Category > Lost In C-U
I'm sure there are many different reasons why each of us started watching LOST. Some started watching from the beginning in 2004. For others, like me and my wife, we have our own "I started watching in Season X and then spent the next few weeks watching episodes until 4 a.m. to catch up" story. There is a certain recipe to the best LOST episodes and they often involve a heartwarming scene like the beach reunion from last night's "Dr. …
| WHAT HAPPENED "You don't have what it takes," a drunk Christian Shephard told promising young doctor Jack in Season 1. Trying and failing to teach his son a lesson about being a hero was one of many tough father/son scenes we've witnessed over the past five seasons. In Season 6 – Episode 5, "Lighthouse", 2004-Jack tries hard to a better father than his father was to him. 2007-Jack treks through the forest to the island Lighthouse on a mission for …
WHAT HAPPENED This episode introduces the parallel timelines of John Locke. In 2004, he remains paralyzed, but is engaged to be married to sweetheart Helen Norwood. Fired from his job at the box company, this timeline still shows a confused and unfulfilled man, yet something is different. In 2007, Man-In-Black/Locke begins his recruitment of the candidates.
Hello friends, I hope you enjoyed the first two weeks as much as we did. So much to talk about... WHAT HAPPENED Week 1: Flash-sideways and parallel timelines. Yes, instead of giving us one or the other, we're given both. The bomb did reset a timeline, but not the timeline. And so we have LOST version 2004 (plane did not crash, situation slightly altered, see questions below) and LOST version 2007 (everything that has happened remains). I loved it, for …
Hey friends, welcome back. May 2009 was yesterday. You've watched the Season 5 finale multiple times. You've readied your drinks, your dharma guac, you've watched the American promos and the better Spanish promos, analyzed the picture and resisted the temptation to watch the leaked footage this weekend... maybe. You are one of us. The proud and annoying.
WHAT HAPPENED In Season 1 Locke taught Walt how to play backgammon:. ''Two players. Two sides. One is light, one is dark.'' THE MAN IN BLACK: ''Do you know how much I want to kill you?'' JACOB: ''Yes.'' THEORIES TO DISCUSS Jacob Theories 1. Jacob willingly submitted himself to death. See Obi-Wan Kenobi. Also see Aslan. 2. Just before Jacob is kicked into the fire he chokes out ''They're coming." Jacob was referring to Jack, Kate, Sawyer and the Losties. …
WHAT HAPPENED Jughead/Jack Shephard (+ Sayid and Eloise): Newly cuddled up to the word and idea of destiny, and determined to carry forward Faraday's hypothesis, Jack was/is bent on detonating the H-bomb hidden in the ancient tunnels of the Island that, in theory, will produce a paradox that will rewrite history. From Jack's now narrow perspective — one clearly scarred by all the folks who've died on his watch as "Island Moses" — rebooting time would bring back all those …
WHAT HAPPENED The game has changed. It appears time can be altered. Hold on to your hats friends. Young Daniel was sitting at the piano and said to his mother "I can make time." We'll see... "The Variable" is Free Will versus Mathematics/Physics. Faraday returns to attempt to use the buried H-Bomb to ''negate'' the wellspring of electromagnetic energy underneath the Swan construction site, which Faraday claims was only hours away from exploding due to Dharma's drilling. And why believe …
LOST fans got a break from their weekly fix last night, and we were treated to a nice hour-long synopsis of how we got to where we are on the island, and off of it. With four episodes left to go in the penultimate season, here are the top 5 most relevant topics to discuss and anticipate over the next month. 1. Ann Arbor, MI The Dharma Initiative has been one of the central mysteries on LOST island since the …
Special column this week... I've been away at the hospital watching the birth of my very own baby Charlie. But we did all watch the episode last night... Here are some burning questions — Discuss!

It’s a total shame this is only during working hours! It sounds great, but I’m one of those who can’t slip away very readily during the 9-to-5. Next time, a request: weekend events, please?
Nuts. Sorry I saw this, um, 15 minutes before CULitFest (my term!) begins. However, one deficit - no beer. SP.com 1, UIUC 0. In all seriousness, hope it goes well!
Good stuff as always! I like the theory Zelina presented…curious to see how it plays out with Sawyer, Jin/Sun, and Kate…
To get back to the show, if that’s allowed, we saw it last night. I know a lot about the films of the 30s and 40s and appreciated what Durang was trying to do, though some was pretty obvious and the ending was forced. A literal kitchen…
I had a great time reading around your post as I read it extensively. Gold Coins
Zeleni, I had the exact same theory only with the mysterious Man in Black/Smokie granting the wishes. MIB promised Sayid he could have anything in the world he wanted, which turned out to be Nadia. Although he does not necessarily “have” her, she has not died yet…
Zelini, I really like this - I’ll try to follow the theory more closely. As they reveal more about Kate (possibly next week), it might give us more perspective. I agree with your observation about Ben and I think Michael Emerson has done an excellent job conveying his lesser stature.
What if the sideways alternatives are where Jacob actually grants them their wishes, but in ways they didn’t quite expect? The elimination of one regret. Sayid gets to be with Nadia - although through his brother. Maybe he ends up with her at the expense of his…
I understood this totally differently than the other people that posted…this is what I got from it: - the more background you have going in, the more of the allusions you will understand when watching - afterwards, you can do a little research to fill in the…

I love eating Vietnamese food, and having growing up my entire life eating it, I was excited to go. I really wanted to like this place because of all of the hype I had heard——unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. I got the pho (vietnamese soup) and thought…
Kaiyo was decent for a sushi buffet, but it definitely isn’t as good as KO fusion. I thought it was better than any sushi I’ve ever had at a chinese buffet, but was not as good as my least favorite sushi item at KO fusion. However, I…
What is an antibiotic-free egg? And how can you tell?
Great article. I’ve always found that by making it in the blender, I can be my typical impatient self and pour tons of oil in at once. It’s very forgiving that way, though not fool proof.
I will be at Danu this evening. And seeing as tomorrow - St. Pat’s - is my birthday, I will be celebrating with tons of green and fun!
Big Blue will actually be on 6-9, despite what is posted elsewhere. Then, hightail it over to Bentley’s!
Ahh - good point - I will plug them in the appropriate sections.
Yeeee! This sounds so fun! Any word on covers for any/all of these? Maybe SP could spring for punch cards and some discounts if we make it to all, eh?
Ok, just tell me when I can exhale - Just curious, since all the globalists, carbon traders, and pretty much anyone with copious amounts of wealth have weighed in on population reduction in recent years, i was wondering what yer magic number was. Some of the more…
ESPN360!!!!! For those that don’t know, you can watch the ESPNs’ games on your puter.
...and given the lack of smiley emoticons i chose to employ, that reads far more sarcastically than i ever intended (my apologies). i actually find this to be a great article and an interesting discussion, seriously : )
Once it leaves the basement, it is then called what? hmmm…....could it be mainstream? accessible? appealing on a mass-level? POP??? Quickly it will become a fad, over-saturate the media, and piss people off. Then everyone can write articles based on how that shit sucks, too. chickens are…
So John is seeing all comments as being authored by John. I am seeing all comments as authored by me. The first comment was Mysterious McDade who evidently acquired an Optimism Hat and is now seeing how it fits.
No, everyone is me! Muahahaha! I so didn’t make that first comment so I thought maybe someone was trying to get my goat, adding me to the staff. I hope jumping to that conclusion is forgivable. Yeah, uh, I guess I should say that I swear I…
I have reached Nirvana, I guess. Everyone is me.
Something weird is happening.
WTF guys? Does impersonating a user in the comments section run afoul of your commenting policy?
In general, I think music is much more interesting now than in 1995. I definitely am very glad contemporary music has expanded beyond the four-piece rock lineup that dominated much of the 90’s. The point of the above isn’t so much about a sound or an instrument…
2010 is not 1995. I’m not sure why anyone would expect a music scene to remain stationary as the world of popular music moves around it. Also, today, making popular music with mainstream appeal and being innovative and cutting-edge are usually exact opposites.
I didn’t know that the LED was created here. That’s awesome.
