The Lost Lowdown

It's a nice change from the usual more in-depth analysis. Like Stephen said, I wouldn't even bother rewatching it without the commentary.

all after life / dominant religious story lines can fuck off. so weak. This. I was a-okay with the characters on the show being religious and with the religious references but this ending is basically a big fuck-you to all atheists or science-oriented viewers (which I would imagine there are quite ...

According to Oxford dictionary, " Reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or may be thought to be " Say I was a character in the Lost universe (which is aware of the existence of an afterlife / purgatory) then I would have to say yes, the afterlife does ...

Guys,



;)

I'd like to hear what you had in mind for the final moments of Lost, respectively what you would 've preferred as an ending.

Unlike TheRadioTower , I'm not happy with this ending at all as an atheist, the whole idea of an afterlife, no matter which religion, is ridiculous to me but ok. I would 've preferred a more open-ended answer actually that encouraged at least speculation to a certain extend. At least I wouldn't have...

So true, we went from:
Ben
to Richard
to Dogen
to Jacob
and now to Jacob's mother (who I guess actually knew what the island / the light was).

Great episode, I liked the reveal about MiB trying to kill all the candidates instead of having to leave with them. It only makes sense considering he had to get Jacob out of the way as well. I guess I didn't think about that™.
I'm not gonna lie, the Sun & Jin scene made me tear up ;)

The thing is, I've accepted that it's a character show, I guess people had to after this statement by Carlton: " I think at its core that’s what it is. I mean we get asked a lot more questions about the mythology but at the core we’re really making a character show and the mythology is the icing on ...

This is not from the LLD but my favorite moment is still the improv on MrPodcast #2 (with Claude as the waiter and Justin as the oillionaire) if anyone remembers that one, heard it several times and it always cracks me up.

Even though Lost will always be at least one of my top3 TV shows, I've also become increasingly disappointed with the show, especially with recent reveals. I think the best example is still the blast door map. People went nuts over this thing back in the day, analyzing every detail, only to later fi...

"One paw up."

Instant classic ;)

Also, another recent moment: "Teethy Keamy"

Wow, I must be the one of the few that did not like the episode. Granted, there were some good aspects: Desmond and Charlie returning, Daniel (widmore) making a comeback; but on the whole, I felt nothing was really accomplished or resolved in this episode, just more irritating questions. The whole ...

I believe they will both get some kind of moment where they express remorse. With Sayid, it would just be repetetive though at this point, since we already saw him doing that in the Enter 77 -flashback (confessing that he tortured Sami). He has nothing to loose at this point. If there's the slighte...

I couldn't find the quote but I think Damon said at some point that an intact relationship would be slightly more interesting than a bucket of paint or something ;) Here's a comment from ComicCon '06 Carlton Cuse: Uh… you know that I think father issues are very much a part of the show. Dramatically...

I like the explanation but if they're actually gonna try to tie it in with the Valenzetti Equation and all the other stuff, it smells like a retcon to me.

So, I just listened to an episode of Lost Mythos and the guy is planing to get you on the Jay and Jack 30 hour marathon: "... if possible, we're gonna accomplish the impossible, which is to get Claude and Justin from the Lost Lowdown to come on the show ". They also call you " the funniest pair ", a...

You brought up Next Generation several times during the podcast. I'd like to propose something like a Top5 Next Gen episodes-podcast. :>

... I'm so clever...

I'm getting tired of these logos. Even Roger's aerosol can on his cleaning cart had it.

yep, the logos used to be a cool thing but at this point it's just so overused that it's totally demystified.

I wonder if Darlton built up the character like this on purpose just to make his death more unpredictable. Kinda ridiculous though how Ben just shot him right away. I'm pretty sure Caesar would 've listened to Locke with a shotgun pointed at him ;)

that terrible, terrible smoke monster scene. If you mean the cheesy looking CG I have to agree. Ben's conversation with "Alex" and the music made up for it though imo, definitely my favourite theme. Btw, did anyone actually consider for a second that smokey would 've killed Ben? Like Darlton are go...

...he will loose his childhood... well that certainly comes in handy when you have to deal with the rules of a set timeline. ;) just like Daniel's loss of memory, but the writers couldnt know about S5 plots back in season 2 so it's understandable I guess. Also, as I mentioned in the comments, I did...

someone hand me a buckett please. :>

Maybe that's why he said "I was born on this island" dun dun duuuun. ;)

I think the writers were just going for a cheap shocker at the end of the episode. It's not the first time someone survived a gunshot on the island ;) Dartlon mentioned on the latest podcast that Sayid is "challenging the rule of a non-changeable future" and that we have to see if "course correction...

I think he simply wanted to get an info out of Locke before he killed him. After Locke mentions Ms. Hawkins, Ben even asks him "Are you sure?" It makes perfect sense imo, it's not the first time Ben is freaking out over Locke being his potential successor. Good for him he only needs his corpse to in...

I dont really think Michael is trying to redeem himself for anyone. He even points out his true intention himself "I'm here to die." After Tom told him the island wouldnt let him die and that he still had work to do, Michael probably figured the only way he would be able to finally kill himself is b...

Definitely an option. Sun never said Jin was dead, just that she's missing him. However: If he's still alive on-island the plot of this ep. would even be more irrelevant than it already is. (having a plottwist for the sake of just having one; especially Jin's flashback)

I dont know about you but the "flashforward / flashback" twist wasnt a twist at all imo. Took me two things be 100% sure: -Sun starting to call for Jin under the influence of pain killers -A clear shot of Jin's out-dated cell phone These are pretty obvious hints on their own but the fact that they h...

Since I drive a long way to work, I have time to listen to basicly every Lost podcast there is (except GSPN and some others.) It gets quite repetitive though after the 3rd, 4th Lost podcast about the same episode, especially the recaps... Other than that: SModcast with Kevin James: http://quickstope...

I dunno, maybe everyone reads too much into that. My first thought was that his first payer offered him 3 million and he just raised it by 200k.

I guess Season 5 will have 19 episodes then... I wonder how Darlton will compress the 16 ep. storyline into 13 episodes though. Certainly not by just taking out some scenes. And at the pace the plots are currently going there's probably not much filler stuff left to take out.
