Welcome
After I wrote an entry on my personal website about season six of LOST, I realized something: there is a really good chance that unless I made a place where I could write all of this down, I would spend the next four months losing my friends one by one as I barraged them with emails or tackled them in public, forcing them to discuss LOST with me.
Welcome to the blog that will save all of my relationships. My friends are so relieved.
Tune in here every Sunday night for a commentary on the previous week’s episode. I am going to do all the hard work for you: I’m going to listen to all of the podcasts; I’m going to read all the recaps, articles, and interviews; I’m going to laugh my way through the Lostpedia fan-powered theory pages for each episode. Then I will bring you my favorite links and some questions to think about.
Each entry will begin with a spoiler rating of 1-3.
A 1 rating, which I’m fondly thinking of as “Jess level,” will contain absolutely no information that isn’t explicitly spelled out by episodes which have already aired. Basically: if it hasn’t happened in an episode of LOST, it’s not discussed in the entry. No quotes from Damon and Carlton, no links to entertainment websites which confirm that so-and-so has agreed to appear in the final season.
A 2 rating might have a bit of spoiler-y info, but only that which is considered standard knowledge. For instance, the fact that Damon and Carlton prefer the events of Flight 815 to be considered “flashsideways” rather than “alternate reality.” If it was said on Jimmy Kimmel or on Damon’s Twitter, it’s fair game for a 2 rating! I will hazard a guess here that the vast majority of my entries will be 2 ratings.
A 3 rating—well, let’s just say that if you see a 3 rating and you keep on reading, you can’t blame me for what you read!
Thanks and welcome!
