Emerson Shares Wife\'s \'Lost\' Viewing Habit

You know those Oceanic 815 plane crash images that ran after Jack’s (Matthew Fox) eye closed and the “Lost” logo appeared on our TV screens? Some “Lost” fans and TV critics have wondered if they were a last Easter egg from the producers, a clue meant to lead us to conclude that no one survived Oceanic 815′s crash landing — and therefore everything we’ve seen over the last six years never really happened.

Well, ABC wants to clear the air: Those photographs were not part of the “Lost” story at all. The network added them to soften the transition from the moving ending of the series to the 11 p.m. news and never considered that it would confuse viewers about the actual ending of the show.

“The images shown during the end credits of the ‘Lost’ finale, which included shots of Oceanic 815 on a deserted beach, were not part of the final story but were a visual aid to allow the viewer to decompress before heading into the news,” an ABC spokesperson wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

That means, Losties, that we were not supposed to think that Christian Shepherd (John Terry) is a liar. What Christian told his son, when they were reunited at the church, should serve as guidance for our interpretation of the series’ ending.

So let’s review: Christian told Jack that he was dead and everyone else in the church was too — some had died before Jack, as we already knew, and some died long after. The sideways flashes then were a step in everyone’s after-lives, a way to reconnect before moving on permanently. While there still may be unanswered questions related to that religious and spiritual conclusion to the “Lost” story, the photographs were really just a nostalgic, transitional touch added by ABC executives — and not executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

Love or hate it, that’s the final answer.

I was all set to watch the much anticipated LOST finale this past Sunday. Had the snacks and wine ready. Tissues were handy for tears I knew would be shed. Set to watch on my HD tv through my HD dvr/cable box. Just a smidge before 9PM, the picture on our local ABC affiliate began to break up. About a half hour into it, I decided to reboot my dvr box thinking it was a cable problem. Show was 2 1/2 hours long, wouldn’t hurt. That didn’t help. It was the station’s feed, not the cable. Really?! Finally had to watch on the regular cable feed just to see the finale. Here’s what the station had to say for itself.

And to add insult to injury, a little over halfway through the Jimmy Kimmel special the cable went totally out! I’m sure, if you had opened your windows you would have heard the angry outcry from Losties in the WEWS viewing area. The ones I really feel sorry for are those that had parties to view the finale. So, it’s on to rerecording the whole thing on Saturday and watching as we should have been able to on Sunday.
