Getting Lost: "The Economist" Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg johnnysweeptheleg’s Lost in a moment: This week, Lost was all about games. Playing Let’s Make a Deal, Frank tells Sayid he’ll airlift him to the tanker … in exchange for Charlotte’s rescue from Locke. Flash-forward to Sayid on a golf course attempting a 7-iron shot, when a man – Mr. Avellino – pulls up on his cart and bets him he gets closer with his 5-iron. Disappointed he isn’t the beverage cart, but just happy enough he didn’t ask to play through, Sayid takes him up on his bet. And wouldn’t you know it, the […]

Getting Lost: "The Economist" Preview

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg It’s Valentine’s Day, which means everyone has a certain four-letter “L” word on their mind. That’s right — Lost. During the eight-month wait between Seasons 3 and 4, we had forgotten how much we look forward to each new episode. It’s much like football season, when Monday-Saturday are just days that get in the way of our Sundays (give or take an occasional Monday night game that ends up being interesting.) These days, the days between Thursdays seem to take forever (especially when the previews look this good), but here we are.

Getting Lost: "Confirmed Dead" Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg johnnysweeptheleg’s Lost in a moment: Instead of flashing forward, we have a flashback (not of the ’70s drug era variety) of Daniel Faraday watching the “discovery” of Oceanic 815 at the bottom of the ocean. He’s crying. And he doesn’t know why. We call that a two-for-wuh? Back in the present, one by one like the frogs in Magnolia, the remaining rescuers fall from the sky and land all over the island. Jack and Kate haven’t completely labeled Locke’s words as bat crazy, as is evident in their obvious suspicion of Faraday. It doesn’t help […]

Getting Lost: “Confirmed Dead” Preview

Last week’s season premiere was everything we hoped it would be after enduring an eight-month hiatus between Seasons 3 and 4. Now on to our growing list of questions headed into “Confirmed Dead”: – Who are the “rescuers”? – Why are they really coming to the island? – Once off the island, why does Jack need to go back? – When Kate meets Jack at the airport and tells him, “He’s going to be wondering where I am,” who is “he”? – Who was in the coffin during Jack’s flash-forward? – Who is Jacob? – Is Christian Shephard really dead […]

Getting Lost: "The Beginning Of The End" Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg First off, last night’s episode was all kinds of awesome. We find it hard to believe that anyone could possibly feel any differently. Did it answer our questions from yesterday? A few of them. But it made us ask even more. And that’s why we love Lost. Enough about us though. Let’s get on with the recap. johnnysweeptheleg’s Lost in a moment: The season opener is just as I hoped it would be. A flash-forward opens, as we see Jack already taking the first step toward his soon-to-be-needing 12 steps, drinking a vodka and OJ […]

Getting Lost: "The Beginning Of The End" Preview

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg “The Beginning of the End” Preview We admit it. Three seasons in, we still don’t “get” Lost. Don’t get us wrong — we love it. We just don’t always understand exactly what’s going on. At least not completely. We probably won’t until the very end. And we have a feeling we’re not alone. Therefore, each Thursday for the next eight weeks, we’ll post the questions we most want answered. If not in that night’s episode, then by the end of the season. Or the series. (Feel free to send us yours, and we’ll add them […]
