Have a ‘Lost’ Valentine’s Day
In celebration of Valentine’s Day this year, I’d like to share with everyone some special cards based on the TV show “Lost”. If you know any die-hard fans of the show out there, these would fit the occasion well for you. If somehow you aren’t aware of the show, or the fact that it is completely insane and the fans are even more insane…here’s a quick intro. “Lost” is an adventure/drama/science fiction/everything else type of show on ABC that is now in its sixth and final season. The concepts and plot-line to the show are very convoluted and it is almost impossible to start watching anywhere but season one. However, if you have the patience to start from the pilot, and the mental capacity to remember everything that is happening, it’s a really interesting show. Onto the cards…
This first one is of Jack, the main character, in his drunken state once he has left the island and is trying to go back. Spoiler?…too bad.
This second card is of Sayid, who is the tech expert on the island and helps discover Rousseau’s distress call in season one.
As for sources of these pictures, the link is in both of the pictures, so it should be pretty self-explanatory. Also to note, you can click on the pictures for a larger version. This is the case for most pictures that I will post.

Final Season of Lost Begins
The final season of Lost premiered two days ago on February 2nd with a two hour long double episode. In case you somehow don’t know what Lost is…it’s an action/mystery/drama on ABC based around a group of plane crash survivors on a mysterious island. The show is known for its continual cliffhangers and very “out there” ideas. This is the start of the sixth and final season, and audiences are looking to finally get some answers.
After watching the season premiere I was pretty satisfied, and excited about what was to come the rest of the season. The next day my dorm neighbor sent me the Lost picture that is in comic style fashion on the right of this post. I personally found this pretty hilarious, and I think any true Lost fan would as well, however if you don’t really follow the show it’s pretty hard to appreciate, so let me explain a bit.
The two characters shown in the comic are the main two actors of the series. The first shown is Jack, and the second is Locke. Jack has been the heroic leader of the survivors and typically the focal point of the show. Locke came to the island in a wheelchair, and can suddenly walk when he wakes up on the beach. He also is quite a knife fanatic and hunter, etc etc.
If you’ve seen Avatar and all of its unoriginal blueness then it’s pretty clear that the character of Locke and his background was picked right out of Lost and put into Avatar, with a facial makeover. I’m not saying I’m mad about Avatar’s choice because the character worked out well being in a wheelchair and then being able to take on a new life as the Avatar. However it does add yet another tally to the amount of ideas the movie is accused of ripping off of. Those being Dances With Wolves, Pocahontas, FernGully, The Matrix, etc.
