This week’s outing of Lost picks up where “LeFleur” left off, with heroic Dharma head of security “Jim LeFleur” forced to figure out how to integrate his time-traveling buddies from Oceanic Flight 815 into the Dharma initiative without arising suspicion. This causes Sawyer to expand his web of lies in fragile and complex ways. To [...]
I like Lost. I think it’s important to throw that disclaimer up right at the beginning, because I’m about to pick apart some differences between what Lost was and what Lost has become, and the changes are not insignificant. When Lost began, the show creators were upfront with us that there would be sci-fi elements, [...]
Lost has had some great episodes over the years, but few are as phenomenal as last season’s “The Constant.” Now, season five has produced a show to rival that beloved Desmond-centric episode with “LeFleur.” Lost has another tragic romantic hero, and his name is James Ford, aka “Sawyer” aka “Jim LeFleur, Head of Dharma Security.” [...]
It seems like it’s been a long time since we’ve gotten a Locke episode, and this week’s outing detailing Locke’s departure, death and resurrection (but not necessarily in that order) is largely excellent, minus a few plot holes that I’ll get to. Just like last week, the show is framed by a prologue and epilogue [...]
To celebrate our 75th episode, we are excited to have Lost Season 4 on Blu-Ray to give away to one lucky Television Zombies Listener! Here’s what you need to do! Post a comment to this very blog post answering this question: “Who is the real villian or bad guy on Lost? Who will ultimately be [...]
Decompressed storytelling, or storytelling where the story is dragged out over an unnaturally long period of time, is a hallmark of modern comic book writing, “perfected” by guys like Brian Michael Bendis. Lost, while in the past sometimes decompressed it’s overall arc, has always packed a lot of plot into its episodes, particularly recent ones. [...]
There’s something to be said about an episode of a show where a single character drives two members of the cast across town for 30 minutes of real time. Granted, as Chris Piers says, this is par for the course for 24, but Lost doesn’t need to do this. If Desmond can get to LA [...]
After last week’s excellent outing, Lost‘s creative team was bound to stumble. But it’s no big surprise, really– much of the action this week largely involves the Oceanic Six slowly spinning their wheels, as Ben works to manipulate the group into going back to the Island with him. The main plot point of the week [...]
I don’t know what’s warming the cockles of my heart more; Dan Faraday finally admitting his love for Charlotte, or the idea that my heart has warm “cockles”. Either way, this latest installment of my favorite prime time sci-fi soap opera was cockle-chock full of love schlock. With Valentine’s Day being right around the corner, [...]
This week focuses on two of Lost‘s best characters — Desmond Hume and Daniel Farraday — producing one of the strongest individual outings since last year’s “The Constant.” I’m writing this one from memory, so some of the events may be a little scrambled. Spoilers follow. The episode opens with Desmond somewhere in Asia rushing [...]
