If the LOST cast hung out with The Simpsons...

Check out "Springfield Punx," a Blogger website by Dean T. Fraser, a LOST fan from Canada.

This week he's done the coolest series of LOST characters, drawn in the style of The Simpsons.

Dean's done lots of other pop-culture pieces -- movie classics, TV characters and superheroes, too -- but it's the LOST series that we especially love.

Click on the link to see his versions of Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Locke, Ben and Charlie!

Right: James Ford in his Dharma days as Jim LaFleur.

So is Juliet, uh, dead?

So, there was supposed to be a major death in the Lost finale.

Is Juliet that death? She did trigger the bomb. But everyone else would have "died" as time was reset, right?

Well, Elizabeth Mitchell's show, V, was picked up.

But don't count out our Juliet, says Michael Ausiellio over at Entertainment Weekly.

What did you think of the finale?

UPDATE: Here's Doc Jensen's review of the episode. It's definitely worth reading.

So, they're all dead? Or did they save themselves? So much to ponder and break down.


Did Jack's plan work?


Will next season mirror season one? Will the plane still crash? Or will they board Ajira and crash later in time?


There's no way they're done with the island. Or that it's done with them. Of that, I'm certain.


And so now that guy in the beginning of the show is Locke or in Locke's body? Or has Locke always been that guy?



Will the hiatus, as Michael Emerson (aka Ben) predicted, make you eat your soul?


What do you think is coming in Season Six? Claire will return. We've already learned that.


Discuss!

Doc Jensen previews the finale

Here's the last Doc Jensen preview of the season. Enjoy.

Since ''LaFleur,'' I have argued that season 5 has been modeled on season 2, and
I believe my theory has held. Season 2's finale, ''Live Together, Die Alone,''
hinged on a Big Picture binary question: Does the button really do anything: Yes
or no? The season 5 finale, ''The Incident,'' hinges on the resolution of a
similar, black-or-white issue: Can the past be changed: Yes or no?

He makes three predictions of the finale. Not spoilers. He's just speculating.

Why does Locke want to murder Jacob?

Why does Eloise Hawking know so much about the castaways' destiny? Is she stuck in a self-aware, open-ended time loop, or does she have flashes of the future à la Ben?

What is the significance of the Ajira storyline?

The J.J. Abrams-verse: Lost, Fringe, Alias

While you're waiting for tonight's blockbuster season finale of Lost, enjoy this fun feature from the folks at Television Without Pity (which has great recaps of Lost and many other favorite shows). It's all about how many of the characters from creator J.J. Abrams' various hit TV series bear some uncanny resemblances to each other. Like Dr. Walter Bishop from Fringe and Dr. Daniel Faraday from Lost -- two wacked-out but endearing geniuses.

Speaking of J.J., have you seen his new Star Trek movie yet? Not only does it have Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof as producer, and Lost composer Michael Giacchino scoring the film, it also has at least one in-joke that only devoted Lost fans will likely catch.

Which is: When future captain James T. Kirk is born, his father, George, is acting as captain of a Federation starship: the USS Kelvin. The Kelvin -- as in Kelvin Inman, the Gulf War vet-turned-Dharmaite who rescued a shipwrecked Desmond and then kept him cooped up in the Hatch for years, punching in The Numbers and pushing that dang button every 108 minutes. And neither Kelvin, let it be noted, comes to a happy end.

What is the "fork in the outlet" and will it make the audience "eat its own soul?"

NO SPOILERS HERE!


The showrunners are calling this season's game changer the fork in the outlet, as we told you in an earlier post.

What do you think it is? How will it change the show forever?

E!Online is reporting that Michael Emerson (aka Ben) is saying: that the ending is : "enough to keep an audience eating its own soul for the whole hiatus."

We've had the bagel and the snake in the mailbox. Both weren't literal.

But last season's frozen donkey wheel certainly was.

A SPOILER FREE note about handling season finale spoilers

This message is spoiler free and only addresses the handling of spoilers for the season finale.

We will not be spoiling the game changing "fork in the outlet" or any deaths.

While Joyce and I don't mind finding out little tidbits in advance, we don't want to know who dies or how the show changes after the season finale.

That said, if I can find out where the information is, I will try to post without reading.

There are spoilers and then there are SPOILERS.

JJ Abrams on Stephen Colbert

If case you missed it, JJ Abrams appeared on Monday's epsiode of The Colbert Report.

Although the show was mainly about Star Trek, JJ and Stephen Colbert also discussed Lost, Fringe, Alias and Felicity.

They also joked about hidden clues around the studio that would tell people the secret location of where Stephen would be taking the show in the Middle East.

JJ admits that following the happenings on Lost can be difficult.

Said Stephen: "Lost lost me on the first show."
