the rest of this entry »
