It’s hard for me to even explain the emotions that I and many others experienced over the course of this final season of LOST. I did my very best to encapsulate these emotions and opinions into our discussion of the last episode ever, “The End,” but when the time came, I had no idea what to say, and have been literally thinking about it non-stop ever since that final image rolled across our eyes.

At that very moment — after those final, impactful story seeds were implanted into our fertile and eager brains — I have to admit: I wasn’t happy; I was confused and unsure of what I had witnessed. I refused to react with the vicious tenacity that most seemed to be doing (whether in praise or slander), and instead chose to wait; I chose to let those seeds rest and grow overnight and to see what things felt like today. Every second of the remainder of my evening up until my crossover into sleep was spent pondering, and when I awoke, confusion was still the dominant emotion.

But thanks to the endless web of networks that exists on Twitter, I was pointed in a few directions that promised perspective and perhaps even closure. I found myself reading a few different in-depth pieces, which took me in, sat me down with a nice cup of tea, and shared their thoughts. It is in these places where I’ve realized that I am happy with how Lost ended, and it feels really good.

It’s a sad, sad night for fans everywhere as the final episode of LOST, called “The End,” has just concluded, leaving us to ponder its existence, effect, lingering questions, and importance on popular culture for the rest of our days.

No, we still haven’t even gotten over the loss of Battlestar Galactica, so it’s clear this will be difficult to overcome. BSG even gave us a spinoff series (The Sawyer & Miles Bad Guy Chasin’ Hour? Hurley & Miles: Ghost Chasers? Anyone?), which while excellent, still doesn’t give us the characters we love and miss so much, and this will be the same for Lost and our beloved island-imprisoned survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.

Nevertheless, the show must go on. There will be time for mourning later, but for now, there are things to discuss, and that’s what we’re here for. Last year, an epic discussion and bounty of wonderful theories unfolded here at Geeks of Doom (Read: “˜Lost’ Season 5 Finale Discussion: Let Your Theories Fly! ). Now that Lost has concluded forever, theories mean nothing, and all that’s left is to decide if the show lived up to its promise of being the greatest TV venture of all time, or did this last season, and ultimately, the series finale, cause the show to falter and swerve off-course?

Don’t waste anymore time — head on over to the other side to read our thoughts on the finale and the series as a whole, and be sure to hit the comments below to share your thoughts and what Lost has meant to you. And as always, don’t go there if you want to avoid spoilers, sillies. This is a discussion and a celebration of one of the greats; make sure you get a piece of cake and take part!

One of the most entertaining things to see when it comes to your favorite movies and TV shows is the audition videos of the cast and maybe even the auditions of famous stars who didn’t get a particular role.

While we don’t have any of those here, we do have plenty of the audition tapes of most of your favorite stars from ABC’s Lost. With the curtain set to fall on the show in just about 24-hours now, what better way to make a weekend of it than by witnessing the very beginnings of these characters and the stars who would play (some of) them. The auditions were commonly used as funny special features on the Lost DVDs, but if you have not seen them yet, now you have your chance.

Be sure to click on over to the other side to check out ten of these audition tapes.

Many of you may have seen this already, but I’m slow and only just got around to it. If you’ve not seen it and are a fan of Lost, however, it’s not to be missed!

Last Tuesday on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the late night talk show host was discussing that night’s episode of Lost, titled “Across the Sea.” The episode gave us the backstory of long-time island dwellers Jacob and the Man in Black, who we were introduced to in the Season 5 finale. Many people actually disliked the episode, which is completely beyond me. The episode was nowhere near the best we’ve ever seen, but it was a unique time and place on the island that offered us many answers to big questions.

After talking about the episode, Kimmel talked about the game that we’ve seen the two figures playing on the island, and then introduced a clip of the new game that would help them pass the time away much easier: Connect Four Million!

Head on over to the other side to watch the video right now! Be warned: there are some spoilers here. Nothing that will ruin the show for you, but enough to approach cautiously. Just skip past the talking at the beginning to about the 1:00 mark.

It’s always entertaining to see and hear the gushing praise of a legend in the film or TV industry toward a popular show or movie or anything of significance.

Recently, the man behind the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, George Lucas, did just that by sending a letter to Lost producers including Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, J.J. Abrams, and everyone else who have put so much work into creating such an amazing ride over the past six years. The letter was read aloud at a big Lost event that was held this past Thursday.
