Dan Liebke's Astonishing Tales

With the final episode of Lost only a week away, it’s high time I spoiled the criminy out of it by revealing detailed Lost Finale spoilers. (As always, spoilers may be 100% fabricated): Charles Widmore will offer Desmond a ‘Penny for his thoughts’! In yet another example of his constant stupidity, he will agree! Kate will finally [...]

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 [...]

Walt, Walt, Walt. Or, to paraphrase his dad: “Waaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaalt!!!” The alleged specialness of Walt was hinted at from very early on – with him summoning birds to their death, seemingly also summoning polar bears to (eventually) theirs, rolling dice perfectly at backgammon and so on and so forth and so on again. His hinted-at importance [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
