The Lost Lowdown

Vince

Another fine commentary podcast ('Raised By Another')! It was nice to hear Jen again. I, too, have had to develop my doppellisten for these commentaries. I agree with you guys that a lot of the long-standing, cool mysteries didn't pay off. In fact, I find myself having to pull out of a minor depress...

Vince

'Soiltary' commentary was awesome. 2 hours of discussion on a 6 year old episode that you already covered twice! It was like the old days :) Going back with the perspective of hindsight tempts me to take on the role of editor/re-writer to tie up loose ends and resolve conflicting information. C&J - ...

Vince

The Afterlife - this ain't The Olive Garden. HA!

Nice discussion, guys :)

Vince

When I saw a 1:47 running time ona :43 episode I was psyched! I love the post-episode conversation. Way better than wrapping it as soon as the ep's over. It feels like old-school Claude & Justin! It's interested to put these old ep's in perspective with The End. Thanks for connecting some new dots. ...

Vince

Hey Y'All. I'm still catching up on the commentary podcasts. Thanks, C&J, for providing episode audio. I'm kind of re-listening rather than rewatching. I figure I've seen them all enough to know what's happening. First thing I love from the commentary podcasts: the idea that Kate's alias of Annie is...

Vince

Hey C&J, It's great to hear you guys again! I just listened to the 'New Man in Charge' commentary. Good stuff. It was fun hearing Claude's real-time reaction along with Justin's hindsight reactions. I, like Claude, waited a long time after it came out to watch it. Ultimately, I thought it was pretty...

"I am not a number. I am a free man!"

Vince

OK, I finished it. Whew. Lemme catch my breath…OK. Great job, C&J! It was a great 34 hours. I’m still a little sad that you guys weren’t as happy with the finale as I was. There were plenty of moments that I was fired up to write a fervent response to this or that but we’ve got all the time in the w...

Vince

Sa-weet! Claude & Justin, you guys should take off the rest of the week and get some rest. Looking forward to 34 hours of Lowdown :) Thank you!!

Vince

OK, it took me three days to recover from the shock. That was two-and-a-half hours that should have been accompanied by a surgeon general's warning for risk of emotional overload. I rewatched for the first time and my interpretation was quite different from the first viewing. I think it's worth segr...

Vince

Mind you, this is from before the season started. So, here's how it turned out: 17.The DeGroots and/or Alvar Hanso. - NO. 16.Mikhail losing his eye. YES! 15.The construction of The Frozen Donkey Wheel. YES! 14.Annie parting from Ben. NO. 13.Claire and Aaron getting on the helicopter. NO (ish, see Re...

Vince

What if you did go the dentist..and it turned out to be Bernard!? And he was able to show you something better than Disneyland? Better than candy? Something you hadn't imagined?... For the record, this finale was not what I expected but I loved it. I've got more thoughts on this but they're coming C...

Vince

I finally finished the last 25 minutes of the 'What They Died For' podcast and was greatly amused at hearing your finale predictions about who would survive, what would happen to The Island, etc. myself knowing te answers. I thought of a good idea for a podcast, finale or otherwise. It would be fun ...

Vince

Double fun note: Eko's actor was offered a role in the final scene but he demanded 5 times the pay that he would receive and thus things fell through. I find this disappointing. Eko was great, maybe my favorite character (realistically a close second to Locke). He was on the Season 6 promo poster a...

Vince

I love the Lost Rewrites idea. Combines fan fiction with, uh, fan editing. Attempting to make Lost tighter, while filling in the gaps. It's great! Yes, 'fan editing' - perfect. GF and I were discussing pacing. She would change all seasons to 18 eps. There's a question of whether you'd 'fix' things ...

Vince

Yeah, as I indicated in the Unanswered Questions thread I think it would be a bunch of fun to pose theories on those remaining unanswered questions, the more ridiculous the better. :) (apologies if you guys did any of that in the last 50 minutes of the 'What They Died For' podcast - I still have to ...

Vince

It did some things I expected/hoped for. It didn't do other things I expected/hoped for. I loved it. I hope to be up at 2 AM for the LIVE poscast\ but we'll see... Do you remember? Perry? 420 Brownie? vickih? Corpses? Claude? Justin? There is no now here. :)

Vince

Claude, Justin, & Everyone - here we go! I am also very anxious. GF and I are wound up like crazy. We ate fried chicken (dedicated to Hurley), mangoes, tacos (per Kate), and we accidentally burned our fish biscuits (fate ala Juliet?). Anyway, looking forward tonight. Dreading tonight. Watching the r...

Vince

I'm not going to ask you to do more work than you already have, but if you could post an ordered list of all the unanswered questions going into the finale, that would make it easier to address those. I'd definitely like to do that. Happy to assist! I figured you guys will have plenty to talk about...

Vince

It's gotta be Juliet. Sawyer will show up at the concert pursuing Desmond & Kate. Sawyer and Juliet will meet and they'll agree to have coffee (going Dutch, of course). Tears will flow.

Vince

I feel pretty confident that Ben is/was conning Smokey. He wanted to kill Widmore for his own personal reasons and so he jumped at the chance. He then he spun that as "proof" to Smokey that he was on board with the plan. Ben is surviving. That moment on the porch chair, in my opinion, was Ben steeli...

Vince

Apologies for my tardiness - life gettin' in the way, y'know. I can hardly believe we're this close to the end, just like everybody else. Here's what I got for the last couple ep's: The Candidate (6x14) and Across the Sea (6x15) Questions Answered What’s the deal with “Adam & Eve” and the black & wh...

Vince

Nii-iice. :) I thought they'd pull that but, damn, they waited 'til late in the game. So - plus 2 hrs of retrospective and 1 hr of Jimmy Kimmel I'll be watching ABC for 5 1/2 hours on 5/23. (ps-The Candidate was frickin' awesome)

Vince

Claire's migratory bird (according to C&J): I got my own problems!

Vince

OK, it's a week off from LOST and there's only five hours left. What are we still waiting to see that we can't do without?

I agree w/ C&J that Christian is a must.
We have to see the convergence of the two realities.
And, for my third, I'll say Island volcano!

How 'bout y'all?

Vince

The only thing better than a bucket of chicken must be a bucket of sammiches! Right, Justin? ;)

You guys rock - thanks, C&J!!

After half a season with only a small handful of boring lines they then take away Sun's ability to speak English! However, for better or worse, I prefer Yunjin Kim's acting when it is in Korean. Her phrasing and cadence in English always feels stilted. Sun continues to be my least favorite surviving...

Ab Aeterno, 6x09 [Claude & Justin - thanks for keeping me on my toes the last couple podcasts :) ] Questions Answered Q:When was Richard at The Black Rock before?

Vince

That was sweet! After three seasons we finally get Richard Alpert's story!! Teaser: They played a little head game. Consider, they previously duped us re/ Sundown not being a Sun/Jin ep. So, even though 'Ab Aeternum' had Alpert written all over it I was ready for a fake-out. First:Previously On LOST...

Vince

So it took 'em that long to come up with a plausible explanation, huh? It works b/c (according to Lostpedia) Aaron was born on 11/1. My recollection was that Claire was past her due date. Whatever, GreGG CrappyexplaNations!

Throw-away line explanation -

Sayid: Thank God for backpack smugglers.

Vince

Yes, and they can do a crossover with Jin & Sayid from, ''No English' and The Bad Man,' this fall on ABC! It's the next Tuesday night line up ;)

Vince

Terry O'Quinn might have to get another Emmy. This character and performance are developing fascinatingly. He has the ability to come off as knowledgable, humble, forthright, genuine, vulnerable, compassionate, and consummate. He's really starting to seduce me!! In the same episode he shows weakness...

Vince

Does it seem to anyone else that Ilana is Naomi 2.0 (ie. badass female character who's in the know). I definitely thought Naomi was shortchanged. It feels like this Ilana character is what they had in mind when they introduced Naomi. Was there a reason the Naomi actress didn't do more? It just seems...

Vince

We might have to scrape our iPods for some TLLD resin until the fresh stuff gets here...

Vince

What I mean is I don't think we can take anything for granted. For Ben & Roger to leave The Island it would have had to have happened before The Incident (unless they survived a hydrogen bomb detonation and neglected to mention it). Therefore, changes in the flash-sideways exist pre-Incident. Theref...

Vince

I thought the whole flash-sideways was a little weak (PLEASE, no more Arzt!), partly cuz I don't particularly like the actress who plays Alex and the 'plot' was hackey and uninteresting. However, the closure to the Ben/Alex relationship in both "realities" was actually quite poignant and powerful. I...

Vince

Who's Shannon?

Just kidding. Yeah, I think because the ep. was so Nadia centric that's what they wanted us to think. Or maybe he meant Ilsa, the broom :D

Vince

I am hoping against the odds and will say that this actually will come to fruition. It's on my list of top things I wanna see this season. (c'mon, Darlton, don't disappoint...)

Vince

Sundown, 6x06 Questions Answered How does Dogen's diagnosis work? (6x03) It measures the personal balance of good and evil in a person. How did Sayid fail the tests? (6x03) His personal good/evil scale was tipped the wrong way. Is flash-sideways Sayid Iranian? (6x01) No - admitted prop error (boo)....
