Lost Episode 15, Across The Sea: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

When Lost delivers a metaphorical mouthful, it doesn’t seem to be satisfied until we’re gagging on the mediocre morsels that it leaves in its wake. This week was like a bank holiday Monday on the Island; everyone important has buggered off for a day, leaving it to that woman from The West Wing to do [...]

Lost Episode 14 ‘The Candidate’: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

Honestly, it’s not a good time to be a child in Lost. No sooner had Goat Baby been abandoned by its crusty crazy mother, now poor Ji Yeon has been made an orphan because her parents decided to be selfish and drown, like they were starring in a 1997 boat movie. Bastards. At least we [...]

Lost Episode 13 ‘The Last Recruit’: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

Well, that was all a bit of a Cocketease now, wasn’t it? If ever a Lost episode did so much and accomplished so little, then colour us surprised. But as all the candidates come together, we at least have the game set for an explosive finale – that’s if they have enough pyrotechnics left in [...]

Lost Episode 12 ‘Everybody Loves Hugo’: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

Hurley has been plagued with bad luck throughout Lost; he won the lottery with cursed numbers, was part of a plane crash and he kind of looks like a hairy ball bag. Yet, for some reason, you’ve got to love the enduring optimism of the old chubster. This week the camera does its best to [...]

Lost Episode 11 ‘Happily Ever After’: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

The most tranquil man to leave Scotland, Desmond Hume, finally returned to the island this week armed with his super-duper time travel powers. The two Lost timelines were thrust together in another bright explosion of illogical lunacy. Desmond faced his arch-nemesis, American TV’s go-to geriatric arsehole, Jim Robinson, who has grabbed the wounded Scotsman (We [...]

Lost Episode 10 ‘The Package’: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

While last week’s mythological mouthful left us more enlightened on Lost, it also chugged along at the pace of a two hundred year-old slave vessel. Black smoke monster, enslaved Spaniards, the questionable science of a wooden ship destroying a giant stone statue; it’s all poppycock we say. What we want is people running into trees. [...]

Lost Episode 9 ‘Ab Aeterno’: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

This is the type of Lost episode that has the globe-spanning über-fan circle-jerk taking it up a notch. The mother of all Others, Richard, finally got the episode detailing his past, as Lost goes all Count of Monte Cristo. One of Lost’s most outstanding abilities is how it can simultaneously provide a wealth of information [...]

Lost Episode 8 ‘Recon’: Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

This week marked the return of one of Lost’s most charismatic, beloved and endearing characters. No not Charlotte or Widmore, we’re talking about Goatskull Baby…

Lost Episode 7 ‘Dr. Linus’: A Deconstruction

by David Scarborough

Benjamin Linus: manipulative, Other, Black Smoke lover. There isn’t much the pupil-bulging puppet master won’t do for a slice of Island power; whether it be a spot of baby pinching, murdering omnipresent entities or just plain old blackmail. That Ben, eh? He’s a crazy coconut! While Lost continues to drip feed us to the point [...]
