If you want an enriched -- and slightly absurdly detailed -- understanding of last week's episode while you're watching the repeat, read the wiki entry the people at Lostpedia.com put together here.

I'm not going to support reading this, because I just did, and it almost explained too much.

Here's a must-read while you wait for the next episode of Lost. The Washington Post's Monica Hesse writes:

Entire communities are built around such mysteries -- virtual water cooler klatches descended from those lunch bunches that once discussed "Twin Peaks" or "The X Files" -- all united by a pursuit of one goal: Be the first to figure out what happens next.

But get too caught up in the quest, and you discover its downside: If you take a shortcut to the answer, you could end up hanging out there for a while, all alone, until everyone else shows up.

The article gets a little dense -- dipping into the subconscious needs fulfilled by spoiler sites -- but it's a good read with some good points about this whole prediction business.

If you didn't catch it, the commercial during the last break was a fake -- a clever Lost plant for DHARMA recruiting.

I am still wrapping my head around the finale, but in the meantime, read this posting on McSweeney's Internet Tendency.

It's like Lost, only shorter, and much easier to understand.

Kind of.

People Magazine posted an article about James "Sawyer" Ford (a.k.a. Josh Holloway) being held up at gun point with his wife at his home a few years ago.

In a strange, but cool, promotion, ABC has just unveiled a March-Madness-style bracket for fans to vote on their favorite episodes of the first for seasons of Lost.

You can check it out here.

The bracket is cool because it lets you watch clips and full episodes of Lost's greatest hits. Check it out.

What is your favorite episode of the show? Post your comments below.

... you have a band dedicated to recapping episodes of your show.

The joke-band-performance-act-Hawaii-enthusiasts Previously on Lost claims they are the world's only TV-recap rock band, singing songs about what happens on episodes of Lost.

The reviews are good, including some from Wired.com and the New York Times. Most of the songs are strange and bouncy, as far as I can tell. The video below even includes a cheerful line about Charlie's death.

Strange.

Watch the video below and check out the band's MySpace page.

The band is even hosting a premiere party for the new season in Brooklyn if you want to make the road trip.
