To save this post from being nothing but unintelligible cheering noises (Yay! Woohoo! Whoopiee!), which are better posted on Twitter, here’s some real live functional embedded internet videos that helped me get ready for the Ultimate Season of LOST.
First of all, check out an ABC summary of Seasons 1-5, in 8:15 (ha!):
I like how since the introduction of the Tail Section people at the start of Season Two, ABC and LOST have tried their best to distance from them. They are definitely the black sheep of this family. Which is too bad, because Mr. Eko and Libby will always be more important than Jack’s tattoo.
Apparently, LOST does this every year, because this was a (less-hurried) recap of Seasons 1-3, again in 8:15:
So now you know everything.
Now, behold this AWESOME “24″-style real-time video of the original Oceanic Flight 815 plane crash:
ABC has treated this year’s promos for LOST as a way to use old footage of previous seasons, as if these scenes are just sitting there on the counter and will expire if they don’t show them again. They don’t give us any real peeks at the upcoming year, which is to be expected from a show that prides itself on surprising people. Still, it would be better if they used a background song like Radiohead’s “Everything in its Right Place” to compliment philosophical jargon, a la this great Spanish-speaking promo:
“Mr. Friendly throws like a girl.” Ha.
Ahh, the seasons 1-5 recap is already gone. I’d like to find another source, but probably won’t. Find it onen linen.
I laughed at Mr. Friendly, too.
