I admit to anticipating tonight’s return of Lost way out of proportion. I was going to recap where we are to date, but I can’t do better than this over-caffeinated, right-on ramble on Defamer (whipped out “from memory”) , so go read that there. Carlton and Lindelof’s tone in the pre-season press to ease fan expectation back ahead of the last season has been duly noted. It’s actually has me in a frame of mind wherein I will be fine without full, scientific explanations to every last question so long as the broader, overarching framework of the story ends up locking in place. Not that I wouldn’t say no to a real explanation of the Numbers or the Smoke Monster. But mostly just don’t fuck up the finale and I’m good.

If you never caught the short Lost Season 6 teaser from Spanish TV scored with Radiohead (“EIIRP”), I’ll stick it below for the hell of it. I just love it when a fitting convergence of art from disparate sources is figured out by third parties.

Found these new Lost character shots ABC just released over on /Film. For some sick reason, I am sitting here studying photos of actors against a plain gray backdrop for clues. Such is the abusive relationship of Lost to its fans–so much invested, so little given back. Figure if I throw them up here, maybe some clues will shake out. Why are there 31 shots? What is the significance of 31? Why are there 4 pictures of Kate yet only 3 of Jack and Sawyer?! And there MUST be SOME reason Sun and Jin are both wearing V-NECK shirts! The V must stand for something!
