  1. And some of us will be chatting, too, so jump into http://videogum.com/CHAT for Monster Bonding.

      • I’ve never watch Lost, there was really no reason to watch it for me since it didn’t include Pepper Ann, but I wanna watch the last season. Can someone catch me up?

        • If you’re being for real about never watching it, I think it would be great if you could watch this season without any background research and try to make sense of it. Maybe make a blog of it (blogs, bleh). Anyways I think it would be super entertaining to read.

        • Tonight at 8 o’clock, ABC is showing a new recap episode that covers off a good portion of the main story points from all five seasons thus far; highly recommended if you’re serious about watching this new season with no background knowledge of the show.

        • Flight 815 took off from Sydney on September 22nd, 2004. It landed on a mysterious island. Jack is a doctor, Kate is a fugitive, Sawyer is a conman, Locke was paralyzed but could walk again, you get the gist. Jack follows his dead dad to water. Everyone drinks. Sawyer is tortured by Sayid. Sawyer gets a kiss from Kate. Sayid walks in shame. Finds Rousseau, gets tortured, is freed, and hears the whispers. Claire is attacked. Hurley runs a census. Hurley finds out “one of them wasn’t on the plane!”. Ethan takes Claire and Charlie. Ethan hangs Charlie. Jack saves Charlie. Locke and Boone find a hatch. Claire returns. Charlie kills Ethan. Locke loses his legs. Boone finds a plane. Boone dies. Locke cries (“WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!”). Locke sees light. All better. Jack tries to save Boone, but fails (cause he sucks). Aaron is born (life and death). Michael builds a raft. Rousseau comes to the camp (“The Others are coming”). Jack and Locke plan to hide everyone in the hatch (BLOW THAT SHIT UP WITH DYNAMITE, YO). Michael launches the raft with Sawyer, Jin and Walt. Arzt blows up. Jack and Locke blow up the hatch. Hurley sees the numbers (THE NUMBERS ARE BAD). Michael finds rescue (not!); it’s Tom Friendly and the Others. They take Walt (WALLLT!). Jack and Locke remove the hatch, look down, and see a broken latter (we wait an infuriating 6 months).

          • I think that the insanity of this sentence accurately sums up the Lost experience:

            “Jack is a doctor, Kate is a fugitive, Sawyer is a conman, Locke was paralyzed but could walk again, you get the gist.”

        • Scene opens with a man in a room. Turns on some Mama Cass (You gotta make your own kind of music), does some sit ups, makes a protein shake and BAM. Looks through a bunch of telescopes to find Jack and Locke staring down a hatch. Jack meets Desmond while exercising, then meets him again in the hatch holding a gun to Locke’s head (you!). Locke watches and Orientation video with Marvin Candle explaining they must press the button every 108 minutes (4 8 15 16 23 42). Jack runs after Desmond (crying, obviously). Desmond remembers him. Hurley gives away all the food. Sun and Jin are still separated (sad). Michael, Sawyer and Jin are captured by what we think are the Others, but really are the survivors of the tailsection (ugh, Ana Lucia). They trek across the island to get back with Jack’s camp. Shannon is abandoned. Sees visions of Walt. Runs into the jungle and shot by Ana Lucia (oh snap). Sayid is hella pissed. Ana Lucia is a cop who was shot and lost her baby. Eko was a warlord turned priest with his brother’s dead body on the island (what?), and Libby is…wait, who the fuck is Libby? Sayid forgives Ana (still sad though). Michael goes off to find Walt (WALLLT!). Jack, Sawyer and Locke go off to chase him. They meet Tom Friendly and The Others instead and are told to “never cross the line” (PWNED). Charlie breaks up with Clair (becomes Darth Charlie). Sawyer takes all the guns (and steals Cassidy’s money). Sayid meets Henry Gale (ONE OF THEM), tortures him and gets blood everywhere. Claire remembers what happened when Ethan took her (meets Alex Rousseau). Sun might have had extramarital relationships (and is pregnant…when JIN IS IMPOTENT. WHAT THE?). Locke and Henry have philosophical musings over Doestoevsky. Locke gets trapped in a lockdown. Henry draws a map for Ana Lucia to find his balloon (his alibi). Locke gets trapped in a lockdown (pun!). Henry helps him. Sayid comes back. Points a gun and is all like “bitch you ain’t no Henry Gale”. Michael comes back. Has some bullshit story. Kills Ana Lucia and Libby and frees Henry Gale. Michael convinces Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer to follow him. Turns out to be an ambush. Sayid sees a four toes statue. Henry Gale lets Michael and Walt off the island. Locke doesn’t want to press the button anymore, but Eko does. Desmond comes back on his boat (you?). Locke and Desmond find out what happens when they don’t press the button. The button is the reason the plane crashed. Locke still thinks its fake. Desmond doesn’t. Desmond blows up the whole dam. Locke is remorseful (I was wrong). Penny detects the explosion and is all like “ooo im going to find my man”.

        • Juliet is all like, “Bitch, I love Stephen King. I don’t care what Ben likes”. Earthquake. Everyone goes outside. HOLY SHIT THERE’S A PLANE SPLITTING APART IN THE AIR. Henry Gale is all like, “Ethan and Goodwin. Go be spies and shit”. Jack is locked in an aquarium. Juliet is all like, “Hey look at my boobies. I look like your wife. Let me prey on your sympathies”. Henry Gale is like, ‘Good job Juliet’. Juliet’s like, ‘Thanks Ben’ (Oh snap, his real name is Ben). Sun is a whore and slept with a Korean Mr. Clean. Locke is revitalized, is amenable to coercion and saves Mr. Eko. Nikki and Paulo should die (and they do). Desmond can see the future. Sawyer has a daughter (Clementine is a great name). There are two islands. Ben memorizes every line from John Steinbeck novels. Eko dies cause he doesn’t repent to his brother. Kate was married, but a ‘tiger don’t change its stripes’ and she runs away. Kate bones Sawyer. Jack agrees to perform surgery on Ben. Uses it to his advantage to help Kate and Sawyer escape (Dammit Kate Run!). Juliet was a fertility doctor. Ben and Richard Alpert brought her to the island. Wants nothing more but to get back to her sister. Desmond has flashes. After he turned the failsafe key, he flashes back to himself years prior (when he was with Penny). Some white haired lady is like, “No bitch. You belong on that island”. Desmond accepts his fate. Tells Charlie he’s going to die. Jack has tattoos (great) and is sitll with the Others. Kate gets Sayid, Locke and Rousseau to find Jack. Sayid finds the Flame. Meets Mikhail. Beatrice dies. Locke enters 77. Place goes kaboom. Claire was a goth girl and is Jack’s half sister. Locke blows up a submarine. Kate and Sayid are cuaght. Locke listens to Ben. Ben shows him what came out of the box (DAD?). Kate is left behind wiht Juliet. They find Jack and Sayid. They go back to camp. Juliet is accepted into the camp after saving Claire’s life, but we find out she’s a mole (OH HELL NO GIRL). Desmond sees flashes. A helicopter lands on the island. It’s Naomi. She tells Hurley that flight 815 was discovered on the bottom of the ocean (Uh, what?). Sun’s baby belongs to Jin’s. Juliet is all like, “Oh man. I love babies. I hate Ben. I’m going to help Jack). Locke can’t be an other until he kills his dad. Locke employs Sawyer to do this because his dad is the REAL SAWYER (oh they just blew our fucking minds). Sawyer Jabba the Hutts the shit out of real Sawyer. Locke brings back his dad to Ben. Ben takes him to Jacob. Ben killed the Dharma Initiative. Jacob is no where to be seen. Cabin starts shaking. Ben shoots Locke. Leaves him to die in a pit. Charlie accepts his fate, writes his greatest hits. Jack is a drug addict. Jack and co. blow up the others (Juliet flipped that shit on Ben’s dick). Locke wakes up, is saved by a taller Ghost Walt. Ben is beaten up. Charlie dies (Not Penny’s Boat). Jack gets in contact with the freighter off the island. Jack meets Kate at LAX. We realize it’s a flashforward (WE HAVE TO GO BACK KATE).

        • Hurley’s all like, hey yo check out my car. Busts through some fruits. Jack’s like ‘dammit”. Hurley’s like “I’M ONE OF THE OCEANIC 6″. Camps divide (team locke v. team jack v. team edward v. team jacob). Freighter folk come. Faraday the scientist. Charlotte the anthropologist. Miles the ghost hunter. Frank the pilot. Sayid is working for Ben off the island. Kate is taking care of Aaron off the island. Jack and Kate are engaged off the island. Sun has her baby off the island (and Jin is dead..or is he?). Michael comes back. Desmond reaches his constant (tear). Ben get’s his daughter killed. Summons smokey, kills bad guys. Jack gets appendicitis (huh?). Locke has to move the island. The Oceanic 6 gets off the island. Desmond finds Penny (awww). Jin blows up on the freighter. Christian tells Michael he could go now. Everyone has to lie. Locke is now Jeremy Bentham and is in a coffin.

        • Faraday bumps into Marvin Candle. Locke moved the island. Island is flashing. Characters flashing through time. Jack wants to bring everyone back together (including dead Locke). Eveyrone’s like “no, you idiot”. Desmond gets a new memory, looks for Faraday’s mom. Faraday’s mom tells Ben, “you have to get them all back”. Charlotte dies, Dan cries. Rousseau meet Jin. Jin meet Rousseau. Locke fixes the island. Dies off the island (Ben strangled his dumbass). Everyone ends up in Dharma times. Jakc and co end up on Flgiht 316 after Faraday’s mom (Eloise) instructed them to do so. They end up in Dharma as well. Sawyer is now La Fleur, boning Juliet and has a nicer disposition. Jin speaks english and has funny hair. Kate come sback and is all like, “Oh Sawyer remember me? We boned in a cage. How sick was that?”. Sayid shoots baby Ben. Kate takes him to the Others to be saved (Richard Alpert takes him into a dark cave and steals his innocence). Locke is ressurected. Ben is like “oh fuck”. Ben is jduged by the monster. A dead Alex shows up and tells him to do everything Locke does. Miles is Marvin Candle’s son. Faraday comes back from Ann Arbour. Tells Jack and co. they’re not supposed to be there. Wants to blow up an H-bomb to reset time and space. Faraday goes to see hsi mother. His mom shoots him. Kills him and is like, “oh wait. what?”. Locke tells Ben he needs to kill Jacob. Ben is like, huh? Jack gets a nuke, throws it into the hole and nothing happens. Everything goes ape shit. Juliet dies (fucking sad). Ilana (shit i didn’t meniton her story, oh well) brings Locke’s body to Richard after Richard took Locke and Ben to see Jacob. Sun is like, “I’m a dumb bitch. I don’t get anything. Who’s body is that? Who is Locke”. That was a bit harsh, I know. Locke is like, ‘What’s up Jacob? Remember me?’. Jacob’s like, “Oh. You found a loophole, you fucking dick”. Ben’s like, “Hey what about me?” Jacob’s like, ‘What about you?’. Ben knifes the shit out of him, CS style. Jacob says “theyre coming”. Juliet wakes up at a bottom of a pit. Gets a rock. Smashes the nuke. Everything goes to white.

    • is there a secret to getting chat to work? or am i dumb?

    • Why does this this link keep taking me to the “This page doesn’t exist” page… What am I missing here?

      • The link that I clicked had a comma after “chat.” If you delete it in the address bar, it takes you to where you need be.

        Or WHEN you need to be.

      • Not sure. I put the “chat” part of the link in all-caps, and I think that may have caused problems. Did you try just http://videogum.com/chat/ ? Sometimes Firefox doesn’t co-operate with the chat, either, so maybe try Explorer?

    • so we will take our pants off, or we will leave our pants off? Either way, its happening!

  2. It’s so lonely on the west coast.

    • shiiiiit, its so lonely in the chat right now. I’m in there by myself, screaming at the internet

    • when will we get our pizza party?

    • I hear ya. I made the mistake of actually using the Internet between the hours of 6 and 9 while LOST was on last season, and was inundated by spoilers. Not cool, humans in the future! Not cool at all…

      • Thanks for the no internet from six until I am done watching Lost reminder. The west coast can suck sometimes, it is a tie between between falling clean water levels and knowing that a majority of America is watching something a hour to three hours before I am able to, for the worst part of living on the west coast.

  3. Will there be palpable tension and a drunken father to tell me I turned out kinda ‘faggy’?

    Because otherwise it just won’t feel like a family get together…

  4. I dunno…i had kind of had a standing date with no one who i’d have to yell ‘shut the eff up i’m watching my goddamn show’ to …i’m even sending my dog to grandma’s for the evening…but if you can behave i guess i’ll grace you with my presence.
     
    see you there! ICAN’TWAIT!I”MSOEXCITED!!

  5. Yes! I love it when we friendsgum it up in here.

  6. I’m attending a get together where Shepard’s pie will be served for dinner, with chocolate e-Claire-s for dessert. Really. We are THAT gay for Lost.

  7. i just finished first five seasons in the past month, i can’t wait to actually see an episode on it’s first airing…

  8. Guys I am so excited you have no idea.

  9. Oh, I will be watching Lost. Unfortunately, I will be far too real-life engrossed to e-talk about it here. I can’t multitask Lost. I’m sorry!

  10. Gabe’s recaps of Lost are my hands down favorite Videogum regular content, I’m probably just as excited for them as the show itself.

  11. toolbox to all of our domes.

  12. I want to watch with you guys SOOO bad, but I have to wait until the internet uploads a torrent :( LONGEST. WAIT. EVER. I’ll be with you all in spirit and I’ll probably leave my comments later even though they’ll lack the exciting relevancy of live-commenting!

    • I say you have 2 hours to make some friends who have cable. Hurry, there’s no time to waste!

    • i have a stream?

      also: NO WAY NO WAY BULLSHIT

      • Woohoo! Due to my tendency to neglect basic responsibilities like returning my cable box after cancelling my service over a year ago, I have hooked it back up to illegally watch the basic cable that I still get for unknown reasons. Sometimes neglecting responsibilities pays off (rarely)!

  13. The very special Biggest Loser can get Lost. PAH!

  14. If anyone would like to join me at 9pm to watch Last Restaurant standing. Join me at imreallysorryeveryonebutlostisjustnotforme.net/ihatebeingleftoutbuthisismychoice

    See you there!

  15. Does anyone know how I can stream it tonight? Or does anyone in Seattle want to have me over to watch it? I will bring pot.

  16. Since I live in the Mountain Time Zone (yes that’s a real thing), I get all TV from the Central Time Zone, but an hour earlier. Which means the new episode starts at 8p my time, which is 10p for all you East Coasters. Otherwise, I’d totally LOST it out with all of you.

  17. I’ll be on to chat at 11, or whenever I finish freaking out. Whichever comes first.

  18. I am so damn stoked.

  19. Hoping for L.O.L.
    Lots of Linus cuz duh.

  20. Richard Alpert’s permanent eyeliner is impressive.
