The mania surrounding “Lost” continues. It has emerged that the series finale now holds the record of being the most downloaded TV show in the history of TV. The final two episodes, within 20 hours of appearing online, were downloaded some 900,000 times. Quite a bit, yes. → Read More

Twitter reacts to last night's episode of Lost, the last episode EVER: It was a storytelling Ponzi Scheme

The four reasons Lost will go down in history as a bad TV show

Lost will wrap up this Sunday. It’s about time, too. At least the story is actually ending, rather than drifting along until the show is canceled because of bad ratings. But still, I feel like there are too many loose ends that will not be answered tomorrow. This isn’t a sign of a clever mystery. It’s simply bad storytelling and so I submit to you the four reasons why Lost is… → Read More

The best Lost rant on the Internet

I already made my feelings known about last night’s Lost. It was pure garbage and didn’t answer a damn thing besides the fact that the writers are clearly taking the easy way out. I read a bunch of rants online today expressing the same feeling but this one by Jacob Hall on SciFi Squad is the best. Seriously. He nails it.

A graph: How much sense Lost makes

Last nights Lost episode left me confused, bewildered, and frustrated. I mean, what the hell was that? I was sure I understood 75% of the show’s happenings last week, and while I’m still confident I know how it’s going to end, last night’s episode totally screwed up the show’s continuity for me.

Anyway, that is all. The graph is the post. It’s supposed to be funny and would be if it wasn’t true. → Read More

Open thread: WTF is going on with Lost

John and I are fed up with Lost. We don’t know what the hell is going on anymore. The show is supposed to be wrapping up soon, but each new epsisode presents more questions than it answers. We need some help. Here are our two biggest questions we’re hoping someone can answer.

1: Is island Desmond the same person as alternate-reality Desmond. Like are they of one mind and conscience?

2: What job… → Read More

Lost items to be auctioned

Either you love Lost or you hate it. I don’t think there is a middle ground with this show. True fans might want to get a piece of the show before its gone after the final season this year. The auction company, Profiles in History, released some of the show props that will be auctioned and will be giving a sneak preview at San Diego Comic-Con.

Popular Mechanics magazine shows the "Lost" love

Well, to be fair, pretty much everybody loves “Lost”. I for one am happy that there’s some decent sci-fi on television that won’t be violated and then canceled because of a talking car. Popular Mechanics is expressing their love in their own particular way though. → Read More

ABC fiddling with ‘Lost’ broadcasts, making them harder to capture (read: pirate)

Bad news, “Lost” fans. Well, those of you who download 720p caps of the show. It looks like ABC, per juicy message board rumors, is doing something screwy with the video as it airs in order to fit in more commercials—removing frames after the 2:3 pulldown, that is. So, when cappers convert the video into bite-sized x264 chunks for us, it results in jerky playback. (Dupe frames that are… → Read More

Get into the Lost Season 5 spirit with this fan-made trailer

Oh. My. God. Are you ready for Season 5 of Lost? Are you?!? I can’t wait. Until a few weeks ago, I totally forgot about the show. Then, all of a sudden, ABC started running promos and now I cannot wait for tonight’s season premier. Get yourself into the mood too with this very well done trailer made by a fan. It’s 4:00 of nail biting, stomach wrenching, LOST goodness. I can’t wait! → Read More

CrunchDeals: ‘Lost’ Seasons 1-3 for $58.99

A little personal information about me: I’ve never seen a single episode of Lost. I understand it’s quite popular, though. A co-worker of mine at a previous place of employment was so adamant that I join the Lost-watchers club that she leant me the first season and then asked me every day what I thought of the show. After a month of not even taking the first disc out of the sleeve, I returned… → Read More

CrunchArcade: Preview of "LOST Via Domus" for Xbox 360

I’ve been playing Ubisoft’s “Lost: Via Domus” for a few minutes and so far it’s not too shabby. But, then again, I’m a huge fan of the show so I may be playing favorites. The game begins with you on the plane experiencing the crash from the perspective of survivor of Flight 815. You wake up in the jungle and can’t really remember too much of what happened. → Read More

Secrets from Lost: Something about the black box

Lost, blah blah Ben blah blah smoke monster blah. Blah blah Whitmore blah blah (“NOT PENNY’S BOAT!” said the hobbit) blah blah!

The current record goes to a recorder that, after nine years at the bottom of the Mediterranean, was perfectly… → Read More

LOST's lost opening sequence

http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1739531&fullscreen=1 You watched LOST last night, and it was good. But ever notice there are no opening credits for that show? It’s artistic choice, and we support it. But what if it did? And it was in the early ’90s or late ’80s? It’d undoubtedly be the video above. Kudos to Streeter and his crew at College… → Read More

Lost in-game video: Not Penny's game!

CAV has some video from the upcoming Ubisoft Lost game, which I suspect will be a stinker on the level of TMNT for the NES. However, they do offer up some plot details including a secret “Hot Coffee” cut scene involving Jack, Ben Linus, the Smoke Monster, and Charlotte. It gets weird but near the end but not nearly as freaky as the Desmond/Crazy Jungle Dinosaur love scene near the end. → Read More

Lost satellite phones aren't real, all of the castaways are really dead, go read a book

Hate to spoil it for the battered fans of Lost, but those cool GPS satellite phones that the whoevers from the whatever on the good ship Howsyerfather are using to track each other on the island are not real. “No satellite phone handset that I am aware of has any form of touch screen available to the user,” said a spokesman for Globalstar Inc., a satellite phone network.

As geeks (yes, you’re geeks), you’re likely eagerly waiting for the next season of ABC’s LOST to surface. We’re with you on that one.

In fact, the first incarnation of Gilligan’s Island was as a dark, mysterious drama, just like LOST? It’s… → Read More

Two weeks ago we posted about games we’d like to see based on properties from the BBC, notably Doctor Who.

TV is in a new golden age with some great shows on premium cable channels including HBO and Showtime, as well as basic… → Read More

What do you do when you have a failing TV show with a terrible plot line and you’re losing money on it? Create a mobile game!

For $5 you too can “Help Jack search for dynamite, tend to the wounded, and avoid the black smoke.” Sounds extremely exciting. Other activities include helping… → Read More

The Futurist: Why New Technology Means Better TV

As a general rule, journalists (particularly us of the tech stripe) go gonzo when trying to proclaim something a new “trend.” We take one example of a hit YouTube video and proclaim it to be the death of TV. The stories are usually the same: Lead with an example of a internet video that became part of the geek cultural canon (take the anti-Hillary Clinton/Apple “1984” mash-up video, or… → Read More

iPhone On Lost?! Nope.

Actually no, you’re just blind. Quite a few blogs have been reporting that the iPhone was shown on the failing TV series “Lost”. Look at that screenshot above. Do the icons look similar to the iPhone’s? Sure. But what about the length of that device and the fact that it has a map on the screen? Hmmm, doesn’t look like much of an iPhone anymore. Perhaps if everyone had… → Read More
