The LOST Score - "The Brig"

I finally found this episode! Poorly named yours truly, it's been on my drive/s for 7 1/2 years. Originally broadcast in May 2007 this was an episode where we managed to look at Locke's theme in new ways (thank goodness).

The shows hope and intent was always to showcase theme evolution, and by season 4 we were hearing that happen. Pop on the headphones, put your feet up and let the strings glide all over.

The LOST Score - "Confirmed Dead"

After 4 seasons of flashbacks of Jack, Kate and Sawyer it was nice seeing the "Chopper Crew" get their day in the sun.

My adoration of Rebecca Mader began with this episode too :) I look at a series of theme progressions over Seasons 2 to 4 in regards to John Locke's Theme. My "2008 LOST Theory of Time Travel" (which I now view as laughable) also gets an airing.

The LOST Score - Ji Yeon

Though "Ji Yeon" itself wasn't my favorite episodes, it did present the chance to examine the use od dramatic accents in scores.

So this episode looks at a series of the shows more dramtic moments, and point out just where and how the music can enhance the scene.

The LOST Score - "Flashes Before Your Eyes"

A popular episode, especially with the Penny/Desmond "Shippers".

There were a few new Themes and we dipped into a bit of David Lynch's "Dune". It's always fun to listen to any Desmond centric themes or soundbites :).
