All six seasons of "Lost" are arriving on Netflix in the U.S. on July 1 — that's 121 episodes, from the pilot to the divisive finale. Total Film's Emily Garbutt says that some fans are lobbying for a re-evaulation of the final twist. She quotes one: "My firm stance remains that 'Lost' is good and the finale is great and haters will be welcomed with open arms on the right side of history after they reevaluate." Time for the big question: 14 years after it aired, what are your thoughts on the finale of "Lost?"
"Halt and Catch Fire" premiered 10 years ago and went on for four seasons and 40 episodes. @polygon's Devan Suber describes how the beloved AMC show understood the draw of video games better than any show that's come before it.

Stephen Colbert has sat in the "Late Show" spinny chair for a decade now. He spoke with Entertainment Weekly about his office decor — his kids' old art projects hang beside a copy of Donald Trump's impeachment resolution — how he fell in love with the monologue, and the fine art of blending stupid and smart.
Authors and fans alike are criticizing reports from TV station NTV and publisher Shogakukan on the death of manga author Ashihara Hinako. Here's what each report claims to have found - and the blistering social media reaction that followed.
Have you noticed Jake Gyllenhaal's increasingly eclectic resumé, ping-ponging between gigs like action movie "Road House" and "Othello" on Broadway with Denzel Washington (his first Shakespeare performance)? It's all part of his quest for projects that freak him out. "The feeling I want to have is, can I do it?" he told the Hollywood Reporter in a wide-ranging interview that covered how he got into acting, losing his sense of imagination, and why he thinks the fact that he's legally blind is advantageous.
