"LOST": A Retrospective

I wrote this ARTICLE about "LOST" and the series finale.

(post your pictures in the comments)

Previously, on Lost:
Goodbye to all my friends at home,
Goodbye to people I've trusted,
I've got to go out and make my way,
I might get rich you know I might get busted,
But my heart keeps calling me backwards,
As I get on the 707,
Riding high I got tears in my eyes,
You know you got to go through hell,
Before you get to heaven,

Big ol' jet airliner,
Don't carry me too far away,
Oh big ol' jet airliner,
Cause it's here that I've got to stay...

Previously, on Lost: Sawyer screwed the pooch on the sub, sabotaging Shephard's straight-shooting speech and subsequently sending Sayid towards suicide. The sub shook and shimmied and Shephard saved Sawyer, while Sun and her suitor sucked seawater and said sayonara. Shephard and the sole survivors soon sobbed.

This week, on Lost: As many a time before over the past six seasons, we open on an eye. Jack's, to be exact. We soon see that he's not waking up in a jungle, or trapped inside a Dharma aquarium, or bearded and hopped up on goofballs. No, this is AlternaJack, and he's got quite the life, now. It's morning in LA X, and Dr. Shephard makes his way to the bathroom. Once there, he notices something very peculiar, indeed.

JAMES "SAWYER" FORD AND THE ART OF ILLUSION

Following my viewing of (6.14) "The Candidate", I wrote this ARTICLE about Sawyer.

( Another YEAHHHH!!!! )

I'll just leave this here:

Retcon - "Retroactive Continuity" v. to retroactively revise (a plot, storyline, character, event, history, etc.), usually by reinterpreting past events, or by theorizing how the present would be different if past events had not happened or had happened differently. See: Crisis on Infinite Earths; Wolverine's bone claws; Greedo shoots first.

"WHO ORDERED THE PURGE OF THE DHARMA INITIATIVE?"

With the end of the series only about four episodes away, I decided to dig up an old mystery that has yet to be solved. I wrote this ARTICLE about the DHARMA Initiative Purge, featured in Season 3's (3.20) "The Man Behind the Curtain".
