There has been a lot of discussion about Desmond in the aftermath of Lost's finale.  Desmond is the only character who seemed to  be able to cross planes, having an awareness of and in the sideways world before he died.  Desmond has always been referred to as “special.” His consciousness has been known to move through time, and Desmond has a unique resistance to the Island's

What is Smokey?One of the burning unanswered mysteries associated with Lost is “What is the Smoke Monster?”  I contend that season six gave us the clues to put the pieces of this puzzle together.  Smokey need not remain an enigma in the minds of Lost fans. Now we found out in early seasons that the Smoke Monster was some sort of security system for the Island.  We also found out

Over and over again, I hear fans complaining that "They just made it up as they went along."  Well, I'm getting a little tired at hearing this.  Of COURSE they did.  Here's I have to say to the entire "making it up as they went along" camp. Yes, to a certain degree, they DID make it up as they went along. That is one of the MAJOR differences between a Television program and a

Every once in a while, I'll post a "Random Thoughts" entry.  These entries will primarily consist of thoughts I've expressed elsewhere, but are good enough to stand on their own. I was participating in a discussion about what we might like to see that was "left out" of Lost.  In this instance, we were talking about a program focusing on the last survivors, arriving back home on what

One of the biggest areas of post-finale discussion involves the Flash Sideways.  Let me say first and foremost that the flash sideways are primarily a literary technique.  The Show Runners wanted the final season to mirror the first season in many ways.  They had already employed the flash-back and flash-forward techniques; they did not want to reuse either one.  So the

During one of their many pre-finale interviews, Damon talked about people's need for answers, where answers may not exist.  He quoted Mother's line about every answered question just leading to another question.  Damon alluded to the scientific explanation for the creation of the universe: The Big Bang Theory. “What came first...the big bang.  Well, what came before that?  A

I have frequented a site called DarkUfo throughout the last few years.  DarkUfo was recently voted the #2 Lost Site on the web.  After spending several hours chatting with other Lostheads, I posted this quick assessment of the show: The island is a metaphor for that supernatural, unexplainable part of living that man just can't stop trying to understand. Dharma was a metaphor for man's

Having invested 6 years and millions of brain cells in Lost, I am sad to see it over. I was “live chatting”, as had become my habit, during The End, and I was almost overwhelmed by the immediate backlash and disappointment from the Lost fanbase. (I must say that my immediate reaction was “I LOVED the episode up until the last 15 minutes.) “They didn't explain anything,” fans wailed. “What was the
