On this episode of the Cranky Fanatic Lost Podcast we cover Lost Season 4 episode 10 titled “Something Nice Back Home”. This was a good plot-mover but wasn’t nearly as intense as last weeks show. This ended up being a short podcast because I had to pack for my trip to California for the Maker Faire. I only ended up getting about 2 1/2 hours of sleep that night, but on the bright side, I’m posting this from San Francisco!

Hi, I’m DawnOwar, your LOST Fashion Correspondent for CrankyFanatic.com.

Fashion is obviously very important to the Losties who always look *fabulous* no matter what harrowing circumstances they may be in.

Fashion Diva Kate opened this episode in her DIY tube top. Sometimes, when you’re sitting on the beach in your jeans in the hot sun, tank top straps are just too much to bear.

Also new for her this week is the headband made of something that looks like weeds. Obviously nothing more than a fashion statement as it doesn’t actually keep her hair out of her face at all.

The boys in Otherville have access to plumbing, washing machines, hair dryers, etc. so their clothes are all looking their best these days. Hurley’s clearly using hair product, and Sawyer’s been ironing his shirts. Even Locke is wearing a nice clean shirt, and he’s always the last one to change. Ben’s been shaving, so there’s no shortage of razors…

On this episode of the Cranky Fanatic Lost Podcast we have our minds blown by the INCREDIBLE episode given to us in season 4 episode 9, “The Shape of Things to Come”. We had a record breaking night, and more than 70 people joined into the live discussion! A couple of people had mixed feelings about it, but I thought it was amazing. We also had a surprise visit from Ryan Ozwa. Thanks for coming by Ryan!

I’d love to hear what all of you think about this episode, so leave a comment!

ABC has launched a contest to give a lucky Lost fan a free trip for two to the next Comic Con. Participants will play through Lostscape, an new online “game” (for lack of a better word) from ABC. I haven’t checked it out but it sounds like they’ll have you walking around a virtual version of the island looking for hidden things.

You’ll have until June 30 to enter the contest. Rules are found here, and you can enter Lostscape here.

Oh, and by the way, DarkUFO has already posted the location to all the hidden parts if you’d like to get through it quickly.

On this episode of the Cranky Fanatic Lost Podcast we do a group commentary of the season three episode titled “Flashes Before Your Eyes”. It’s interesting to watch this one again after seeing “The Constant”. Leave your thoughts about it in the comments for this post, and be sure to join us live next week when Lost is back on the air.

I found this article a week or so ago and I felt some of it definitely had the Cranky Fanatic spirit in it. Here’s an excerpt: 

Shouldn’t Danielle have seen the ambush coming? Rousseau didn’t land on the island yesterday; she’s fully aware of the Others’ potential for evildoing. I find it hard to believe that a woman who (supposedly) survived on the island for sixteen years would walk into an ambush without being suspicious. Even Karl questioned Ben’s motives for sending them into the jungle, for crying out loud! I understand that Danielle thought leaving the Barracks was the best way to protect Alex, but why was she so quick to trust Ben, the man who abducted her daughter? Rousseau may be crazy, but she’s not stupid. Remember how paranoid she was when Sayid first encountered her? She had traps set up all around her camp and didn’t trust anyone. How did this gun-wielding survivor turn into a sitting duck three seasons later?

You can read the rest here.

The April 29th date I mentioned in the last news post for the Lost Season 3 Soundtrack has been bumped back to May 6th. This sort of pisses me off but at least it’s not a huge delay. It seems like this OST has taken forever to finally get released. You can read more about it, and see the track listing, on the record label’s site here. 

A few things revolving around Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse that I’d like to inform/remind people about. First of all, for those that don’t know, the show returns April 24th.

• Today Cuse and Lindelof are giving a keynote presentation at the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) conference in Las Vegas. Hopefully some audio of this surfaces soon. If you were able to attend the conference and get audio feel free to send it in for Big-O to play on a podcast.
• Friday, April 18th, the video podcast where the producers take video questions from fans is set to be released. I’ve heard from DarkUFO that this has already been recorded a week or two ago. Hopefully there are some interesting tidbits about the rest of Season 4 and the future of Lost in the podcast.
• There is a new schedule for the rest of Season 4, which will now include an extra hour. There will be 4 consecutive 1 hour shows starting April 24th. Then Lost will break for two weeks and return on May 29th with a 2-hour conclusion. This will make Season 4 14-hours long in total.
• April 29th the Season 3 soundtrack will be released. The soundtrack will be 2 discs. The first disc will be a selection of tracks from all of the episodes except the finale (Through The Looking Glass) with the second disc being the entire soundtrack for Through The Looking Glass.

That’s about it for now. I’ll certainly be looking forward to all of this stuff, especially the Season 3 soundtrack as I’m a big fan of Michael Giacchino.

While I wish I could introduce myself by tying you up in a shack, sticking a grenade in your mouth and lecturing to you about how I protect the island, I am unfortunately nowhere nearly as cool as John Locke. I also have no access to rope or grenades (probably for the best.)

I’m congested, and I’ve been a listener of Big-O’s show for over a year now. I’ve been blogging over on the DarkUFO Forum and Media Mentions sections, I also helped out with the Via Domus and Find 815 sections when those were going. What recently caught the attention of Big-O however, which ultimately led me on a path to write this sentence, was my own blog, Audibly Lost. There I blog less about Lost and more about the fan community that surrounds it. 

I hope to bring some interesting stuff to the Cranky Fanatic blog in the coming weeks, and I look forward to consuming your time, especially if you’re at work. 

On this episode of the Cranky Fanatic LOST Podcast we do a group commentary for Lost season three, episode 14 titled “Expose“. We are also joined by special guest, Paul Cageggi, who is also known as Bare Naked Hurley. He called in all the way from Australia and we were glad to have him.

Tune in next Wednesday at 9:30pm Eastern time when we’ll be doing a group commentary for Lost season 3, episode 8, “Flashes Before Your Eyes“!

I have to clarify upfront that I didn’t make this, but it had me ROFL’ing so I had to post it. It contains “what”s from the first three seasons of LOST. Very Funny.

On this episode of the Cranky Fanatic Lost Podcast we cover Lost season 4 episode 7 titled “Meet Kevin Johnson”. I liked this episode a lot, and it brought out a lot of discussion in our live show. Some people had some Talkshoe problems so it took a bit for the room to fill up, but we ended up with a good crowd. Be sure to stick around for the end where I announce my new podcast that I’ll be co-hosting with my wife, and we also discuss my plans for Lost podcasting during the hiatus. We’ll be back on the air next Wednesday at 9:00 pm eastern!

On this episode of the Cranky Fanatic Lost Podcast we cover Lost season 4 episode 7 titled “Ji Yeon”. There was a lot of mixed emotions about this one. In addition to our regular crew, we also had a special appearance from David A. Dean of the Lost Community Podcast. Sorry for the late posting. We had a lot of audio issues that forced me to do a lot of editing.
