Lost – ‘There’s No Place Like Home Parts 2 & 3′ – 4.13 & 4.14
There’s no place like home. (Click) There’s no place like home. (Click) There’s no place like home. (Click).
Damn, I’m still here… and looking awfully ridiculous in these ruby red slippers.
Well, that does it. Another season done. Another series of puzzles to ponder in the agonizing nine-month wait until Season 5 starts up. When next we meet again, we’ll have turned the page to 2009. A new President will be in office. Gas prices will finally peak at $48.15 a gallon, up significantly from the previous high of $16.23 that afflicted at least 42 of our continental United States. And the Red Sox will have won their 3rd World Championship in Five Years (you know they’re just doing it for Jack and his Dad).
But, we’ve been through this before. We had the long layover last year followed by t... Continue reading »
Lost – ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ – 4.12
This time of year is always bittersweet. As our favorite shows come to an end, we look ahead to the summer and see nothing but a vacant wasteland – the color of television tuned to a dead channel. At the same token, we see bright sunny days meaning we can actually get our collective asses off the couch and actually enjoy some fresh air for a change.
And the loss of Lost means I don’t have to feel the pressure of my fierce editors (that would be you, you demanding Constant Readers) bellowing at me to produce this week’s installment of my weekly observations the moment the clock hits 11:00 p.m. EST Thursday eve.
That said, we know that when the last moment ticks off the two hour season finale scheduled to air on Thursday May 29th that unlike most other shows, we have a long wait ahead of us. May 29th... Continue reading »
Lost – ‘Cabin Fever’ – 4.11
I think I’m coming down with Cabin Fever.
It’s episodes like last night mythology heavy installment, Cabin Fever, that prove how intricately plotted and dramatically dense this show can be. This is why I watch the show. While getting answers can be rewarding, sometimes it’s more fun to keep tunneling down the rabbit’s hole. As long as you feel faith in the show’s creators to keep the narrative on track, it can be deliriously invigorating to be plopped in the midst of mystery with scant clues to go on and try to work your way back to some semblance of a clue. That’s why I got hooked on Twin Peaks two decades ago and why I spent the better part of the 90’s paging through The X-Files.
And it’s why I grooved on every little morsel and clue doled out in last night’s Locke-centric Cabin Fever... Continue reading »
Lost – ‘Something Nice Back Home’ – 4.10
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have mastered the pacing on this show. After every key mythology episode (see The Constant or last week’s The Shape of Things to Come) they’ll slow things down a spell and allow the characters to grow a little before offering up the next brain melting info dump.
The Jack-centric Something Nice Back Home serves as a good bridge between last week’s game-shaping episode and the final stretch to the season finale that begins with next week’s Jacob/Locke piece, Cabin Fever that leads into the three part season finale – There’s No Place Like Home. In addition, this episode answered a few lingering questions and set the table for things to come.
One last thing before I hit the standard bullet points. I found this episode (like this season) was drenched ... Continue reading »
I’m So Lost – Week 1
And so begins this new series, I’m SOOOOOOOO Lost, dedicated to ticking off the big mysteries behind our favorite show. Ya’ really gotta’ hand the Internet its props. Do you think Alf garnered such fanboy enthusiasm back in the day?
“So, uhhhh, who do you think ate the cat? Me, I say it’s either Gordon Chumway or… Willie!!!”
Anyway, as I mentioned in my introductory post, this series will run for the next four Fridays (this one included) – basically serving as a little appetizer before the series resumes proper for its final run through May sweeps on April 24th. Over the course of the next four weeks, I’ll offer up three major themes per week and list out (in my typical bullet-point fashion) what we know and what remains unresolved regarding these overarching elements to the central mystery of Lost.
I implore y’all, especially those w... Continue reading »
