Powell's Books post: D.O.C.
The discussion on the "D.O.C." Lost blog post at Powell's Books ramped up in no time. This "D.O.C." was more of an extension of "Catch-22," and carries over many of the book's themes, as well as some by the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin's "God and the State."
There's plenty going on with the narrative's own mirror-twinning; this episode thickened some of the thematic webbing.
And if you go there, check out the easter egg grab on Charlie's "Highway 61" t-shirt; the first verse of Dylan's song is about the Abraham/Isaac sacrifice Des and Campbell discussed.
