Welcome to Lost-vivor — all the mystery and adventure of Lost with an added dash of Survivor-style competition! Please note that the section ahead contains spoilers for the fourth season finale of Lost. Proceed at your own risk.
Wow — what a finale! I had high hopes going into the final two hours of the season, and I thought parts two and three of “There’s No Place Like Home” delivered on all fronts. Locke being in the coffin was a nice twist. When we first saw the funeral parlor scene last season, Locke was my initial guess due to Jack and Kate’s respective reactions, but I somehow managed to talk myself out of it over the course of the season. Does this mean Locke is going to experience an Island resurrection next season?
I appreciated that “There’s No Place Like Home” answered virtually all of the questions set up by the flash forward in last season’s finale. Now we know exactly how the Oceanic Six got off the Island, and we’re getting a better idea of why they need to go back. It’s interesting to see Sun align herself with Widmore, and one wonders if Ben is still planning to track down Penny and avenge Alex’s death. Could Ben’s plan to reunite the Oceanic Six be a roundabout way of locating Desmond and, by extension, Penny?
Michael and Jin’s deaths? Michael was far from my favorite Lost-vivor, but I’ve grown attached to Jin as the seasons have gone by. I would have liked to have seen both of them get a more heroic send-off, but I guess everyone can’t die saving the day like Charlie last season. Sometimes, you just get blown up.
I have a few more thoughts on the finale, but I think I’ll save them for the comments in the interest of actually getting some sleep tonight.
Oh, but before I get to this week’s scores, I wanted to remind everyone that merchandise featuring the logo for the Chalupa (an apocryphal Dharma station introduced a few weeks ago in a Lost-vivor recap) is now available via my online store. To the right, you can see the Vincent lookalike I hired for my big Lost Finale Party posing with the stylish Chalupa mug. Men’s and women’s t-shirts are also available. I’m not doing any markup whatsoever on the merch, so it’s not a moneymaking venture — just a chance for anyone as dorky as me to have their very own Dharma swag with a Mexican entrée on it. Here’s the link to the online store again if you’d like to browse around.
UPDATE: Well, it was fun while it lasted. One can only assume my Chalupa-adorned merchandise cost ABC several million dollars in lost revenue over the past 24 hours, so CafePress had no choice but to shut down my online store. My apologies to anyone else who wanted a mug or a t-shirt.
Okay, with that out of the way, let’s take a look at the scores and crown ourselves a Lost-vivor champion!
|
Jack:
Hey, look! It’s our old pal, Dr. McBeardy. Or should I say Fakey McBearderson?: -1
Slapped by Kate for saying his half-nephew’s name. Speaking of which, is there even such a thing as a half-nephew?: -1
Totally cool with leaving Locke behind on the Island. Can’t say I blame him. I’m still miffed about John blowing up the submarine last season: +2
Wasn’t even invited to tag along on Ben and John’s Orchid Adventure: -1
Apparently has magic ears, heard Desmond screaming about the bomb over the noise of the helicopter: +3
Assisted with the refueling process: +1

Survived the helicopter crash: +5
Saved Desmond’s life. Whew…I was sure he was a goner there for a sec: +8

Tried to look out for Charlotte and Miles, neither of whom actually wanted to leave: +1
Got a kiss from Charlotte: +2
Was he stranded at sea when the Island moved? Worse still, was he stranded at sea in a raft with six “no-name” Losties? Every last one of them is a potential Nikki or Paulo, you know: -10
Net gain/loss: -7

Hey, just because Hurley isn’t around, that doesn’t mean you’re the Peanut Police all the sudden: -1
Net gain/loss: -1
Current score: 99 |

An hour later and Locke still isn’t inside the Orchid? I guess Mr. Walkabout has never heard of anthuriums: -2
Unsuccessful in convincing Jack to stay on the Island: -1
Tried to save Keamy’s life to prevent the C4 from detonating: +4
All hail, John Locke — King of the Others: +15
Er…John was in the coffin? He’s Jeremy Bentham? Crap, it’s another one of those future deaths that basically tears the space/time/Lost-vivor continuum a new asshole. Let’s just call it minus twenty-five points. Does that sound fair?: -25

With season four at a close, here are your final Lost-vivor standings. Drum roll, please…
- Sawyer (166) (+31)
- Sayid (164) (+23)
- Ben (160) (+17)
- Desmond (154) (+40)
- Daniel (144) (-7)
- Sun (136) (+13)
- Hurley (134) (+15)
- Jack (133) (+9)
- Kate (132) (+25)
- Frank (131) (+4)
- Juliet (130) (+6)
- Locke (125) (-9)
- Bernard (110)
- Vincent (109)
- Charlotte (105) (+3)
- Miles (99) (+3)
- Rose (99) (-1)
- Claire (89)
That’s right — everyone’s favorite conman turned Mr. Nice Guy came from behind to edge out Sayid and become this season’s Lost-vivor Champion! What better way to represent the kinder, gentler Sawyer than with a shot of him cradling Aaron in his arms? Well, I suppose a photo of Sawyer hugging his BFF Hurley would have been ideal, but I couldn’t find one on short notice.
Sawyer’s ongoing “redemption” storyline this season steadily earned him points week after week, and his sacrifice in the finale was enough to push him over the top and surpass strong contenders like Ben, Sayid, Desmond, and Daniel. As we noted going into this week’s episode, it was anyone’s game, and Sawyer’s surprise victory certainly proved that point.
With Sawyer officially crowned the Season Four Champion, that brings us to the Fan Favorite Award — your chance to make your voice heard and vote for your favorite Lost-vivor. The race was tight early on, but a clear winner eventually emerged:
Yep, the lovably evil Benjamin Linus received a whopping 25% of the 210 votes cast in the Lost-vivor Fan Favorite Poll. Daniel followed close behind with 19%, and Sayid (last year’s Lost-vivor champ) came in third at 11%. Sadly, Michael and Jin were the only Lost-vivors not to receive a single vote. Oh, well…there’s always next year, right? Oops! Never mind.
That, my friends, brings Lost-vivor to a close. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read and comment throughout the season. It’s been a total blast writing the recaps and hearing your feedback. I can’t wait to give it another whirl when Lost returns next season.
Sigh. You know I won’t truly be happy with any results that don’t make Jack the winner but I will respectfully decline from telling you how wrong you are, yet again.
jk.
Hey, in regards to the merchandise. I like the current selections but what I think would be cool would be the Lost-vivor logo on a tee. Now that I would pay money for.
Thanks for the ever entertaining lost-vivor recaps. You rock. Can’t wait till next year!
Hey Frank managed to patch a leak in a helicopter using only duct tape! That’s got to be worth a few points right?
Also, I am worried about what happened to Daniel when the island “worsed.”
Thanks again for doing this Jess. One of our favorite parts of the show.
Nice job all year. And congrats to Sawyer on his late, come from behind victory.
Docking Ben points for not being able to come back is shady. He chose that fate… It was a sacrifice… he should gain points like Sawyer did when he jumped out of the helicopter.
@pea: If nothing else, Dr. McBeardy had a respectable season this go-around. In a recent installment of the Lost podcast, the producers pointed out that despite his occasional failings, virtually everything that’s happened on the Island — both good and bad — has been a direct result of Jack’s actions. As they said, it’s not always fun being the leader.
Let me see what I can do about whipping up a shirt featuring the Lost-vivor logo. Hmm…
YAY SAWYER!!
Thanks Jess! I appreciate your wit and astute observations! I await next season with great eagerness!!
(We may need to consider some sort of collective noun for the dead folks who still commnuicate; ie, Charlie, Christian, Claire, Mr. Ecko …maybe the Ghosties? I wonder how Miles’ ability to see dead peeps is gonna play out.)
@gaelicgopher: Thanks for pointing out the typo on Daniel’s scores. It was getting pretty late last night when I was finishing up.
As for the duct tape, I accidentally awarded Sayid points for that (I guess it seemed like something he’d do). It’s been fixed now. Thanks again!
@Andre: My thinking on the difference between the two sacrifices was that Sawyer made a conscious choice that illustrated just how far his character has come since the beginning of the series, whereas Ben was simply doing what he felt like he had to do. That being said, I was a little stingy on Ben’s scoring in hindsight, so I added an additional 10 points for moving the Island (for a total of 20). It brought the scoring for the “frozen donkey wheel” more in line with other major events in the finale and moved Ben into third place.
@daye: I like the “Ghosties.” Can we throw Kate’s ghost horse in there?
I was kinda confused that the put the frozen donkey wheel part 15 minutes before the ending. I figured, you know, moving the island would be closer to the end, but, hey, I’m not Jack Bender, so I don’t decide. Other than that, my god that episode was amazing, Ben being the most bad-ass person ever pretty much made my week, his little nod when Locke reminded him about the metal in the vault, funny stuff, ben, funny stuff. And once again, amazing recap Jess, thanks, and I’m already excited for next season!
@Danny: Glad you enjoyed the recap! For what it’s worth, I’m already excited about next season, too. In my sleep-deprived state this morning, I even started putting together a new logo…
Yeah, I have too much free time on my hands.
The best lost-vivor yet? Could be.
Although Sawyer didn’t stand out in a big way this season, not even having one centric episode, that copter scene, now that’s what I call redemption. I thought for a minute or two, that he wasn’t going to make to shore (that was a helluva swim! swimming in the ocean is no piece of cake).
Something to consider, is that with so many Losties dead now, the only A-Team Lostie on the island is Sawyer. Locke dies somewhere along the line, Claire apparently drank the Kool-aid and went over to the dark side, an the others left behind are Bernard, Rose, Vincent and a bunch (but not even too many, I presume) of no-names. Then there is Juliet, Charlotte and Miles who aren’t even Losties.
Next season I hope they don’t even show the island until the Oceanic 6 go back. Sorta like the CastAway movie, with the “3 years later”. Then we can see how the Losties have developed a life in the island. That could speed up things quite a bit, which was the problem with the show in the last couple of years. Only 3 months have gone by on the island, half of which took place on the first season (the universally accepted as the best one) and the other half spread over the 3 next, that suffered through awful pacing at certain points.
Think Sawyer leading and getting it on with Juliet. I think we might have seem a glimpse of that.
Sorry for the long comment. Great Season, great Lost-Vivor! Thanks!
@Pepito: Thanks for the great comment. I was wondering myself if they might do a “three years later” kind of scenario when we next see the Island. Also, I’d agree that it felt a little like the writers were planting the seed for a possible Sawyer/Juliet relationship down the road. It would certainly be an interesting development to have Kate finally return to the Island with the Oceanic Six and find Sawyer sharing a beach hut with Juliet…
I’m actually wondering about the narrative structure next season. Will the “present day” consist of the Oceanic Six trying to return to the Island, interspersed with flashbacks of what’s been happening back on the Island in the intervening months and years?
i’ll bet that jin isn’t dead.
What, no points either way for Hurley being caught taking a leak?
Juliet deserved at least a few points for staying on the island until she got everyone off.
Can Richard be added to the list next year?
Jin not dead? Interesting. The Oceanic 6 (O-6 for short) go back to the Island, and find Jin, who now speaks perfect English, taught by everyone, but especially Charlotte, who speaks Korean.
If he learned to communicate suspiciously well in 3 months, in 3 years he could, heck, be correcting other peoples grammar:
Impending Danger Looms The Island Again…
Sawyer: “Jin, with Ben and Locke gone you think we could move the Island again between you and I?”
Jin: “Maybe… But one thing is certain…
Sawyer: “What’s that?”
Jin: “It’s “between you and me”, James.”
@Joe: I wasn’t sure if Hurley was definitely taking a leak when they stumbled across him, so I left it out. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who got that impression, though.
@RZ: Good point on Juliet. I think I’ll shoot her a few more points.
@Pepito: I think Jin has been pretending not to speak English all along just to frustrate his fellow Losties.
Nice job as always! I really enjoy your perspective - - this blog is highly entertaining!
D’oh! CafePress didn’t take kindly to the Photoshopped DHARMA logo on the merchandise, so it had to be removed. Oh, well.
Another great job. Although I think Sayid got shafted - if only Batmanuel hadn’t shot Keamy I still say Sayid was winning that fight. And I would have awarded points to Sun for seeking out Widmore, because I’m certain she’ll outsmart him. And I’m also not convinced that Jin is dead.
I totally need a t-shirt that says, “If you mean time-travelling bunnies, then yes.” on the front and has a rabbit with a 15 on it on the back.
Great recap, thank you, Jess, for so much entertaining. I would have liked it if Sayid and Sawyer shared first place, can’t decide which one do I like better…
Just can’t wait for the next season. I was convinced that Ben moved the island to some point in the future and that Oceanic 6 will just catch up with Locke&others but then Jack said that he spoke with Locke about bad things that happend when they left, so I am guesing that time has gone on the island… we shall see.
sry for bad English
cheers
Outlawed merchandise?! Now I want something. Anything!
No, but really, why does CafePress have a say in it? Their stuff sure as hell doesn’t look licensed.
Yea, I was pestering my dad to get me a chalupa station t-shirt and he informed me it was now impossible. Makes me sad inside
Thanks Jess.
I don’t comment often, but I read you every week. How many weeks until next season? I’m already jonesing.
For me, I want to know what Sawyer told Kate before he jumped.
I also want to know where Charlotte’s from. I say we take off her shoes and count her toes!
That should be a check for all characters, how many toes. We saw Sawyer’s barefeet and he’s got all his toes. Next!
Can we we start laying odds for next season’s winner?
Sayid 3-1
Kate 5-1
Jack 13-2
Hurley 20-1
Ben 7-1
Aaron 100-1
Vincent 1,000,000 - 1
I am now patiently waiting…
Sure, Ben sacrificed himself and had to leave the island, but his ORIGINAL plan was for Locke to do the dirty work! Not like Locke could have figured the whole procedure out; season 2 he could barely find the right keys to press on the ol’ Apple II.
You REMOVED points from Hurley for beating Eko? It’s not like he lost or something!
Locke should get a point for cleaning nicely for his funeral.
I too think Jin survived; he wasn’t at the center of the blast, and there’s still Daniel’s gang out there to hopefully pick him out of the water.
Great season, Jess - thanks. And, doggone it, who couldn’t tear up to that smile and cocked right eyebrow of Penny’s? I hope Desmond gets a few weeks of quality “catching up time” if you know what I mean.
tears actually came to my eyes when Sawyer jumped out of the helicopter. and holy hell those first 15 minutes. i shoulda known Keamy wouldn’t go down that quickly.
Awesome finale, awesome recap. I am clinging to the (slightly) delusional hope that Jin somehow survived. I’m less bummed about Michael…although it would’ve been great if they could’ve worked it so that Hurley was able to say “Dude…you’ve got some Michael on you.”
I am also hoping that Locke also becomes not-dead, as he has been my favorite character since Season 1. Seriously, dude needs a break. His life pretty sucked—kidney stealing con artist dads, crazy moms, broken engagements, paralysis, being a creepy toy salesman. Being King of the Others should at least bring some awesomeness into his life.
@Pepito: Who could have known that a Dharma coffee mug would ultimately start gaining value on the black market?
@Stevie: From what I’ve read online, it looks like Lost is returning in January, so we have a long wait. If I had to place odds on next year’s winner, I’d go with Zombie Boone.
Thanks again to everyone for their comments!
Oh, and a couple of interesting tidbits from the post-finale press coverage:
1) Supposedly Claire (Emilie de Ravin) will not be a regular next season and is being placed under a “holding contract” to return in Season 6.
2) Harold Perrineau is not very happy about Michael’s second send-off from the series. Can’t say that I blame him.
And I haven’t seen anything in the press so far to suggest that Daniel Dae Kim is leaving the series, so can we assume that Jin survived the blast?
Once again an excellent Lostvivor! I always enjoyed catching up on here to see who is in the lead. It’s good to see Sawyer win this year. I wonder if Sayid will be able to make a comeback next year. Thanks so much for putting Lostvivor together! It makes my Fridays (or Saturdays) brighter!
Awesome job!!! Love this blog!
I’m pretty sure what Sawyer whispered to Kate before jumping had something to do with his daughter, Clementine. Remember when Kate came in late one night (while living with Jack) and goes, “I made a promise to him,” referring to Sawyer? I’ll bet the lady she had the playdate with was Clementine’s mom.
I figured all this out because I also have playdates at the park, LOL. The life of a mom…
Anyway, I think Daniel’s raft scoops up Jin and heads for that other island. Let’s hope so! Can’t wait until January…ugh. So far away.
Thanks so much for the great recap, and congrats to Sawyer!
Awesome job, as always Jess. I just got a chance to watch the finale today and I was not disappointed, thankfully. I’ll give you your point that we were discussing three (four? five?) weeks ago about Ben time-traveling to Tunisia. At this point it seems rather obvious that he must have been. But that does bring up a couple questions for me: did he already know who was going to get off the island? Did he already know what was going to happen with the island? Why would he let all this happen?
It seems very out of character, to me, for Ben to allow things this far out of his control. I was psyched to see him conversing with Jack at the end of the finale, getting back on track to being in charge of some effort.
In other news, I could see Jin not being dead (shout out to Rhubarb for being the first one to voice it above), I’m glad to see that Desmond didn’t die (I was wondering how they were going to reconcile Frank and Des being with the O6), and I’m wondering if the war will now shift to going back to the island and we’ll (unfortunately) have to root against Sun. Why’s she aligning with Widmore…? Doesn’t she know he’s evil?
Thanks for all the re-caps and the great way to pass the Lost season, I’m seriously depressed if the next season doesn’t start till January, but at least we’ve got something to look forward to, right?
yay ben and sawyer!
sayid so should have won against keamy
and i was so mad when they just left keamy on the ground
i was yelling at the t.v. shoot him in the head idiots!
i think that jack should have gotten a few points for getting away with wearing the same shirt the entire fourth season!
and i just have to say if the writers make sawyer and juliet together im gonna puke then go protest!
its too bad we cant buy shirts anymore
but you should probably make that bunny one it sounds awesome!
well thanx for makin this site
it is sweet!
i wonder if any of the actors come on here to see if they won?
someone should tell them about this!
Thanks for a season of great recaps, Jess! I’m looking forward to next years.:)
OMG this was an awesome episode. I was crying at the Penny/Desmond reunion. I hadn’t
even did a bit of crying for Ben -BEN, of all people, Ben! It was when he was turning that wheel. Of course since he’s the reason the frieghter exploded I wasn’t feel too sad for too long. Definitely deserved the fan fave award.
Ah, Sawyer. That bad boy done good.
-read ya next year!
eep
should’ve been: “I even did a bit” not “I hadn’t even…”
Gotta add that I LOVED the whole “time traveling bunnies” scene.
this is a case of where the old cliche(?) quote applies: I laughed. I cried. I loved it!
@Rose: Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who got a little teary for Desmond and Penny’s reunion.
25 points for jumping out of a helicopter? He had no guarantee that would work, not to mention he wasn’t even planning on leaving the island to start with, so how can he get that many points? I smell a fix!
@pea: all this time many people have been anti-sawyer and pro-jack just because “jack is such a good guy.” i think the helicopter proved jack’s schmuckiness (DON’T GO BACK TO THE ISLAND…ZOMG, GO BACK TO THE ISLAND!).
it also proved that sawyer fans are good judges of character…TV character at least.
(also, weird that harold pulls the race card in that interview…)
I don’t like Jack because he’s “a good guy”. Sadly, my love of Jack was predetermined since I really like Matthew Fox from the Party of Five days. But in terms of Lost, what I’ve always liked about Jack is that, good or bad decisions, he’s making them, and leading the group. Sawyer may have done something good there in the end but it doesn’t take away from what an ass he was in the beginning. Yeah, not terribly big on forgiving I’m afraid. Not when it comes to fictional characters anyway.
Well, my favorite character at the begining was Jack, though I always liked Sayid and got a good laugh out of Sawyer. But now Jack’s gone all drug-y and Sawyer has gone all “Be a Good Person”. Personally, I think Sawyer’s acting to get Kate (but I also think that Josh Holloway is acting too, so what do I know?)
Cheers to Jess for making this.
Crying at having to wait ’til January
Anyone else think Ben purposely killed Keamy because he didn’t want the people on the boat - many of whom were Widmore’s people - to make it back to tell Widmore what they’d seen? Or that he didn’t want any of the Losties leaving because he didn’t want them to tell about the island? I do.
The real winner should be Aaron. If only because he’s Satan’s Baby that doesn’t have to eat.
I think the real winners are all the people who read lost-vivor!
no but seriously, vincent, all the way
This is a glorious format. This is the first time I’ve seen your Lost ‘reviews’. I’m adding you to my blogroll as we speak, and I’m going to recommend you to all the people who come to my blog.
