Evie and Dom together!

Oh! There is another detail to comment on: did you happen to know that in the real life, Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan’s are engaged? Evie is the actress that interprets Kate and Dom plays the role of Charlie. They are together since more than two years now. Did you ever imagine? Did you already know? Do you like the couple? When I first heard about it I couldn’t believe it! I love the couple… I think it’s a bit strange, as we know them as the roles on TV… but they look cute together! ;)

Useful abbreviations / "Make Your Own Kind Of Music"

Once more, I decided to invade this site in order to add something you might find useful. Well, in fact I have two items to comment about.

I was reading the posts I’ve missed while travelling down South and I thought that maybe you don’t know some terms that exist to abbreviate common phrases and words used regularly. Indeed, I’ve read some of them in here, but I want to add some if you let me. Most of them were created by fans from Lost and were really well accepted by the production of the series. What’s more, the people of the production adopted them as well as we all did! There are a lot of them and some are nonsense, but here I write the most used and common:

Skate: Sawyer and Kate romantic paring and relationship

Jate: Jack and Kate

Jacket: Jack and Juliet

Suliet: Sawyer and Juliet

Sana or Sawyana: Sawyer and Ana Lucía

Karlex: Karl and Alex

Chaire: Charlie and Claire

Hibby or Hubby: Hurley and Libby

Shoone or Bannon: Boone and Shannon

Shayid: Sayid and Shanon

Jun: Jin and Sun

Renard: Rose and Bernard

Pikki: Paulo and Nikki

Dope: Desmond and Penelope

Lostaways: designation for a dedicated fan of Lost

Losties: survivors of the middle part, the one we get to know first

Tailies or Tailenders: survivors from the tail sectionOthers: the bad ones

There is another point I would like to add. Do you pay attention to the music in the program? Cause I do. And I really like some songs. That is the case with the song “Make Your Own Kind Of Music”. When I listened to it for the first time, on Desmond’s record player, I really liked it! I chose to talk about it because I like it, I have it on my computer, and now I listen to it very often as it is part of an advertisement on TV! I don’t know exactly which, as I am not watching TV whenever it appears and I never pay attention to the advertisement… just to the song!

“Make Your Own Kind Of Music” is very important to the plot of the whole story because of its significance, and it also appears several times. It is from Mama Cass Elliot and is quite old!

Check out the lyrics:

Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you

Chorus:
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough going
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

(Chorus)

So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be going
I will understand

The song appears five times:

1. In Desmond’s record player, in the Swan, when he was exercising before Locke blows up the hatch and makes the needle knock off the record.

2. When Jack enters to the hatch after Kate and John had already gotten down, the song suddenly starts playing when he gets in.

3. In a repeat of this part from another perspective, in the following episode, Desmond is seen playing the song to Jack in order to drown Kate’s cries for help.
4. In the finale scene of season two, while the technicians at the listening station are playing chess, an instrumental version of the song is playing in the background.

5. Desmond hears the song in a bar on his déjà vu. He tells his friend Donovan that with help of the song he could remember what happened that day. He fails when narrating what would happen next, but the following night, when he listens the song, what he had predicted, happen.

The purpose of the song appearing so frequently on the show is to highlight the free will, the destiny we all have to make for ourselves, to make each one its own kind of music. It is a tool of reinforcement on the contradiction between free will vs. destiny, supporting the first one.

In the episode when Desmond has all those déjà vu (4), he is told that the universe has a way of righting itself and fulfilling its intentions, indicating that destiny supersedes, or perhaps works through, free will.

The other scenes when the song is played involve people alone in aisled places (lyrics: “the loneliest kind of lonely”) trying to keep themselves occupied. Like the technicians playing chess (4), Desmond exercising in the hatch (1).

Like this analysis of why choosing that song, why placing it there and things like that, there are a lot!! I’ve also found some symbols and key objects, recurrent patterns, ideas, whatever! That’s what I like from Lost: the analysis we can do, the psychology behind every single detail, and the perfection on everything!

Whatever you might want to comment to me, to ask, to talk a bit about this great show, don’t hesitate and keep in touch! I have also a Mexican friend and we spend hours talking about Lost, giving our opinions, analyzing details, making predictions… I can introduce him to you. He has also been in this blog, and he loved it!

An Interesting Piece of News!

Hi class!

Well, I decided to post because I want to share with you some interesting piece of news that was published in La Gaceta some days before. Perhaps you have already read this , if you did not, it is good for you to know ;)

The article announces that Adrián Suar glides to make an argentine version of the LOST serie.

The attraction that generates "Lost" in the world is total, to such an extent that the producer Adrián Suar glides to buy the format to make an Argentine version of the series, as it had already happened to "Desperate Housewives". And, although greater details are not known, he said that between the actors who could star for the series they find two of the most successful and handsome actors of the national TV: Pablo Echarri and Facundo Arana.

In my opinion, I think that it is a very good idea and it would be a great success, dont you? And I am totally in agreement with the chosen actors too =) I think that Facundo Arana has to be Sawyer because they have similar styles.

And about the female roles...which actress do you think must be Kate?

Well, I hope you liked my contribution to the page! I found this article really interesting .

See you! Good luck on Wednesday in the oral exam! bye bye!
