Now that we've seen and voted on all 13 Mobisodes I thought it would useful to show all the ratings in a table to see how we all voted and rated them. I've also included a new player that will allow you to view all the Mobisodes easily.
I also wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone who made getting these modisodes up a full week before ABC aired them. First and foremost to Video Susan for getting up early every morning and recording the mobisodes from her phone. It took a lot of time and effort to do those. Also thanks to Transcript Susan for providing full transcripts of the mobisodes each week for those who could not see/hear them at the time, and finally to Sergio for "obtaining" the HQ versions for us for the last few weeks.
Personally I quite enjoyed most of them and found them to be a good filler and something for us Lost fans to keep us busy leading up to the S4 Premiere and they generated a lot of discussion. My personal favourite was also the best rated one, that of that pesky Vincent... It also looks like if Mr Neil Frogurt is introduced he may become the new Nikki and Paulo ;)
DarkUFO reader Fludge has kindly put together this recap of all the mobisodes HERE. Agree/disagre with any of the comments?
So enjoy the player and let us know what you thought of the mobisodes along with your favourites. Feel free to add the player to your own site/blog using the embed code.

that's cool how they get better...
I thought they were all alright. For the most part they just felt like stuff we didn't really need to know. Although some were cool I think for the most part I would've been fine without.
I enjoyed them. King of the castle was my favourite.
Any way to download the HQ versions?
I sure hope they are added to the THIN Season 4 DVD set of 8 episodes. It'd be the least Disney-ABC could do if they expect us to fork over $20-40 for a stunted season.
Season 4 has 16 episodes! have faith!!
Even with 16 episodes, the Season 4 DVD set will be thinner than the first 3, which had 23 or 24 episodes a piece.
Also, I liked the mobisodes (most of them, at least). They weren't great, except for the last one of course, but they helped ease the pain of waiting.
Is it me or the site is all messed up?
About the mobisode "King of the Castle", it gave me a thought of Ben's wealthy. We know that cash money is worth to nothing on the island, and somebody talks about the wealthy of Ben. Remember that if you want something from somebody on the island, you don't pay money, you convince him/her to give. And consider the convincing power of Ben (3x13, submarine explosion). I think Ben is wealthy because he has this very great convincing ability, I mean he is not rich via his money, but his ability. Otherwise how could he make the Others be a unity for so long?
Any thoughts about this?
'gokhan' I really have no idea, you could be right though.
Anyway, it's great to see how the makers from Lost are preparing us for season 4, I mean with all the mobisodes, and find flight 815, it's great! I can't wait till friday (I live in Holland, so I've to wait until the episode is posted on internet)
1: The King Of The Castle
2: Room 23
3: So It Begins
My god, SO IT BEGINS was awesome, all my theories are confirmed, Vincent IS evil!
I really enjoyed these mobisodes. After the first two I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to have very interesting pieces.
The best ones IMO...
1. So it Begins
2. King of the Castle
3. Room 23
And who will complain about 13 new scenes?
Thanks a lot Dark, Team Susan and Sergio!

Glad to hear somebody is sure about something :P
WHERE IS PART 2 OF THE SYNOPSIS?
I thought they were all pretty blah, except for the ones with Juliet. But yesterday's mobisode is definitely the best.
They may not have been fantastic by everyone's standards, but they were LOST, and to me anything and everything LOST is quite simply awesome. That being said, some were certainly better than others, but I want to take this moment to give a little recognition to The Watch- sure, it wasn't on the island and wasn't overly dramatic or exciting, but the subtle interactions and undertones between Jack and the fantastic Christian always prove to be worth it. The little hint/tease about the mystery surrounding the barely-seen Margo Shepherd was also quite intriguing and sure as hell not a bad way to start out the mobisodes (especially considering where they end).
OK now without further ado, my favorites are as follows:
1. So It Begins
2. The Envelope
3. Room 23
4. King of the Castle
5. Operation Sleeper
It clearly appears that my enthusiasm for the likely deleted scene The Envelope is not shared by many, and what can I say, I like me some Juliet, but no matter what was in that envelope, the fear and intensity circulating between Juliet and Amelia in that great facade of a domestic setting just screaming at us all that alot is about to change (in more ways than one)...and finally leaving us with a signiature LOST cliffhanger...was enough to make me happy until we got what it had all been leading up to yesterday.
Many of the mobisodes may be justly argued as not THAT important to the overall storyline for anyone other than us lovely LOST fanatics, but that last one...I just can't see it. As much as I woud've liked to have seen more Juliet...Michael and Walt right after they sped off across the ocean blue...one of the raft people revealed (or something about Naomi maybe)...anything I could think of prior to the big finish...could not compare to what they delivered. And hey, it was even penned by the writer of the genius (if a bit nauseating) Cloverfield. How cool.
no halowax im with you on this i think that the envelop scene was fab and the best i thought after so it begins tho, so im with you with that! x
I don't know if anybody else posted this, but in Mobisode 12, when Juliet burns her hand, and the older woman opens the refrigerator to get ice to put on the burn,..did you all notice that in Juliet's freezer were store bought frozen foods?
I noticed the popsicle box in the door of the freezer. It was not Dharma food! It still had the 'brand' box..and you can see it. I wish I could remember what brand it is,..as I said, I do buy them, but cannot remember right now.
However,..this brand is sold nationwide in the U.S.
Comments?
In Mobisode 13 - "So It Begins",...here's what struck me as odd.
At this point in the story, Christian is presumed dead. Why was it necessary for "it" a/k/a Christian, to manifest itself as Christian, to Vincent?
Remember, Jack is unconscious. So where did "it" get it's information on Jack's life, family?
Is "it" able to take form, gathered from information from Jack, without the subject being awake?
Did Jack have to dream of his dad, while unconscious, to enable "it" to manifest itself as Christian? Or does "it" just know all, whether the subject is awake/or not, about each Lostie's past?
The next question that follows is why did "it" choose Jack? Why not another Lostie?
Christian, or "it", was real enough to summon Vincent, via a whistle (very doggish, and odd that "it" knew how to do this,...), and Vincent obviously understood what Christian said to him. "Go wake up my son,...he has work to do." (very reminiscent of Walt's comment to Locke, after Ben shot Locke, and left him for dead.).
Vincent is, in my opinion, behaving mostly as a dog. However, it was odd that he understood "who" Christian's son was,...and that he recognized Jack, as his target.
Does Vincent exchange thoughts with "it"?
Now, I know it's odd that Vincent understood the exact directions of Christian, to go wake Jack,...but how?
Some dogs are really smart, and understand 'some' of the language they live with,...but Vincent, in my opinion, is one high-level functioning dog, who is getting 'assistance' from the island, "it", somebody or something, in order to accomplish it's goals. Whose goals? The island's of course! hehe...
Vincent understood "it" exactly,..and "it's" direction to wake Jack, and where Jack was located.
Did "it" (Christian)send Vincent pictures of Jack, mentally? And coupled with the mental picture of Jack, sent to Vincent, and the language of Vincent's owners (where Vincent lived),..was that how Vincent found Jack?
Further, it's not a stretch to think that if the above is true, then perhaps, "it" could also send pictures of the exact location of where Jack was,...but why did it speak to Vincent? What was the purpose in that, if this is true???
Right now, I don't think Vincent is evil. He's a tool used by the island/or whatever "it" is, to assist in "getting goals met." Finishing "it's " or somebody elses' work, whatever that may be,...
What makes me think Vincent is a tool, and may not be 'real' in the sense of the word, is that when Walt, and Michael were permitted to leave the island, why didn't Walt take Vincent with him???
If Vincent is an unreal tool,...it serves to reason that he is not a dog. Not as we know dogs. He is a manifestation of the island, and works with whatever is controlling things to accomplish certain tasks.
