LA X (Part One)

After last season’s all-nukin’ finale, we open on Oceanic 815 (again! come on writers, try something new for once in your by-the-numbers lives!). But this time, there’s no crash, mostly because ocean-dwelling cameras reveal that the island has been sunk to the [...]

Wow! Didn’t time fly. I had originally said I was going to cover all the major outstanding mysteries and unanswered questions left for Lost on a weekly basis until the show returned for Season Six. Obviously, in retrospect, that was a Very Large Lie. So, with the Season Six premiere looming, let’s skip all the [...]

Pregnant women have played a part in Lost since the initial plane crash. Pregnant men less so (although little known fact I just made up – the inflight movie for Flight 815 was Schwarzenegger fan-favourite Junior – coincidence? Of course not).

Claire kicked off all the pregnancy nonsense, what with her stupidly flying in the third trimester [...]

That it’s made of smoke for one thing. That it’s rather judgmental for another. It’s also able to [...]

4. 8. 15. 16. 23. 42.

Six perfectly common integers. Introduced to the show in Season One, Episode Eighteen as the numbers that won Hurley the lottery and then simultaneously unleashed a torrent of bad luck on him. Later revealed to be the numbers on the first hatch and the numbers that need to be typed [...]

Okey-dokey, people. Mysteries. Unanswered questions. Lost. Let’s sort this lot out. At the time of writing, it’s less than twenty weeks until the final season of my favouritest show in the world, Lost. (Not sure of the exact number of weeks since I don’t know exactly when Season Six will crank into gear – but [...]
