Please direct me to interesting online resources regarding the television series Lost.
My husband and I just started watching the series Lost online and are about to finish season one. I usually enjoy reading episode guides and trivia about shows as I watch them and I imagine there's quite a bit available for Lost. I've been checking out the Lostpedia but wonder what else is out there that's useful and interesting and (hopefully, though it's not a dealbreaker) wouldn't have huge spoilers on the front page. Typically after I see an episode or two, I read plot synopses and other episode-related info to see if I missed anything important. I've seen a few older questions about Lost but they seemed much more specific and in some cases the websites no longer functioned (I guess 6 years is a long time in internet life).

I've always found the analysis and chats at Lost Central on the Washington Post website to be pretty thorough but entertaining at the same time.
They have an analysis of the show the day after its on, and do a chat where they answer questions later in the day. Anyway, it might be worth checking out.

I'd also recommend the weekly recaps/reviews at The Onion TV Club (unfortunately, only seasons 4-6)

This season, I've been finding the Slate commentary interesting. Sadly, they've only done this for season 6, but it could be a good resource once you get to that point.
Lostpedia is fabulously helpful if you're looking for a certain bit of information, but can be a lot to dig through.

moxiedoll had some good recommendations for episode commentary in this recent comment:

The preeminent Lost scholar is Jeff "Doc" Jensen at EW.com (sorry no link, posting from my phone). For the past few seasons, at least, he has been posting multipage discourses on each episode. He actually posts twice a week - the day after each ep, with a thoughtful recap, and then the next week with more in-depth analysis. He really digs in. Sometimes goes off the deep end, but that's part of the fun of Lost.

I like the Reality TV World's section on LOST.
