Fri, 10 November 2006 ...for the pre-hiatus episode, but only because Andrew and I just HAPPENED to be hanging out at the time. :) I'll try and post the audio tonight.
It will have no editing.
Just FYI.
Do not expect production fireworks. We got this file and just enough time to hit "upload" and update the feed. But we thought you guys would want it anyway. :)
And one thing to say about that episode:
That cage sex could NOT have been hygenic.

Fri, 3 November 2006 I have not yet posted an episode recap...why? I've been running around since Wednesday night like this: AUUUUUUUUUUUGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHEKKOOOOOEUUGGHGHGHGH! Category: Episode Recaps -- posted at: 3:49 PM Comments[25] |
Thu, 26 October 2006 Ohmycostanzas do I love me some Sawyer. Seriously, how stick-a-pin-in-my-jolty-heart good was he this week? And how BAD are the Others as liars? OK, well, I should rephrase. I was just as horrified as you all (that's right, own it, you were shouting and throwing your Mac 'n' Cheese at the TV set, you know it) when Benry shook that bunny to seeming death. All I could say the entire rest of the episode was, "He killed the bunny. He killed the bunny. He killed. The bunny." I mean, forget torture and human experiments, kidnapping, infiltration, bribes, coercion, beating of Sawyer, tricking of Sawyer, cutting into Sawyer's beautiful chestâ?¦ the thing that made him utterly, irrevocably evil for ALL TIME was the killing of the bunny. You know it. And still, they DID paint an 8 on the bunny, which is almost as cruel. So, if you have bunnies with 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 (I know I'm missing one) on them, one of each number on each, and put them all in the crazy teacups ride at Coney Island, will their magic jigger explode the universe? Alas, Desmond was not with the nekkid. He *was* with the crazy lightning-rod-building, saving-claire's-lifeness of everything. Here's a brain-cooker, brain-fryer, brain-wok, whatever: Why when the LOSTies look out from their Island do they not see the OTHER Island? Don't give me the "but they're not directly facing that Island" theory - if they're not, then Sayid and Jin and Sun just traveled half the dang thing and no sign of other land, soâ?¦ what's going on? We saw the plane crash, right above them - with all their hiking, SOMEONE would have been able to see a glimpse of land from SOME shore, SOMEWHERE, whether they were a Tailie, a Fusie (??), someone on the doomed sailboat mission, the loony French Rambette, SOMEONE would know that there is another Island there. So what do they use? Mirrors? Is this all very Truman show? And here's another cooker: Someone (we aren't told who but are nudged to believe it's Benry, and given his little soliloquy at the end of this episode I would agree) has rapidly advancing cancer. Yet Rose's cancer is gone. What's the dealie, yo? Why does Rose get the voo doo and Benry (or whomever) does not? Other points: -Has Kate NOT CAUGHT ON yet that they're LISTENING to her and watching her? God, woman! Then again, Benry was pretty much only looking at Sawyer. What's the deal. Does she know anything about what's happening? -Sawyer gave lots of money to his child. We thought he was a "bad" guy coming into all this; are we wrong? Did he redeem himself there? Did he also by doing that book himself a one-way to the Island of Love? -Speaking of Love: Kate - full of it? Full of love, or just "it"? -How hilarious were the Others with their needle? "I don't know where to stick it! Oh, is that the sternum? I'm looking for his heart, right, so I'll just stick it right where my model says the stomach is. Don't crowd me! I'm performing surgery that to anyone with a brain would require open heart procedures, here! And when he wakes up he has to think we did all that through a little peephole in his chest! I'm under PRESSURE, OK!? If YOU'RE so smart, YOU rig up the Sawyer!" -Talking of torture: For the love of Elmer Fudd, they made Jack watch DUCKS? -I'm so tired of Charlie. "I'll fix the roof! I mean, rearrange the bamboo. It's a job I CAN DO THANK YOU, get out of here with your Scottish accent and penchant for nekkidness." -Are Claire's roots finally showing? -WHEN will Benry's lip cuts heal? Yeah yeah only been a week blahditty blah. -Random new hot guy playing golf: Lot of angst there for not having really been there this whole time. Did we see YOU stepping up to run off into the jungle? NO. We KNOW you weren't written into it until this season but still. Don't complain when you didn't volunteer for the hard stuff in the first place. -And, honestly, after all this I think we learned one big thing: BENRY is the weak link in them all. He's the lonely poor baby who never got affection from mama and now he's sad. Sad, sad, Benry. Watch me cry. But watch him be the key to the main three's escape.

Thu, 19 October 2006 First, thanks for all the nice comments: If you want Andrew and John to also post theories and thoughts, bother them at andrew at staff dot mugglenet dot com or john at the-leaky-cauldron dot org. Meanwhile! I have two words about last night's episode: Nekkid Desmond! Nekkid Desmond Nekkid Desmond Nekkid Desmond Nekkid Desmond! Tie-dye hippy-happy now-clairvoyant boy, nekkidly looking out into a clear day and seeing forever. That's right, guys, nekkid!Desmond is also I Can See Clearly Now the Hatch is Gone!Desmond, otherwise known as newly Powerful See-the-future!Desmond. And I like it. As long as he keeps the tie-dye. Some more thoughts: 1. Do they all have powers now? Nekkid!Clairvoyant!Desmond, TalkToTheIsland!Locke, and will it be, Kung-Fu-Fighting-With-My-Jesus-Stick!Eko? Or, perhaps Eko will have some other cool power, like being able to attract small objects to him and his barrel chest. Maybe he can start with Charlie's brain, and beat some sense into it. Seriously, Charlie, what the heck? You've been on the island two months, get over the whole Don't Tell Me What To Do wah-wah, and on to the, I'm Above Immature Displays of Insecurity Beause I'm Man Enough to Know that Survival Is Better Than Stupidity, ok? I'm done with it. Anyway, theory: the electromagnetic whosiewhatsit that caused the hatch to implode sucked them all into some alternate-universe kind of wave, like an electromagnetic wave, and now they are a bit more "one" with the Island than they were. That's why they weren't harmed; they were incorporeal at the time. If Charlie's vicinity means he was, too, then this explains his total, "Durrrrh, Claire, nothing happened in the hatch. I was high at the time," attitude. 2. Locke's flashback - I really, really, thought perhaps we'd see how Locke lost use of his legs. I do think this is post-Helen, though; didn't he say he robbed a bank? That would be post-Helen, I think. I LOVED how the whole Earth Mother lady got all Bonnie and Clyde later on. And all the pot! LOL! WHY do all the commune hippies grow weed on these things? It's so cliche; it reminds me of the VERONICA MARS episode when there was this big to do made about that "tent" and it turns out they're growing this "awesome" product and it was...POINTSETTIA PLANTS. At least they knew to throw a cliche in the dustbin where it belongs and replace it with a cash crop that would make even the non-gentiles chortle. 3. Polar bear: Could he tie in to the eskimos and hatchgloo form the end of season two? Or is it more Dharma experimentation? 4. Boone's apparently got some stylin' going on in the afterlife. Bad hair, but dude looks good. 5. The Jesus stick in its very identity makes me laugh. It needs do nothing but appear, and I laugh. 6. The two new people: Best slip-ins ever. "Hi, we'll just act like we've been here all along, because the good doctor isn't here to hotten up this place. Everyone just act normal, k? Thanks." 7. Locke: Hi everyone! I'm the new Jack! Please treat me accordingly! Thanks! 8. Desmond: I will skip rocks into the oblivion to see if I can tell where they land before they get there. A ha! Knew it'd only do three jumps! -Melissa Category: Episode Recaps -- posted at: 2:52 PM Comments[17] |
Thu, 12 October 2006 I had a whole LONG post here and libsyn ATE it when I made a new category. UGHGHGHGH. Anyway, last night's show: 1. Finally, finally, finally a timeline. Boston Red Sox, George W. Bush, an outside world. I could hear the fandom exploding in pops and bangs as it occurred. 2. As much as I despise Benry is about as much as I love his acting during the Boston Red Sox thing. He was all psyched for his dramatic reveal, his big moment, his timeline - and his complete frustration at Jack's reaction was just flustered pricelessness. "No, really, they were down three games..." Hahahah. It might be one of my favorite TV moments ever. 3. Kate: I still want to know what happened between her IHOP-in-hell breakfast with Benry and being dropped off at the cage. Her hands were just a bit too red and raw for that to have been caused by a hot bacon incident. It could be makeup, explicitly shown to Sawyer to get him feeling sorry for her straight off. 4. The rocks: Is this just another play situation like the cages? Are they just trying to force variables upon Sawyer and Kate to see how they act? Is the dress on Kate so that Sawyer will be more likely to fall for her? Are they trying to get these two together in order to wedge them from Jack, whom I strongly suspect they're trying to turn? And did I catch a real smile on Kate's face when talking about that kiss? 5. Speaking of the kiss: Sawyer, man. He knows how to size up his enemy and have fun while doing it. I love that guy. 6. Mr. Friendly: Totally gay. 7. Sayid, Sayid, Sayid. What kind of toy, GI Joe soldier are you? Your whole I-have-an-Iraqi-accent thing is wearing thin. This guy allowed a pregnant woman in this situation to sit silently on an unprotected BOAT, when his enemy is proven to be successful at capturing by water. Then he conveniently ignored that his enemy is a) smart enough to set up a decoy village and b) crazy enough to put it near that four-toed-foot statue, which surely won't trip the "weird" alarm. And ESPECIALLY when we've seen that the enemy is just-a-bit fetus-happy, he lets a pregnant woman sit all by her lonesome in a boat. So, Mr. I-will-do-things-to-them-you-wouldn't-even-nightmare-about, all your Republican Guard training hasn't set you up for the possibility that these deceptive people would see through your little makeshift smokestack? Oh, I feel better about your chances, sure. 8. Alex. Just a bit wistful over that dress. "Oh, I remember a time when I was their prisoner, slave and sex object. Sad." 9. Speaking of Alex, why is there none but one "older" other? Is that older one the mother figure? Benry says he's lived there his whole life - great, so, you were born on the Island. Like Aaron. Like Alex. Like Sun's baby. Is this village made up of those who were chosen to achieve that "balance" between man and nature and hence born into it? (I've been reading "The Lost Experience," against better judgment of my time.) 10. Are they hot for Kate's womb? Is that why they didn't harm her? Juliet, however, totally looked like she'd shoot Kate, perhaps just to screw with all the men. Love her. 11. Sun Sun sunsunsunsunsun. Practiced in deception. A cool liar. Will lying about the baby be too much? And if these Others knew all about Sun, do they know she's pregnant? Would they shoot at a pregnant lady? Were they shooting blanks? And if they were, why didn't they recruit Jin to help? (Har har.) 12. Who are the people watching Sawyer and Kate? Were those cages meant for bears who mated? And after all this time on the Island, are they really stupid enough to think no one's watching them? Much confusion and theory, Melissa Category: theories -- posted at: 12:52 PM Comments[7] |
Fri, 6 October 2006 Hey guys: Did you enjoy the opening of the season? We did. Well, I did, but I didn't ask John or Andrew about it yet. I'm sure Andrew liked it. John's moved six apartments in the past three days or so, so he's been occupied and probably hasn't seen it yet. I have only one thing to say: Why did the flight split in two? Has no one questioned this yet? If Desmond's magnetic magic only attracted the plane to the Island faster, WHY two parts? There had to be forces pulling at either end of the plane for that. So are there two nexii to this weird electromagic? (Note, I know it HAPPENED, doi, we know the back of the plane blew off in season one, and knew it split around season two-ish...what I want to know is WHY. It's just not been discussed enough around my sphere, which admittedly is not very wide. A crash is one thing; cracking like an egg is quite another. It could have crashed in any machination of ways - split down the middle? Why? Why were there two forces, seems to be the question, pulling them in opposite directions?) Anyway: As you've probably gleaned, we didn't watch it together, which only means one thing: We didn't record. And we're not going to. We're sorry, guys. Totally LOST is dead. Done. Gone. Bye. We did have fun while we were doing it, but it became a real hassle to align everyone's schedules to watch it together, and then we were suddenly putting way too much effort into a series that we don't have time to put way too much effort into. We're busy people to begin with, and the whole idea of this show (which some unexcusably rude people missed, then had the irony to call others stupid in the comments) was that we would be laid back about it, won't try and read all the theories, would experience it as pure audience members. If that made us seem so "dim," sorry. Like it or not, and no matter who the writers actually write it for, LOST is indeed for people who can watch it in a one-hour-per-week commitment. The show is in real danger of alienating new audiences who can't snap on to all the lore and theories, who've never looked it up on the internet, and who shouldn't have to. If they're requiring background reading material for people's evening entertainment they're going to go downhill VERY fast. I'm willing to bet that 90 percent or more of audience members barely remember the name of the Hanso foundation, have never heard of the Lost Experience outside of those weird commercials, and think "Bad Twin" is the name of a 1970s "Days of Our Lives" episode. The idea behind Totally LOST was that we were that viewer, because an hour a week was all we could give. But guys. It turned quickly into five hours a week, between planning and scheduling and recording. And, as we said so plainly, none of us has that to give. And we do have Potter podcasts to take care of, and prioritize. And we want to just sit back and watch the show, and be regular viewers. If the test here was whether one can be a regular viewer of something one podcasts about, the answer is probably no. This blog will stay up, probably, and we might come here and squeal as the major revelations come through this year. Thanks to the 10,000 listeners, 9,950 of whom we never thought would show up. If we thought we could keep it up, we would. The truth is, I had a better time watching the opening of the show this season than I did most of last season, because I didn't have to worry about anything but watching. So who should you listen to instead of us? If you don't already, The LOST podcast with Jay and Jack: They are the collective bomb, those tow, and nice to boot. Everyone at the Totally LOST Fan Forums, you were way too nice to us all the time! And to everyone over at the Thanks, guys! See you when Benry Gale gets his face chewed off, because that'll be cause for some celebration! Later peeps, Melissa Category: general -- posted at: 11:29 AM Comments[25] |

Mon, 2 October 2006 WILL BE OUT TONIGHT.
Get your season finale ready to re-watch, listen-along to, in time for the premiere of season three. It's how we planned it all along. Really.

Sat, 12 August 2006 Wow. There are a lot of you here now. When did this show get 10,000 listeners? While we were doing all the Potter stuff, apparently. We're very sorry for the holdup, but we told you guys straight out, at the beginning, that this was a lower priority than our Potter responsibilities - and we had a LOT of Potter responsibilities in the past few months. William did have the correct links to my files from the beginning, but they were accidentally linking to John's; by the time this was sorted out we had to move the files away. I gave him the correct links a few days ago. Well, look at it this way. You'll get the episode just in time to remember what happened at the finale for the new season. Right? Right. :) Thanks for the patience, and for understanding, and we'll see you all soon! -Melissa Category: general -- posted at: 7:59 PM Comments[71] |
Thu, 3 August 2006 Well, it's been 250 comments and quite a lot of criticisms, defenses, and dawlishes. As such, I felt that as part-time editor, I should fill you in on a few things. You may ask why I'm doing this now and it is because I'm really overstepping my territory as editor of only a few episodes by leaving a post on the blog of a podcast that truly is not mine, but enough time has past that you devoted fans deserve a little info. And here it is: 1.) As of today, I have John and Andrew's recordings. I do not have Melissa's because either something is the matter with her links or my computer, and I have not seen fit to badger her anymore than I have already. 2.) No I have not been fired, canned, sacked, etc., but the quality of my editing is probably deserving of such actions. 3.) I do not know when the podcast will be out because I don't know when I am going to get Melissa's recordings sorted out. I will try to contact her next week, hopefully she will see my post and contact me first in that time, but no promises there. 4.) I will be stepping down as editor after this episode because my school schedule will be far too hectic to try and fit in editing a podcast every week. I'm sure that Melissa, John, and Andrew will be able to find someone else far more qualified than I with there huge fan base, so worry not. Thank you all for your committment to this podcast and I would like to make it immensely clear that these are the words of me and me alone. I thought after weeks of waiting you deserved some answers in turn for your devotion. Sincerely, William Blake Category: general -- posted at: 9:24 PM Comments[20] |
Sat, 3 June 2006 Seriousy, yes, none of us had seen the show until we recorded. We're all busy enough that we had other distractions, but it was very hard to wait that long. The episode is coming; it's been held up by, of course, a recording glitch, and our too-busy lives which made us late in uploading the raw files. But why rush? We've got so long until another LOST that you need stuff to listen to in the meantime. :) Spread it out, people, spread it out. Sorry, it's coming soon. We swear. Category: podcasts -- posted at: 3:07 PM Comments[246] |
Tue, 30 May 2006 OK, we're finally recording the show, which means we're finally WATCHING the show. Expect it out fairly soon! :) As soon as William can crunch it up and spit it out. Damn, we're excited. Category: general -- posted at: 9:34 PM Comments[26] |
Sat, 20 May 2006 And, it's up! We recap last weeks episode including what's up with the Pearl Hatch, the sucker upper tube thing, and poor Hurley. In this ep: Want some fish? - Jin Is it a polar bear or an Ent? Andrew watches on a 24-inch black-and-white TV, Pearl Hatch style Durrr Michael is a dirty rotten scoundrel Cannibalizing Hurley. Complain to Melissa (who thinks it's cool to be corpulent but is thinking practically). John has read the "Bad Twin" book Jack's dad and Melissa should get a room Is it really all just big experiment and that's it? John thinks maybe so; Melissa thinks that would be hugely disappointing. Andrew thinks the boat is pretty. Comments[16] |
Thu, 18 May 2006 The episode will be up shortly, both here and on the feed. :) Category: general -- posted at: 9:09 PM Comments[5] |

Sat, 6 May 2006 Our third episode of Totally LOST covers this week's new LOST episode titled "Two for the Road". In between commercial breaks, the hosts conjure new ideas by discussing what's going on and guess what's going to happen next. The hosts are unsure of this week's episode because of the last episode that was less-than-thrilling. John calls one of the scenes the best LOST scene ever, Melissa goes on and on about Jack's dad, and Andrew got kinda-spoiled before the show even started. And a big shout out to our new editor William! PS: Yeah, we know about Goodwin, we remembered at the end of the show who he was. This is Totally Lost, guys, half the point is that we aren't completely versed in the Lost canon - for that I listen to Jay 'n' Jack. :) We're like Lost Podcast Lite. I think we might have to remind people of that once in awhile. :) Comments[23] |
Wed, 3 May 2006 FYI to answer all the emails: we are recording the show tomorrow - which MEANS, none of us have SEEN it yet so if any of you spill the beans on the comments we might kill you with one of Locke's knives. :) SHH! M Category: general -- posted at: 10:44 PM Comments[27] |
Tue, 18 April 2006 So here's what happened, folks: We recorded the show, and a tech problem frustrated us - it's probably fixable, and only takes some creative editing on John's part, but the problem is, as most of you know, we're supercrazybusy editors who had no business starting a podcast that needed serious editing ANYWAY. None of us have time to fix this, so we might release the thing with the first 10 minutes missing, or just not release it, or something. We don't know. In short, we were all sorta bored with the Rose and Bernard parts (how cruel and heartless are we? Still, get us into that HATCH, people, follow Jack and Kate, give us an Other, give us Mr. Friendly, give us Ethan in a tutu, we don't care, just stop messing around!), John's leaning to the electromagneticmania theory, Melissa's wondering where the hell Jack's dad is (yes, honestly, tell us weirder things than someone supposedly dead being not-so-much dead haven't happened on this show, and why are we not worried that his body has not been found but his coffin was, you know, not even damaged in the crash?), and Andrew...well, Melissa's writing this post from memory, and has no idea what Andrew contributed because she was dead at the time. Sorry, big guy; edit in here if you remember, because I suck. And now, the point: Are you an audio editor who's dying to do some thankless behind the scenes work chopping this thing together each week? Email us! We'll love you lots. PS: How flattered are we that you made us these fan forums? Very. Clearly we're not deserving of them, or you'd have a show to listen to this week... :) Category: general -- posted at: 4:00 PM Comments[31] |
Fri, 31 March 2006 It's our first show! We sorta suck, but promise to get better. In Totally LOST, Melissa, John and Andrew, regularly Harry Potter fans, stagger through episodes of this hit TV show, trying to see the forest for the trees and - oh, yeah - those metal hatches, loony French Rambettes, and dinner-theater rejects from hell, The Others. In each episode (at least while there are new shows) we'll watch the show together and talk during the commercial breaks, trying to puzzle through as the developments unfold. Then at the end we'll present a wrapup discussion that will be considered elementary by the legions of online LOSTies. We're just discovering this wacktastic new world - either come and learn with us, or come and laugh at us. Either way, we'll have fun. Comments[38] |
