A better 'Lost' poster

Here's another version of the Lost poster for the final season on ABC.

Check out Josh Holloway rocking the eyeliner. (Maybe not. I might be a tad vengeful after everyone gave Nestor Carbonell the business for being Cuban last year.)

And is that? Could it be? Well, hello Ian Somerhalder. Last time I saw you, Boone, you were dead.

And check out Sayid (Naveen Andrews). My man!

I like seeing all the old faces from S1 and S2 in this poster. (I avoid spoilers at all costs so if I sound uninformed on this end, I am. I NEED to be surprised. It's my raison d'etre.) If it means Lindelof/Abrams have stopped poking my perpetual Lost wound and stopped introducing new characters, I can sleep soundly tonight.

'Lost' gets new poster for final season

Funny. The new Lost poster kinda looks like the others. Thanks, ABC.

This totally reminds me of how the ACC retooled its own logo when it went from 9 to 12 schools five years ago. All they did was add more dots on a bigger map. Snazzy.

A quarter to the first HWTV-head who can ID everyone in the photo.

'Lost' teaser - ABC wants me to punch myself

I was egregiously tardy getting to this for the HWTV crowd but ABC finally came through with a teaser for the final season of Lost.

I forgot all about it for days and days until last night when I was Googling Foxy. (Matthew Fox, a.k.a. Jack Shephard, a.k.a Why Do People Call Me Foxy? That's My Dad's Nickname.)

No premiere date yet. But in this totally inadequate, completely unacceptable trailer for Lost's victory lap, we do see Dr. Cry Now Smile Later getting in a line about "destiny" while bleeding, sort of, from the head.

Ahhh, yes. Color me happy ... for now.


'Lost' auction scheduled for May 2010

After the series finale of Lost airs next May, ABC will reward devoted fans and throw serious collectors into a tizzy by auctioning off some of the show's iconic items. I personally would love whatever jeans Foxy wore for 100 days on the island the first time around but that's just me. I'd blow the mason jar money on those. Here's the story from the New York Post.

'Lost' finale recap: The Incident 2

Finale week is great and awful. Last year, I was in such shock I sat for a good 10 minutes going, "What just happened?" This year, I was screaming. Can you tell I'm going to miss the show? I'm catching re-runs of the early seasons on the Sci-Fi Channel.
I just saw the one where Jin beats the stuffing out of Michael over the watch, Charlie finds his guitar, and Jack moves half the Losties to the caves.

Part 2 of The Incident. MORE SPOILERS AHEAD. (Why am I warning you? You haven't watched yet? You call yourself a fan?)

'Lost' finale recap: The Incident 1

Finally, the Lost finale.

If you're reading this on Thursday morning and you haven't watched the final two hours of Lost season 5, shame on you. I was in shock for the final 30 minutes.

SPOILERS AND H-BOMB AHEAD.

'Lost' finale trailer: The Incident

Jack (Matthew Fox) has the H-bomb and he's going to use it. (It's the only way to stop the big scary power surge, don't you know!)  Kate (Evangeline Lilly) is trying to stop him. And she's fighting dirty.

Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have to choose sides. The trailer is hinting that the sides they choose = the mates they choose. Doh. How will the Lost boys squeeze out another 17 episodes if those things happen?

'Lost' recap 5.15: Follow the leader

We go into Lost episode No. 101 — "Follow the Leader" — knowing Daniel died failing to detonate the bomb to stop the big energy surge that sets in motion everything that leads to 815 crashing on the island.

Will anyone else pick up the Daniel baton? Will they even want to? Hmmmm. They're setting up next week's two-hour finale.Are you ready?  I can't hear you. Are you READY? That's better. Careful now. SPOILERS AHEAD.

 

'Lost' preview: Follow the leader

Lost rocks hardest when its main characters are all together figuring stuff out.  "Follow the leader," the episode we'll see Wednesday (ABC, 9 p.m.), is one of those shows. In the preview alone, we see Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Juliet, Sayid, Jin, Locke and Sun.

Daniel Faraday died last week but not before he revealed it is possible for the Oceanic 6 to change their futures, i.e. not crash on the island. (Kate, for one, thinks it's bunk. See below.) We'll find out how in two days.

 

 


Was that 'Lost' death a shocker? Nah.

The only deaths on ABC's Lost that will shock me are Kate's, Jack's or Sawyer's. There's no way any of them can die and the show still retain its heat. (My opinion.) Locke would have been in that category but, not long after we found out he died, we already knew he'd been ressurected.

Well, the producers felt offing one of the other primary characters on Wednesday was pretty shocking. Nah, I'm thinking it was just time they killed someone off. Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof explained their thinking to TV Guide in time for Wednesday's episode. SPOILER ALERT.
