Tweet One benefit of this column’s delay is, for once, a chance to read the legions of blogs and chats about the show before writing. So, in lieu of a running diary after the jump, some quick thoughts.

Tweet Time once again for the “Lost” running diary after the jump. Spoilers ahoy, you are forewarned. A brief mention about the clip show before the premiere. Michael Emerson could probably spend the rest of his career doing voice-overs. So very great.

Tweet Finally, that day we’ve been waiting for all year. The season premiere of Lost. I mean, Groundhog Day. Click to see the rest of that rodent-filled cartoon by the great creator of Cul de Sac, Richard Thompson. As for Lost, yes, the recap/discussion thread will return tomorrow for this last season of nerdville’s favorite [...]

Tweet While a reviewing of Lost Season 5 may not be entirely necessary to enjoy next week’s final season premiere, it should be undertaken anyway because it’s simply fantastic TV. After five seasons, the acting, writing and directing have cohered into a focused unit; the characters and situations have become so clearly laid out that [...]

Tweet You have seven days to go back and re-watch old episodes to get caught up in time for the season premiere next Tuesday night (fittingly on Groundhog Day). The Helper Monkey has been watching selected shows from all five seasons as a refresher course and has a few observations. – The show is so [...]

Tweet Congratulations to Michael Emerson, for his Emmy win tonight, for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. You can keep your Don Draper. I’ll take Benjamin Linus as the best character currently on series television. How long ’til Lost starts again?

Tweet How much work did the Lost brain trust put into their (last?) Comic-Con panel presentation? A lot, according to an article in today’s NYT. “Is it too late for when Carlton and I come out onstage for there to be giant towers of flames?” Mr. Lindelof said (mostly) facetiously. Tip of the hat to [...]

Tweet Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, the brain trust behind Lost, gave a presentation recently and they were asked if the show would have a comic book spin-off, as so many shows created by comics-friendly Hollywood writers seem to have. The answer would seem to be…”No.” Q: My question is about the fate of Lost, [...]

Tweet If you have been missing Lost this last couple weeks, well, no new episodes, but this might tide you over for a day or so. The Helper Monkey was on wrestling historian Karl Stern’s podcast today to discuss the season finale, the show as a whole, the greatness of John Locke and Benjamin Linus, [...]

Tweet Isn’t it sad that both of these characters are dead and Kate is still alive? Season Finale. Let’s get it on after the jump.

TweetDue to an unexpected situation arising tonight, no Lost running diary. Feel free to use this space as a discussion place for tonight’s episode. posted by Mark Coale

Tweet Real time diary this week. This week is all about Mr. Benjamin Linus. Huzzah. more after the break.

Tweet [Note: Due to a new work schedule, I was unable to watch this week's episode of Lost in time to write the regular Day After column. We'll cut and paste it in here sometime Thursday after getting caught up. For now, Let's just call this an Open Thread.] Is this another week where a [...]
