The ODI

Hey Losties,
So we are about two weeks into the mini-hiatus in between Season 4 of LOST. If you do not know yet, episode 9 is scheduled to air April 24th at 10PM and we will get 4 more episodes for a total of 13 episodes in Season 4.

Now many of you out there have loved the first 8 episodes (myself included), while many are still complaining about a lack of answers. Also, one of the best episodes of the whole series (The Constant - 4x05) was apart of this first part of Season 4 and yet some hated it.

Well Doc Jensen from EW has posted his Report Card for these first 8 episodes of Season 4 and ONLY the much hated Juliet centric episode The Other Woman received lower than a B. So I would say that he feels this season is doing pretty well.

What do you think?

Below are the grades he gave each episode and his reasons why.

As always thanks for stopping by and namaste.

THE LOST MIDSEASON REPORT CARD
Grading the first eight episodes of Lost's fourth season.

4.01 ''The Beginning of the End''
Flash-forward Hurley! Ghost Charlie! Oceanic 6! Christian rocking in Jacob's hizzy!
Grade: A

4.02 ''Confirmed Dead''
The best introduction of new characters ever. Miles Straume's ghostbusting scene, the revelation of a Hydra polar bear in Tunisia, and the discovery of Oceanic 815 wreckage at the bottom of the ocean rank among Lost's greatest WTF?! Moments.
Grade: A

4.03 ''The Economist''
Sayid is born again — Jason Bourne'd, that is — as an off-Island assassin for Ben in the flash-forward future. Not since Martha Stewart got out of jail has there been more watercooler discussion about a bracelet.
Grade: A-

4.04 ''Eggtown''
The flash-forward Kate stuff was nifty and the Aaron reveal was buzzworthy. The Island stuff laid an egg for me, but the Miles/Ben/Locke triangle, culminating with the grenade-in-the-mouth bit, was explosive.
Grade: B

4.05 ''The Constant''
Lost lets its geek flag fly — and opens its heart — with Desmond's narratively trippy, deeply romantic time-travel episode. Best Lost episode ever? Debate.
Grade: A+

4.06 ''The Other Woman''
Juliet's third flashback episode. The only true dud of the season, although coming after ''The Constant'' did it no favors.
Grade: C-

4.07 ''Ji Yeon''
The Jin/Sun flashback/flash-forward was loved by some, resented by others for its twisty-or-gimmicky trickery. It worked for me.
Grade: B+

4.08 ''Meet Kevin Johnson''
I'm giving this one a solid, sturdy B. Since I didn't recap, I owe you a more detailed explanation....

Read Doc Jensen's Review of Episode 4x08 Here: EW

Hey Losties,
I know we are only 8 episode into season 4 of LOST and we still have 5 more to go starting April 24th, but I thought we should take this opportunity to really see how fans acrross the world felt about these first set of episodes in season 4.

Now I know most of us have the Desmond Centric "flash" episode The Constant some where on our Best of All-Time lists and it was most likely the best episode so far. However, this season has been filled with some great moments all around, so besides The Constant which episode was the best?

Here is a little review of each episode followed by the poll:

The Beginning of the End (Hurley FF) - Which showed us Hurley talking with a "Dead but Here" Charlie and gave us the mystery of who were the "Oceanic 6"??

Confirmed Dead (Freighter People Multi-Centric FB) - This episode provided us with a little back story for each of the "boaties" while learning that they were sent by the mysterious Abbadon.

The Economist (Sayid FF) - This one was one of my favorite episodes this season and it gave us a whole new look at Sayid as a Hitman for Ben post-island!! Plus, we get our first confirmation that time off and on island do not match up.

Eggtown (Kate FF) - Not too many fans cared for Kate's trial. However, the big reveal that she had a son and that it was Claire's baby, Aaron, is one of the biggest shocks of the season.

The Other Woman (Juliet FB) - One of the most hated episodes in a long time had some interesting reveals. The Juliet episode gave us more of an insight on Ben and his obsession with Juliet than Juliet's past, but we ALSO learn Ben sent Goodwin to get killed, that Widmore is behind the freighter and that the Tempest hatch powers the island.

Ji Yeon (Sun/Jin FF/FB) - The actual off-island FF/FB revealed very little info until the ending shocker that there is a tombstone for Jin, opening a huge debate among fans, whether Jin was alive or not and confirming that Aaron was indeed a member of the Oceanic 6. Also,how can we forget the NOT so shocking return of Michael as Kevin Johnson.

Meet Kevin Johnson (Michael FB) - This was a unique episode with practically the whole episode taking place off-island and during Michael's back story. We learned that Ben sent Tom to recruit Michael and Tom finds Michael off-island in NYC trying to kill himself out of guilt!? In a crazy twist the episode and first part of the season ends with BOTH Karl and Danielle getting shot!!

So what do you think was the best episode?? Voice your opinions below and vote!!

Here are the recap videos, for last week's episode of LOST The Other Woman (4x06) a Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) Centric episode.

This week there are two videos, one focusing on Juliet's On-Island Flashbacks and the other clip focuses on the real time island occurrences.

Thanks to Sawyer840 for the videos.

Hey Losties,
How are you all doing...!?

Well I know many of you felt that this past week's episode of LOST (4x06) a Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) Centric episode was probably one of the weaker episodes of Season 4, but it did indeed have some key moments and reveals that could come back to play key roles in the LOST storyline.

In this week's ODI LOST Podcast we cover several of those key moments, including the reveals of Widmore as the man behind the freighter people, the new Tempest hatch, that Ben sent Goodwin to his death, the Hanso logo on Harper's Diploma.

Of course I feel the episode was a good setup episode for future LOST episodes and we provide you with a little preview of Episode 4x07 that does include some spoilers.

Hey All,
As you all should know by now The Whispers in the Jungle have become a key part of LOST, but how they fit into the LOST story line no one really knows yet.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, well through out all 4 season of LOST, when the Losties enter the jungle at certain times you can hear some faint voices. The voices and sounds themselves are quite creepy, but so are the transcripts of these voices. It always seems like perhaps people are watching the Losties and having discussions about them.

Very creepy and weird...but at the same time pretty cool.

The whispers happen at random times and some time do not occur for several episodes, but this season the made a return in episode 1 and then again this past week.

We posted the audio at the following link: Episode 4x07 The Other Woman - Whispers Audio

It is always very hard to figure out the audio, but thanks to our good friend J here are the transcripts of the Whipsers for this week:

Whispers in "The Other Woman"

Right before Juliet runs into Harper in the jungle:

"Sarah is having another..."
"Is that the other woman?"


Right when Juliet runs into Harper in the jungle:

"Look out"
"Sarah is having another..."
"Did you hear that?
"If she won't save us then who is?"
"Sarah, somebody's coming."
Male: There is somebody coming
Female: Hold on one second
Male: There is somebody coming

---Juliet sees Jack---

After Jack runs into Juliet and Harper:

Male "Sarah it's someone we know, Sarah it's someone we know"
Female "I'm not answering"
Male- answer them
"We have our answer"
"Can we trust her"

Finally, a very faint whisper can be heard right before Juliet uses the pulley door contraption at the Tempest Station.

"Its Juliet"

Hey Losties,
As some of you already know or perhaps have seen it, but the Hanso Foundation Logo made an appearance in this episode. The Hanso Foundation, is the company that funded the Dharman Initiative and played a key role during the original LOST ARG The LOST Experience.

Well besides the fact the logo appeared in the episode, more importantly is WHERE it appeared. It is found on one of Harper's diplomas in her office in Othersville.

Thanks to all the LOST fans and their eagle eyes that were able to catch that logo. What does this all mean??

Well, does Hanso and Dharma have their hands much deeper into the others than we think? At least it confirms the involvement of Hanso and with the reveal of Charles Widmore being behind the freighter, well LOST's big money players are going to play an interesting role over the next season or two.

Here is the screencap of the logo and if you look at the left diploma is that a little DHARMA logo also...!?

Fox's "American Idol" dominated Thursday's opening hour with a special results-show edition, but auds don't seem especially excited for the net's special preview of drama "New Amsterdam," which fumbled away most of its big lead-in and was handily defeated by ABC's "Lost."

According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, the final special-night results show of "American Idol" kicked off the night with a big 9.3 rating/24 share in adults 18-49 and 26.2 million viewers overall, up a bit from the previous week. It more than doubled its closest pursuer, CBS' "Survivor" (4.0/10 in 18-49, 12.6 million viewers overall), while repeat offerings on ABC and NBC settled for just a 5 share of the audience.

At 9 o'clock, "Lost" (projected 5.4/13 in 18-49, 13.0 million viewers overall) was on par with the previous week's result and remained on top of the hour over Fox's "New Amsterdam" (3.6/9 in 18-49, 10.6 million viewers overall), NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" (3.5/8 in 18-49, 8.8 million viewers overall) and CBS' repeat of "CSI" (2.7/6 in 18-49, 9.8 million viewers overall). "Amsterdam" lost 3 shares points in its second half, while the Peacock reality show gained 1 share to overtake it for second place in 18-49 at 9:30.

After getting two post-"Idol" previews this week, Fox's "New Amsterdam" will have its official timeslot premiere Monday at 9 o'clock.

There wasn't a lot happening in the 10 o'clock hour, where all three broadcast dramas posted similar demo numbers: ABC's "Eli Stone" (projected 2.4/7 in 18-49, 7.0 million viewers overall), CBS' "Without a Trace" repeat (2.4/7 in 18-49, 9.5 million viewers overall) and NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" (2.4/7 in 18-49, 5.9 million viewers overall).

Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: Fox, 6.5/16; ABC, 3.3/8; CBS, 3.0/8; NBC, 2.6/7; Univision, 1.7/4; CW, 0.8/2.

In total viewers: Fox, 18.4 million; CBS, 10.6 million; ABC, 8.6 million; NBC, 6.3 million; Univision, 3.9 million; CW, 1.9 million.

Tonight's episode of LOST once again saw the return of the "whispers".

As of today, the whispers in the jungle seem to be one of the more creepier unsolved mysteries of LOST. During tonight's episode Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) was running through the jungle when she began to hear some whispers. Shortly after the whispers, what seems like the spirit of Harper, of course vision, appears and speaks with Juliet. Jack (Matthew Fox) arrives immediately after Juliet's and Harper's talk and we can hear the whispers again.

Well thanks to DarkUFO, we have some audio for the whispers and there is a reversed version as well.

I really can not make out anything this time around.

Here you go:
