I think I figured out the parallel plot lines in LOST

February 4, 2010 By 13 Comments

So I was thinking about LOST today and probably like you, I’ve been wondering why the dual plot lines. One moment, Jack and crew are still on the island. On another, he’s landed safe in LAX. But why? Here’s my conclusion so far.

In the end, they will go back in time, blow up the shaft again, and the show will end with Jack and the crew landing in LAX. As to the reason why Jack had vague recognition to the other passengers has to do something with him being the hero. At some point, he will have to lead the way and separate himself from the rest resulting in them living a normal life and Jack having recollection.

There. It may be right. It may be wrong. What do you think? (comment below)

Why I don’t like LOST

I recently twittered…

Within minutes I was getting smack on Twitter about it. However, my Facebook profile was revealing a different story…

Here’s the deal. When I watch TV and movies, I’m not likely to recall names, back story or what people mean to the overall plot without a fair amount of mental effort and help from my uber smart wife. I just see it differently. I want to know… What is the topic of conversation? What is being communicated, nonverbally, in the conversation? Where was the story before, where is going afterward and how does all of this play into the big picture?

It’s safe to say, if a show introduces a lot of characters and plot lines, I’m out before the second episode. While I may watch it, I won’t be a fan. I’m just not that into it.

And so I remain LOST about LOST…and I’m okay with that.

For those of you who LOVE it so much, why? All the effort for what payoff?
