Lost : I'm err, lost.

[layne67]

Does anyone on my flist follow Lost faithfully? I used to love that show ( season 1 was awesome! ) but I stopped watching it after the second season. I've started watching season 5 because I want to see Mark Pellegrino in the finale. But unfortunately I couldn't make head or tail of any of the episodes. I'm currently at episode 7 and most of the time I was pulling my hair out by the roots, I was so frustrated.

My kids are avid fans and they said something about the show having several timelines and that the island can be moved? But judging from their shifty eyes, I suspect that they don't really get it either.

I wonder if someone could please give me a condensed version of season 5? I was thinking of going straight to the finale without watching the rest of the episodes, but minus spoilers from the finale. Anyone? Please?

ETA : Spoilers for Lost season 5 finale in the comments.

Oh, yeah, they film at least twice a season at Ezri's school. That's, what? 12 times since s1? I guess the cathedral and the classrooms are suitably creepy enough to transform into anything. In s1 it was the dance studio Shannon was in, and Charlie's hometown. In s2, I think it was Iraq once... Um, it was also the church where Jin and Sun got married, and a college campus (lots of coeds wearing tweed skirts and scarves... poor things, it was 89F that day). I don't know what else because, like I said, I stopped watching the show. We've seen Jin, Sun, Jack, Juliet, Desmond, Charlie, Shannon, er, Sayid, Hurley... Haven't seen Sawyer or Kate.

Okay, that's not completely true, Ezri and I were having lunch one day and sat next to Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan. They were obviously together, playing footsie under the table and holding hands. Ezri must have been 4 or 5 years old, and she dropped her crayon on the floor. Evangeline picked it up for her and then spent the rest of lunch drawing pictures with Ezri on the back of her placemat. It was really sweet.

I met Daniel Day Kim a couple of years ago when our kids were applying to Iolani and Punahou. His son is the same age as Kira, and quite a good looking kid. Anyway, while sitting outside, waiting for our children to finish with their interviews, we had a chat about which school we'd pick if they got into both. Kira ended up at Iolani, but I went to Punahou and I think Kira was mad at me for talking Daniel Day Kim into sending his kid to Punahou instead. LOL

Anyway, when they film at Ezri's school, the trailers take over the parking lot. There are trailers for the actors, wardrobe, props. It's crazy! And they cook outside so the food smells amazing! It really causes problems for the parents who are trying to pick up their kids, though (like me).

That's so cool!! They're practically your neighbours!

Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan. They were obviously together

There's quite a number of Dom/Elijah shippers on my flist who think that EL and Dom aren't really together together, but from what you saw of them together, I guess that's not true?

ETA : I'm with Kira here. You and Kim could have been in-laws!! :DDDDDD

I enjoyed reading that, even though it's a reply for Layne XP
