Orientation

After 5 incredible seasons, Lost has established a proven track record as a thought-provoking, gut-wrenching, mind-fucking, face-melting piece of television. Since I spend at least 50% of my time thinking about the show, I figured it was about time I started putting some of these thoughts down on paper, not only so other people can read, react and discuss, but also so I can have a record of my ever-changing theories regarding Mystery Freakin' Island and the characters I've come to love so much. I mean, wouldn't it be great if I could go back and read a 2000-word essay from 2007 about why I thought Christian Shephard, Charles Widmore, Mr. Paik and the Dharma Initiative were all part of a massive conspiracy controlling everything on the island? I'm sure that would have been a brilliant piece of writing.

So, over the course of the next year (and maybe longer), I'll be dissecting episodes, analyzing characters, decoding clues, and making predictions, with it all culminating in a grand theory of everything Lost after the finale next spring. At least that's the plan. It might take a while, but hey, isn't that the point? Enjoy.
