I should have seen it coming. Damon and Carlton said so many times that they wouldn't answer all the questions that their show has created and failed to answer over the years. Lost has always been about the characters, it was never really about the mythology. Unfortunately Damon and Carlton did such a good job of creating a back story for the island that, in my view, I found the island more interesting than the characters. So yes, I'm a little bit confused and a little unsatisfied with the ending.

They kind of made season 3 and 4 a bit redundant. They only seemed to have been written to show how Desmond would be able to save the island and how Sayer and Juliet would be destined for each other. Yes I know that's simplifying the subtle nuances of it all but the only real answers I wanted were raised in those 2 seasons. 1, How is time travel relevant to island 2, What was Dharma trying to do with it. I guess I really wanted some crazy bond villain ending, revolving around the heart of the island inside some secret Dharama complex where Widmore was trying to take over the world or something. A gigantic end battle where my favourite theme of the show, faith vs science, would be fought.

But at the end of the day it's not me writing the show and I respect Damon and Carlton for just doing their own thing. I guess a few people are annoyed at the moment but it will fade over time. Will Lost be remember in a fond light? Probably. Will there be some spin off shows? Probably. Will Damon and Carlton be involved? I doubt it. will I watch them? No.

One fantastic thing that did come out of this was the simultaneous broadcast of the finale world wide. I'm no expert on these things but a surely this is the way to beat piracy. The internet links the world together and TV is now a global thing. Stop the REAL need for people to download these shows and you might get people watching TV again...not that they ever really stopped.

Anyway with Lost finishing I'm moving on to new stuff. I have recently got a job at EA games. So I guess I will have access to some interesting games related stuff, still not sure whether I will be able to talk about it as I start next week but I will if I can.

Bye bye for now, I'm off to get a verbal beating from all my friends as they told me during season 1 that it was purgatory.

We're back...




You can download it from iTunes now and it's seem we have gone straight in to the podcast charts at number 8!!!!

I'm doing a webchat next Friday too, I just remembered. The last one was a laugh so drop in and say hi. It's normally promoted via the skyone twitter and on their website.

Fan Theories:

and the Theory Battle:

I've been busy recently which makes a change. First off I've been doing some interviews and some other stuff for the lovely people over at the lostblog.com.

I here is the first 5 questions from the interview:

Q:  How long have you been watching Lost?

Since the beginning. I worked at Channel 4 when they bought the rights to the first series. I got told to watch it by a colleague because they thought I would absolutely love it..they were right. I got asked to do the Channel 4 Lost podcast on the back of the work I did on the Channel 4 Lost website and because I had seen the first season and the majority of the second. It seems that my Geeky status is a bit of a cheat!

Q: How did Lost get its polar bear claws into you? What about it got you hooked?

I was hooked after the second episode – We all thought it was a Jurassic Park clone after the first. You hear the noise of the smoke monster and it sounded a bit like a dinosaur which for some reason me and my friends had never been huge fans of (sorry Spielberg). But after the next was finished and there was no dinosaurs in sight, we watched the rest and bloody loved it.

Q: Favorite character?

Ben – Fantastic character and I have a feeling he still has some HUGE secrets left.

Q: Least favorite character?

I have a love hate relationship with Jack

Q: Favorite episode or season?

First episode of the second series. I waited a while to find out what was in the hatch and it was such a contrast to the living conditions and the stuff going on above ground that it blow my mind. I remember bigging it up to my friends at the time to the point where they were completely sick of it AND me.

you can read the rest here.

I also did laid down some Lost predicitons for them too, some are silly, some are more serious. Here is the first:
Get the rest here.

Also I am off to this tonight:


Iain is going to sneak me in because apparently I'm not famous enough to get on the guest list...the swines!

Here is a small exstract from their press release:

"The celebrated comedy theatre troupe have condensed all five seasons into a fast paced flight through the story of the Oceanic plane crash survivors. The world premiere is to be held in London on Thursday 28th January, performed for an intimate audience of competition winners. The production will also be filmed for internet broadcast as well as on the Sky Platform’s Anytime service."

 It sounds like it's going to be blast, I can't wait. But I'm probably more excited about this:


 You can read more about it here.

By the way I don't look like that anymore =)

My first Lost related post for a while. It seemed appropriate as things seem to be winding up for the start of the new series. The web is a-wash with blog posts, theories and teasers all waiting to inform, annoy and finally ruin your day with their show spoiling articles. Quite ironic really, me writing this as most of my friends ban me from saying anything about any show as I normally end up letting a bit too much information go. Like last night in the pub where I may have inadvertantly ruined the end of the "The Road" for a friend.

Hey guess what though? I just can't help myself. Check out the the image below.

(Via aint it cool and one of their eagle eyed users who recently visited Hawaii)

It might be a spoiler, but it also might not be...ok it’s a spoiler. Looks like the Hydra station doesn’t it? But knowing my track record of trying to predict these types of things it will be something completely different...like a picture of Jack or something. Ok maybe not a picture of Jack, Kate maybe? Infact I know what it is because it said on the Aint it cool post where I stole the image from. I was just trying to add some mystery where there isn't any. Bad form, I appologise. This is really turning in to a rubbish post, I appologse.

Anwyay, MORE SPOILERS! I hear you cry. Isn’t that what the internet is all about? Spoiling our favourite shows? You demand to know which actors will be returning?. How about pretty much every all of them. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! No surprise really as nothing seems to stay dead for long and that crazy guy in black seems to be able to make himself look like any – dead –body he wants to. To go in to a little bit more detail I will mention names. Boon, Michael, Libby and some others which I can’t remember because I was in the pub till late last nigt spoiling shows for people.

The Lost Initiative will be back of course. I know you either love or hate our childish banter. So if you hate us then go away please you smell of wee. However if you like us than keep an eye out on the horizon that is the SkyOne website, we will be making our triumphant return soon.

Right I’m off to watch the Lovely Bones in the work cinema - living the dream. lol

Bloody good ending to the season, I can’t wait until the next year. I have a feeling it’s going to be a very epic last series. I also have a feeling all of the cast will be back, and when I say all of the cast I mean ALL of them.

We are also up for a Broadcast Award (Best Use of Interactive) which is pretty cool. It would be nice to win one after 5 years of hard work ; )
This is who we are up against though. Tough competition.

PS. All chocolate bars where consumed on the train back home. BONUS

I didn’t do very well at all. Quizzes are never my thing, my brain just doesn’t work that quick.

Seems like I may have been replaced, tune in next year to see if I’m still allowed on the show. Probably not to be honest, shes a lot better then me and will probably come up with some theories that aren't completely half baked lol

I enjoyed the Star wars references.

Here are some better puns...well maybe not better. When I said better I really meant worse. Here are some Star wars puns that are worse:

Which fishlike commander was disgusted whenever he entered a tavern? Admiral 'Ack, bar!'

Can you beat a Gungan at a staring contest? Yes, because Jar Jar blinks!

Which Imperial commander was afraid of swimming? Darth Wader.

Shop for Star Wars paraphernalia at the Darth Mall.

One of my better T-Shirts, it's a shame Iain ruined the day by being a gigantic bully, I will have my revenge.

Apparently this is a funny one. I think it was the one where I mumbled something at the beginning that many people found very amusing, I just found it very embarrassing.

I’m working on a Twitterfeed but everyone seems to have already found it.

Argh

It will get better..I hope. JUST GIVE ME SOME MORE TIME.
