Hello LOSTIES! Yes, in 23 days time we will be transported BACK to the magical island of mysteries. WHEN and HOW in the Island timeline are still very big questions and I’m sure the immediate answers will not be very clear either! But, we do know one thing. After 18 more hours of LOST, it will be over and we will have QUESTIONS answered. All of them? Well, let’s be honest, Team Darlton
Well my fellow LOSTIES, we’ve seen Wednesday as the home for LOST for much of the show’s run. During the strike-ridden season, we moved to Thursdays in a cushy slot after Grey’s Anatomy. And now? LOST will travel to the most competitive day in the Winter/Spring months. Yes, it’s Ellen and Simon vs. Jacob and Jack! LOST moves to Tuesdays! The 3 hour premiere event will take place on
Hey LOSTIES, it’s been awhile since I posted something new so I thought I’d get in touch with everyone like me still trying to get through this hiatus and share some tidbits in case you haven’t been keeping track. I also watched V last night and wanted to share some quick thoughts on the Pilot. Enjoy!
LOST Stuff
Nothing new really to share, I’ve been tweeting and retweeting (follow me!)
Hey Losties! Did you catch FlashForward on Thursday night? It was awesome wasn’t it? Just thought I’d let you know that I have started a new blog and will also be recapping the episodes for this show. Click the link below and come on over to join in the discussion of this potentially great new show!

What did YOU see?
Hello Losties! Quick update here that could lead to plenty of speculation. Remember from the 2009 Comic-Con Panel when comedian Paul Scheer came out with his velvet painting of Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear and told us to check out his website http://www.damoncarltonandapolarbear.com/? Well, looks like our Executive Producers may have been providing us with a new outlet for some LOST teasters!
Greetings LOSTIES! Hope you all are enjoying the hiatus from LOST. Who am I kidding? It’s torture! Just think how we’ll feel in May 2010 when there is no more LOST at all to look forward to. It’ll be a sad day (but exciting nonetheless!) I have been keeping myself busy over the past couple months (wedding, new house, you name it!), but with us months away from the final season of LOST, it
Tonight’s Live Tweet was Special. Oh man, I’ve been waiting all day to type that sentence, I’ll just let it sit for a second.
No really, it was special, for that was the episode title ‘Special’, but it was also special for all the people that watched and tweeted and discussed. Thanks to all of you including: @batchoutlost @hawaii @joseph_lavalley @kilinahe @lostdogs10 @LOST_WFTB @nyakototo @Psifen @Tomwilson24 @ZachsMind
If you haven’t joined in, and you’re a LOST fan, mark a calendar for a Monday, Wednesday and Friday night. Check the schedule and grab an episode. It’s really a lot of fun to watch, and read and discuss the best show ever for an hour.
Special – the episode – was about Michael and Walt’s relationship. We’ve had hints dropped since the beginning that Mike and Walt are new to the whole father-son thing. Michael is a bit protective of Walt in some places, and in other places he’s been dismissive. John Locke has seem to taken a liking to Walt, but also has been helpful in getting Michael established as a father figure. For instance, while John found Walt’s dog Vincent using a whittled dog whistle, he let Michael take the credit. So it’s a strange triangle already at the beginning when Michael finds Locke teaching Walt how to throw one of those ‘now, Aaat’s a knife’ knives that Locke is always toting. Michael don’t like it and tell’s Locke to stay away.
In the backstory we meet Walt’s mother (who moonlight’s as a Forensic Pathologist at the Jeffersonian… tossing a Bones) who is almost as self-obsessed as Michael. Then we find out that she’s even more when she drop’s Michael like a rock and takes his boy Walt away to Amsterdam then to Sydney in her quest for her career. Michael also lost his parental rights to Susan (that’s Walt’s ma) and her also self-obsessed husband Brian. After Susan gets sick and dies (rather suddenly, was it because she ticked off Walt?) Brian decides to drop Walt off on Michael’s door step, well except he has Michael fly to Sydney and pick up Walt, so scratch the whole door step line. Anyways, that is how Michael, Walt, Vincent and their load of daddy issues got onto Oceanic Flight 815.
Great night for tweeting, lots of new faces in the crowd. We missed some of you regulars, but are sure you’ll be around another time. Lots of great comments, I even went over my tweet limit for the hour (didn’t even know there was a limit). Great to see everyone tweeting and carrying on a conversation. Now is the time to read through and summarize some thoughts and theories in the comments.

Is Claire Dead?
Over the course of seasons one through five of LOST we’ve watched the characters follow paths to enlightenment, revelation, depression, or their fatal end, though we do not yet know where each character’s development will take them.
We’ve most recently followed the Oceanic Six through their adventures with the Dharma Losties, but several other characters were not featured in season five of LOST, leaving Claire as the main cast member currently shrouded in the most mystery.
Claire began her journey by attempting to do what she felt was best for everyone. She planned to give up her fatherless baby for adoption, even at the warning of a fake psychic who warned Claire not to let her baby be “raised by another” (or “an Other,” as some theorized early in the series). She got on Oceanic flight 815 anyway, L.A.-bound in order to meet the family that was supposed to adopt her baby. Unfortunately, when the plane crashed on the Island, she was forced to have her baby there. But through the help of Charlie and other Losties she seemed to take a liking to being a mother. The downside was constantly having to protect her son from kidnappers, though she herself was eventually taken and left with no memory of the ordeal.
Throughout several seasons of worrying about her son Aaron’s safety — or “Turnip Head,” as Charlie lovingly called him — Claire constantly yelled “Moy baybee!” in her Australian accent. This gradually brought her character into the background, possibly because of other stories that needed to be told, or perhaps because the writers did not know what more to do with a mother and her son at that point, as we already had Michael screaming “WALLLT!!” for far too many episodes. Her arc picked up again once the Staff medical hatch was discovered alongside Kate and Rousseau, where she recovered memories from her kidnapping, which included Ethan injecting her with medicine that was supposed to help the baby live. She later escaped her kidnapping with the help of Rousseau’s daughter, Alex, after overhearing that the kidnappers would let her die during the delivery of the baby. (On a side note, the fact that Kate was present in the medical hatch with Claire and Rousseau, who were both mothers, could be seen as foreshadowing for Kate’s role as a mother in season 5).
Walkabout is the fourth hour of LOST’s opening season. For myself and many this episode was the hook that caught us up in the unfolding mystery of the island (or trapped us in Jacob’s net). The plot focuses on John Locke both on an island quest for wild boar (need to keep Hurley fed) and his pre-island life and what led up to him being on Oceanic flight 815.
We started the Live Tweet a little late, but it was well attended and had some great conversations.

I’m going to break this up by scenes, as I started watching the show at the beginning. Some people watched it first then joined the live tweet, so I’ll try and combine the threads into a true twee-cap along with the context of the show.
The opening frame was a classic Lost eye shot, this time it’s Locke’s eye, and we find him on the beach immediately after the crash. He’s a bit disoriented. I commented later, but it also applies to this scene: Continue reading »
