If the characters of Lost were on Facebook…

lost-logo

The last season of Lost premiered Tuesday, peppered with the usual head-scratching questions and introduction of mysterious new characters. Hopefully, the series will stick to the cerebral and there will be few action-packed “Final Destination”-esque scenes, like the one that ended last season with a chain winding its way around Juliet’s body and dragging her into a well.

One of the most frustrating aspects of the show has been how private the characters are. They do not share information easily, making the Island’s riddles harder to solve.

If Facebook and Twitter existed on the Island, the transparency would have helped make the place less confusing and this thing could have been wrapped up in, like, two seasons.

If the characters were on Facebook, here would be likely updates based on recent happenings:

– Hurley and Jacob are now friends.

– Sawyer’s relationship status has changed to Single.

– Jack, Hugo, and Kate were tagged in a photo: “Dharmaville in ‘77.”

– Locke became a fan of “Turning into dark smoke.”

– Jack, Jin, Miles, Kate, Sawyer, and Sayid joined the group “We Live In Temples and Dress Like It’s Woodstock.”

– Ben wrote on Jacob’s wall: “Sorry, dude.”

    Probably funnier if I’d ever seen Lost, or if I spent time on Facebook, but still pretty funny.

    Funny, thanks for the chuckle (I hate when people LOL everything, I mean really… you were laughing out loud over that?)….. of course if you check facebook, you find that all the characters are on there… multiple times in fact. And some are quite different than you would expect. It seems Sawyer speaks fluent Spanish (sometimes) and Locks is a big fan of “pants on the ground”… who knew.

    About Me

    I am a writer, reporter, editor and blogger. I'm an editor at Above The Law, where I blog about lawyers, judges, law firms and the legal industry. Here at True/Slant, I write about our changing notions of privacy.

    If you have story ideas or tips, e-mail me at kashhill@trueslant.com. I've hung out in quite a few newsrooms over the last few years. Currently, I can be found in Breaking Media's Nolita office. In the past, I've been found in midtown Manhattan at The Week Magazine, in Hong Kong at the International Herald Tribune, and in D.C. at the National Press Foundation and the Washington Examiner.

    I have few illusions about privacy -- feel free to follow me on Twitter: kashhill. Or friend me on Facebook... though I might put you on limited profile.

    What I'm Up To

    • Staying Above The Law

      judge

      Over at Above The Law, I write about lawyers, law firms, judges and the legal industry.

      We especially like “colorful news.” (Yes, that’s a euphemism for gossip.)

      Check out the site here and my stuff here.

    • Writing with real ink

      While most of my writing occurs online at Above The Law and True/Slant, I do occasionally venture into the world of print.  These are some of the magazines and newspapers that I’ve written for:

      The Washington Post

      Washingtonian Magazine

      Time Out New York

      The Orange County Register

      The Washington Examiner

       
    • Recent projects

      washingtonian issue for tsThe latest (and longest) “real ink” project: the cover story for Washingtonian Magazine’s December issue.

      While I’m usually a writer and reporter, I’m sometimes asked to play pundit. In November, the New York Times asked me to write a mini op-ed for its Room for Debate blog. In December, BBC radio asked me to talk about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook privacy settings for its Newshour (19:00 minute mark), based on this True/Slant post.
