Rethinking LOST

A new way to look at the TV show LOST

In this (Season 6 Spoiler-Free, as always) episode of Rethinking LOST, Scott and Elton do some “character analysis” - the ReThinking LOST way. We take two “Which LOST character are you?” quizzes and use them to study and test our own understanding of the characters.

You can find the quizzes we used here: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/lost/ and http://www.brainfall.com/quizzes/which-lost-character-are-you/ .

Enjoy Episode 017.  We do hope to do some more ReThinking LOST-style “character analysis” in future shows - we welcome you to join us next time. Let us know if you’re interested, and please do send us some feedback.

They cover basic time travel, the Comic-Con videos, flashes and flashbacks to understand a little better one of the biggest story lines in Lost.  To start we answer a couple of emails and mention Spock Video.

Then we look at Lore Sjoberg’s time travel

This week Scott asks the question, should JJ Abrams be getting so much of the credit for Lost?

This is brought up after a script from Jeffrey Leiber has turned up on the Dark UFO website.

Also Anthony Spinner, former producer on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Baretta, is said to be suing ABC.

So who’s Lost is it?

This episode is not only Season 6 Spoiler Free (as always), it’s COMPLETELY Spoiler-Free! So, no matter where you are in your LOST watching, you can listen without fear.

Scott and Elton return to continue their study of characters who have died (or so we think) on LOST. Part 3, includes a look at the lives, death scenes, and significance of Christian Shepherd, Anthony Cooper, Nikki, Paulo, Goodwin, Nathan, and more. You do know who Nathan is, don’t you?

Scott also reads from a 2006 Buddy TV post which analyzes the Season 2 DVD release party and suggests it may be a sign that ABC is losing faith in LOST.  (Beware of clicking the link, the margins of the site may have links and headlines for more current articles that are  Season 6 Spoilers)

We plan to spend one more show looking at some major deaths in LOST’s first 5 seasons for now, and then we’ll be spending time on other topics. If you have a suggestion of where to turn our 20/20 hindsight or if you know of old analysis you’d like to see us revisit - please let us know.

At the moment, both Elton and Scott are on family vacations (aka “holidays”).  But don’t worry, we have a special episode to share with you in our absence.

As many of you know, Scott and Elton produce another podcast, called “An Apotheosis of a Bombast.”   During the one week break/hiatus in the middle of Season 5, the guys devoted an entire episode that podcast to a spoiler-free discussion of LOST. It was released on the Bombast feed on March 12, 2009, (Episode 008 of that podcast, ironically) and we are pleased to be able to share it with you here, in it’s entirety.

So enjoy a break from our look at “The Dead” and listen in as Elton and Scott discuss how they each got into the show, their favorite characters, make their own (crazy? in hindsight, maybe they were) predictions about how Season 5 might end, and more.

This episode was then, and is still, a Season 6 Spoiler-Free podcast. So listen without worry.

We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the origins of ReThinking LOST and that you find the show as a whole to be a good listen. If you like it, please do check out An Apotheosis of a Bombast on ITunes or through podbean (link below).

We’ll be back in plenty of time to bring you Episode 9 and more talk of the dead characters on LOST for next Thursday.

This week Scott and Elton continue to pick through the IMDB cast page for LOST and rethink the lives, deaths, and significance of the characters who have “passed on.” In Part 2, we look at Carl, Alex, Danielle Rousseau, Michael, and many others.

As always, we are striving to present you a Season 6 Spoiler-free podcast. So listen without worry.

There are still many dead people to talk about (wow, that sounds cold, doesn’t it?), but we will be going off on a 1 episode tangent in next week’s episode. We are sure you will enjoy that episode, and don’t worry - we will return to our study of the dead characters in LOST with Episode 9.

This week Scott and Elton begin a (Season 6 Spoiler Free!) rethinking of characters who have died on LOST.

In the first of a multiple part study, we use the IMDB cast page for LOST and look at who’s died, how they died, and how significant their characters were. There’s no particular order, we just take them as we find them. Part 1 has us looking at the pilot  of 815 (Greg Grunberg again!), the marshall, Sun’s love interest, and Montand (among others).

We also take a moment to respond to an audio comment from Anthony (aka @oriSTUDFARM), co-host of the Scutter Cast. If you’re a fan of Red Dwarf - Scutter Cast is where you should be.

As always, we are striving to present you a Season 6 Spoiler-free podcast. We do not refer to or make use of anything from Comic-con.

Who is Greg Grunberg?

In this episode we talk about questions the posed about and around the pilot episode at the Ain’t it Cool News website by their correspondant, “Hercules.” (be careful, accessing the main AICN site, at  www.aintitcool.com, may lead to Season 6 spoilers, but the links provided below are SPOILER-FREE)

  • Lost 1.1 FAQ from 24th July 2004
  • Interview with Damon Lindelof from 21st August 2004 (did he really just say something else would be crashing on the island?)

We also look back at Entertainment Weekly’s first impressions of the main characters from 5th October 2004: some good, some not so good.

Thank you once again to everyone for your great feedback, but please don’t stop.

And seriously, who is Greg Grunberg?

Welcome to the Rethinking LOST podcast.

A place where Scott Copperman, Elton McManus, and the occasional guest take what we now know after five seasons of the television show LOST and revisit questions, predictions, news, theories, and the like from years gone by: in other words, rethink LOST.

Our spoiler policy is fairly simple: if ABC has already released it (on TV, DVD, mobisode, ARG, or the Official Lost Podcast) then it’s fair game to be discussed here. We will certainly speculate and theorize about what is to come , but our goal is to stay spoiler-free and offer you that same opportunity.

Join us as we fill the long hiatus with weekly reconsiderations of what we wondered, should have known, and thought we knew over the last five years. And then stick with us through the final season of one of television’s greatest shows: LOST.

-Elton and Scott-

Got feedback or a suggested topic for our show? Let us know:

Thanks and namaste.
