"Although “The New Man in Charge” is the last official piece of the Lost mythos from Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, it’s not the last new story set on the Island. YouTube user ApprenticeA has posted a new video called “The Man Who Brought Us Here,” a six-minute unofficial fan film that was shot entirely on location in Hawaii with familiar sets including the Barracks, the Temple, the Orchid and Hydra Island. Although the acting isn’t exactly top flight, the story features a fun little twist that isn’t perfectly executed, but still speaks towards the idea that further Lost adventures are entirely possible, even after the divisive series finale. If nothing else, it’s nice to see some of the most iconic Lost locations in action again. - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"he Lost season six DVD includes a new 12-minute segment that promises to answer some more questions and tie up some loose ends. Does it deliver the goods? A detailed synopsis of it has popped up online. Spoilers definitely ahead... So the SpoilersLost blog, which got so many inside scoops on the show during its run, has one last scoop. Someone has seen the new DVD extra, called "New Man In Charge." And they've spilled almost all the beans. Ready? Here goes. Apparently, it starts with a "cheesy" scene where Ben visits a Dharma station someplace and tells the two Dharma guys the Dharma Initiative is being shut down for good. The two Dharma guys are both disappointed, and the skinnier of the two asks why this is. Ben spins around and looks at the camera, saying there's a "new man in charge." Then it gets less cheesy as we shift to the beach, where the "new man in charge," Hurley, is hanging out — he seems a lot more dignified and mature than when we last saw him. Vincent the dog comes... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Back on the island, we learn that Hurley can still see dead people, and the person who saw this scene decided not to spoil it all. Apparently, Hurley's conversations with the dead include a discussion of John Locke's connection to the island. And we find out that John Locke's role was supposed to be something very different, before the Smoke Monster perverted Locke's destiny. And it... more... - RAPatton

I'm not terribly worried about being spoiled about this. It only ends once. Everything else is just progress. Sounds pretty cool though, I can't wait to see it. - veo

"Sofia Vergara of Modern Family and Community's Joel McHale took the stage with Television Academy chairman/CEO John Shaffner this morning in L.A. to announce the Emmy nominations. Jimmy Fallon will host the Aug. 29 show from the Nokia Theater in L.A., live on both coasts on NBC." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"Larry Niven's Hugo-winning novel from 1971 has a surprising amount in common with network television's biggest sci-fi hit. But what's really interesting is how Ringworld differs from Lost. Now, the cynics among you might think I'm comparing a classic 40-year-old book to a massively popular TV show that recently ended simply because I hope it will net me more pageviews. But the cynics among you would be wrong. I mean, I do think it'll net me more pageviews, but more important to me is that there really are some strikingly salient similarities between Ringworld and Lost — and at least one crucial difference, a difference worth considering when it comes to the state of popular science fiction today. Let's start with the similarities, though. Ringworld — which, I should mention, won not only the Hugo but also the Nebula and the first Locus Award for Best Novel — tells the story of group of people who crash on a landmass of mysterious origin. Upon further exploration, the landmass turns... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"After four long years of intense research, The Geography of LOST ($15-$160), an actual map of the castaways' island, was born. Available as a Fine Art Print, Framed Print, or Canvas Print, it shows the locations of important buildings and events like The Pearl, The Orchid, the radio tower, the barracks, and the spot where we first met Henry Gale Benjamin Linus." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

"MommyJacking You know, I bet people would buy t-shirts that say, “i am sorry for ur lost.” Because of the show LOST that just ended? Flight 815, Jack, Kate, Sawyer…”Sorry for ur lost”? Get it? Not funny? OK. Sigh. Facebook isn’t an Elton John song, Michelle. The circle of life may be an intrinsic part of nature, but nobody gives a crap what gender your baby is when they’re mourning the loss of a friend. Or, if they do care, maybe you could mention it on something other than the Official Tragedy Thread on their page. You know, like on a Wall post that doesn’t include the words, “very sad,” “R.I.P.” and “I will miss you.” Take your baby brain out of your ass and show some respect. At least have the decency to proofread your comment. “Ur,” really?? It’s 2 letters, people!! Related: Charlie’s Angels and Sad Trombone (submitted by Anonymous)" - edythe from Bookmarklet

"Sounds like Marvel has been reading our fantasy casting list. First it there were the Nathan Fillion rumors, and now the shirtless demi-god Josh Holloway is the newest rumored Avengers cast member. But who should he play? Avenger News was tipped off that Holloway might be popping up in Marvel's giant Avengers film: We received this interesting tidbit about "LOST" star Josh Holloway over the weekend. Apparently there's been talk between Marvel and his group to play a "lead" role in an upcoming Marvel film. We mention a "lead" role because these bigger actors often won't sign "retainers", meaning everything should be 100% locked (character, film, etc) for Josh once he's signed the dotted line." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

although it seems weird to me that Captain America is going to be played by the youngest actor with the least presence. That's not how I think of Steve Rogers. - Jason Toney

Make sure you watch it in glorious HD. It makes all the difference in the world. - Akiva

"A while back we told you about artist Ty Mattson's rather stunning, gorgeously retro Lost-inspired art, created in part as invitations for a Season Six premiere party. Apparently we're not the only people who dug 'em: ABC is now selling merchandise featuring Mattson's designs in its official Lost store, including silkscreened prints, t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, mugs, mousepads, even skateboard decks. Looks like even showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are getting in on the act..." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"As Christian Shephard explained at the end, the alternate timeline, in which Oceanic flight 815 lands safely in Los Angeles, is a purgatory, a collective dream, mutually created by the souls of the castaways (and a few close outsiders, like Penny), a way for them to rediscover each other before moving on to the next spiritual plane. It's also a place for the characters, all of whom have heavy baggage (and not the kind you pick up at the carousel), to let go. (Which is why those characters not ready to let go, like Ben or Michael or Ana Lucia, didn't end up in the church at the end.)" - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

This article mirrors my exact thoughts on the Lost finale. - Simon Curran from Bookmarklet

There's no excusing the fact this ending would fit on any show, or story. The usual copout is it's about the characters, but ultimately it had nothing to do with any of them more than it does anyone else that's ever existed. - Richard Lawler

"There are lots of ways to feel about a finale: pleased, peeved, betrayed, bemused. Charlie Jane Anders already gave us her perfectly valid, less-than-happy take on the Lost finale — but I kinda swung with it. It's easy to ask a lot of a finale to a series you've stuck with for years. You want that time to have meant something, you want those endless hours of watching and debating and theorizing and cringing to pay off — to amount to something more than simply that time spent. Especially with a show like Lost, which had so much ephemera to collate, so many plots to follow, so many characters to attend to. You want it all to mean something." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

"But where "The End" didn't provide the long-sought narrative resolution, it came through with an emotional resolution that, in the end, proved satisfying. To me, anyway. As with any narrative enterprise, what pulls you through are not the plot machinations or the devilishness of the twists: it's the characters. Long-form storytelling relies on the audience forming a bond with the... more... - RAPatton

We still have the last chapter to watch tonight, but I think LOST is the closest thing to a cohesive visual telling of a novel-style literary storyline that popular media has ever produced. The entire show is clocking in at just under 100 hours of actual hard visual narrative. It has a very definite beginning, middle and end stretched across 6 seasons. Literary storylines are never properly told visually because they take too much time to tell. Two to Three hours isn't even close to enough time for tv/film viewers to get to know the characters of a novel. However, LOST really had a chance (and the vision) to meditate on it's characters at length while providing a compelling, chaper-based, storyline. - veo

I'm on the flip side of that, veo, but yes. I think there are several shows that do accomplish this, but most haven't achieved the level of popularity that Lost has (Life on Mars, Babylon 5) or are either airing only in countries other than the US, or for a very targeted audience (most anime, J/K Dramas). - Jennifer Dittrich

"Honestly, the show ended the only way it could have possibly ended. It was emotionally satisfying while some of the questions were answered and yet others will remain a mystery. All in all, the show was wrapped up rather nicely with a positive affirming kind of message." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

I thought the final images were perfect. - Brent

"NEW YORK—Desperate fans of the recently concluded television series Lost are speculating that the program is continuing on in a parallel dimension somewhere, and that alternate versions of showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are currently writing new episodes of the series. "It's very possible that a sideways world running concurrent to our own exists, and that a facsimile of myself is happy, fulfilled, and already gearing up for the season seven premiere of Lost," said 36-year-old Kevin Molinaro, who, along with more than 20 million other hopeless fans, has recently booked multiple roundtrip tickets from Los Angeles to Australia in hopes of traveling through a vortex in the space-time continuum. "I just have to find a way to get there. We all do." According to data from Google analytics, searches for "How to build/detonate/use a hydrogen bomb to open up a multidimensional wormhole" have increased 10 millionfold since the episode aired" - Richard Lawler from Bookmarklet

"One of my favorite books of all time is "Watership Down." In that story, the main action of the book ends with around 20 pages left. (It's here that I'll warn you there are spoilers for "Watership Down" ahead, but the book is almost 40 years old. C'mon.) The rabbits who have come to Watership Down to make their home have survived an incursion by the borderline fascist General Woundwort, and everyone is safe for a little while. It's a lovely scene, but it's made even more moving by the short epilogue, set in an undetermined future. The book's hero, leader Hazel, has grown old and is enjoying one last summer among all of those for whom he built a world worth living in. Which is when El-Ahrairah, something like the rabbits' folk hero and/or god, arrives to take Hazel away to what's after, not a rabbit Heaven, not exactly, but definitely a place where there will be less pain and less worry. The final sentences are elliptical, suggesting more than showing, creating something that is and... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

" What I most love about "The End," what I suspect will bring me around to loving it completely in due time and in the end, is the fact that it suggests that all of this is part of a continuum, that we will live again, not in a place where all is transformed by deeply felt religious faith or by being a better person than someone else, but in a place very much like this one, surrounded... more... - RAPatton
