Interesting, saw this via @fullofsleep:
(updated since hot linking wasn’t allowed)
I’m not going to post all of these, but this one is interesting too.
Whoa, BIG TIME SPOILER ALERT. Who has seen the video of the first four minutes of tonight’s episode?
Ok, this wasn’t a “leak” so much as it was the first four minutes being put out online by the studio. I’d watch it (and did) if I were you.
Interesting theory about LOST over here: LOST theory of Everything. Remember, if you read theories you may actually end up reading a spoiler without even knowing it.
Playgrounder just linked to a DHARMA decal sticker for your laptop. I have nearly the same one.
I have the a decal that looks exactly the same on my MacBook Pro! I got it from Etsy for $10 and it arrived yesterday. I couldn’t be more excitedabout it! Thanks for the great inspiration Colin!
Nice!! We should have probably called ABC and told them we’d sell ad space on the back of our Macbook Pros. Oh well.
The NY Times has put together an interactive timeline of LOST. Awesome stuff.
Wait. Groundhog Day + LOST Season 6 premier = this? Haha.
The Chicago Tribune has a nice write-up of what you need to know before tonight’s episode of LOST.
Supposedly the first hour of tonight’s episode has leaked online (which I will not link to) but it appears that fans are refusing to watch it.
Can’t remember a characters name? What was episode 4 of Season 4 about? All of these types of answers can be found at LOSTpedia (Sorry for wasting countless hours of your time with this link).
Great to review before tonight is LOSTpedia’s coverage of the Season 5 finale.
Pretty sweet Season 6 graphic named Last Supper wherein all of the main characters are looking directly at John Locke.
The Season 6 premier is titled LA X, Parts 1 & 2. Interesting that they separated the X from the LA in the airport code for Los Angeles International Airport.
Self.com has a pretty good recap called LOST for latecomers.
I’ll say this: The Lost Theory of Everything is WAY too convoluted.
In fact, I have a feeling that everything is going to be explained to the characters by the end of the season, which is silly. I want two things: 1. resolution for the characters and, 2. an explanation for the island.
I don’t think the two need to be tied together at all. They could resolve the various characters’ storylines and then, in a separate show, explain the parts of the island that weren’t explained through the storyline.
But realistically, I know that will never happen. We’re going to get everything wrapped up in a nice little package, and it’s going to seem very contrived.
Mark my words: We’ll get every explanation we’re looking for, but the show will suffer for it.
(If I could have moved your comment to be a reply to the theory link I would have)
Obviously I hope you’re right and wrong. I hope that some of the biggest questions that the show created, just so that we would be sucked in, get resolved in some manner. But I definitely don’t want the show to suffer because of it.
As of today, I’m optimistic.
Sorry, I forget about the comment replies.
Anyway, I think we’ll get character resolution and island answers, but to get both, I don’t think we’ll get the best show possible. I’m not saying it’s going to be bad, just that it’s going to be too convenient.
I can’t disagree with that. I’ve always found LOST to do things too conveniently.
After watching the Season 5 special features I’m going to have to disagree. I think the show has always had a very strong idea of where they were heading and how the answers would play into it. I’m excited to see what they’ll do with it all (but mostly sad to see it coming to an end). I felt much better about how things would be answered when the commentary on one of the season 5 episodes stated matter-of-factly that nobody should be able to think they “make this stuff up” on a weekly basis. But that everything has had a plan and place for a long time
My mind must be slipping. Who’s the guy behind Locke in the maroon shirt on the the Last Supper picture?
Funny? But, I’ll bite. That is Jack. Ummm.
Ha! I guess I didn’t recognize him with combed hair and no beard or stubble. When has he ever looked like that on the show?
For most of Season 5 he was pretty clean cut.
Nice, @LamarOKC (a billboard company), put the LOST numbers up on a giant billboard.
Proof: Babies love LOST too.
Epic.
Gah! We’re trying to get some of that good stuff going on tonight. Got to get to label printing
“I think after Lost is over and I know how it ends is when I will start watching the show from the first season.” – Cris Carpenter on Twitter.
Late last year I re-watched seasons 1 through 4 just prior to the Season 5 Blu-ray release. Watching the show from beginning to end (having known the end already) puts every single episode in a brand new light. I’m assuming this will again be true for when the show’s series finale has aired. LOST is a very twisted web of information, characters, and hidden gems. I plan on doing the same thing.
Here is a pretty insane graphic that I can’t stop staring at.
I’m now using this as my desktop background on my laptop.
Very cool.
I’ve also made this the background on one of my monitors, prior to that I was using the “Eko v Smokey” poster (link below) from the series of Lost posters that were revealed over the last few months.

Wow, that is pretty epic.
Aaron Nordyke has a pretty epic LOST shirt.
Sweet. The LOST predictions form. Please use a No. 2 pencil.
Almost forgot about this video: The plane crash from Season 1 Episode 1 in realtime mixed together with everything else that was going on at the time (that we know of).
Although thin, here is the first description from tonight’s episode: “The aftermath from Juliet’s detonation of the hydrogen bomb is revealed.”
An updated image for this year that does not include Libby presumably because the actress that played her did not want to return to the show.
Those four minutes that were supposedly “leaked” online. They can be found via ABC.com now. So, obviously officially leaked if leaked at all.
The Onion, always good for a few laughs, has their own video in tribute to the final season of LOST.
The official LOST Season 6 promo video is also on YouTube.
A bunch of video interviews of LOST cast members where they jest about Season 6 a bit.
NY Mag interviews the guy that plays Richard Alpert.
As a follow up to the realtime video of the airplane crash… here is the Sydney Airport in realtime in two parts (also known as the Hawaii Convention Center).
Ever wonder how each LOST cast member would order a pizza? Now you know.
People.com, via CNN, have posted an interview with Damon and Carlton.
MyRecipe.com’s video series The Dinner Tonight does their latest episode in the style as the DHARMA Initiative training videos. Nice.
TIME.com has a photo gallery featuring the Top 10 Episodes of LOST so far.
Only two of their top 10, ‘The Brig’ and ‘The Constant’, made it into my top 12 (I couldn’t narrow it down any further), but I also didn’t include the season premieres or finales because they are all great.
http://previously-on-lost.com/12-of-my-favourite-episodes-so-far/
I really liked LaFleur (which made their list). However, I’ve never really poured over the list of episodes to figure out my favorites.
Yeah, I’d written my list out before I got up to LaFluer in my season 5 rewatch, and it was better than I remembered, Life and Time of Jeremy Bentham could have easily also made my list (even if I was a little disappointed that they squashed all Locke’s off-island time into one episode)
I wonder how many people have played 4 8 15 16 23 42 since LOST debuted? Heck, I wonder how many people played them beforehand.
How about another Top 10 list? This time, The Top 10 Scenes of LOST on the New York Post’s Pop Wrap.
Pardon the non-English characters but here is a video from the “Sunset on the Beach” in Waikiki that the cast had on Saturday.
Is Walt Mossberg the Smoke Monster? That would probably explain a lot actually.
The Star Bulletin remarks that people from all over the world showed up for that Sunset on the Beach thingy in Hawaii.
I wonder how much money Hawaii has made because of LOST? I know it has a few of my dollars already and it will definitely be getting more.
Wow. Here are a ton of sweet fan-created LOST posters.
Amazon’s Armchair Commentary blog asks: What’s the best season? of LOST.
LOST cupcakes made by some fan. Eliza is currently busy making some really great grub (photos on her Flickr are sure to follow) for tonight’s premier.
PopWatch has the one scene you should watch before tonight’s premier.
