In other Lost news, exec producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof will be breaking their post-season-finale radio silence on Wednesday, although probably not in the fashion you were expecting. Still, it sounds entertaining: The producers will be appearing on an episode of Top Chef Masters. Contestants will prepare a meal for Cuse and Lindelof, using only foodstuffs one might find on the Island: seafood, tropical fruit, and–ugh–boar meat. (Seriously: Check out the boar's head in this sneak peek of the episode.) I don't normally watch the show, but now, of course, it's on my radar, as I have no doubt the episode will be encoded with clues and studded with oblique literary references that require my obsessive scrutiny. My guess is that it's probably going to be pretty entertaining, too.
But as entertaining as the season finale of "Totally Lost"? Man, I would have to say it's a toss-up. Yes, kids: It's done. A monstrous, madcap opus, featuring the resolution of the big mystery everyone is talking about: Who shot Pig E.? (Key: "everyone" = 36 people) You'll get Pig E.'s orientation video, plus the character introduction of the year, that international man of mystery, Ben Svetkey. Come back here Monday for the goods and the crazy. In the meantime: Who knew Al Trautwig of "Al Trautwig's Lost Thoughts" was actually THE Al Trautwig, the famous New York-area sportscaster! I didn't! But now that I know, I'm totally obsessed. Check out his stuff here–dude is smart!

OK Doc. When I said that I would read you even if you ended up coveing reality TV I assumed that it was a hollow threat. On the other hand, probably gonna have to watch Top Chef. Darn it.
what…I’m first…Doc, come on with the finale stuff…we’ve been waiting!!!
Damn it…agreed. I have never watched Top Chef- and I had never intended to. Curses to your cement like hold on every LOST move I make. lol Is it Monday yet? I have to see this Pig E. orientation video!
Doc, you are f***ing awesome! Can’t wait to read your final column, I’m sure you have some goods in store for us. And don’t worry about the delay; the anticipation is great. Now there’s less time between your final column and the start of season 6!
Doc, you are even better at suspense than Damon and Carlton….. eagerly waiting in anticipation, still….
Top chef is a really good show and lost mixed in is a must see
Top Chef + Lost = TV Happiness Overload
In the meantime: Who knew Al Trautwig of “Al Trautwig’s Lost Thoughts” was actually THE Al Trautwig, the famous New York-area sportscaster! I didn’t! But now that I know, I’m totally obsessed. Check out his stuff here–dude is smart!

Oh, for pete’s sake – who DIDN’t know (besides you?)???
It would be cool if new Locke was nicknamed by Sawyer as “Poser.” The guy posing as Locke would get what he deserves, nickname-wise!
I read his finally recap, even commented, and it’s gone now??!! It was five pages long with in depth explanations and odds. Can’t find it anywhere. Wanted to reread it, WHERE DID IT GO???!!!
love Top Chef. LOVE Lost – thanks for the tidbit!
Wow, thanks Mr. Jensen. Because the opening text of your article with that major spoiler about the season finale was actually visible on the home page, I now have no reason to start up on season 5 like I had planned when the DVD’s came out. Guess I can look for a new show and a new website that will actually respect giving me the option to avoid spoilers.
Oh, grow up CC. Anyone who waits to watch the show only when the DVD comes out deserves to be spoiled. Perhaps if you were to watch the show WHEN IT AIRS, you wouldn’t be victimized by these so-called “spoilers.” Tool.
@CC – I have to concur with Lee on this one. You are a tool. You didn’t watch any of S5 in real time, yet you come to this site which is explicitly for discussing WHAT HAPPENED ON THE SHOW! If you haven’t seen any of S5, then EVERYTHING here will be a spoiler. So, follow your own advise and go find another show. Good day sir. I said good day sir!
What spoiler is CC talking about?
“It would be cool if new Locke was nicknamed by Sawyer as “Poser.” The guy posing as Locke would get what he deserves, nickname-wise!”
Lame
I’d like to at least partly defend CC on this. The headline of this mini Doc update did in fact reveal a major event from the season 5 finale on EW’s home page. CC couldn’t help but see it even if he (or she) does not come in to this board or read Doc’s article. Having said that though, I don’t think it’s fair to blame Doc for this. More likely some dufus intern tagged the article that way. I say off with his head! Oh, and CC, if the reason you are watching all the eps on DVD is that you have only recently discovered the pleasures and frustrations of Lost, welcome to the party pal!
YES cross pollenization of LOST and Top Chef, who would’ve guessed. More head scratching connections from the lords of confusion. Does LOST have to end? Please have a spin off or a movie, a book series something! Anyone think Fringe will have a reference to Oceananic 815? Ah plans within plans, gotta love it!
des22: CC is still a tool. Can’t wait to read Doc’s final column monday!
Thanks Doc! I’ll definetly be drooling in my cubicle Monday over your final column. Pig E’s orientation video..I can’t wait!!
Doc, if we’re considering LOST crossover on other shows, you must also include the amazing Ace of Cakes episode where they travel to Hawaii and bake LOST’s 100th episode cake.
Season 6 is the finale??
Have you seen Lost Bloopers? Hilarious!

It is a well-known fact Cervantes didn’t exactly know where he was heading with his famous character and changed his mind several times along the way. But still ended up writing the most important literary work of all times. I forgive the Lost writers if they pulled a Cervantes because they ended up with one of the best TV shows ever.
Thanks, Doc. I knew you’d come through with that article! I’ll be back on Monday for your pearls of wisdom and the swine too.
Please don’t break my heart again Doc… Your column better be here on Monday.
CC… Watch the episodes in real time and shut the F U C K up
I watched the Monte Carlo videos. Very fulfilling. Particularly as I’d dreamed I’d meet someone from the Lost cast, but puzzled as to how, as I can’t afford to go to Hawaii…maybe it will turn out to be Matthew Fox, as he’s moving to Oregon (where I live)!! Anyway, I can’t afford cable, so, anyone planning to post on youtube parts of this fabled Iron Chef? Though I cringe about the boar’s head (being vegetarian), sounds like a must- see for sheer fun (as well as for clue-hunting). Thanks, Doc!
Where are you Jensen? I need your information and it better be at least 7 pages! HURRY UP!!!
