Turns out Michael Emerson (a.k.a. Ben) talked to a lot of reporters at the Saturn Awards, including a bit of series-finale ruminating he did with EW. Don't worry, there are no spoilers; this is all ruminations from a fan...who happens...

Not really, of course. It's an article in the Onion, which goes onto say: "Somewhere between the smoke monster's first appearance on Lost— when it was depicted as a strange unseen force uprooting trees—and that episode in season three where...

"The Incident" was two hours chock full of awesomeness. And since I finished watching it last night I haven't really been able to stop thinking about it. I've re-watched the first scene at least four times now. Best show ever....

I was searching for a good banner image for this post, found the one of the original cast, got reminiscent, so I wrote in all of their (current) fates. Makes you think back to the innocent old days of...

This week featured one of Lost's "let's move all the chess pieces to their correct positions" episodes, but it was better handled and felt more complete than those episodes usually do. You could make a good argument that it was...

Michael Emerson popped up on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last week and was, as always, charmingly creepy. (I couldn't get a handle on whether or not Fallon actually watches Lost; he knew that Sun whacked Ben on the head...

Popular Mechanics talked to an Egyptologist about the hieroglyphics and Four-Toed Statue references in "Dead is Dead" and came up with some good info. Lost has been hinting about the island's ancient past being Egyptian in nature for a while...

Whew. This season is officially perfect. We're talking first-season brilliant. The actors finally have the material needed to turn out the sort of powerhouse performances award shows revolve around. The plot, for all its twists and turns, is definitely headed...

"Dead is Dead" wasn't quite as good as "Whatever Happened, Happened" (who would've thought a Kate episode would be better than a Ben episode?), but it was pretty great in its own right. For both of our sakes, I'll try...

Two clips from tonight's episode have arrived to get you pumped. One picks right up on Locke and Ben's conversation from last week and drops a heavy bit of info on our laps (that is, if Ben is to be...

In Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's recent Lost podcast, they explained the discrepancy between Charlotte appearing on the island in 1974 and Ben saying in Season 3 that she was born in 1979 by blaming Rebecca Mader. According to DocArzt.com:...

In the video game Myst, you play a character who opens a book and is magically transported to a mysterious island. After doing some exploring, you find two brothers, Sirrus and Achenar, both trapped inside a separate book. They both...

For the first time since I can remember, I didn't see Lost at its regularly scheduled time. I had long-standing dinner plans on Wednesday night and had to work all day Thursday, pushing my viewing back to late last night...

This was the first "meh" episode for me of the season. The whole thing seemed to be suffering from a profound lack of stakes: 1. Charlotte's dying! Oh wait -- Charlotte's fine. 2. Hurley's still in jail! No problem, Ben's...

Only six hours to go until "The Little Prince." We're already four episodes in! -I'll throw my hat in the ring and agree that Ellie the Other is Eloise Hawking the White-Haired Time Travel Expert and thus Daniel Faraday's mother....

According to DarkUFO, the eleventh episode of the fifth season will be titled "Whatever Happened, Happened." (The titles of 1-10 can be found here and here.) Sterling Beaumon will return in this episode. You don't know that name, so...

In Kristen Dos Santos's latest E!Online column, she spills some minor beans about the Season 5 premiere: -Desmond appears in the past and present. -Ben "helps" Jack get off his prescription drug habit. (I don't know why "help" is in...

We've already seen the full cast promo photo, but along with that, here are some individual shots. Like the promo photo, Daniel, Charlotte, and Miles are included among them, but Claire, Jin, and Frank are not. (Head over to the...

Debates are all the rage on TV right now (for American and Canadian viewers, anyway). But what if instead of Obama and McCain (or Harper, May, Layton and Dion), we were watching Ben Linus and Charles Widmore duke it out?...

"Because You Left". You can read Jeff Jensen's full story over at EW.com, but you'll have to wade through three pages to get to the title announcement. I'm not a fan of burying the lead, -- way too impatient --...

Entertainment Weekly just came out with a quickie article on "Who's in the coffin?" odds. On a rating scale of one coffin (probably not) to four coffins (probably), here's where they stack up:Ben: 4 coffinsMichael: 3 coffinsClaire: 2.5 coffinsLocke: 2...

I got the heads up on this from DarkUFO's site: the Chicago Tribune is holding an online contest for the best character on TV, and the two finalists are Ben Linus and Guy of Gisborne, from the BBC's update of...

A simple theory: the leader of the Others before Ben was none other than Charles Widmore. Why? Well, basically, because he almost comes right out and says it. From his conversation with Ben in "The Shape of Things to Come":...

I promise I'm going somewhere with the following few paragraphs. See if you can spot the vague similarities to Lost. In the terrific book Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, an alien race has already attacked Earth twice and has...

After the Season 3 finale, my official "Who's in the Coffin" prediction was Michael. I'm happy to say that he's still in the running...but barely, and only because it's technically still possible that he made it back home and is...

There's a great new interview with Michael Emerson, a.k.a. Ben Linus, on Ain't it Cool News. It's quite long and I recommend reading the whole thing, but here are some of Emerson's highlights: It’s interesting though how with each season...

I have a friend who's a huge Alex fan. Now, I'm a big Alex fan - I named her the #1 girl to get stuck on the Lost island with - but he loves Alex at least twice as much...

The arc of Lost has grown relatively clear. Season 4 will most likely end with the Oceanic 6 (plus Ben, plus anyone else, conceivably) getting off the island. Season 6 will be about the Oceanic 6 going back. Thus, it...

It's time for another in my not-quite-every-day, more-like-a-few-times-a-week series of theories. This one, like the black hole theory, I can't claim I came up with, but I can finesse it a little. Here's the original theory, originally posted here: First,...

I'm afraid I don't have much evidence to back this one up - just a nagging gut feeling. In the past few episodes, there has been a sudden heavy reliance on supposedly foolproof "evidence" - in the form of documents...

The real March Madness just got started, but let's not forget about our little side obsession known as Lost Madness. The bracket challenge featuring 64 characters from Lost is now down to its final four! Sayid vs. Charlie, and...

With Hurley's big "Oceanic 6!" announcement at the beginning of Season 4, one of the chief questions posed by the Season 3 finale - who's in the coffin? - has been put on the back burner. But with each wrinkle...

I don't, actually. But I came up with a theory that I'm so convinced is correct that I feel like I'm revealing a spoiler here. So if you don't want to know, watch out. ... Okay, everybody cool? Here's who...

I'll be back with a full analysis tomorrow, but while it's still fresh in my mind, I figured I'd jot down some initial observations on tonight's episode - which, in my opinion at least, strongly improved on last weekend's premiere,...
