We’ve been plotting and scheming like a bespeckled band geek trapped in a hippie commune on an isolated crazy island. But we felt bad about keeping you in the dark, so we’re leaking out some deets about the after The End, rewind, and watch from the beginning. We’re gonna add to our little family to help keep the LOST love bonfires going after we say a tearful good bye to the final episode.
We’re gonna let you all into the circle of trust, but no worries, tell everyone you can about these bullet points that are taking shape from our secret discussions in Horace’s living room:
- Schedule: Starting the week after Memorial Day in the United States (that’s June 1st for the rest of the world.) The plan is one episode a week, which should keep the LOST flame alive for at bit over two years.
- Times: We’ve nailed down two times:
- 6 PM Tuesday PDT (that’s West Coast US time) lead by Erin (@erinava) with some assistance from Erin (@Loster21).
- 10 AM Saturday CDT (that’s Dallas time) lead to begin with by me (@LOST_BOSS <- nickname subject to change.
) and possibly @CutePoison10. This time is hopefully good for UKers and other Europeans that are usually asleep for our normal re-watches.
- TBD/TBA – We are accepting applications for other leaders for other times. during the week.

It’s getting to be that time again, the ending of LOST is approaching, and I can already tell there is gonna be some poor addicted fans that will be shivering with withdrawal over the lack of new episodes. The only proven treatment for these poor souls is a bit of the hair of the dog. Yes, I’m talking rewatch, I’m taking… We’re gonna have to watch that again!
So drawing on my vast experience as the crazy leader of Twitter’s #WFTB craze, I’ve signed up for the madness again. But, also with the experience as leader of the crazy #WFTB on Twitter, I’m gonna need some help. So if you’re interested in helping plan, lead, watch, what not, sign up in the comments below.
Here’s a list of things we’ll need to plan.
- Schedule – no new season so we can stretch this out as long as there is interest. One episode a week sounds good to me.
- Times – since LOST watching is a world wide fad, we can have re-watches scheduled at different times so people in the UK don’t have to get up at 3AM to re-watch. A couple of different times a week sounds good to me.
- Leaders – someone needs to promote and lead a time slot. I can’t commit to being a regular leader (contractual obligations as father and head of the household I live in that have just about fired me for twitter addiction, after thrice weekly WFTB sessions over the summer, fall and autumn then this whole lostblog thang), so this is where I’ll need some help.
- Promotion – we have this handy blog here, and a few people with a few thousand followers to help spread the word.
- Good Attitude – LOST is fun, so be bright and shiny.

Only we won’t do it on Twitter. Which is on the one hand, sad. On the other hand supercool.
We can’t do a episode re-watch on Wednesday on Twitter, because non-US tweeps would tar and feather us for spoiling them when they haven’t been able to see a broadcast. So we’ll have to move it off twitter.
The supercool part is we’ll be hosting it in our own chatroom. You can access it one of two ways, right from the blog at http://lostblog.com/lostchat or from the chatroll site at http://chatroll.com/lostblog
The chat room will also be open for ad-hoc meet-ups to talk lost topics or any topics in a more real-time manner than twitter.
The time for the re-watches will be 9PM CST on Wednesday’s. So keep a copy of the previous night’s episode queued on your DVR. I’m not sure how fast the previous night’s episodes will make it on Hulu, ABC.com or iTunes, but those might be quick enough.
Looking forward to more live re-watching goodness.
This is the last week for the haitus long Twitter based re-watch project started here at LOSTblog.com back in May. Over the past eight months, a group of “die-hard, hard-core, annoying” LOST fans have been re-watching all the episodes of LOST since the very beginning. We’ve used the hashtag #WFTB which stands for “Watching From The Beginning” and have annoyed all of our followers with endless twitterings about Locke/Flocke, Good/Bad, Black/White, AnaLucia Hate/Love.
It’s been entertaining, and speaking personally, has made the haitus sort of fly by. (My wife and kids might tell you differently with me hogging the HDTV Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. But Monday night we hit our 100th episode of LOST with The Variable. And Friday will be a 2 hour long Season 5 Finale session for The Incident. Then WFTB will be over.
So, with the end of it looming, the rest of the tweeps have forced my hand (okay it was my idea, sorta) and we will be having weekly re-watches, named approriately “We Re-Watch Wednesdays” (#WRWW). Starting the first Wednesday at 9PM CST we will continue to annoy and bother all our non-LOST fan followers with a re-hash of the previous night’s episodes. No DVDs this time, so we’ll be depending on our DVRs (or alternative episodes) to feed our eyes and ears, as our fingers type madly away.
Sound interesting? Sound off in the comments if your interested, yet, confused.

I had to miss this tweet-up because of a prior commitment, but I’m really glad to see the WFTB just keeps on rolling. And thanks to y’all I’m not feeling all alone on a beach hauling rocks in vain. You tweeps just keep on keeping on. This is the only Rose & Bernard flashback we get, I think. I think their arc is fairly well wrapped up in the final scene of this episode, then in the Season 5 finale where they’re at peace at living together on the island. To them it didn’t matter that they were no longer in the right time, they were in the place, and that was all that mattered. While Jack and Kate.. well they still have some work to do.

Forgive me internets for I have sinned, it has been over a week since my last transcript. As penance, I’ll not be engaging in navel gazing or presumptuous descriptions, and mere post the transcripts and promise to better in the future. Hopefully, Jacob will understand and not toss me off a cliff like he did to poor Dave.
