Via digg… I like the screenshot of Sawyer reading a book.

This is pretty fun if you’re missing “Lost” this morning (and since it’s like 8 months until Season 4 premiere, you’re pretty much screwed if you’re that desperate already)… It’s a video made up of snippets from the three seasons of “Lost” of the plane crash, spliced together into somewhat real time. I especially like the end. Video after the jump…

I’m still loving this show. But I have a problem with last night’s episode… don’t read on if you haven’t watched.

How could Juliet have known what was on the other side of the tape? At best she could have guessed at the message’s content, but since the tape player went from Ben to Locke to Sawyer, she could not have heard it. Last week, she had told Ben on the tape that Sun was preggers and that she still had to get Kate’s sample, but they were still on for the original plan for the raid. On the tape last night, Ben confirmed the first two points, saying there would be no time for Kate’s sample but then changing the timeframe of the raid. Correct? That would have been new, urgent information for Juliet, but instead she played it like she had heard that message already. Unless of course the tape player was a feint for Locke and Sawyer’s benefit, and that the real messages were being passed some other way between Ben and Juliet. But that would just be confusing at this point. They would have had to set that up. I think this was a flub.

So was what happened to Locke, but of a different much more serious variety…

So the past few episodes of “Lost” have been pretty darn good and this begs the question: why are these episodes better than the rest? I think I have an answer or at least a theory (and everyone knows this is a show with no small shortage of theories) in the form of a name: Brian K. Vaughan. Continue reading Lost 3×17: Catch 22

I’ve long held to the position that Terry O’Quinn is the reason to watch ABC’s “Lost.” This is no more evident than in last night’s episode “The Man From Tallahassee” which focused on O’Quinn’s character John Locke and how he ended up in that wheelchair.

If you’re a Lost fan, Andrew Dignan over at The House Next Door has the goods you need. His insightful, well-constructed episode deconstructions offer exactly the kind of intellectual fuel you need to keep you watching this show just when you think you’ve got much more intelligenter things to do. Continue reading Lost: “Enter 77″ (3×11)

The promos for last night’s Lost promised “three of Lost’s biggest questions…answered.” Well, about halfway through, Alex confronts a caged Jack about why he saved Ben, who is apparently her father now. Jack fires off some questions at her in return, and she remarks that it was three questions and he was only supposed to ask one, that old bit.

Did you see what they did just there? Because unless one of the other burning questions was whether or not Bai Ling would wear modest clothing, I think some soulless marketing jerks just weasled us big-time.

Note: For the purposes of this blog, a “Review” indicates that I have seen the episode already, and therefore there shall be no such thing as spoilers. Be warned once now and forevermore.

You had me at “Previously.” I don’t expect this episode to put the kibbosh to the Lost backlash, but overall I thought this was a fabulous comeback ep. The one thing I could do without in this episode is Elizabeth Mitchell’s face. I know that seems harsh, but she doesn’t seem to know what sort of emotion she is supposed to provide in a given scene. There was a moment in her confrontation with her ex (Zeljko Ivanek) where she turned back to him with a giggly smile like she was in on some joke. And then she is one of those actors who when she wants to look tough she just lets her face go limp, and it just doesn’t work for me.
