OFF THE WALL WEB: Finding ‘Lost’

Here’s a YouTube flashback for you -- the original plane crash from ABC’s “Lost,” re-edited into chronological order from various points of view: Jack and Kate on the plane, Desmond in the hatch, The Others in their compound.

The five-minute compilation doesn’t cover everything. (YouTube commenters seem most unhappy that Charlie’s plane-lavatory fix was left out.) And it was put together last October, before all the revelations of the third season unfolded.

A later editor/poster compiled this eight-minute alternative, with more on-plane details (including Charlie) and fewer elsewhere. Its pace doesn’t feel as tight or compelling.

Some other crash montages can be seen here and here.

There’s also this flash-fast "Lost" music video revealing all the characters’ “dirty little secrets” (fun but also dated, posted last fall).

These fan montages make interesting re-introductions to the universe that’s kept so many viewers guessing for so long. And we do need something to tide us over till ABC's fourth season starts in 2008.

I love LOST. I love the writing and how the story and people are intertwined. I do wish they stop killing off the main characters. Charlie did not need to go. It would be nice if there's some 'power' to bring him back to life. Let's face it, the island people keep popping up back to life, why not our fearless group from the plane crash? I do hope they keep up the pace and not do any flashback shows. That's a waste of my time. I think modern technology (and the ABC.com site) should be sufficient to make these shows a thing of the past.
I do like the brain teases!
