This was new... last night? Maybe this morning...
But good thing AICN got around to mentioning it! -
The Fray? Somewhat gay.
-
Good!
-
...but the LOST video footage is even better!
-
anyone?
-
It is a logo for "Ajira Airlines." Weird.
-
Maybe the Oceanic 6 (+ Ben and Desmond) return to the island via Ajira Airlines?
-
You see the subliminal clip of the Tiger Airlines or whatever it's called?
Need, like everything Lost related, to watch this again! -

kinda says it all.... The skies have no limit with our new destinations launching January 21st, 2009. Take an adventure anywhere around the globe and reimagine your world as big as ours. Check back often to discover new ways to get lost in the world.
No Borders, Now Boarding - Ajira Airways.
It's a Friday night and I have a life, kind of, no time to explore this. Save it for Sunday. Also Lost is losing some momentum with their absence as in the "old days" I would be all over a clue like this. Nothing lasts forever I guess. -
It appears.

Good show ..now- I was getting a bit tired of it
-
Really ucky choice, ABC. Hope the check is nice and big. Because this shits all over Lost. Cheapens it.
-
Sawyer misses you. Run home, Jack! Run home...
-
'Cause I kill a lot....not this one though, right? Right?
Threadkilla. -
What...The...Fuck. This is why I love this fucking show so much. The fact that are always thinking and including these interesting things and making the experience so engaging and fun makes it worthy of the devotion people like me have to the show. I don't need the answers right away, like some people who can't be patient enough to be told a story from beginning to end. The level of intrigue and attention to detail is just fantastic.
-
they wrote them selves an out when they added the hatch's shower, but they blew that up......is it january yet?

This doesn't have anything to do with Watchmen, so I don't care.
by johnny smith
Just kidding. Absolutely stoked. I'm upset John Locke didn't call for a recount in this election, because he obviously won the popular vote over both McCain AND Obama.
-
Anyone else remember when Scrubs used that other song by this band in their big dramatic "Johnny C. wants an emmy" episode, and then Grey's Anatomy used the same song in the exact same way like a week later? Good times. BTW, I don't like Grey's, but had to watch that one and then laughed.
-
fuckers
-
Maybe when it follows Lost in January?
-
My god, Do research on the symbolism, hidden messages and secret codes in Shining and you realise Darlton got it all from somewhere, its Kubrick.
S3 Finale had some "kubrickian" camera work. There is a BIG influence, hence your reccomendation for that Kubrick book is well planned
-
Day that never comes?
Maybe not, will remind you of the stalling conclusion over 2 yrs
-
There's also a lot of Alan Moore, Stephen King, "The Twilight Zone" and "The Prisoner" in Lost. So, Moore, Serling, King, McGoohan and Kubrick, five of the giants of sci-fi/fantasy of the 20th century, all wrapped up in one of the best shows of the 21st so far? Yeah, I'm a happy camper.
-
insinuating themselves in there like that - this ain't about YOU! Nobody gives a shit about YOU!
Otherwise, cool!
So that was FARADAY the guy in the yellow Hazmat suit was pointing a gun at - so obviously he DOES get back on the island... It's been so bloody long ago now my memory's a little hazy... it wasn't made CLEAR if Faraday's boat was transported with the island or left behind like the chopper, right?
So I guess this settles it, then... -
I wants it now. January too far.
-
Really. I want to see a decent ad for the show, not some lame, generic band that my 18 year old students like. The one thing that caught my attention - an ass kicking fight between Sayid and Jack? Jack will totally lose that right? The doctor vs. the Iraqi soldier/assassin?
-
Don't forget Philip K. Dick on that list!
-
My wife drug me to see Twilight tonight at a Manns Theater in California and while we were sitting there waiting for the previews to come on (During the local adds, trivia, etc) they showed that Music video. I had seen it earlyer today, but it was awsome watching it on the big screen!
-
and they use THE FRAY? THE FUCKING FRAY? Oh fuck you Walt Disney Co. Oh fuck you.

Never thought anyone could make LOST, seemingly the most badass show ABC has to offer, make it look so pathetic and cheesy. Really? The Fray? This looked like a fanmade video that I can find on youtube. Good job ABC. And you wonder why your promotion dept. couldn't seem to market Pushing Daisies. Fucking assholes. I hate all of you....On a more positive note. Flaming fucking arrows, "Because you left", Others pointing guns, and a weird easter egg emblem. I'M SO READY FOR LOST.
-
"Nail in the Coffin"?
-
start running Lost uninterrupted without reruns. That said, they're idiots for canceling Pushing Daises.Does the guy singing the lame song purposely do so in the slurred and whiny voice? And people actually like to listen to that?
-
The freighter scenes in season 4 were all very obviously Shining influenced. They even acknowledged it when Minkowski asked Michael if he was going to go "All Jack Nicholson" on everybody. Oh yeah, and the way Naomi lot Jack in the first episode was a double back, same way the son lost Nicholson in the end.
-
Watchmen had The Smashing Pumpkins. Even Max Payne got a bit of Marilyn Manson. Who the hell decided to put the greatest television show of all time with... The Fray?Looking forward to the new season but, Christ, I wanna find the person who put this trailer together and then take them apart with just my hands whilst shouting the words to "How To Save A Life" in their face.I have anger issues.
-
Jack and Sayid fighting!
Hurley looks at Sayid lying on the floor, unconscious or worse, dead??Flaming arrow attack on the beach!Desmond wakes up from a bad dream in bed together with Penny.Ajira Airways?Something that appears to be Locke falling from a tree?
-
and woken up late January. Fuck Christmas, I want Lost. NOW.
-
I don't know if someone spoke about it here but the arab/french actor Said Taghmaoui (known for being the young guy in Kassovitz's "La Haine") will be playing the role of "Caesar" in this season.
He made a cameo in "I love Huckabees" and will also appear next year in "GI Joe".
As cliché as it may seem, expect this to be a connection to the Sayid character. -

Fuck you people read more into LOST than Obama's change repetiti
by evilwizardglick
The LOST writers in the beginning MAY have had an overall direction.
Then they started throwing shit out to see what resonated.
Watch My Big Fat Independent Movie sometime. They make many points which relate to LOST.
Pay particular attention to the part about trivia covering for lack of plot.
-
One can wish.
-
I believe that character may be an "other", perhaps the former leader during the time of the Purge. From what's been said in articles I've read (which could all be wrong), his character will be important to the season 6 endgame.

Let me get this STRAIGHT... this season is 22 music videos?
by watertownsurfer
Can't wait till Cher's 'Believe' with the improvised dance sequence by Sawyer and some tribes people. What the hell was going on in this preview? A bunch of people crying and talking on the phone?
-
That's exactly it! I've been searching for a concise way to describe what's wrong with Lost to it's apologists, and that's it. The genius of it is that it fools even the smart people as they can chase their own tails following cryptic allegory and allusions that the show's writers in no way ever intended."...trivia covering for lack of plot." Brilliant.
-
What won't I do for Lost?
-
That woulda freaked out the fans.
-
Ok, so you like symbolism???
Chew on this
Characters from Mortal Kombat;
Baraka - Bald headed "dude of another race" that is kinda a underdog because no one expects him to win the tournament.
Kano - Has been through wars, battles and the like and has permanent injuries from it (his terminator II eye).
Fast forward to the election
Baraka Obama VS John McKano.....
That's pretty Kubrick -
Kubrick
-
but it's just not the good, interesting kind anymore. Now it's full of incredibly forced twists, main characters who have become parodies of themselves, and ramshackle sci-fi bullshit that would make even the worst fanfic writer cringe. Man, I miss the quality of old school Lost. Character and emotion came first, mystery and intrigue were secondary (but still much sweeter).
-
I always forget how much better this show is than everything else on television.
-
Do Jack and Kate not remember that Sawyer, Rose, Bernard, and the newbies don't want to leave the island? The rest of the Red Shirts from the plane, who cares what they want. Sawyer and Rose were the first ones to realize their lives are better on the island and that it's looking out for them. Jack and Kate are going to look like idiots when they finally get back and the people left behind tell them they don't want to leave.
-
So the shot of that hand digging in the dirt and uncovering the hatch? Is that the Swan? If so, I think that might be official confirmation that the island did travel ***************spoiler* back in time *end spoiler******* as has been rumored. What do you guys think?
-
I'm not as much of a fan (if a fan at all) as I was, but 403 and 409 were brilliant... even if Lost becoming the 'Ben Linus' show is a bastardization of everything the show once stood for.
-
Coincidence? Probably.
-
until The Fray is no longer associated with Lost in any way. Good day, sir.
I said, good day sir!! -
right? because it's very crappy
-
And 'Clocks'... and 'Save You' (or something of that vein. I'm confused as to why Lost hasn't teamed up with Coldplay because their does seem to be some overlap between song and content.
-
"Let's go back to the start.."
-
It's a little freaky, actually. :D
-
What a godawful song ... It would be pretty bad mixing in Lost footage with any music video but this ... is ... TERRIBLE. It's like a commercial for Gossip Girl or some shit. I can't get over what a shitty, shitty song that was and what a bad decision to tie into Lost so overtly was. It's kind of like people who can't get over the idea that Lost was or is being made up as they go along. The fifth season and these people are obsessed with this "fact" ... You people need to get out more.
-
What do you mean by this: "even if Lost becoming the 'Ben Linus' show is a bastardization of everything the show once stood for."It sounds like there's actually some original thought there, as opposed to the typical compulsive shit flinging of a Lost TB.
-
This is my personal opinion, but I always saw Lost as a morality tale. Stick people on an Island, see what they can do. That's why I liked S1, because even when it got weird it felt human. Then they introduce Dharma and Ben. The problem there is that introducing technology makes it less a morality tale and more one of those science-fiction, epic mythology shows. Which is cool, but that's not Lost. And it's amplified by Ben. Notice how the show has bent over backwards (in 320 and 409) to posit that Ben isn't such a bad guy. He was responsible for genocide in 320 (because his Daddy treated him bad), but in S4 they change that and allude to it being someone else's doing. He didn't always lead The Others. It bugs me because the show doesn't make excuses for the actions of everyone else - the themes of redemption are such that while characters on Lost (who aren't Ben) do bad things, they're at least recognisable. Michael is an example of this - he gets a raw deal, he can have his son if he kills Ana-Lucia. I don't love that plotline, but it's definitively human and painful because that's his fucking son... but with Ben they seem to want the charismatic villain AND the anti-hero, and it pisses me off. The guy suffers less and less consequence for his actions, leading up to 411 where they, and I could not believe this, have Hurley OFFER Ben a FUCKING TRUCE OF FRIENDSHIP? There was no logic behind that except the writers wanting to keep Emerson onboard. And I think the guy can act, but no... that's not fitting with what Lost started out as.
-
I dug the image of Ben attacking two men and riding away on their animal... but that's not Lost either. I don't know what the fuck they're thinking with Linus.
-
Moneen's "Don't Ever Tell Locke What He Can't Do" (duh, just look at the title), Amberlin's "*fin" (lyric goes: "All we are Lost are you." There's a youtube mash-up video out there), and Foo Fighter's "The Pretender" (Just because it's kind of sweet). As for this tune, it was okay but kind of generic. Sure these guys will have a long and properous musical career like the guys who did the theme song from Friends, Smallville (I saw them open for Zwan once!), and Enterprise.
-
How upset are we going to be when the strike puts off the last season for another year?
-
Did no one else notice Hurley with the giant fucking gun?! How badass is that?! Very, that's how.
-
To be fair, think i remember Jack listening to The Pixies in his SUV last series, which does raise his coolness a couple of degrees.
The Fray are shit though, thank God not made it over to the UK, would get bottled off stage then given a serious kicking by Richard Dawkins if they did. -
Are you serious? Those guys would be given the MBE if they were limeys. Aren't they exchange students with Keane or something.
-
I'm a Brit and actually like them... but there's far better bands out there. In saying that though, Dawkins is a cretin.
-
Yah I don't know why but the idea of Hurley becoming an assassin makes me smile. Even though it runs counter to his character I still must see it!!
-
I get what you're saying but I think it's a mistake to use S1 as the standard. I think with any TV series, you have to allow the show to evolve, but particularly with Lost, it was explicit in the text of the show that this was a mystery; what you think is happening may not in fact be happening. By that measure, I would argue that the first season wouldn't be my first stop when it comes to defining what the show is about.
-
It was like a Grey's Anatomy promo. By which I mean fucking gross.
-
Ben is amazing. How can you say there are no consequences? His adoptive daughter got shot right in front of him because he was too stubborn and self-confident. He's supremely fallable. I LOVE the fact that he's an antagonist AND an anti-hero. Maybe that kind of shades-of-gray characterization doesn't sit well with you, but I think it's brilliant. I might have more problem with it if Ben was the only antagonist on the show, but he's obviously not. Ben's the lesser of two evils. And if you like the show as a morality tale, how can you dislike Ben? He's the definition of a moral conundrum! It's not like he's unaware of how his douchey actions have caused negative consequences. But he does it anyway because of a belief in the "greater good". And what's better, he often reacts emotionally and fucks up, like a well-written character should. I liked the first season a lot, but I don't think the show was truly GREAT until Ben showed up. But like you, that's just my opinion. I acknowledge that I'm a bit of a Ben fanatic. It helps that Emerson is the cat's fuckin pajamas.
-
I agree Emerson is a great actor, but he's still on the show because of that - not because he logically fits into the piece. Ask yourself this, why do the Losties keep him around considering how many times he tricks them?
-
I like to think of him as The Devil; weaving through the lives of those in Lost making little deals and tearing away peoples' souls.I can't think of another character on television that i both hate as a person and yet love seeing on screen.
-
...I have to say, it bothers me how almost everybody I talk to about the episode where Alex is killed seems to think that Ben brought his daughter's death on himself because of some sort of smugness or arrogance (which, granted, is only a handful of people). He was in a pretty impossible situation if you think about it, and I actually think that was one of the few instances where he tried to do the right thing. I love how terrified Emerson sounds when he says "I'm not coming out of this house" because you can tell that he IS afraid of the consequences. But anyway, I actually think Ben represents a part of the show that was prominent in season 1, which is moral relativism. The whole point of the flashback conceit and '-centric' episodes, it seems to me, was to make us understand everybody's perspective.
-
Morality, as you point out, is a huge part of the grand tapestry of Lost. But as RIbbons has pointed out, moral relativism has been inherent with the fabric of the show since the second episode, where we find out that our heroine (Kate) is actually an escaped convict. Lost is the quintessential example of the postmodern characteristic of the "neo-golden age" of television. All the qualities we love about current tv has to do with moral ambiguity and the grey area of good and evil. Even in film, we have 'No Country', 'There Will Be Blood' and most recently 'The Dark Knight'. This has been the dominant discourse of pop culture for the past decade. I will, however, include that this discourse is starting to change. I want to see some happy endings for godsakes.
-
I understand that, but... in 320 Ben kills a group of people. It's an act of genocide. Then in S4, he alludes that he didn't. They intended Ben to be that evil, then decided he wasn't - but the problem is, to me, that's a cop-out. You can't have it both ways, if he's capable of that then he needs to face some consequence for it. It's not morally ambiguous if the writers keep retconning what he's capable of.
-
Oh wait.....
-
...well, for one thing I never thought that Ben masterminded the "Purge" of the Dharma Initiative. I don't know if the writers did or wanted us to think he did, but I got the sense that he still answered to Richard (or someone, at least) at that point. Which isn't meant to detract from all the other things he's done, but again, part of the storytelling structure of the show is to peel back layers of a character in order to make them seem more human to the audience. With Ben I do think the writers are aware that he's already done too much to be completely absolved, and by the time the show is over he'll probably end up being killed or whatever, but I think most of the characters in the show sort of act in their own interests. They're not always as extreme as Michael shooting Ana-Lucia or Ben stabbing Keamy, but the point is that they're not just performing a morality play; how we look at them depends on the situation. And personally, it creeped me out when the show started talking about "good guys" and "bad guys" at the end of season 2, so I'm glad that it sort of moved away from that.
-
Good points. I don't want it to be good vs. bad completely, but I think moral ambiguity has to be based in logic. Remember that we see Ben's flashbacks, but Hurley doesn't... so why would he bond with Ben?
-
I meant in terms of bending the universe to include him. Ben causes such a nuisance to the Losties that it becomes hard to believe they'd keep him around.
-
We'll agree to differ. I just can't see how Hurley would be cool with Libby being killed so Ben could escape.
-
It's what got everyone hooked in the first place!
-
I guess it's just a difference in opinion, I think Ben as a character is a step too far for the show. I'm aware I'm in the minority there.
-
I sort of understand that. But I was amazed Charlie got ONE episode of people mourning for him. Then again, Shannon mourned Boone from 120 to 206, so there's precedent for actually factoring it in.
-
Horrible mainstream Christian Rock! Plus, it looked like one of those crappy home-made youtube vids that keep cropping up, where some yahoo compiles clips from something cool, like Battlestar Galactica, and soundtracks it to something lame and inapropriate, like their favorite Maroon 5 tune, or 'Glorious' by Andreas Johnson.
-
They should have compiled some clips to That song!
-
All I care about is the images, the music obviously bears no clues.
-
Honestly, if you have stuck with it, this is the best its been. Everything needs to go forward. I love the old episodes but this is hitting it far more often.
-
ok we all know the Executive Decision connection, but I recently watched a telemovie (why, I don't know) called Code 11-14 which featured... OCEANIC FLIGHT 816!!

billypilgrimisunstuck mentioned There Will Be Blood, and it occurred to me that as of right now, it's the final word on the culture of the Bush II administration. Not to bring politics into it but now that the financial world is all fucked up it just seems to really have presaged the end of an era. I feel like America in the Bush mold is a lot like Plainview at the end there, "I'm finished".Hopefully the sequel will be better!
-
I seem to remember that in Season 1 that Jin, Sawyer & Locke were all thought to be the myteriously bad guys just like Ben is. But the more that we found out about them in later episodes the more good they looked. Ben has gone through a lot of redemption just like them like Alex being shot and getting beat up a lot. we have also learned about his childhood. Sure theres still a lot of redemption to make for him, but his always trying to do whatever it takes for the greater good in his mind is a lot like Locke. Who knows maybe part of Ben's redemption is also being kicked off the island?
As for Hurley I think that like someone said before, he's just that way. He's easy going Hurley. -
I hate Seinfeld. I know I'm in the vast minority there. So it's cool. At least you're not a Heroes fanatic trying to convince us all that Heroes is better than Lost. Then I'd have to go Ben in the desert on you. Um... verbally. (because threatening someone physically on a message board is beyond stupid, for those of you who insist on doing so)
-
I enjoy Heroes more than Lost. Is it better? Not getting into that, people get too angry. I just look forward more to Heroes than Lost. But in saying that, the best of Lost is exceptional... it just veers between great and absolute naff. There's little middle ground.
-
anybody wanna tell me why that one guy from the Others is always the same age, even in the flashbacks?And remember those two skeletons Jack and Kate find in that cave in the very beginning of the first season? Yeah, betcha that's Jack and Kate in the past.People forget about the old shit they never answer too easily. I blame the island.

Has anyone actually touched Richard yet? How do we know he's corporeal? Could be a Ghost.

... have moved onto the new "in" shows. How could you losers still be into Lost? It's like, so yesterday. Hip, young viewers like JJ Binks are totally into the freshest television programs that all the coolest people watch. You nerds are pathetic. You should see the awesome viewing parties where all the dashing, popular people like JJ get together and watch TV. So glamorous and cutting edge. No old, boring, ancient fuddy-duddy shit like Lost. No. A fifth season? The hippest TV viewers watch half a season of any given show, max. I just can't believe people can look themselves in the mirror and call themselves TV show watchers after any longer than that.
-
YAWN (that yawn wasn't for "Lost" ... it was for the clueless talkbackers who constantly post "People still care about this show?".)
Again YAWN. -
Believable.
-
Anyone with an ironic screenname like JJ Binks "4 prez" has to be on the the cusp of the hippest of trends. Right?
-
...sucked donkey cock.

Not fucking again.

I guess the enormously popular, highly-rated, critically-acclaimed 4th season proved you out. It IS tired and overworked. My half a brain is much wiser now. Incidentally, if you could be bothered for a teensy second, could you do us all the honor of explaining that tired, overworked formula? I guess my half a brain is just overworked.
-
Pure and simple. I could tell him that this is just a TB for a Lost trailer and not an episode and that those still smash a Heroes episdoe TB to bits. I could tell him that this is the third Lost TB in a week and that that might effect the number of posts. I could tell him that the Season FOUR finale TB is still relatively active and hits the top ten occassionally. I could tell him all those things, but it wouldn't change the fact that he's still just a pathetic little asshole of Heroes worshipping troll who's pissed becasue his show is a pitiful abomination.
