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.

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. We’ll have our LOST recap and review tonight of the show’s last regular episode, then we’ll have a special podcast recap and review for the finale. Viral Marketing LOSTStar TrekViral video
