Happy LOST Anniversary Day (September 22, 2004)!

For those who are reading this and didn't watch the show while it originally aired, the pilot of LOST premiered on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2004. And, if you continued to watch the show beyond that (You definitely should not be reading this blog if you haven't.), you should know that September 22nd is also the date that the crash of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 occurred, as found by Desmond David Hume in the Season Two episode Live Together, Die Alone. Also, if you haven't noticed already, the date and time (September 22nd 2004 4:16 PM) of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 is where I got the name for this very blog.

To celebrate the annual LOST Anniversary, I scoured YouTube for a decent LOST video (Which took forever. Note to YouTube LOST video makers: Using any music other than that of the brilliant Michael Giacchino is a huge mistake.. And, one day, I'll shut my mouth and get around to making my own damn video.), and finally, I came across this..

More Thoughts on "The End" & Entire LOST Series

NOTE: I seriously started writing the following post when LOST ended A YEAR AGO. I kind of needed to take a break from LOST, and mostly this post because it had gotten pretty long (I also forgot about it.). Life kind of got in the way, and I'm just getting back to it now. Please keep in mind that this is how I felt about everything (mainly the awful fan reaction) when it ended, and I'm much more chill about it now. I listened to Bob Marley, because who doesn't like Bob Marley?

Now that I've had some time to reflect on The End and the series as a whole, I've come away with a lot of realizations in hindsight, and some theories as to what I believe actually happened. But, first, I must give some background.

Why did I get into LOST?
Since September 22, 2004, I've been hooked into the story that has been LOST. I remember that summer, always seeing promos for it, because ABC actually did a good job promoting it, which doesn't happen often with any network anymore. I remember thinking how interesting it looked, so I knew I would check it out, at the very least.

LOST: The Beginning & The End

Initial Reaction to "Dr. Linus"

Dr. Linus is a doctor? Didn't see that one coming! This episode was pretty awesome, though not as high-paced as I had anticipated. It was a very strong character episode, regardless of the pacing. Well, until the last two seconds when everything is all well and nice and everyone's hugging, and then the cheeriness is all blown to hell when Charles Widmore shows up to the party. Dude always has to ruin everything that's fun. Will he go on a baby killing tour around the island? Well, considering there are no longer any babies on the island at the moment... maybe he'll re-kill Claire's squirrel baby. That thing is the only thing that's more of a mood-killer than Widmore. But, I guess we'll only find out what his deal is in the weeks to come (Though probably not next week because they always like to do that to us. Grrrrr!). Enough chatter, let's get into it, Dr. Linus...

The Crash of Oceanic Flight 815 in Real Time

Happy Anniversary Oceanic Flight 815!

Happy Five Year Anniversary to the Crash of Oceanic Flight 815! I can't believe it's been five years since September 22, 2004. And now we're entering the Final Season of LOST. I just can't believe that it's gone by this fast. It's a little bittersweet now, as I'm looking forward to watching the Final Season, and finally knowing the ending of this show that I've invested so much time in, but, at the same time, I don't want it to end and I know that I'll be sad when it does. Before getting too sentimental over a television show, I just would like to say to the creators, writers, directors, actors, editors, musicians, and all of the crew from LOST, you do a wonderfully fantastic job putting out an intelligent, thoughtful show that has taught me so much and changed my life in as many ways as a television show can. Thank you.

If you don't believe me, check his phone records. Would you like to know the--the strangest thing about all this, Mr. Shephard? My daughter was on your plane, too. She was on flight 8-1-5. (Crying) You were in the air for six hours, probably just a few rows from her and you never even knew she was your sister. (Sighs deeply) she was one of the ones who died when your plane hit the water. (Sighs) Her name was... Claire. (Sniffs) I didn't mean to burden you with this, but... you needed to know.

38. "Listen to me very carefully, John, because I'm not gonna have time to repeat this. You're gonna go into that greenhouse through that hole there. Once inside, you're gonna turn left.

16. "Is this some kind of joke?" Hurley "What are you talking about?" David "4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. Did you do this?" Hurley "Do what?" David "Those are the numbers! Right there! The numbers I won the lottery with!" Hurley "Wow. What--what a coincidence." David "No. No, not a coincidence." Hurley

Notes:

1. The reunion is such an iconic scene that we've all been waiting for since Season 1, and the antithesis of the beginning of the Series, just one that we probably all thought would happen at the very end, not in Season 4. 
   
2. I totally knew who Jack's mom, Margo Shephard, was. She was in White Rabbit.
3. Kate looks around when they get off the plane because she's wondering if someone is there to arrested her.
   
4. Karen Decker was Admiral Cain from Battlestar Galactica. Nice!
5. The plane lands in Hawaii, where they actually film the show.
   
6. Jack can never have Locke be right about anything, can he?
7. Uh, Kate, I don't know if you've noticed, but Jack and Sawyer are always fighting eachother. Mostly over you. You're part of the problem.
8. There is so much information in the Oceanic press conference scene. 
9. Membata is Indonesian for ambivalent.
10. I find it hard to believe that anyone buys that Kate was six months pregnant before she got on the plane.
11. When Sun translate the Korean-speaking reporters question, her parents give her a weird look, this is because they do no know that she can speak English. However, she can kind of just pass that off as living on an island for over 100 days with people who are constantly speaking English.
    
12. The whole story of the Oceanic 6 makes no sense.
13. Naveen Andrews' acting in the scene where he sees Nadia is just outstanding. He blinks his eyes as if he wants to see if he's dreaming or not, and he's too much in shock to even kiss her. That's real. It's not a love-story happy-ending reunion that most television shows and movies have. If that really happened, anyone would be too much in shock to even do anything.
14. You can't fool me, I knew exactly who Noor Abed Jaseem was.
15. Sawyer refers to the barracks as New Otherton, which is Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's nickname for the barracks.
16. From Lostpedia: Hurley's birthday party scene contained the following "Easter eggs": 4 palm trees on the lanai, 8 helium balloons tied by the pool, 15 presents on the lanai table, 16 party hats worn by background individuals, 23 & 42 were the Numbers on the jerseys worn on the 2 boys crossing over the pool right after the DJ was shown.
17. When Hurley's dad, David Reyes, mentions hunting boar on the island, Sayid and Nadia look at eachother as if he knows something in which he shouldn't. This indicates that Hurley has told his dad about the Island, but also that Sayid has told Nadia about the Island, which could mean that he told her everything, and may be why she ultimately died. 
18. Sun is so badass when she goes to stick it to her father. I wish she was like that all the time.
19. Frank says that the boat is the safest place to be. Wrong.
    
20. Jack says that he had a lot of practice with funerals, obviously he means all of the people that died on the island.
21. Jack finding out that Claire is his sister is much like Luke finding out that Leia is his sister in Star Wars.
22. Of course Kate's son is beautiful, Carole Littleton, because he's Claire's son, your grandson!

21. The flash forward, of course.

Notes:

1. There is a theory that the people who Jack saved in the car crash were Rachel and Julian, Juliet's sister and nephew. I think that would be awesome.
2. Rose has the best lines in this finale.
3. Ben's notes in his journal, written by Michael Emerson.
   From Lostpedia
4. Apparently Isabel, "The Sheriff," died in this episode.
5. I hate Ryan. "I got your man?" Shut up!
6. Bernard, you could've at least not told them the complete truth. Sayid told you to shut up!
7. Jack, you love Kate, really? That was just about the worst "I love you" I've ever heard.
8. Again, Jack, out of nowhere there's a secret cash of guns that Juliet knows about, why don't you question this? Couldn't you have used those guns when Jin was using a pistol to shoot dynamite, when the Others were coming to kill all of you?
9. Poor Hurley, but so glad you had a badass moment, dude.
10. HOFFS/DRAWLAR is an anagram for FLASH FORWARD.
11. Reminder, don't mess with Sayid even if he is tied up and on his knees.
12. Tom, Mr. Friendly/Zeke dies, a monumental character from Season 1, the first Other we ever saw, "Only the thing is, we're gonna have to take the boy," In Exodus, Part 2.
13. For the record, I started to figure out this was a flash forward during the opening scene. Don't ask me why or how, but that was my first thought when I saw Jack.
14. Also, when I saw that this was a Jack-centric episode, I seriously considered not watching anymore. I was so frustrated with Jack at that point, I figured either it had to be the best Jack episode ever, or that was it for me. I seriously didn't want to see another episode about how Jack went to Phuket to get Chinese tattoos from Bei Ling. Yeah, I really didn't want to watch another Stranger In A Strange Land, but, turns out it was the best Jack episode, and almost made me cry with happiness when I thought Jack would jump off a bridge or overdose from drugs and alcohol.
15. While Charlie dying was sad, I thought it was done extremely well, and is probably the best death on television, ever. He died a hero, and I'll admit, it makes me cry every damn time.
16. I have so much respect for the writers of LOST for producing such a game-changer in the show. I admire them so much for the guts they have to do almost anything and pull it off.
17. Kate is fine as hell in the future.
