“I’m one of these people that is completely entranced by the theorizing and hypothesizing and the physics and the conspiracy of LOST. As we approach the end, the very end, my question becomes, “What will be answered, and what will the community at large be left with to use as the continuing of it’s universe?” Thanks to the web, almost any philosophical or scientific quandary can be Googled alongside the word “lost,” and somebody has branded it as having a relationship to the program. I most recently came across a LOSTPEDIA post that I expected to make a simple point about Flannery O’Conner’s collection, Everything That Rises Must Converge. Could it really be that Jacob’s reading of the piece is connected to a foreshadowing to the possibility of The Dharma Initiative creating the catalyst for an Omega Point? That turns out to be a metaphysical drive toward singular complexity if you are to take the word of French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s classical thought process. If you keep digging through information you find Frank Tippler’s 1986 definition that attempts use of cosmology to suggest man’s ultimate destiny is to create, pardon me if I’m paraphrasing too much here, a literal man-made afterlife. As all devoted LOSTies can attest to, the show can become an endless journey, it can give you a reason to think (sometimes too hard), and if you’re lucky it can make you reconsider any disregard for Mama Cass.”
