Who We Want to See (and who we don’t want to see) in the Final Season

By Annie

There are so many rumors, speculation, and announcements about which of our favorite Losties will appear (in many cases this means re-appear) in Lost’s sixth and final season. There are a few obvious favorites and some who we don’t like so much. But sometimes it can be hard to keep track of all the Lost talk. So here’s a short summary of who we want to see, don’t want to see, and who has been confirmed as appearing in the final season of Lost.

1. Charlie Pace

If you read this blog at all, you should know that we love him and obviously want to see him back in Season 6. His tragic but triumphant death scene left us wanting to see as much of Charlie as possible (and aside from a few Desmond flashbacks and Hurley hallucinations, we’ve been seriously disappointed). Luckily, we’ll be seeing more of him this year. Dominic Monaghan is scheduled to appear in four episodes in Season 6.

2. Claire Littleton

What happened to this girl? One day she was a new mother struggling to care for her son on a deserted island, and the next day she takes off to hang out in a weird cabin with her estranged (and supposedly dead) father. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of Claire, she really needs to come back this season just so we can find out where she’s been. Luckily, Emilie de Ravin will be returning to Lost in Season 6.

3. Daniel Faraday

Who doesn’t love this guy? Yep, Jeremy Davies is back, and so is our favorite physicist!

Status: Confirmed

4. Boone Carlyle

Boone was “a sacrifice that the island demanded,” but that doesn’t mean that he can’t return as a weird ghost/apparition/whatever. Apparently the producers agree, since Ian Somerhalder and his eyebrows will be returning in Season 6 for several episodes.

5. Shannon Rutherford

This annoying blonde overstayed her welcome in the first two seasons if you ask me. All the whining and complaining was just a bit much for me, and I’d really rather not have to deal with it in Season 6. Luckily, Maggie Grace has a busy schedule and has not been able to confirm her appearance.

6. Charlotte Lewis

Oh Charlotte, your eyes creep me out and your accent is annoying. Furthermore, you take up way too much of Daniel Faraday’s attention. I’d rather not see you in Season 6, but unfortunately I’ll have to. Rebecca Mader has confirmed her appearance.

Status: Confirmed

7. Libby Smith

One of the biggest questions I want to see answered in the final season is what happened with Libby in the mental hospital. She never had any flashback episodes, so the only time we saw her there was through Hurley. Now it’s time for some answers. And Cynthia Watros is returning to Lost, so hopefully we’ll get some backstory.

Status: Confirmed

8. Michael Dawson

Michael has had a lot of ups and downs throughout the last five seasons. My feelings about him are mixed, and I’m sure many of you feel the same way. But Harold Perrineau is returning in Season 6, so we’ll be seeing more of Michael.

Status: Confirmed

9. Walt Lloyd

Walt is “special.” We don’t know why he is special or what makes him special, but I’d really like to find that out. Producers have stated that they would like to bring Walt back, but they are working on a way to overcome how much Malcolm David Kelley has grown since his last appearance.

2. Have someone take a bite, then tell them it’s a baloney sandwich
3. Make up a whole bunch of other shit, then say you had planned it all along
4. Buy a few yachts

Sadly, I can’t track down the original author so if anyone has any leads, let me know so credit can be given.

8 days and counting…

Season 6 Must Be The End!

By Katelyn

As posted earlier, the creators of Lost can no longer guarantee that season six will be the end of Lost.

At first I was really excited at the thought of more seasons, a spin-off television show, or even an action packed, multi-million dollar movie deal.  But the more I’m pondering the idea, the more I hope it doesn’t happen.

Lost has evolved into this complicated and intense storyline that only the strong have endured over the last five seasons.  I am so proud that I have survived the journey from the beginning and I often feel over-protective of the show.

I am afraid that if season six is not the end then Lost will be exploited and everything we love about it will be ruined.  It will be just another mass media, money maker that serves no other purpose.

Plus, I do not with to discuss Lost theories and story lines with the inevitable newbies who think they are “experts” because they saw the movie but skipped the first six television seasons.

Season 6 must be the end… unless there’s a seventh season!

How To Past The Time (Without Time Travel)

By Katelyn

Only 11 days until the season premiere of Lost! Season 6 is finally within reach and I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!

I’m assuming there are a lot of people out there, like me, that would kill for a way to fast-forward the next 11 days.  After reading A Brief History of Time, I am still no closer to understanding how to manipulate time.  If only we knew the secret to Lost and its time travel!

Since we are unable to dislodge our selves in time, I have found a lot of Lost craft ideas that should be able to keep you busy for the next 11 days!

Print out these Dharma food labels and transform your kitchen into a Dharma Station.

Charlie's "Fate" knuckle cuffs (knitted).

Make a Lost themed cake and invite your friends over for a Lost marathon!

Make an Oceanic Airlines luggage tags for our next journey.

Make some "numbers" inspired jewelry like this necklace by silverbugsjewelry on Etsy

Not feeling too crafty?  Here are some cool things you can purchase through Etsy…

vinyl Dharma logo for MacBooks by lildecalshoppe

There are also some really funny and creative Lost products for sale on Zazzle.  Here are a few of my favorites but to check out the rest click here.

I hoped this post gave you some ideas and will help you keep your sanity for the next 11 days!

We have permission to be annoying…

By Katelyn

This video was posted by The Onion and I know they are trying to make fun of us Lost fans, but I personally love it.

I suppose we can get a little annoying with our theorizing and detailed play-by-plays but our friends just need to hang in there for another season.  I’m just glad that society is becoming more aware and understanding of our Lost obsession.

View Video Here:Final Season Of ‘Lost’ Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever

What I’m confused about is whether or not the “news” given is actually real.  Will we really get to see Ben on another island in a different time period?  Do we really have to do some crazy math puzzle to figure out who’s eye that is?

The Onion definitely didn’t hurt our feelings with this fake newscast, instead they just fueled more questions.  And they have given us permission to be annoying!

Lost’s final season might not actually be the end

‘LOST’s final season might not actually be the end
January 6, 9:08 AMDallas Pop Media Examiner | Sean Easley

The creators of LOST have said for some time now that the show had a definite endpoint, and that the story would come to a satisfying conclusion. Such a revelation has given fans and viewers hope that LOST would not become an overly promotional franchise, and that, like a good piece of literature, it could stand on its own merits apart once all was said and done.

However, the creators of LOST have finally admitted that, even though their story will have a definite and complete denouement, there is always the possibility that ABC/Disney will bring LOST back in the form of another show, or a movie, or other unforeseen manifestation.

According to Lindelof and Cuse (in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter), the LOST franchise is now worth too much to let it rest forever untouched:

Cuse: The Walt Disney Co. owns “Lost.” It’s a franchise that’s conservatively worth billions of dollars. It’s hard to imagine “Lost” will rest on the shelves and nothing will ever be made with “Lost.” Eventually somebody will make something under the moniker of “Lost” — whether we do it or not. We just made a commitment to this group of characters whose stories are coming to a conclusion this May.

Lindelof: Somebody made a sequel to “Gone With the Wind.” Sometimes the franchise transcends the storyteller. The definitive edition of “Lost” ends this May on ABC, and that is the story that we have to tell. It has a beginning, middle and end. That ending will not have cliffhangers, or be set up in such a way that people will be saying, “Clearly they’re going to make more of these.” We don’t have any connection to another TV series or movie, but there’s a new “A-Team” movie coming out, for god’s sake. This is a business that thrives on known commodities. “Tron” is the most buzzed-about Disney movie for next year, and it has been gathering dust for 20 years. I cannot imagine there will not be something with “Lost” on it involving smoke monsters and polar bears and time travel.

For many LOST fans, this possibility is frightening. The hardcore fans do not want to see their franchise be misused or watered down by those who only want to capitalize on a successful franchise. On the other hand, there may still be great stories that could come out of the world of LOST, and this could be the start of something much greater than even its creators imagined (in the vein of Star Wars and similar franchises). Only time will tell.

‘Lost’ Disney Attraction

Found: ‘Lost’ Petition for Disney Attraction
By Claudine Zap, Y! Buzz | Tuesday, January 5, 2010

That is, if some hardcore fans of both the happiest place on earth and the weirdest show on TV have anything to say about it. A petition for a “Lost” island attraction to replace Tom Sawyer Island has gone viral on the Web. It is making the rounds among those feeling a sense of, well, loss, at the idea that their beloved TV show will go dark as of May 2010.

So without word of a “Lost” movie in the works and looking at a grim future minus the completely engrossing world of plane crash victims stranded on a tropical island, fans’ last hope is the Big Mouse. After all, Disney is the parent company to the ABC network, which airs the series. So, why not take over the sadly outdated mash-up of Tom Sawyer and Pirates of the Caribbean and imagineer something rabid obsessive lovers of “Lost” would actually appreciate?

The wishful thinkers behind the petition are making it easy for Disney: As the OC Weekly points out, the organizers even suggest components to the ride, including ruins, a smoke monster, Jacob’s cabin, and a submarine ride. Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into this plea to let “Lost” live.

It’s not a completely crazy idea, either. No offense to the American icon who ruled the Mississippi on a raft, but that’s not even retro cool. That’s just plain out of date. More puzzling, the Tom Sawyer Island is now shared with Pirate’s Lair and, these Disney 2.0 types argue, the whole thing could use a refresh. Maybe Disney would be open to a social-media inspired attraction attached to one of their amazingly successful TV shows.

Sound like something you’d enjoy?  Sign the petition! We did!
