UNLOCKING LOCKE? BETTER GET A BIGGER KEY. NOTE: Before “Walkabout,” John Locke is simply Mr. Locke. We don’t know his first name is John until Kate says it out loud (after Michael gets knicked by the boar). Raise yer hand if you know what the CONSTANTS are for John/Locke. That’s right! John’s constant is the [...]

Whoever’s in the CHURCH, is the “real” lostie, yes? That is, after each of them has [...]

Hi LOST fans! I am so sorry for the delay in posting, but I was totally under the weather for the past few weeks. This put a crimp in my notes and observations pertaining to the re-watch. Even though I didn’t post additional notes for the past three episodes I want you to have [...]

After 6 hours of re-watching LOST it’s pretty apparent that we’re dealing with people that brought more baggage on board flight Oceanic 815 than just their luggage. (or a casket in Jack Shepard’s case.) The characters of LOST, all amazingly attractive on the outside, are all a bit dark and twisty on the inside. The [...]

“WE’RE NOT ON AN ISLAND. WE NEVER WERE!” After Jack “finds” the caves, our island “story” has finally begun. Leading up to his point in Season 1, we’ve been given lots and lots of clues about how the island works. So here’s the question: If Richard is right, and this isn’t an island ["Ab Aeterno"], [...]

THE ART OF FLIRTING Let’s take time away from rewatching “House of the Rising Sun” to point out one of Team LOST’s SNEAKIEST tricks: hiding significant clues/evidence in random dialog. Case in point: Jack’s and Kate’s “verbal copulation.” Hints of a solid comradeship between the two are already in place from the pilot, but this is the [...]
