So a while back I was noodling on the idea of just what had gone on on the Island in between the Oceanic 6’s rescue and Jeremy Bentham’s return to the mainland. More specifically, I was wondering how much could have happened in the space of—what was it, three years?—and how the writers could compress all that story in however much …

So Locke is dead. Or “dead.” Or… do we need to coin an adjective for the sort of dead-but-possibly-not, well-maybe-actually-dead-but-nonetheless-having-a-big-part-in-the-story state of being that is becoming common on Lost? Dëd, maybe?
In any case, we can all agree that the producers will not be foolish …
So I’ve had a couple weeks to digest the finale now, and I’ve got to be honest with you: I’m not sure I’m liking the frozen donkey wheel. Not the “frozen donkey wheel” in the metaphorical sense, as the code for the surprises in the season finale. I mean the wheel itself, which was in fact frozen. I need to go back and watch that scene …
Taking up Chaddogg’s suggestion from last week’s Lost Discussion Group, I’ll raise the same question I did at the beginning of last summer’s LDG: Where do you think the next season of Lost will kick off?
You can answer as generally or specifically as you want. For instance:
* What’s the first scene of Lost, season five, episode one? …
It’s been a week since the Lost finale, which makes this an opportune morning to relaunch the summer Lost Discussion Group. I don’t have a topic for you, but I have a good reason for that: I forgot.
But I’m going to spin that as a good thing, because maybe the best way to kick off is simply to re-evaluate how the season 4 finale looks …
In an interview with TV Guide, Harold Perrineau, plainly ticked off that his character Michael was killed so soon after his return to Lost—”What the hell? I came back for that?”—suggests that not letting Michael reconcile with his son Walt plays into a racial stereotype:
TV Guide: Were you disappointed Michael and Walt didn’t

I don’t have a discussion topic for you. Except for this one: LostLostLostLostLost! OMG Lost finale I can’t stand it!
Anyway, if you’re like me, you need some sort of outlet for your nervous Lost energy today, so consider this a warmup area for tonight, to throw out any …
Happy Day Before Lost Day! Consider this a thread for any theories, thoughts, restless anticipation, etc. , but I thought I’d kick off discussion with a question that’s bugging me as we go forward to the finale: What becomes of the four Freighties?
The stories of Daniel, Miles, Charlotte and Frank hardly seem finished, and we’ve …

In the magazine business, we have a thing called “lead time.” It means that many of the pieces you read in a print magazine like Time—especially anything not having to do with breaking news—gets written and put to …
Happy Not-Lost Day! With one week until the two-hour finale, this seems like a good time to kick around your speculations about what the last episode of season 4 will bring.
Take it in whatever direction you want, but here’s a kickoff question. How the Oceanic Six get off the Island is obviously a big question hanging out there. But …
According to Lostpedia there are—as will inevitably happen—season-finale spoilers floating around out there. I almost don’t want to post about this at all, because Tuned Inlanders are reliably great about avoiding spoilers and nobody (as far as I know) has posted anything like that here. That said, since we’ve got to weeks to wait …

SPOILER ALERT: Before you read this post, enter the greenhouse through a hole, find the patch of anthuriums, flip the switch behind them and watch last night’s Lost.
