Lost: How Hard Is It To Pull A Trigger, Folks?!

I don’t usually post Spoiler Warnings on my Lost posts, because I figure any good discussion of a show after the show has aired will have spoilers in it and most reasonable people could, would and should expect that without the post’s author holding their hand. Tonight is different. Tonight’s episode was the [...]

Lost: Paging Dr. Mary Sue

Dear Writers of Lost:
Shall we talk for a few moments about character development? I apologise for taking up so much of your time with silly stuff like this, but I thought maybe I should point something out to you that you may have missed. You have a character who, as you’ve spent [...]

Lost: Sweet And Becoming

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
When the poet Horace wrote those words many years ago, he probably had no idea I’d be using them on a blog about a television show. But then again, he probably had no idea that pretentious nerds like me were both writing and watching TV.
The pretentious nerds who [...]

Lost: If It’s Wednesday, This Must Be Hell

The analysis of nerdbait:

Every philosophy geek in the country chuckled at the “Rousseau”; “Locke” exchange. I think that was my favourite nerd shout-out until…

Sawyer dispatched of the Evil Con Man Jabba-the-Hut style. Come on! That totally rocked, ladies and gentlemen. Totally and completely.

Sawyer’s mother’s name was Mary. Don’t have [...]

Lost: If Every Sperm Is Sacred, This Island Is A HOLY Place

::Snore::
Well, that was boring.  I think we got a grand total of 4 minutes of interesting/entertaining action, thinly spread over a lot of dull.

Sun speaks for all of us when she says “Go Away, Kate!” and “I want answers”.

Unfortunately, Sun DOES not act for all of us.   She has a golden opportunity to take [...]

Lost: They Call The Wine Moriah

::spoilers o’course::
“Where’s the wire?” Desmond asks in the opening minutes of this episode, reminding me of my own questions for tv writers the world over. Where, indeed, is The Wire? I miss that cohesive feel of being part of a novel-for-television experience. Oh well. Until Season Five of The Wire [...]

Lost: I Will Glare At You Really Sternly

::spoilers, gang::
Check out the big ego on Dr. Jack!
So no one is to even bother questioning Juliet’s infiltration into the Beach Boys because she is “under [Jack's] protection”? How exactly is he going to enforce this special protective magic? Laser beams from his eyes? Look, we all know Jack has this [...]

Lost: The Defiant Ones. With Boobies.

Ahhh. Jack and Kate and Juliette, how I’ve missed thee. Here I was, growing used to episodes of Lost that were both entertaining and enlightening.
Sawyer and Hurley? Entertaining, but relegated to the Gimli & Legolas/Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern comic relief bits. That’s especially unfortunate, given that a lot actually hinged [...]
