Hey everybody, my name’s Adam Rucker, and I’m very excited to be a new contributor here! A little about me: I’m currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin, and I am a frequent video blogger on YouTube. I’ve also been a LOST mega-fan since S1. My excitement for the S6 premiere led me to create a live reaction/recap video while watching last week’s two hour premiere so I could share my excitement/confusion with all the people of YouTube, and this is that video!

Check back here every week for my latest reactions to new episodes!

And you can always find these and the rest of my videos on my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/ajruck and talk to me at Twitter.com/AdamRucker.

Can’t wait to see where this goes!

The return of Lost for its final season was a ratings success for Sky1 last night, according to early figures. The first two episodes of season six, which revealed what happened after Juliet attempted to detonate the bomb, pulled in audiences of 830k (3.4%) and 728k (3.7%) from 9pm.

[Campetin here: please give a warm welcome to our new recapper Erin!]

NOTE: we apologize for the delay of this recap. It was meant to be published a few hours after the premiere aired but several technical issues with Wordpress and image hosting services caused this delay.

The beginning of the end has commenced. The final season of LOST is finally here and the feeling is bittersweet. The end means that we get answers. Definitely sweet. But the cost of those answers is the loss of the very real characters we tune in to every week. That’s totally bitter. But until the finale airs, I’m very much excited about joining LOST in this final chapter of our story.

First, a little about me. My name is Erin. I’m a wife, a mother and a full-time college student, majoring in Communication Studies. (My independent study is on the rhetorical potential of LOST.) I’m definitely addicted to the island and all its mysteries and can’t wait to see what this season has in store for us.

In the two-hour season premiere, we observe what appears to be two separate timelines, or dimensions. In one dimension, the bomb failed to prevent anything and, consequentially, our Losties are still on the island. And a little shell-shocked, might I add. In the other timeline/dimension, the detonating the bomb successfully prevented the crash of Flight 815 and our Losties never made it to the island.

The X Factor - “LA X” Analysis
by Chris Kirkman

Whew. I’ll freely admit that I was a bit worried going into this season; there was such a wide-open playing field that I wasn’t sure which path Lost might travel down. At the end of last season, we talked a bit about the different scenarios that might play out, and in last week’s podcast of HoboTrashcan , I mention the possibility of a retcon or reboot of the story. I saw the series going down one of two fairly well-defined paths: the bomb doesn’t quite work and the survivors are stuck on the island but put back into their own time, or the bomb does work and everyone gets a do-over. Luckily for us the Lost creative team decided to give us a hybrid of both and, despite some extremely lazy writing on a couple of occasions, I think we’re in for quite a good ride.

So, as Sayid so eloquently put it: “What happened?” It all starts with a cat, really.

THE X FACTOR
I’ll assume that just about everyone out there has heard of Schrödinger’s Cat by now, even if they don’t understand all the details involved. Allow me to explain, as best and simply as I can. In this classic thought experiment, a cat is placed in a box (a steel chamber, actually), along with a Geiger counter, a little bit of a radioactive substance and a counter tube hooked up to a small hammer, poised above a flask of poison (or acid, in Schrödinger’s original hypothesis). The device is protected against interference from the cat. If the radioactive substance experiences atomic decay, the Geiger counter would detect it, releasing the hammer, which smashes the poison container, thereby killing the cat. The radioactive substance is so small, though, that there may be decay within an hour, or there may be no decay whatsoever. Hence, as long as the cat is in the box and there is no outside indication of the fate of the cat, we don’t know whether the cat is dead or alive. It theoretically exists in two quantum states - both dead AND alive. And there you have the Schrödinger’s Cat paradox.

In the example above, it doesn’t matter if you actually care whether the subject is dead or alive, it’s just important to contemplate the possibilities of both.
