Today we got montage of every death scene the show has had, as well as a great analysis of LOST’s connection to the Star Trek franchise, based on actors being in both. Hit the jump to get all the Island goodies. Slashfilm has the video called “LOST:People Who Died” that features all the deaths we’ve seen throughout the show’s run.

Tureena rhymes with Sun. Gotana-Retz = Jin. Case closed. The sci-fi website has a few other good articles about LOST, including “Lost: The 14 Casting Tapes That Started It All” and “50 Questions Lost Really Does Need To Answer”, so check those out.
