Lost Update: Season 6 Preview - Faith Of The Heart


Lost Update - Season Six - 01/27/2010


It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind.


Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith.
I've got faith, faith of the heart.


Five and a half years ago, September 22nd, 2004, I watched the pilot of ABC's new drama series, Lost. It was about a horrific plane crash that went down 1000 miles off course stranding 48 survivors. To make matters worse, the Losties encountered a terrifying invisible monster stalking the survivors. The program was very entertaining but something just didn't jive and some scenes were all to familiar. At that moment, I formulated my Lost theory and posted it to my  Grassy Knoll blog. Week in and week out for the past 5 years I updated each episode with what was really going on behind the scene. In May of 2010, we shall see if the Curator was correct.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting six years to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

Season Six, the final season, promises to answer the countless questions the show produced. However, the writers stated that not every single question will be given an answer, but will attempt to tie as many loose ends up as possible at the conclusion of the series. The Grassy Knoll Institute feels the following questions need to be answered to satisfy the millions of loyal Lost fans.

* Where are we? Charlie asked that question in the pilot after the smoke monster made it's first appearance. We've been trying to figure that out since.

* When are we? Time travel was introduced and the castaways have been transported to the 1950's, 1970's, the present, whenever that is, and to the future.

* Who are we? A very select group of survivors all with a backstory and all connected to one another in varying degrees.

* Where did all the children go? Ben took them in a raid and we never saw them again.

* Why did they take the children? For what purpose.

* What do the numbers mean? 4 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 23 - 42
They appear everywhere and have some sort of significant meaning.

* What is the Hanso corporation? It was mentioned early on but forgotten as of late.

* What is the real objective of the Dharma Initiative? To save the world, or perhaps to end it.

* Why are people who are known to be dead still appear and interact with the living on and off the island? It gives new meaning to the phrase, I see dead people?

* Who is Jacob? Is he the mastermind behind everything, or merely just another chess piece in the Lost Game.

* Who is the mysterious MIB? And why does he despise Jacob so much.

* How is it possible that John Locke can walk on the island? He was wheel chair bound but after the crash, he turns into Tarzan.

* Who is Ben really? Just an evil man, or a man wanting to save the world.

* Why doesn't Richard age like the rest of the Others? He was around in the 1950's and didn't age a bit in the present and the future.

* How can Desmond see glimpses of the future?

* How did Charlie kick his heroin habit so quickly?

* What is the significance of the Ying/Yang Black/White comparisons? is it a struggle between good and evil.

* Why can't the island be spotted by the air or from the sea?

* What is the significance of the black powder creating a ring around Jacob's cabin in the woods?

* Why don't they show Juliet's rack more often? The ratings would soar even higher.

And literally hundreds of more questions waiting to be answered.

February 2nd, is the premiere of season six. I believe this episode will recap several plot lines of previous seasons and then focus on the end game of the series. We will begin to see very soon where the storyline is headed and how Lost will end and who will be left standing. Alive or dead! I anticipate questions to be answered at a quick pace, not rapid fire, but narrowing the arc's of each character. There has been 5 seasons of episodes, the writers have only 16 episodes to tie it all together before the finale airs in May.

What questions do you want answered by the writers and producers of the show before the series ends? The comments are open, what say you Lost faithful?

Lost Update - We Can Be Heroes


Lost Update - Season V - 03/18/2009

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time,
just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What do you say?


What the hell time is it anyway? Sorry for the late Lost update, or, if you are in Sawyers time zone, I'm 32 years early. So I guess we're even. I was on an airplane, Southwest, coming back to Youngstown from Las Vegas while Lost was airing. It wasn't flight 815, I checked, but it was close, Flight 181.

Tonight's update title and song lyrics, Heroes, penned by Glam Rocker David Bowie, was released in the fall of 1977. (Hey, what a coincidence, Sawyer, Miles, Juliet, and the gang are stuck in 1977) (See how I tie this all in) (Do you also see how I use parenthesis way to much) After reading the lyrics, (You did read them didn't you, they are important in tonight's update. Seriously, this time I'm not lying to you like Ben Linus always does) you will see my theory is embedded in the lyrics above.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting 32 years to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

The island has come full circle tonight. (Well, actually last night. Remember, I'm a day late on updates) When first we discovered the Dharma Initiative, we learned Ben's little secret and the fate of the group. (Ben killed them all with help from Richard Alpert, the supposed leader of the others, or the hostiles, or the originals) Now Sawyer and the castaways are propelled back in time to 1974, and became indoctrined into the group, and Sawyer becomes head of security, and gets the blond bombshell, Juliet, and they set up house and live happy little lives. Cue the Disney theme music of Circle of Life. I just can't wait to be king.....

Until....
Kate, Jack, Sayid, Sun, Hurley, and Ben return. And begin the cycle of history repeating itself with the demise of the Dharma Initiative. We saw the tension between Sawyer, Kate, Jack and Juliet, (Read the lyrics over again, "Yes we're lovers, and that is that. Though nothing, will keep us together.)

Sawyer's reign is about to come to an end. Jack doesn't like what's happening, Sayid has stirred up trouble, and Kate, well, is the catalyst to have the whole shibang go up in flames.

You see, the virtual reality experiment has been reset at the beginning of season five. All the rules and parameters have been changed. Jack is now the workman, Sawyer is now the man in charge. Juliet is no longer with Jack, but with Sawyer. Kate is no longer with Sawyer, but together with Jack. Locke is the new Ben, Ben is the new Locke.

Remember long ago, I told you that the castaways are merely lab rats, tools, to be experimented on physically and mentally. Once results are studied and confirmed, new variables are inserted in the scenario and the experiment begins anew. Season five is the new scenario, the new beginning. The castaways are given new assignments, new roles, new agenda's. Let the analysis continue.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* We all got to meet baby Ethan. And Horace is the dad. Very peculiar since we were led to believe that Ben murdered the entire camp. perhaps the children were spared.

* Ben's arm, in a sling, apparently heals itself when he gets back to the island. But what about his spinal cord surgery, why didn't he heal.

* I loved it when Sun, after whacking Ben senseless with a boat oar, replied to Lapidus, "I lied!" That's Ben's line.

* Christian Shepherd appears. If the castaways are not dead, then it has to be virtual reality.

* Namaste: Definition, I bow to you.

Until Next Week: Get Lost!
