Larry Young, the Chief Visionary, Creative Engine, and Marketing Guru for AiT/Planet Lar has got himself some enthusiasm, and isn't exactly shy about sharing it.

This week Larry talks LOST.

So, I gots me some enthusiasm.

Those of you who surf around our sister site know that I gots me some enthusiasm for LOST. The final episode of the fourth season just aired, and I thought it'd be cool to hit some talking points. Now, me... I'm not going to talk about them, because there's places for that. But I wanted to watch the whole thing and point out the stuff that Professor Steve Higgins is going to like. If you don't watch LOST, you're not going to have any idea what I'm talking about:

1. It's awesome that they begin the season 4 finale right where the season 3 finale ends.

2. Kate says its three years later.

3. "Dude! You came back! How'd you know where to find me?"

4. Keamy says: "Tell me something, Ben. What is it that makes you so important?"

5. The whispers take out the Rambo guys?

6. Badass Sayid

7. "You know my grandson. We've traveled all the way across the country just so he could see you."

8. The Sawyer and Hurley Show.

9. "It's not an island."

10. I dunno what it is but I love Faraday's eight grade science teacher tie.

11. "Who told you you could eat those peanuts?"

12. Miles: "I'm surprised you want to leave... It's just weird, after all that time you spent trying to get back here."

Charlotte: "What do you mean, 'get back here'?"
Miles: "What do I mean?"

13. Kasimir effect.

14 "If you mean the time-traveling bunnies... then, yes."

15. "Hands and feet inside the vehicle!"

16. "My name is John Locke... and I have no conflict with you."

17. "Just do it, Freckles."

18. "I think visiting hours are over, dude."

19. "Checkmate, Mister Eko."

20. "Oh, bloody hell."

21. "You are a father now. Get to your wife and get her home."

22. The whispers... right before Micheal goes.

23. "As you know, we're not the only ones who've left the island."

24. "Sometimes good command decisions get compromised by bad emotional responses."

25. Whoever moves the island can never com back.

26."Hello, John. Welcome home."

27. "I hope you're happy now, Jacob.

28. "Get your life vests, we're going in...!"

29. The white rabbit poster in Aaron's room during Kate's dream.

30: Claire: "Don't you dare bring him back!"

31. "Jack, I know I'm new to this group and everything but isn't this the place where everyone starts jumping up and down and hugging each other and everything?"

32. Penny?

33. "It's nice to meet you, Penny. But we need to talk."

34. "Don't let them find you, Desmond."

35. "Let's go home."

36. Hoffs/Drawlar

37. "Did he tell you I was off the island?"

38. ALL OF YOU HAVE TO GO BACK.

...ahhhhh, yes. This is the most satisfying, best-written show on television.
