A quick note to the curious few who listen to “The Forward Cabin” and its spoilers… “LOST” production has resumed in earnest this week and I’ve just posted a short note and several photos from an impressive location shoot in Honolulu. I won’t be posting filming updates here at “The Transmission” very often, so be sure to bookmark Hawaii Blog if you crave them. If you don’t, pretend you didn’t see this and blame Locke’s brain paste.

“The Other Woman” gave us an island flashback, and a little more insight into the pre-crash world of the Others. Charles Widmore is officially tied to the freighter, Ben’s creepiness leaps into another dimension, and Hurley is feeling lucky. But we still don’t know who Ben’s man on the boat is, and considering how much the writers are clearly trying to milk that particular mystery, I’m beginning to think we’ll be downright mad if it is Michael. We will allow that “The Constant” was a tough act to follow, but as huge fans of Elizabeth Mitchell, it’s a pity “her” episode reduces her to fretting and catfighting. And for all the jumping around we did, it didn’t feel like we got very far. [Tell us what you thought! Comment or call (808) 356-0127.] Read the rest of this entry »

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the Feb. 28 episode, “The Constant” (Episode 4×05). After reviewing “LOST in Eight Minutes” (okay, nine minutes), we take a closer look at the story.

Finally, we step into the Forward Cabin to discuss the synopsis and location shoots for next week’s episode.

Only writers as brilliant as those behind “LOST” could give us an hour of television like this. No other episode has gone as far as “The Constant” in giving us a look at some fundamental theories behind the series, and yet at the same time pack an emotional wallop that reminds us that it’s the characters, not the mysteries, that are at the heart of the show. The truly mind-bending realizations Desmond has as his consciousness jumps between 1996 and 2004 will probably give us weeks of material to dissect and analyze. But, honestly, all I wanted to do was watch that final phone call between him and Penny over and over again. Read the rest of this entry »

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the Feb. 21 episode, “Eggtown” (Episode 4×03).

Finally, we step into the Forward Cabin to discuss the synopsis and location shoots for next week’s episode.

Tonight’s episode wasn’t as dense or thrilling as weeks past, but it still closed with a single word, a single name, that scored a palpable hit. Aaron, Claire’s baby, is one of the Oceanic Six… but calls Kate mommy. And so my head spins with possibilities. Kate must be claiming Aaron as her biological son, hence her refusal to let her mother see him. The rest of the Oceanic survivors must also be keeping Aaron’s true parentage secret. And something must have happened to Claire, as seeing her son is apparently too much for Jack. Read the rest of this entry »

Another fantastic episode. And the details are almost as exciting as the overall pace “LOST” is keeping. This season is no leisurely stroll (you hear me, season two?). This show is now lean, mean, and likely to leave you dizzy. You’ve got the island mysteries (the 31 minute time discrepancy and the significance of bearings used to come and go). You’ve got the double double-crosses, the chess-like strategies, the cloudy motivations. You’ve got another flash-forward with a mind-blowing climax.
And oh my god, the truth finally comes out. My wife, Jen, the eye-rolling cynic who has insisted since day one that she’s all about the mysteries, finally outed herself tonight as a squealing, giddy Skater. Who knew? Read the rest of this entry »

This episode of “The Transmission” follows the Feb. 7 episode, “The Beginning of the End” (Episode 4×02). We once again take the “LOST in 8 Minutes” challenge, then take a closer look at the story. Who are the “Freighties” and what brings each of them to The Island? What do their names mean? Why does so much of what we’re seeing now seem familiar? And what was the deal with that cow? Then, we turn it over to You All Everybody, where the real genius emerges. Finally, a very short visit to the Forward Cabin.
