Elizabeth Mitchell Reflects on the LOST Series Finale

Thanks to Bruce for the heads up.

Here is a new short clip with Matthew Fox talking about the LOST Series finale.

Thanks to Bruce for the heads up!

Last night, an ESPN Announcer mentions LOST Series finale when describing the baseball blown perfect game call.

Detroit Tigers Pitcher Armando Gallaraga had a perfect game with one out to go when the umpire blew the call, calling the runner safe when he was clearly out. The confusing call according to ESPN is supposedly more "confounding" than the LOST Series finale.

There have been all sorts of reference to LOST in pop culture but rarely in sports, so thought this was a cool mention. Here you go:

Here is a video clip of the finale moments of the LOST Series Finale with Jack dying on island and him meeting all of his friends in the church before "letting go".

I understand if some fans are disappointed with not getting some answers to questions they had, but this end was handled really well from acting to music to editing and I thought it was fitting.

Enjoy!

So all this is it. The last episode poll of the series!

Did the finale live up to the hype? Was it what you expected?

Are you too sad to comment and vote? Well join in on all the fun and discussion and please let us know what you thought of the LOST Series Finale The End.

Hey All,
I just wanted to say I am really thankful to all of you that have visited the site or checked out the podcast on a regular basis! With out all of you the site and podcast would not exist.

I know this is a sad day for most of you, but it should be a happy day that should be celebrated. In this era of TV shows being canceled just because of writing and ratings it would be almost impossible to get a show that you love to end on it's own terms.

In a recent interview I read, the interviewer asked LOST writer Damon Lindelof if he was sad about the show coming to an end? His reply was, of course there is some normal sadness because something comes to an end, but how can you be sad for something you ask for? Yes as fans we never asked for this day, but Damon has a point. The writers asked ABC for this opportunity to end the show on their own terms and to allow the show to have a proper ending and thankfully they agreed.

We might not like the ending, but we are getting a complete story not something that we lived and talked about for 6 years being left open ended.

So we should be happy for the six amazing and wonderful years that we have received and of course ALL of the wonderful friendships that we created with one another in this great LOST community.

Thanks to the writers/producers, cast and crew for LOST and changing many fans lives!

If you are online and want to chat live with fans ALL across the world during the east coast feed via streaming LOST live, then check out the chat page here:

Please have a wonderful day where ever you watch and celebrate the finale and Happy LOST Series Finale Day to all!!

LOST Finale is Eligible for the Emmy's

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Board of Governors on Wednesday made a rule exception that will have a direct impact on the May 23 finale of Lost. Past rules have indicated that extended length episodes can only run for two hours but Lost’s finale is scheduled to run for two and a half hours. The board will now grant eligibility to the drama’s series finale episode.

Similar exceptions have been made in the past for the series finales of The Wire and The Sopranos. “We have a soft spot in our hearts for the final episodes of long-running series,” says John Leverence, the TV Academy’s senior VP of awards.

The Lost finale can be submitted for consideration under any number of scenarios. A Lost star may use it to compete in one of the acting categories, while ABC Studios may use it to go after the best drama prize.

The producers of ABC's hit drama have shot so much crucial material for the show's hugely anticipated finale that the network has agreed to extend the last episode by an extra half hour.

When the "Lost" finale airs on Sunday, May 23rd, the episode will run from 9 to 11:30 p.m. The overrun will air instead of the local news, with the "Jimmy Kimmel Live: Aloha to Lost" post-finale special remaining at 11:30 p.m. ABC is expected to announce the plan on tonight's episode of Kimmel.

Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof just completed post-production on the finale -- titled "The End" -- on Monday night. Both sent out identical Tweets: "We're done. Amen."

The supersizing of the finale is the latest adjustment to what might as well be called "The 'Lost' Weekend." ABC is airing an "enhanced" (pop-ups) version of the show's original two-hour pilot on May 22. On Sunday there's a two-hour retrospective titled "Lost: The Final Journey," followed by the finale and Kimmel post-show.

Lost: The Final Journey - Finale Recap Show Press Release

A TWO-HOUR RETROSPECTIVE LOOK AT THE PAST SIX SEASONS OF ONE OF THE MOST CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED AND TALKED-ABOUT SHOWS OF THE PAST DECADE KICKS OFF THE “LOST” SERIES FINALE EVENT WITH “THE FINAL JOURNEY,” SUNDAY, MAY 23 ON ABC

“Lost” Series Finale Airs Immediately After the Special

ABC invites new and avid “Lost” viewers to take a final glance at one of television’s most talked about and critically acclaimed shows. The “Lost” Series Finale Event begins with this two-hour special, which takes a retrospective look back over the past six seasons of this groundbreaking series. “Lost The Final Journey” airs SUNDAY, MAY 23 (7:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

On September 22, 2004, Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, leaving 48 passengers alive and stranded on a remote island in the South Pacific. The survivors include a diverse group of people from different walks of life -- a doctor, an escaped fugitive, a con man, an Iraqi interrogator, a married Korean couple and a man formerly confined to a wheelchair who is now inexplicably healed. As the castaways attempt to get home, flashbacks (and forwards) illuminate their troubled lives before and after the crash, as the island that they find themselves stranded on begins to slowly reveal its mysterious nature. With the detonation of the hydrogen bomb, flash-sideways show two timelines – one on the island, and the other depicting their lives as if the plane never crashed. Faith, reason, destiny and free will all clash as the island offers opportunities for both corruption and redemption... but as to its true purpose? That's the greatest mystery of all.

“Lost: The Final Journey” celebrates the show by taking a look back on how it all started in 2004, what it took to produce the seminal show in Hawaii, and how it became a phenomenon in the U.S. and around the world. Past and present cast members will share their experiences working on the show and their thoughts on its coming to an end. Also examined will be the dynamic characters, themes and innovative storytelling, plus an extensive look at what has transpired during the current season as a primer leading into the finale, which airs immediately after this special from 9:00-11:00 p.m., ET.

“Lost” stars Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Nestor Carbonell as Richard Alpert,Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Ben, Jeff Fahey as Lapidus,Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Kim as Sun, Ken Leung as Miles, Lilly as Kate, TerryO’Quinn as Locke and Zuleikha Robinson as Ilana.

So apparently earlier today, a leaked call sheet for the LOST Season 6 Finale was "found" in a Honolulu restaurant. This is a call sheet for tomorrow's filming and is one of the final scenes to be filmed.

At this point all we can say is some of the information seems legit while other parts are not accurate at all.

So just wanted to give you all a fair warning not to read the call sheet unless you want to be potentially spoiled for the finale.

We will not be posting the call sheet.

Just when you thought 5 hours were too many for the finale event on Sunday, ABC has confirmed we will get TWO more hours of LOST, but the night before the finale on Saturday May 22nd at 8PM.

ABC is planning a "Lost" weekend: The network has just scheduled a repeat showing of the show's two-hour 2004 pilot for the night before its finale.

The J.J. Abrams-directed, $10 million-plus spectacular will air Saturday, May 22, from 8-10 p.m., ABC told affiliates today. The two-hour finale will air the following evening from 9-11 p.m.

This brings the total number of "Lost" hours ABC is planning for the week of May 17 to 10. There's the penultimate episode of May 18; the pilot encore on May 22; a two-hour pre-show/recap on May 23; the finale itself; and "Jimmy Kimmel: After the Final Rose" (also on May 23).

The last time ABC aired the "Lost" pilot, by the way, was back in February 2006. It also got repeated in 2004 and 2005.

Thanks to our good friend Ryan in Hawaii for sending over the first pics of the tent that will be used for the LOST Wrap Party event.

As you can see the location is stunning. It is definitely sad to see that the wrap party is right around the corner. If we are able to get pics of the actual event we will post those pics as well!

You can see more pics here: Ryan's Flickr

ABC has decided to add another hour to it's big Series Finale event. Initially there was a one hour recap/clip show the two hour finale and one hour Jimmy Kimmel after show, but it seems like one more hour has been added to the pre-show at 7PM!

ABC has found more time to say goodbye to "Lost."

The network has decided to supersize its farewell to the iconic drama, expanding a previously announced one-hour pre-show to two full hours. The special is now expected to air from 7-9 p.m. on Sunday, May 23, right before the two-hour "Lost" finale.

Add in a special "Jimmy Kimmel Live" -- "Lost: After the Final Rose"-- airing that Sunday, and ABC is now planning to devote no less than five hours of airtime to the "Lost" swan song.

That's really showing some (Dharma) initiative!
