Remember when you were a kid and, for no reason in the middle of the summer, your parents would get a totally awesome and completely unexpected gift? It wasn’t Christmas, or your birthday. Your dog didn’t die and you hadn’t brought home a stellar report card. It was just because.

It’s happened again. Only I am A LOT older and this gift is the COOLEST EVER!!!

LOST!!!!!

I have been in a funk since Lost ended. I’m not going to lie. I am trying to move on, but Lost was like that one boy you dated when you were a teenager: it was totally sweet and blissful and when it ended you told everyone you didn’t care…but occasionally, you think about it. And how great it was.

I have tried to move on. I have sunk my teeth into many comedies at the recommendation of friends (and I am sorry Cooke…LAUGH TRACK?!) and even Mad Men to make my friend Lou happy. But nothing compares. I just can’t get over this one.

So yesterday when my wonderful friend Trevor sent me this video, ‘New Man in Charge,’ I could do nothing but jumpy-clap and proclaim my undying devotion to him. How did I not know about this? Apparently, this is a bonus feature on the Lost Season Six DVD set. And It. Is. Good.

Many of you expressed hatred (to say the least) towards the finale of our beloved show. You were unhappy that questions went unanswered (though I clearly explained that, in the end, this was not the purpose of the show), you were unhappy that we didn’t even see some characters (hello Walt), and you were unhappy that the show wasn’t about an island at all. Much like Star Wars isn’t really about the Force (yes, this is me starting an argument with some of you!).

Well then, this should make you happy.

“New Man in Charge” begins with two Dharma randoms working the line as pallet loaders in Guam. They appear to be working diligently to get the next drop ready for those stuck on the island.

Enter one Benjamin Linus. My God, there is NO character on television as awesome as he, right? He calmly tells the gentlemen that Dharma is obsolete, they’re no longer needed, here’s a wad of cash, peace out.

Naturally, the guys want some questions answered. This made me laugh hysterically. Some of you are the Dharma guys. Desperate for answers, disappointed that the one thing they have loved is gone. Oh irony. You’re so funny sometimes.

Ben allows each man one questions (one manages to slip in two), but then decides that, since he did end up a good guy afterall, he’d help them along by showing them the orientation video for the Hydra Station.

And here we have Pierre Chang, asking not to reveal his name because he’ll be forced to use aliases (like Marvin Candlewax, for instance). Though choppy, some answers are given: why the polar bears are on the island, why people can’t get pregnant, why the hy-bird says ‘Hurley’, what room 23 is for (uber creepy), which leads us to understand why the hostiles took out the Dharma Initiative.

But that’s not all, after bidding the guys a “Namaste,” Ben heads off to the Santa Rosa nuthouse to pay a visit to someone. And who is it? You betcha, Keith is actually Walt. Poor Walt.

Walt, who apparently went nuts playing center for the Nuggets (that kid is HUGE), is calmly playing Connect Four and thinking of possible sharp object to shank Ben with. Walt didn’t forget that Ben kidnapped him, or had him kidnapped rather. But Ben does seem genuinely sorry and, let’s face it, What’s-his-face is going to be up in a few hours eating those Connect Four pieces, so Ben’s suggestion to break Walk out of the nuthouse isn’t so bad. And once Ben refers to Walt as “special,” something he did after he’d had him kidnapped on the island, Walt decides to take a chance and heads with Ben to the closest Dharma van.

And what do you know?! There’s Hurley, in the van, waiting. If you’ll recall, Jack left Hurley in charge of the island and Hurley took Ben as his Number Two. Though the finale alluded to the two of them working together on the island for sometime, we don’t know how long or who took over for Hurley once he was done…until now.

Walt expresses that he thought no one would come back for him. I’ll admit, I got a little teary. And for those of you who were pissed that Walt was such an integral part of the first two seasons then nada, well, it looks like you got your comeuppance; Walt is taking over the island!!!

That’s right kids. Hurley wants to talk to Walt about a ‘job’, which we know is island talk for taking over. Hallelujah! This is Walt’s purpose. He was always the one who should be in charge of the island. Yes that’s right! You heard me. Not even my Jack (I miss you boo!) was supposed to be the last one in charge. It’s Walt’s job and it’s Walt’s time.

Now we know why Walt was not at the church when the rest of the Losties crossed over into whatever lies ahead. He was workin’ fools!

Hopefully, this makes some of you happy. For me, though I was completely fulfilled by the finale, I couldn’t be happier to have one last piece of the greatest drama series ever. Bet.
