Looking For “Lost”

All Lost junkies had to be blown away by the last episode (and if you don’t watch Lost, you’re depriving yourself of some quality entertainment).

I learned a while back that if you only watch the show, you’re probably missing out on half the action. The creators do an amazing job each week of tucking details in the background and intertwining the characters’ backstories. It’s too much for the average viewer to catch so you have to enlist the aid of the uber-fans in the newsgroups/discussion boards. I swear, some of these people are nuclear physicists analyzing the show frame-by-frame and presenting complex mathematical algorithms explaining everything that happens. Meanwhile, all I have to offer is, “That bar in the flashback is Murphy’s in downtown Honolulu. I used to get shitfaced there in college.”

I love all the extra tidbits I pick up on the boards. For instance, I didn’t realize that the woman whose house Locke inspected last week was Nadia, Sayid’s ex-lover. And I don’t pay attention to the appearances of the numbers in every episode. Luckily, these obssessed freaks, I mean helpful contributors, do catch all that. The only problem is, all of the discussion boards I’ve found get about a thousand posts a day making it impossible to really follow any discussions. So I’m asking for help in finding a good board that only gets about 100 posts a day but still has a healthy share of Lost geeks who know all the miniscule details. Can anybody recommend one? Or maybe a site with a nice compilation of all the “extras”? I’d settle for any suggestions on how I can inject this show directly into my bloodstream. It’s that damn good.

Here I’ve published the photo of the map for anybody who’s interested (click to enlarge). This particular version has all the comments typed out so it’s easy to read (I believe the original came from EW while the comments were added by Stylez. I should say, it’s easy to read if you have the Image Zoom extension in Firefox). You can also find an excellent copy of the map with the original writing here. Finally, I added a few Lost links to my blogroll. I highly recommend checking out The Lost Notebook- it’s a cool looking site that has all the basic information about the show and the characters neatly organized. It’s a great resource for regular viewers and essential for new viewers.

So fess up- how many Lost fans here? And can you hook a junkie sistah up?
