Very cool fan-made video about the alternate timeline theory

Have you seen this video “Second Chances” by Sl-LOST, part of their In preparation for LOST Season 6 series?

I love it. It gave me chills.

It starts off with footage from LOST, with a few scenes mixed in of the dancers from the wonderful British Season 1 promo directed by David LaChapelle.

Then, about half-way through this video, something very interesting happens. That’s the part that gave me chills. I won’t give it away. See for yourself:

The Spanish station Cuatro, which ran the hauntingly beautiful chess-themed LOST Season 6 promo, announced a contest earlier today based on that promo.

Here’s my translation of what Cuatro posted on its site, done with my semi-remembered high school/college Spanish, with a lot of help from Google Translate. It may not be 100% accurate, but I think it’s close enough:

Carlton Cuse, the creator and writer of LOST, just sent a Twitter message saying that the promo Cuatro made for the final season of the series is the best LOST promo he has seen.

We propose a game based on the promo. The original text was not written by Cuatro. Can you tell us who the author is and what work it is from? Answer the question here, and get a photo signed by the stars of the series. The first person with the correct answer will get the prize.

To participate in the contest, you must be registered on the Cuatro site with your full name, address, phone, and email.

At the time I saw this post on the Cuatro site, there were already 11 pages of answers! It’s too late to win, but if you are playing along at home, the answer is below:

Life is a Chessboard — a Season 6 promo from Spain

Posted on November 29, 2009 | 1 comment

Proving once again that other country’s LOST promos are much cooler than our own, this promo from Spain presents the LOST characters as pieces on a chessboard, while a narrator recites this poem:

The wise man said
Life is a chessboard
of nights and days
where men are pawns of God
moved here and there
God allows them to kill
and kills
and piece by piece
he puts them back in the box
because there’s a destiny for every piece
for every player
and for God

Sl-LOST posted the video, translated the narration, and added the subtitles. Via TVOvermind.

Update 11/30/09: Post added with info about the author and source of the chessboard poem.

Update 2/20/10: The original promo has been pulled from YouTube, but there are two versions in English that are available, at least for now.

I’ve also posted a video showing how the promo was made.

Caption contest winner

What is Hurley saying?

What is Hurley saying?

Thanks so much to everyone who entered the caption contest.

The entries had references to food, the numbers, code 14-J, Mommies and Daddies, the Oceanic 6, Jacob, Ben, famous telephone catch phrases — and an old Allan Sherman song.

The Winner

The Season 5 Dharma Initiative Orientation Kit goes to Jon for this caption:.

I’d like to order a super-sized pallet of Dharma-Pockets for the next Resupply Drop. Dude, How can you be OUT?

That sounds like something Hurley might really say. And it brought back fond memories of one of the greatest moments of Season 5, when Hurley threw a Hot Pocket at Ben:

First runner-up is Geraldine for another food-related line:

Uh, dudes? They said the pizza will take, like, 4200 hours to get here. Maybe we should try Mr. Cluck’s instead? I have an in.

Hurley does look like he is trying to order a pizza in the picture. Too bad even Domino’s couldn’t guarantee on-time delivery when the destination is Crazy Island.

Mags Magoon is second runner-up for his caption which uses all the numbers:

Yeah, we saw your message on a bathroom wall…for a good time, dial (481) 516-2342…

I’d hate to see what would happen if that call was ever answered.

You can see all the entries on the contest post. Thanks again to everyone who entered!

Fantastic promo video for Season 1 from the UK

I’ve never seen any LOST promo in the States as creative as this one, which has the Flight 815 survivors dancing in slow motion on the beach, with odd expressions, decked out in dressy, but tattered, outfits. It’s surreal, like a dream sequence. At the same time it manages to suggest many of the relationships that were then yet to unfold in Season 1:

And here’s a version with some spooky narration:
