LOST Reworked!

This season of LOST has been, inmy personal opinion, the best of the seasons so far. So many important things have happened, it’s hard to keep track of where our favorite characters were at the beginning of this season. The Oceanic Six were first rescued, they began to recreate a life for themselves back in the real world, Jack and Ben teamed up to try and convince the rest of the Six to return to save their friends, the rest of the passengers were in the ’70s living their lives, and then Jack, Kate, and Hurley were thrown there while Sun and Ben are back on the island with John in the present time. Well… do you feel like a recap might be nice? I sure do. Be sure to watch “LOST- A Journey in Time” which airs Wednesday, May 13, 2009.

Interested in hearing other LOST fans’ stories? Here’s an interview with another LOST lover, Josiah! Enjoy!

1. When/How did you first become interested in LOST?

 
My Best friend back home actually started raving about it one day. I said to him the show looks dumb and typically, “people trapped on an island, oh how original!” He told me to watch the pilot and then get back to him. I watched it and from the first episode, fell in love. I have need been so happy to be proven wrong.

 
2. Were you immediately hooked or did it take you a few seasons?
 
I was hooked after about ten minutes.

3. Which season/episode is your favorite and why?
 
That’s hard, maybe last season or season one.

Thank you Josiah!

Since the beginning of any trendy show, crazy fans always tend to take aspects about the show they love out of context. The Matrix, the X Files, and many other movies and shows have certain tendencies in them that seem to mirror religions, especially Christianity. Books have been written, groups have been created, and people actually are beginning to truly believe in these supposed truths.

 
 LOST has become one of those shows. Since the first episode aired, LOST fanatics have been finding characteristics about the show that have deeper significance. It is the kind of show that has so many details that avid fans could basically find “meaning” in anything they put their mind to, but Christianity?

 
“I started watching LOST from the beginning, but I didn’t really get into it until about the third season,” said Sara Neiman, Fort Pierce. “It was then that I started reading about it on different blogs and stuff. I found different places where they were comparing LOST to the Bible and Christianity, and it kind of scared me because everything they were saying seemed like it could be true! They had so many details!”

 
The ideas about this aspect of the show have been taken so seriously that there are actually books written about it. There is a book called “The LOST Bible” which compares details about LOST to the Christian Bible starting all the way back into Genesis.

 
“When I first came to Southeastern, I started watching LOST with the group in Aventura second floor lobby. There was this one girl who brought the book ‘The LOST Bible’ to one of the shows, and it had some pretty fanatical things in it,” said Chad Ainsworth, Jr. “It even compared Jack to Jesus and Kate to Mary Magdalene. I laughed at it because I know that it is not true, but the weird thing is that many people actually might believe in it.”

 
However, the theories about the show don’t stop with just Christianity. From Muslim to Buddhism, and even branching out to Catholicism, each of these religions is supposedly represented in the show.

 
Things such as Virgin Mary statues and Mr. Ecko being a supposed priest could represent Catholicism. Also, Charlie, a character in the first few seasons of the show, says that he grew up Catholic.

 
Mr. Ecko also quotes much Scripture, and he insisted on baptizing baby Aaron after his mother Claire gave birth to him. “Aaron” is also another reference to a character in the Bible.

 
Sayid, a character that has been focused on numerous times in the show, is represented to be very Muslim. He is seen praying many times, and his past shows that he had been part of the army in his home of Iraq in support of their religion.

 
Also, a fact that people might not know is that the “Numbers,”-4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42- that the character Hurley is always finding in his path, all add up to 108. This is the sacred number in the religion Buddhism.

 
Are these just things that LOST fans are coming up with? Or are they things that should be checked out and have relevance to the storyline of LOST? Either way, for fans of this show around the globe, it sure is fun to read about things like this and speculate if they truly mean anything. Just be warned to not take these things seriously.

Wow what a great episode! I have been waiting for a show on Miles ever since I knew that he could speak to dead people! I am so excited how more and more pieces are coming together! AND Daniel is back!! Yay! I love Daniel and all his insight! He always seems to know what is going on, so maybe he will be able to get Jack and Sun back with the rest! If you missed this show, you NEED to watch it! Watch it in HD at LOST.com!
