Is this the last supper for The Last Supper?
There have been some great interpretations of The Last Supper - you know, that iconic Leonardo da Vinci painting of Jesus having his last feed with his 12 henchmen - over the years.
My personal favourite has to be The Sopranos version used to promote season three of the awesome gangster drama. It was a fitting tribute containing themes that ran right through to that controversial last episode. You could spend hours analysing it, if you had the time.
But it was also used to awesome effect to promote that final season of sci-fi cyborg show Battlestar Galactica. You get a sense of the characters, who's in charge, why the angry dude has a knife and which one needs to put more clothes on for dinner.
Is it geeky to admit that I use that last one as my computer wallpaper? Whoops ... too late now.
But now Lost has gone and ruined it with their promotional campaign for the final season of the mysterious island adventure. You douche bags.
Check out that photo above - if you want to see a bigger one, click here and spare me the, "That's what she said" jokes - and then try and tell me it doesn't suck.
Ben looks like a goose straining his neck through a fence, Claire seems to be suffering the wrath of a nasty Sayid fart and Sawyer appears to have just smoked a joint. Everyone else just looks bored and unsure of why they're there.
If that's any indication of where the last Lost season - screening on TV2 very soon - is heading, I think I might pass.

As Hurley would say, "Duuuuude ..."
First of all, the new season is frickin awesome - you have to watch it! If you care at all about Lost, the first 2 episodes are going to blow your mind!!! I'm way more excited about this than I should be!!!!!!!!!!
Second of all, The Lost Supper does suck. I'm just trying to pretend it doesn't exist. THAT SAID apparently there are some clues in the picture - for example, there are skulls in front of Sayid and Hurley (does that mean these guys die?!), Ilena and Lapidus are at opposite ends of the table (does that mean they lead rival factions?!), Jack is on the same side as Ben (does that mean Jack joins Ben's side?!) and so on. Whatever. These types of pics are getting over-used now.
Lastly, I use the Battlestar Galactica one as my PC wallpaper as well - great minds think alike, I say!
Rumour has it the LOST last supper pictures (there's 2 different ones) give a stack of clues for the upcoming season. Supposedly the poses and facial expressions were very carefully done.
It's not that bad. Its more tasteful and better than the ones you have recently been putting up here.
Carrying on what from what Scott said, people move spots in the two different pics too.
I was kinda disappointed though to see the pics, as awesome as they are, it did seem like a bit of a Battlestar Galactica rip off.
i love it. just brillant. very fitting
The BSG one was definitely better. In fact it took me awhile to realise but in that BSG one, if you look closely, Baltar is the only one that can see head 6. Quite clever.
So the show with no story arc and endless mysterious loose ends finally comes to a close. Just as McDonalds is the promise of food so as Lost is the promise of drama. Skip this endless headache and just watch BSG.... I know I did.
