Lost ends this Sunday… crazy, right? In honor of the last (often frustrating) six seasons, this week’s No Frown Friday has a Lost theme. As John Locke might say, “don’t tell me what I can’t blog!” Let’s get to it…
- First and foremost, it’s your weekly dose of punny pet names. Keeping with the Lost theme, I give you Snarls Widmore. (Bonus non-Lost pet name in honor of NPH’s awesome Glee appearance this week: Doggie Howser.)
- These Lost audition tapes are interesting and amusing – apparently everyone wanted to be Sawyer. (Really, who can blame them?) Speaking of Sawyer, there better be a Juliet reunion in the works for Sunday or I will be one unhappy camper. Without a doubt, those two are tied with Desmond and Penny as my favorite couple (sorry, Jin & Sun… you were a very close second, promise).
- I have no idea how to tie this next item into this week’s theme, but that’s just too bad… anyone know how I can get one of these baby sloths? (Maybe I could pretend that their nursery is a Dharma outpost.)
- Sorry for that tangent… it’s what I do. Anyway, I’m sure there will be lots of viewing parties for the Lost finale – I’d like to invite these dudes (I’ll miss you, Hurley) to mine:

Speaking of pups, I wonder if we’ll see Vincent again. As long as Vincent makes it out okay, at least I can take solace in the fact that the puppy had a happy ending in the Lost-iverse. (Speaking of, did you know that Vincent is played by a lady dog?)
So, as you settle in with your Dharma popcorn on Sunday night, what questions simply must have answers? Which characters will you miss the most? I’m a Ben, Sawyer, and Miles fan myself – perhaps Lost could spin those characters off into a sitcom (special guest star John Locke, non-Smokey edition). It could be followed by a Desmond/Penny sitcom, for a night of Lost-themed comedy.
Final thoughts… How does the sideways world connect to the island? Why have I not started calling everyone I know Sawyer-esque nicknames? What is with that stupid light in the middle of the island, and why did it remind me of a log flume ride when Jacob tossed Smokey in there? Did Allison Janney and Crazy Claire patronize the same ratty wig shop? Why does everyone in the sideways world still remember their flight number days after they land in L.A.? I don’t even know my flight number when I’m on the actual flight.
I hope that Sunday night’s finale doesn’t disappoint – if they suddenly cut to black and play a Journey song, I will have to consider swearing off TV forever. (Though if I had to pick one, I’d suggest Wheel in the Sky.)
Farewell, Lost – and thanks for killing off Boone, which allowed Ian Somerhalder to skip on over to the CW and play Damon on The Vampire Diaries. For that, I will always be grateful.
