The Lost Lowdown

Vince

(emotional here at...) The End Before I get started, I want to say that I loved your finale live-stream commentary! Thank so much for hosting it. So very cool it coincided with your 15th anniversary. Fate? Coincidence? Etc? Also, per your advice, I did revisit the closing of original LLD for The End...

Vince

What They Died For The penultimate! Podcast Number #200!! 15 years!!! The Justin Intro for only the fourth time ever!!!! EPIC. I too am experiencing a degree of separation anxiety. Thank you for finding the words for it that I couldn't. Definitely anticipating going through the stages of grief. I t...

Vince

Holy Smoke Monster! It's been almost four whole months since your Across the Sea cast!! Did that episode break you two again?! I'm not complaining. I know the final stretch is daunting and, as I've said, I'm gonna be super-sad when it's over. So, take yer time :) Just dropping you guys a note let yo...

Vince

Across the Sea Home stretch :o I appreciate you pointing out that Mother, intentionally or unintentionally, may have set up Jacob and Man in Black to be a tandem team to watch the Island, locked in eternal struggle. I think you compared it to the Hatch tandem (specifically Kelvin and Desmond), and ...

Vince

The Candidate I really liked hearing your reactions to old, contemporary podcasts. I'd be happy to hear more of that as we head down the home stretch (or a whole new podcast series :p ). And YES, you SHOULD write the reboot! I've been saying this for years. There is no one more knowledgable of the ...

Vince

OMG, you guys, this new & unrelenting pace of LLD releases, I can barely keep up! It hearkens The End, which makes me sad (like with a Giacchino violin) but you were really on a roll these three eps. At this point, I think we can all agree, and unequivocally declare & attest, that you two have solve...

Vince

The Package (on a serious note first, with the country burning and wrestling with its demons, it's hard to get in the spirit to write this, but I've been procrastinating on getting you my podcast thoughts so I'm doing it now, still my faith in the arc of the moral universe bending toward justice ab...

Vince

Dr. Linus More Dr. Justin, please!! (you could switch it up once in a while to Dr. Candle, or whatever ;) ) ANYway.. I'm intrigued by your speculation that the Young Jacob we encounter was time traveling. If both J & MIB had time travel experience (physical ala 70's Dharma Losties &/or consciousnes...

Vince

Wow, man - this break-neck LLD release schedule has me thrown for a loop ;) (Hope y'all are well) The Substitute Claude: The show should be a lot worse than it is, given all the characters and major plot lines. :D My best speculation re/ Jacob having separate/distinct cave v. lighthouse to track pee...

Vince

LA X I'm feeling bittersweet about the beginning of the end - TLLD Season 6 Commentary! Good times. I was OK w/ the final season on first (and only) watch. Yes, the Flash Sideways should have meant more. Still, even if the story didn't make a ton of sense it was decent Island-mythology-candy. I thi...

Vince

The Incident I'm so proud of you guys for getting through this one. I think it's (mostly) downhill from here! RIP - The Cabin! Thanks for reminding us of the mysterious, 'Help me,' presumably said by Man in Black. I still have no idea what to make of that. They really needed to give us a little bit...

Vince

Follow the Leader As basic as it may be, I think the best thing we got from the 70's thread was confirmation that pushing the button - the Big Mystery of Season 2 - released electromagnetic energy as a means of preventing an(other) Incident. You got me wondering - are Jacob's powers the result of h...

Vince

(LOST yet again! finally getting caught up! I swear these two pods showed up in my feed in July, but with June dates on 'em - I think there's a barrier-style time delay at play...anyway..) Some Like it Hoth The DeGroots could have been such an interesting characters in the 70's Dharma story. It feel...

Vince

Dead is Dead (aka We're Just Fuckin' With Ya at This Point..maybe the show was just one massive trolling...) Yes, LLD listening will be passed down through the generations and I will totes Patreon yuz to get 'Tangents Only' content ;) And I'll go one step beyond - the Prophecy says you guys will be...

Vince

Whatever Happened, Happened Great to hear you guys again! Always delighted to listen to you work at so many of Justin's LOST Mind Splinters. Multiple baby theories this pod! Geez, you guys just really love babies.. First, that the Smoke Monster could have long-conned everyone by impersonating baby ...

Vince

136 days...so long without LLD that I think I'm hallucinating...for a while, I thought the Care Bears were here... ;)

Vince

...it's been 101 days we've been stranded on this island of no LLD :( ...

Vince

Suspiria! OMG! An amazing confluence of circumstances :) Background - In addition to LOST I'm a huge horror fan, and this flick was a big deal for me because I love (most) Argento AND I saw the potential for a..not "better" but..alternatively good - MODERN telling of this one! The marquee theater c...

Vince

He's Our You There was a brief moment at the start of the podcast where it seemed Claude had dropped from the call and it really took me back to the old days of Justin reading the news when that would happen regularly :) The more think about it, the more this recurring theme of characters being wro...

Vince

(thanks and) Namaste (and good luck) I like your theory that Radzinski was actually killed by Kelvin - makes sense, as annoying as they played him & fits w/ Kelvin's personality pretty well. "Widmore was a bad character that couldn't be changed!" :D You two have got some really good ideas on how muc...

Vince

LaFleur I actually synced up w/ you this time! Fun stuff :) I appreciate you coining the term 'Walting' as a verb, in reference to MIB appearing where he shouldn't be. We finally get to The Hootenanny! I hope we all enjoyed our Pearl Station brownies ;) I know she's dead now, but I would still like...

Vince

316 A recent road trip finally afforded me the time to catch up w/ you guys and I really enjoyed these last two. I'm really liking the idea that Eloise could have been manipulated by MIB - makes a lot of sense. It even inspired the idea that MIB could have been part of the drama that led to Eloise ...

Vince

This Place Is Death Yes, Jin should totally have told Rousseau that her baby must not be raised by another/an-other! Seriously, though, I do like the idea that Jin saved her from being claimed, thus changing the course of events, for the better, for the Losties when they arrived years later. I forg...

Vince

YES! You can fix it!! Not just the finale, either, but the whole series. Then you can sell it to ABC for the reboot... :D :D :D

Vince

The Little Prince I do really appreciate the time travel callbacks in this one - Locke seeing the Hatch light, Sawyer witnessing Aaron's birth, etc. Very good call on the similarity between that scene and the Twin Peaks version w/ Coop, Laura, & James. Claude: The best trick the devil ever pulled w...

Vince

Jughead More silly Desmond accents, please! I would totally watch a Kelvin & Radzinski sitcom. The volcano was such a missed opportunity - Chekhov would disapprove. Nice work identifying Dogen's machine as a Scientology E Meter :D (that actor showed up on Westworld recently) Churches, churches, chu...

Vince

The Lie Not much to say about this one... Hot Pocket - another pocket! Is there any chance that Charlotte's memory loss issues are an indication of what caused/causes those of Daniel? Ben's off-Island network is pretty ridiculous. It would have been nice if the Ana Lucia cameo had more significance...

Vince

Because You Left Season 5 - hold on tight cuz we're heading into the Choo Choo Tunnel! Definitely interesting to be reminded that it's here that Richard prompts Locke to inadvertently create the Loophole. I'm sure it's been brought up before, but is there a chance that we can explain Desmond's Clai...

Vince

There's No Place Like Home Two years to do Season 4?! Wow. (don't get me wrong - I'm sooo glad you did TP :D :D :D) When you inevitably write the perfect reboot you should def use the idea that Locke time travels to be Jack's dad. And I'm liking this idea - it would have been hilarious if it was sl...

Vince

Cabin Fever Best theory from you guys right out of the gate: Smokey was the submarine :D Logically, that fits right in with Inverse Jesus, since Jesus was never a submarine (as far as we know). On listening to your discussion of the Cabin confusion, it occurred to me that Locke really needed Charli...

Vince

Something Nice Back Home Per Justin, "All the shit is hitting the fan!" Interesting theory you guys had that MIB could be the great ancestor of all the characters with special powers. That would also raise the question of how the Island draws them back... I always wished they had explored different...

Vince

Lynch's beautiful gift of a glorious art-mystery that will last our whole lives (and beyond) :D

Vince

The Shape of Things to Come I finally, finally got around to listening to this one! (and now anxiously looking forward to the next, but first...) This is still a fun episode, even with foreknowledge of eventual loose ends. When the hotel desk clerk asks Ben if he's visited before, does his hesitati...

Vince

Hey Guys - Just checking in after first couple listening sessions - loving the discussion! Glad to hear other voices as giddy as I am about this amazing phenomenon 26 years coming!!! My gf is a huge old-school TP fan, too :) We've watched each Part twice, now, but listening to you, I'm clearer on a ...

Vince

Hell-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Vince

OK, guys. I just finished watching episode 2 of The Return and I am absolutely loving it! The story, the pacing, the imagery, the performances, the sound design - all impeccable. Please, please, please podcast!!!!

Vince

Meet Kevin Johnson Great to hear you guys again! Yes, all the Dreamers die :( :D !! I do like the idea, though, that some of the visions characters see are just in their own mind. That leaves it open to whether it's Smokey using his dream/vision "powers" or whether it's more run-of-the-mill interna...

Vince

missing you guys...

Vince

Ji Yeon Little known fact - Ji Yeon is the Korean equivalent of Justin ;) ...ala Justin, The Transliterator! Thank you - I too love that word :) I've found it very practical when transliterating 'fugghedaboudit,' 's'a'ight,' & most importantly - 'whaddayagonnado' :D I like your theory of Smokey's p...

Vince

(: (: (:

!!! TPLD '17 !!!

that gum you like is going to come back in style...it is happening again...

:) :) :)

Vince

(It feels weird over here in another thread!) Apparently it's been 5 years since I (or anyone) made a suggestion so I guess it's time. Y'all been watchin' Westworld? Cool sci-fi w/ good mystery elements. Would love to hear you guys talk about it :)

ps. Breaking Bad was good

Vince

Eggtown (the greatest mystery of LOST, continued...) I like Locke's grenade in Miles' mouth and expansion of The Lie (though, of course, it's not nearly as intriguining on subsequent watches). Very important question - who was watching Xanadu?! Seems like it could have been Juliet, although I'd pre...

Vince

Hey C, J, & Countless Fans! Wow, what a drop of four LLD's!!!! :) Taking 'em a bit at a time..OK... The Economist Mostly cuz I haven't heard it posed, I'm gonna throw out there that Ben is The Economist per his purported manipulative acumen, punctuated at the end of the ep..for the first time I imag...

Vince

Confirmed Dead The long awaited sequel to 'Confirmed Horse' :D I think that's supposed to be our clue that the picture frames were rearranged by Kate's horse. Glad to finally have the Freighties! ...though Miles' ham-scripted & delivered explanation of Naomi's "my sister" code - UGH! (btw - love Ke...

Vince

The Beginning of the End Wow, the second, shorter half of the series commentary is underway - truly the beginning of the end... LOST solved yet again, by Claude & Justin! (re Smokey mobility & telekinesis) Justin: "I hate it when things seem to make sense." Claude: "I swear, this commentary series ...

Vince

10th ANNIVERSARY PODCAST Glad you two are back! Happy 10 years, Claude & Justin! I'm pullin' for you guys to make it to the one month's worth of podcasts. More Game of Thrones discussion, please :D How come we've never thought of it before - a fan podcast about LLD?! - genius. I would like to forma...

Vince

Hmmm, 10 ideas for the 10th anniversary show... It was cool when Justin revisited old podcasts to reflect on (or ridicule) old theories - maybe something like that Concisely summarizing the current theories/thinking on big picture concepts such as 'What's the deal with the cabin?' and 'What's the de...

Vince

It's now Day 116 that we've been stranded on this island of no LLD :( ...that's officially longer than the Oceanic 6 were stranded on LOST Island! ;)

Vince

LOST: The Missing Pieces I hadn't even thought of these in forever. Nice pull. I'm so glad we finally got to see the Sun & Michael scene of Ji Yeon's conception - puts that mystery to bed ;) Interesting theory that Hanso could have mentored Widmore. Wasn't it suggested at some point that Widmore In...
