Lost has had its share of bizarre moments, to be sure. Some of them have been of the follicle nature (and the inspiration for this poll 🙂 ).

LOST Thoughts : Fringe’s Familiar Flight Facilitator
Last night watching Fox’s “Fringe”, a character who *Spoiler* ……meets his untimely demise by drug endused, psychosomatic butterflies * Spoiler ends* ….. was about to take a flight on board a very LOST-friendly airlines. That’s right…Oceanic Air.
With all the “connections” that have been popping up on shows like “Fringe” , “Heroes” , “Chuck” ,etc., and knowing that the writers, producers and even a handful of actors, appear “interchangeable” amongst them…are these nods to LOST’s greatness…or something more? Just like the theme of Coincidence vs Fate , are these snippets a part of a much bigger story, even spilling over unto opposing networks? Are they merely just “fingerprints” that are left by those who were associated with the show? Or simplier than that…just “winks” to us SuperGeeks 🙂 ? Or is a combo of all of them? Maybe not all of those shows are a part of “the big picture” but one or two?
However it turns out, I like just seeing them. On either a small or grander scale, I don’t think there has ever been a show that has gotten this many “tributes” by as many other shows …especially while it’s still on the air.
Once again, LOST is one of a kind. 😉
LOST Thoughts : Sawyer Nickname Origin #29
Sawyer is having his bandages changed by “Dr.Quinn” aka Jack, , from the wound that Sayid accidentally inflicted on him, post torture (Solitary, Season One).
“Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman” was an hour long drama from the 1990’s on CBS, set in the Old West. Jane Seymour plays Dr.Michaela Quinn, an independant and spirited but “citified” physician, who adopted orphaned children, befriended scruffy mountain folk and fought injustice with nothing but her wits, resting beneath a fancy Hair Do.
In other words….Jack in a skirt 😉 .
LOST Thoughts : Strike Two?
Just as we managed to make it through the Writers’ Strike of last season (albeit, it was with the loss of a few episodes 😦 ), it looks like it might be the actors’ turn. (Yahoo News, Actors’ Strike)
I hope all is settled soon, for the sakes of all who are involved. If not, on the bright side, maybe they WILL do the Red Shirt episode that I’ve been itchin’ for 😉 .
LOST Thoughts : The New LOST S5 Promo
I just finished watching the new promo ABC put out along with the a song by The Fray. I didn’t think that it would have as much Season 5 “scene-age” as it did…. so I got a tiny bit spoiled. But, as usual with LOST, it just had me asking even more questions with just the few snippets that are there.
I was going to post it here. But I figured I’d just put a link to it ( lost-media.com) for those who want to see it. And for those who don’t , they won’t be as tempted by it …. like I was. 🙂
But let me just say….it was … 8) .
Two months and counting…and counting….and counting 😉
LOST Thoughts : LOST on Blu Ray or DVD…
What to do…what to do…what to do?
We are on the cusp of the release of Season 4 of Lost ( December 9th). Now, I have a DVD upconverter 1080p machine. The regular DVD’s look quite smashing through this player. But then, there is Blu Ray.
I have heard so many things about Blu Ray. ” It is the way DVD’s are going”, ” Blu Ray’s the next laser disc. Don’t bother” , ” It doesn’t make that much of a difference. Save your money.” ” Get a Playstation 3 : Games and Blu Ray” , ” Don’t use the Blu Ray player on the Playstation, It can ruin your tv. Just check your manual” AHHHHHHH!!!!
My head is spinning. It has been hard enough to wait for this season to be released without struggling with formats. Do I buy the regular DVD’s and then end up “trading up” for a Blu Ray set ? But there goes more money on a pricey enough situation already… and I don’t even have a player yet ! 🙂
I went through the heartbreak of Betamax. So, you can understand my “apprehension” . 😉
LOST Thoughts : Debby the Polar Bear
Today, Debby the world’s oldest polar bear, passed away at the age of….42. 😦 She lived most of her life in Canada.
But as far as the article is concerned, she never took any field trips to Tunisia. 😉
LOST Thoughts : Sawyer Nickname Origin # 28
During his time of torture, Sawyer tosses out the nickname ” Chico” at Jack . (Confidence Man, Season One) ” Chico” is the Spanish equivalent to the English word “boy” . ( See Sawyer Nickname Origin # 7 )
Or maybe Sawyer knew about Jack’s ” mad skills” on the piano, like famous funny man Chico, from the classic comedy team ” The Marx Brothers”? 😉

LOST Parody : The Juliet Song
This parody is based on the enigmatic Ms. Burke (played by Elizabeth Mitchell) and highlights the internal moral struggles of the Island’s fertility doc….that and I get to sing “Baby” quite a bit . 🙂
(If you would like to hear more parodies, you can find them in the Sidebar under ” Catagories: Lost Parodies)
The Juliet Song
I’m tough but I’m sappy
I’m smart but I’m shy
My sister’s not healthy YEAH!
I hide from my husband
I’m sane but I’m overwhelmed
I gave a male mouse a BABY
What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine
I’ve got one face lookin’ timid
And the other one’s sayin’ ” Get hit by a bus , Ed!”
I feel drunk but I’m sober
From Richard’s swell OrangeAid
I’m tired but I’m workin’ YEAH!
I guess I’m in Portland
I’m here but I’m really gone
I’m now gonna save some BABIES!
What it all comes down to
Is that everything’s gonna be quite alright.
I’ve got one face in my novel
And the other one’s talkin’ ’bout free will
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet
I’ve got one face praising Benry
And the other one’s behind some cue card signs
I’m trapped but I’m focused
I’m green but I’m wise
Tryin’ hard not to steal Claire’s baby
I’m sad but I’m laughin’
I’m sweet but I’m devious
I helped Sun know it’s Jin’s BABY!
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s got me really figured out just yet
I’ve got one eye on The Others
And the other one’s watchin’ Jack play pianoooooooooooo
And what it all comes down to, my friends
Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine
I’ve got one face toward The Island
And the other one’s facing a helicopter

LOST Thoughts : An “It’s About Bunnies” First
Heath Centazzo of ” The LOST Revisited” podcast contacted me about a month or so ago about doing an interview about the It’s About Bunnies blog and all things LOST related.
In just a few hours, we will be recording it. Once it is released, I will be putting a link to it on the site.
I’m a little nervous, so let me go over the basics.
LOST is on The Travel Channel, right? 😉
LOST Thoughts : Happy Birthday, Sawyer?
LOST is filled with lines spoken that are peculiar…ambiguous…potentially rife with multi-meaning. IMO, one of the oddest bits of dialog comes from the Season One episode ” White Rabbit”.
It “looks” like Sawyer had been hoarding what was left of the water from Flight 815. Kate and Sayid decide to lay low for a while then follow Sawyer because” a rat will always lead you to its hole”. Sure enough, Sawyer goes to a frond covered suitcase, buried in the jungle , containing some disaster “discoveries” ( but no water) . He is confronted first by Kate. They have a slight altercation and she lands on top of him. To which, Sawyer exclaims ” I made this birthday wish four years ago”.
Right off the bat, I’m thinking Sawyer’s just being Sawyer with one of his famous “snappy one liners’. But then it just seemed even more awkward than the situation that they just found themselves in. It was a pretty bizarre thing to say to a “stranger” ? And four years ago? Why four?
We find out toward the end of the first season in the Hurleyrific < episode ” Numbers”, that four (along with 8,15,16,23 and 42) is a significant number. But it also is a significant period of time. Life altering things happened to some of the characters “four years ago”, such as Locke< becoming paralyzed and Sun and Jin getting married (any others, please let me know 🙂 )
When I watched ” Through the Looking Glass” for the first time, for a minute, I thought that Jack and Kate knew each other prior to being on the Island. But we soon learn about the “twist” of their post Island meeting.
Will there be a “twist” that reveals that Kate and Sawyer actually did know each other before they crashed? Did something happen between Sawyer and Kate four years earlier, maybe they just aren’t fully “conscious” of it? Is Sawyer having “flashes” of the past, much likeDesmond…or even Daniel Faraday? If he is, I think the writers, much like the character, are keeping it “close to the chest” , like when Sawyer tried to not talk to Sayid about The Whispers 🙂 .
Eh, it’s “food for thought” …. possibly in the form of some very moldy birthday cake. 😉
