Getting closer to the end...

Since Wild Willie has limited opportunities to hit the movie theaters, I guess he'll have to make do with what's on TV.  Luckily, Lost comes back next month, and here's a trailer.  

The Lost season finale--it was AWESOME!

Boy, I know you guys (well, Wild Willie, at least) pretty much thought Lost had "jumped the shark" already, but last night's season finale was AWESOME! I'm not sure if it clearly answered any lingering plot questions, but still, it was AWESOME! The 24 season finale? A little ho-hum for my tastes (although the entire season was a bit lacking from the get go). Heroes season finale? Good, but a bit anti-climactic as to how they eventually wrapped it all up. But Lost? AWESOME! Here's a lengthy recap/commentary from Entertainment Weekly with spoilers.

The Lost producers have already agreed to wrap the whole thing up in the next three seasons, and if last night's show was any indication of the direction they'll be going, all sorts of questions will be answered. Heck, just by their little format change last night, I think they revealed to two really big ones...or did they? But now I have to wait till 2008? Oy!

My name is Deja Vu. Haven't we met somewhere before?

I think when they finally wrap up Lost, I'll be hitting myself on the head, and saying, "Oh! Why didn't I think of that?" After last night's episode, I'm totally out of ideas as to how this whole thing will come together in the end. If they take some "Who shot J.R.?" plot twist ending and say this was all in someone's head all along, though, I may just have to find out where J.J. Abrams lives so I can egg his house.

Anywho, I'm not sure if all the six degrees of separation and such are important to the end plot or just something for the audience to "geek out" to, but this website manages to show all kinds of screen caps of interesting Easter eggs you might have missed on first glance.

Star Wars and Lost...

Anyone catch the return of Lost from hiatus last night? Actually, I guess I'm only typing to Wild Willie--I've gotten the impression that he's the only one reading this blog that watches the show, and even his interest sounded like it was waning.

Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed, but always leave it to a quick quip from Sawyer to salvage it:

I can't believe you fell for the wookie prisoner gag!

Reading around on some of the Lost discussion sites, someone even pointed out that apparently Princess Leia's detention block number of AA23 in Star Wars matched up with "Cheech's" prison room number of 23 in the show last night. Nice.
