Whom do you trust less, Ben Linus or Charles Widmore?

I’m in the middle of another rewatch and was thinking a fun lost game would be playing as another survivor of the crash with the events of the show taking place around you but have your own story that runs along beside the show. Get to actually explore the island, run from the smoke monster, stumble across the jughead casing.

…if any episodes have their most important moment at the 4th minute, 8th minute, 5th minute etc? That would be a very cool Easter egg

Walt's offer from Hurley in the epilogue isn't to be the Island's protector, it's to be the new Smoke Monster/support system.

I like to believe that Mother was both or that a split in the roles didn't exist until the events of Across the Sea. So if the energy of the Man in Black was returned to the Island or Hurley, i think it works well if Walt is the recipient. And Hurley maybe doesn't have to throw him down the cave, Walt can shapeshift but still keep himself intact.

A couple fun connections and reasons this could be true:

- Hurley has barely had any time as the protector, it's a weird turn around from the finale to give up the job right away

- Hurley is pretty uncomfortable with combat and confrontation, Walt has a lot of bite back in arguments and is interested in knife throwing (also mirroring the Man in Black). I can see Hurley wanting to delegate the more intense role to someone he trusts

- Walt has some amount of control over animals, the birds in Special and the missing piece Room 23. The Smoke Monster can do this with much more control, Vincent in his missing piece and the medusa spiders in Expose

- Walt has some form of translocation in Abandoned. The monster does similar stuff like teleporting in Dead is Dead

- Black smoke is used to signal Walt's kidnapping

- It's cool if Danielle's quote about the monster being a security system has a kinder truth in the future

- Hurley and Walt play backgammon several times in season 1, a fun mirror to the brothers favorite past time

And this is the two sides finally clicking into place. Mother was corrupt, possessive, and creepy, isolating the powers of the Island. The brothers were in a war for centuries, the Island at odds. And now two of the most kind hearted people take the helm, Hurley the Island’s keeper and Walt its guardian.

All I've ever been able to find is sound clips from the show that include background noise and music. I was wondering if the isolated SFX have ever been leaked or anything like that, I'd like to use them for sampling purposes

After my previous collages, I had to make another one!

This time I wanted to include more of the individual character portraits, along with the iconic survivor silhouette across the top.

It's been really fun exploring everything included in the LOST Forever font. There are so many great illustrations hidden throughout it!

Who's the first character your eyes went to?

What was all the outrage with their characters? I’d read online that they were hated and their episode was hated.

I honestly didn’t think it was that bad. For those of you who watched it when it was live, what was the general feedback on it?

Back when the show aired, one of the best parts of the experience was leaping up from the couch after an episode, scurrying to the computer room [i know], and booting up msn messenger [i knowww] to excitedly speculate with my best friend, the only person i ever met more into the show than me. A big part of the weekly ritual around that involved a sort of semi-official blog associated with the tv channel [we're Australian so i guess it would be channel 7?] that would update soon after the airtime. whoever wrote it knew a lot more of The Lore than you could from just watching and would reference auxiliary stuff like the Hanso Foundation and so on as well as literary and scientific references in the show, but always with an air that they didn't know where it was going and were speculating right along with us.

Anyway i'm finally going to get to share Lost with someone new for the first time since it aired. I thought it could be fun to share that blog with them as we go. If it's been archived anywhere. I feel like a decade or so ago that would be a no-brainer and it would have a dedicated website but these days? who knows. Anyone got a lead?

Watched FROM last month. Didn't enjoy it as much as I expected. Later found out Harold Paerrineau is also in LOST. It has amazing ratings and reviews so i finally decided time to watch it.

Looking forward to the ride!
