TELEVISION: Lost: It’s Really Over! Ruminations on The End!

Jack, Locke, Libby, Jin, Kate, Hurley, Sawyer

I’ve got a lot of things to do, but I’ve spent most of the day [so far] watching the finale of Lost over and over again. The last half hour really gets to me – not that that first two hours didn’t. The more I watch it, the less I think about it – and the more I feel.

Over the course of the series, I’ve grown to love Lost’s multitude of characters – Jack, Kate, Hugo, Locke, Charlie, Sawyer, Jin, Sun, Michael, Walt, Sayid, Boone, Shannon, Desmond, Penny, Mr. Eko, Ana Lucia [though she took some work], Libby, Faraday, Miles, Charlotte, Rousseau, Alex – and love/hate others [Ben, Widmore]. Some were utterly reprehensible – like Keamy and, eventually, The Man in Black [though the writers did a nice job of making him ambiguous for just long enough].

So now, to quote Jim Morrison, this is The End. It all comes down to one last blowout episode. Was it, in the end, worth it? Absolutely! [Spoilers galore follow the jump…]

TELEVISION: Lost – Like General Franco, John Locke is Still Dead!

Lost Supper [Locke Version]

After ten-and-a-half months, Lost returned with its final season premiere, a two-hour premiere called LA X, last night. The final Lost recap, in a stroke of genius, was narrated by Michael [Ben Linus] Emerson and tracked the individual character arcs of the main cast members – an approach that was unique for these things – and set the tone for a most unusual beginning to Lost’s end. I have no idea how many theories were rendered invalid last night, or how many fans were thrilled or ticked off, but no can say the answers didn’t begin with a couple of big bangs!

Spoilers follow the jump.

TELEVISION: Confused? You Won’t Be After Tonight’s Premiere of Lost!

Posted by  Sheldon A. Wiebe on February 2, 2010

in Television

No, I haven’t seen anything more than the almost new footage-free spots that ABC has been airing for the much anticipated final season premiere of Lost [ABC, 9/8C – Recap at 8/7C] – or the collections of soundbites from the cast members – all content-free but talking about such things as the show’s legacy and their places within it. And no, you’ll probably still be a bit confused afterwards, but we are promised that answers will be coming beginning with LA X, so we’ll see…

I do know that a few of the twelve thousand [12,000!] fan who traveled from around the world to attend the last Sunset on the Beach screening of the premiere have posted shaky, cell phone cam recordings of the premiere and those postings haven’t managed squat in viewings – and a wealth of comments to the effect of, “Why would I want to watch a shaky, cheapo version of this? I’ve waited for almost a year to see what happens next and I’m going to watch it in HD, not your pissy little video!”

Network suits everywhere are astounded!

Tomorrow, I’ll post my reaction to LA X, the two-hour premiere of the final season of Lost.

As the beginning of the end approaches for ABC’s Lost [Tuesdays, 9/8C], the now traditional practice of holding an advance screening on the sandy beach of Waikiki comes to an end as well [though I’m not sure I’d want to party with this guy…].

BLU-RAY REVIEW: Lost Season 1 – 5 sets a new Standard for TV on Blu-ray!

Lost Blu-ray

I’ve spent the past three – four weeks having weekend Marathons, I’m up to season four watching Disney’s recently release Lost Blu-ray sets. I’m not a huge fan the show, I first discovered it on DVD a few years ago, watched the first season in a single weekend marathon and enjoyed it, but never got around to watching the Season Two DVD set. That’s not to say that I don’t like the show, I do, I just don’t love it. The only way I would put up with a show like this is to watch it in big 8 episode chunks.  Especially season two where I had to put up with Michael screaming Walt! every few minutes. Walt!

I have to say Disney Home Video has done a fantastic job on their recently released Lost Blu-rays, if, for no other reason than their way cool SeasonPlay option that gives you the ability to pick up your viewing where you left off whether you take the disk out or not. One of the things I’ve been complaining about lately is how the Java BD breaks the caching on most Blu-ray players, namely my PS3. Walt!!! Whenever I accidentally hit the stop button (which is frequently) on the PS3′s crappy remote control my place is completely lost and I’m stuck going through 10 minutes of startup crap before I can even fast forward to my last spot.  Well the folks at Disney have figure out a way around this with SeasonPlay.  Walt!!!
