I posted my reaction to “The End” on my blog Catherine, Caffeinated today and below is the full text. Contains spoilers, but I’m guessing – hoping – everyone has seen it by now, and joined the ‘How will I cope?’ party…
My finale-watching didn’t go so well first time round. I was, ahem, watching online as it aired on the East Coast of the United States, or from 2am on Monday morning. (Don’t try this at home, kids, because it’s technically illegal.) One hour in, the feed got cut by The Man and so I decided to have a short nap and watch it instead on Sky1 at five, which I did, even though a lack of sleep and an overnight diet of Doritos, sour cream dip, Coke (a-Cola) and coffee didn’t put me in the best Lost-watching mood, and neither did having to watch the first hour twice.
But the cherry on top of my bad circumstances cake was my Sky Guide telling me Lost was on until 7.30am, when in fact it ended at 7.10. This meant that as Jack learned the true nature of the Sideways World from his father – a scene I can’t even type about, as my tears would short-circuit my Mac – I thought we’d another 20 minutes of Lost love ahead. As the title flashed up with its trademark beat, I nearly choked on my toast. (I was onto toast by then; it was breakfast time.) What? That’s it? That was the end? Continue reading »
These few weeks before the LOST Finale have been CHOCK full of interesting Easter Eggs. However, I’m happy to report that after teasing us for over a year, CHUCK has finally come through with the Mother Of All Easter Eggs.
Keep in mind that AMY’S entire theory of LOST assumes:
- NOTHING on LOST takes place in a physical world.
- This world is like a directed dream state, and it can be manipulated.
- The flashes — back, forward, sideways (to a certain extent) — our losties experience work like repressed memories for them (they are subliminal experiences recorded in the subliminal mind).
- The flashes do NOT take place in the past or the future. Events in the flashes work like they do for Desmond’s flashes in “The Constant.” The scenes as presented on the show ARE the timeline of events for our LOSTIES.
OH, CHUCK IT

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.
