Lost Thoughts

Now that I’ve had some time to digest this whole Lost season finale, I give you some questions and some thoughts: Locke is dead. So who is the other guy portraying Locke? Was it the Smoke Monster? Was it that guy we saw at the beginning of the finale last night? Hmmm. What did Richard […]

The First Lost Season 6 Promo

I’m still coming down from the season finale. I hope Juliet isn’t dead. I’m reading that fans are saying she’s dead. I don’t think she is. I thought when Juliet went down the hole that she was, but it was she who set off the bomb, or so we think. Here’s what we saw at […]

24: Jack's Kills Through Season 7, Hour 15
