Lost vs. Inception: Solving the Puzzle of Ending a Puzzle-Story

By James Poniewozik

SPOILER ALERT: This post totally spoils the TV series Lost and the movie Inception. If you haven’t watched either and don’t want to be spoiled, stop reading. I said stop! Over the weekend, Lost producer Damon Lindelof tweeted his admiration for Christopher Nolan’s new movie: “I wish that someone would break into my dreams and [...]

Lost Discussion Group: Who Lives? Who Dies?

By James Poniewozik

There’s no new Lost tonight; ABC is rerunning “Ab Aeterno” before resuming the series’ run to the finale, so tonight you have extra time to ponder the significance of Richard’s history on the Island, or simply to vote extra times for American Idol. On the Twitter suggestion of regular commenter Chaddogg, then, I’m reviving Lost [...]

Only six more days until The Most Important Day in Human History (the season premiere of Lost), at least until The Other Most Important Day in Human History (the series finale of Lost). To start getting us warmed up for the premiere, I’ll kick things off with an old standby discussion question: What do you [...]

Lost Discussion Group: No Midichlorians!

By James Poniewozik

While I’m otherwise occupied, you must, must, must read the first installment of Maureen Ryan’s lengthy interview with Damon Lindelof and Carleton Cuse as a walk-up to the Feb. 2 final-season premiere of Lost. No spoilers, no plot-heavy interrogation: instead, thankfully, Ryan got the producers to engage in a really thoughtful conversation about storytelling, the [...]

The Lost Supper: Grab a Plate, Help Yourself

By James Poniewozik

The ABC publicity department wants none of us to get any work done today, because yesterday it posted two publicity stills of the cast of Lost re-creating Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper. Bigger versions of the photos (apologies for the right-hand column overrunning them; if I can get it cleaned up while retaining the full-size [...]

Lost Discussion Group: More Mysteries of Lost

I missed this the first time around, but ABC has posted a second installment of its online teaser series, “Mysteries of the Universe: The Dharma Initiative”:
