“Lost” Pop-Ups

Filed under: Lost, TV — Scott King at 12:47 am on Thursday, January 31, 2008


I was only going to watch the re-airing of last year’s season finale of “Lost” so I could have on some background noise, but once the episode started I was glued to my TV. Just like the old “pop up videos” from the 90’s the whole two hour episode of lost was stuffed with random facts. Sometimes they were jokes. Sometimes they were odd facts. Sometimes they were just weird. But I totally enjoyed it! For those of you who didn’t watch here is a nice example:

This episode is entitled “Through The Looking Glass” a reference to the book by Lewis Carroll, his sequel to “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland” and a story that explores the theme of mirror opposites. Currently, Jack is in great despair, a mirror opposite of Jack, the leader on the island that we have come to know and love.

My only question about it was “Who wrote these?” Were these written pre-strike? Were they done by some marketing or PR person who isn’t a WGA member? I mean some of the pop-ups were so anal you’d think only a hardcore fan or writer of the show could have actually written them.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass were written by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) Not C.S. Lewis (Clive Staples “Jack” Lewis). C.S. Lewis wrote many fiction and non-fiction books, seven of which are known as the The Chronicles of Narnia, starting with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

That was me being an idiot with typos not “lost’s” fault. I already fixed it above and everything else is verbatim as to how it appeared last night.
