The ODI

Yup it is true! Seems like an online betting site has put up some odds on what will happen in LOST and you can actually bet on the odds.

The main article talks about whether the Man in Black will escape the island and has pretty good odds at 4/7. So for every $7 you bet you can win $4. Not that good of a return if you ask me. However there are a few other fun bets like "Will Richard Kill the MiB?" and "Who Will Kate End Up With?"

So both mythology fans and shippers can join in on the fun.

NOTE: I searched the sites for where to bet but could not find them, but below is the article with the breakdown.

The MIB has killed off several characters throughout the years. The Man in Black's most notorious ability is that of manifesting himself as a giant dark cloud, often described as looking like smoke. The Monster appears immune to conventional weaponry, but was repelled on one occasion by dynamite. The Man In Black has several weaknesses, ranging from water and ash circles to Banyan trees.

The MIB became "trapped" on the Island at some point. Since that time, he constantly tried to escape and "go home". The Man in Black believes keeping him on the Island is pointless because darkness is common to all humanity. The island constantly seems to prove The Monster wrong by presenting people that know the difference between right and wrong.

Will the man in black (MIB) get off the island?
Yes 4/7

Will Richard kill the MIB?
Yes 5/9

Kate ends up with:
Sawyer 1/1
Jack 6/5
Neither 10/11

Hey All,
What a crazy and fun week! This week's Episode 6x09 Ab Aeterno was filled with all sorts of awesomeness!

Of course some of you know after last week's episode I had a moment to chat with Damon Lindelof and in that podcast I mentioned we had scheduled EW's Jeff Jensen again. However, because of some technical recording issues we had to reschedule and if all works out ok, he will join us later this week.

However, we were still able to get a guest to join us and it was fellow LOST blogger Jo from Jopionionated. Jo not only has her own blog, but also announced just today she is now officially writing for AOL TV! So congratulations to her!

Jo joined us for the first time and learned very quickly about some of the crazy thoughts and theories we have on the podcast. We did chat with her about her experiences writing about LOST, visiting the set of Fringe and V and of course we all recapped the wonderful moments in Ab Aeterno, such as Richard's crazy laugh, his love Isabella, the interaction of Richard with both the MiB and Jacob, the reveals of the Black Rock smashing into the 4-Toed Foot and much more!

We also seemed to really get stuck on the possibility that Jacob and MiB are one in the same person and perhaps have a split personality. Think we are crazy?? Well listen to the podcast to find out HOW crazy!

This podcast was posted to iTunes earlier, but below is an audio player and download link for you all to enjoy!

Hey All,
I know a few of you did not think this past week's episode of LOST was as good as others thought, but you were in a big minority as most fans felt that it was amazing and one of the better episodes we have seen.

The fan polls ranked this episode very high and just slightly below the The Constant making it the second highest ranked episode.

The blogger/media sites agreed with the majority as several of them gave A++++!

As always the additional "+" symbols are to show how they really felt but only count for one "+".

What more can I say, I loved seeing Richard's flashback, Nestor Carbonell's acting was awesome and and any Jacob and MiB interaction is always a plus. Of course the writers gave us several answers including killing two birds with one Black Rock, explaining how the ship got to the center of the island and what destroyed the 4-toed statue.

Quote of the Week via Anna (FourToedFoot.com): Can I do A to the 15th power? It was as emotional as the Constant, as mythical as Cabin Fever, as shocking as The Man Behind the Curtain…I could go on through all of the BIG episodes we have of the series. There are not many who seem to have NOT added this to their “top-episodes of all times” lists. Especially when we have been given NOTHING about this character but little spurts and hints…the fan buildup was phenomenal and I have to agree it met and surpassed my expectations.

Honorable Mention - Best Use of the Letter "A": 'A' is for Admirable Amazing Astonishing Awesome Ab Aeterno Alpert.

Happy LOST Day All!!

Last week's Ben-Centric episode was filled with some nice surprises both off and on island with Ben being redeemed. Michael Emerson's emotional portrayal of a broken down Ben was awesome and the return to the Black Rock with Richard, Jack and Hurley provided us with some revealing answers.

As always we recap and analyze every moment of the episode.

The podcast was posted to iTunes earlier today, but for those that do not have iTunes you can use the audio player or download link below.

Hope you all enjoy!

Hey All,
Once again thanks to all of you that have waited patiently for this second part of the finale podcast and thanks to those of you that sent in messages, posted comments or Tweeted wondering where it was!?

Well in the mean time another few weeks have passed in this loooonnng hiatus, but as promised we will keep doing our best to help you all through the withdrawals!!

The initial plan was to break this part of the podcast in to two shorter versions, but since we had taken so long to get it out to you guys I decided to just make it one Super-Sized Podcast of over 3 hours of LOST goodness!!

In the podcast, we cover the Sun/Jin Wedding, Jacob meeting Ilana, and all the great scenes in the 2007 timeline.

As requested by several of you to have chapters allowing you to be able to skip back and forth through the podcast, hopefully by the next podcast we will be able to have those as a new feature. That next podcast will most likely be a Season 5 Recap/Highlights podcast with our good friend DarkUFO joining us and we will update you all on Comic Con happenings and plans. So if you have any questions, please post comments or feel free to email them in.

The podcast was posted on iTunes late last night, but for those of you that could not access it there, below is an audio player with a download link.

Hope you all enjoy!!

Hey All,
I was reading Jeff Jensen's most recent post at EW and in his post he had a link to the official ABC recap for the Season 5 Finale The Incident, that states the Four-Toed Statue is indeed the Goddess Tawaret.

I am not sure how long this recap has been available and this information was available, but it is the first time I have seen it.

So for all of you that were claiming the statue was Tawaret, I guess you are right.

What does this all mean!?

Tawaret is known as the goddess of pregnancy and childbirth, which of course could be a reference to the pregnancy issues on the island.

Also, if we think back to season three when Richard tells Locke that Ben is wasting the Others time with "novelties" such as the pregnancy issues and then hands Locke Sawyer's file. He basically "pushes" Locke towards convincing Sawyer to kill Locke's father Cooper.

So if Jacob lives in the statue and Richard seems to be working for Jacob then why do they convince or influence Locke to have Sawyer get redemption via a revenge killing!? Especially if we are led to believe that Jacob seems to be a force for good?? Maybe Jacob is not who we think he might be!?

I don't know, perhaps I am missing something!? What do you all think!?

Here is a link to Wikipedia's entry on Tawaret

Hey All,
Happy LOST Finale Day!!

As always, I want to thank all of you for being patient for waiting for the podcast. Yesterday, after all the editing was completed we were having some issues with the hosting site, so it caused even more of a delay!!

The good news is, you get another super-sized version of the podcast with over 2 hours of Karen, Vozzek69 (Danny) and myself providing you all with our thoughts and theories about Episode 5x15 Follow the Leader.

There were so many things to chat about and we discussed all of the key moments in both the 1977 and 2007 time lines. There were so many important scenes there are too many to even list!!

There is a small preview of tonight's finale after the recap and I rehash some of the various spoilers.

With the two hour finale tonight, we will most likely have two podcasts to cover it all next week, so do not forget to subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or the website and you will not miss any of the podcasts. Also, we will continue the podcast through the hiatus and subscribing is the best way to stay up to speed.

The podcast is available on iTunes, but if you can not access it there, here is a link to the audio player and a download link.

Hope you all enjoy!!

NOTE: This week the preview/spoilers section being as the 136 minute mark this week.
