LOST Tidbits: Death Montage & Connections to Star Trek Dan Koelsch, May 18, 2010 With ABC’s LOST coming to an end, we’re seeing a lot more fan made videos, artwork, and analysis. 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. It’s a fitting way to allude to the end of the series. Check it out below. io9 has an interesting article that shows some of your favorite LOST actors in various Star Trek roles, then tries to compare the characters. For instance, Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) played alien Gotana-Retz on an episode of Star Trek: Voyager. Here’s how io9 compares them:How This Ties In With Lost: Gotana-Retz is unstuck from time.

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.
