"It was a hit series about the difficulties of finding an ending to a hit series. Cuselof had a deadline for years, which should have allowed them to pace out their puzzle’s solutions. Instead, we got cheesy temple vamping and a bereavement Holodeck. It became a show about placating, even sedating, fans, convincing them that, in the absence of anything coherent or challenging, love was enough." Quite a smart analysis, not as negative as that quote makes it sound.

apparently by one of the writers, although I'm not sure a Lost writer would misspell Lapidus. It's a decent if forgiving reading.

some critical reaction. Mixed would be the word.

Interesting stuff.

Darlton interview in the NY Times

No Sawyer/Miles buddy cop show? "HE talks to dead people. HE gives everyone nicknames. THEY fight crime."

pretty big Lost feature in Wired. I'm only part way through but there already some gems, including the painting of the Man in Black.

EW's Doc Jensen considers the Lewis Carroll references in Lost 606, "Lighthouse". Long and rambly but a fascinating example of the richness of allusion that's common in Lost.

pretty good come-down reading after watching the premiere

last part of an epic interview.

good post reflecting on the past few seasons and what the new one may bring.

hell yeah.

fascinating interview for Lost fans, mentioning a new 'premise' for the final season they have been setting up. What is it?

pretty awesome Spanish Lost promo.

definitely some hints as to the direction of the next season

coverage of Lost's Comic-Con panel

ARG elements, yeah?
