Sundown - The Post LOST Watch
This time around, we know this isn't a Sun-centric episode. What other previously-missed clues will we notice when we watch this episode again?

Emmy Nods for LOST!
Can LOST book-end the series with an Emmy win for its final season?! LOST picked up an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama (along with Breaking Bad, Dexter, Mad Men, True Blood, and The Good Wife). Of these, I have seen The Good Wife. It is a great show, but it is no LOST. What is your opinion of the others?
Matthew Fox was nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series (together with Jon Hamm [Mad Men]; Kyle Chandler [Friday Night Lights]; Bryan Cranston [Breaking Bad]; Hugh Laurie [House M.D.]; and Michael C. Hall [Dexter]). While this was Foxy's best season, where is the love for Josh Holloway? I have seen a few episodes of House over the years, and Hugh Laurie is great - though I find the character mildly two dimensional. Haven't seen any of the other shows. Thoughts?
For Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, both Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson were recognized (along with John Slattery [Mad Men]; Aaron Paul [Breaking Bad]; Martin Short [Damages]; and Andre Braugher [Men of a Certain Age]). As thrilled as I am that O'Quinn and Emerson were nominated, they both deserved to be in the lead actor category. As I understand it, the actors determine which category to which they would like to be submitted. By choosing supporting actor, I suppose they improved their chances. Had they chosen lead actor, it would likely have bumped Foxy from the running, but would have opened the door for Jorge, Daniel and Naveen, who all had stellar years. And what about Nestor and (Henry) Ian? I guess the academy needs a category just for LOST supporting actors. Again, I have only seen one show, Men of a Certain Age. Andre Braugher is great, but I think Emerson ought to have this tied up, if not for this season, than for his entire body of work on LOST.
Surprise, surprise, the women were shut out. I know Elizabeth Mitchell didn't have enough screen time to warrant a nomination, but she still deserves one for the season five finale! Evangeline and Yunjin both had great years, and even Emilie's short screen time was notable.
What are your opinions of these nominations? Who was overlooked? What do you think of the other nominees?

LA X - The Post LOST Watch
What will be SO obvious now that we know about what the "flash sideways" really were? What will still confuse us? What questions are we still asking? What makes sense now? Post your thoughts.

Tillie Rewatch
Okay Tillies, we survived "The End" and are recovering. We've discussed a "rewatch" of the entire series, and of just season 6. By all means, continue to talk about the finale, but let's take an informal poll as well.
Choose from the following and post your answer:
a) I want to rewatch from the beginning of the series
b) I want to rewatch from the beginning of season six
c) I want to rewatch from the beginning of season six and THEN watch from the beginning of the series
d) I don't mind, whatever the group decides
3) I am not interested in rewatching anything as a group.
If you answered a, b, c, or d, then please choose the answer to the next question.
a) I will be able to watch and comment on one episode a week.
b) I will be able to watch and comment on two episodes a week.
c) I don't mind how many episodes, whatever the group decides.
d) I won't be able to stop at just one or two episodes, but I will comment on the episodes as the group decides.
Thanks, Tillies!

Happy Birthday Tillies!
Today marks the second anniversary of the day we created the little island! It feels like much longer than that! How far we've come! Think of it... two years ago, Charlie died, and I stayed in denial for almost two years. LOL.
Happy Birthday, Tillies!
Happy Birthday, Tillies!

The End
All I can say is that it was very difficult to type the title of this week's episode and post.
It has been a great ride for sure. To everyone who ever had anything to do with my LOST experience, Tillies most especially, I thank you.
Finis.

What They Died For
This, the penultimate episode of the series, has one of the first titles which seems fairly straightforward. This, of course, means that it could be misleading, but I suspect not.
May the deep breathing begin...
