Powell's Books Lost blog: Through the Looking Glass

2007-05-26T20:43:03Z

This is it – this year's final Powell's Books Lost blog post for this season. The episode was a mindbender, pulling together threads from previous episodes and previous seasons, knotting them up, and leaving new ends of narrative trails to follow...

Powell's Books Lost blog: Greatest Hits

2007-05-18T20:23:34Z

The Powell's Books Lost blog post for "Greatest Hits" is up, and there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. It looks like we have some evidence that every time Des saved Charlie, he not only changed the future, but the past and present as we...

If you thought Jacob was Locke...

2007-05-12T15:24:06Z

Just have a look at this picture. I think the bald foreheads say they look similar, but the nose and the eyebrows say they're not. And it's not like we haven't seen look-alikes on this show; both Juliet and Michael have look-alikes in the Others...

Powell's Books Lost blog: The REAL Man Behind the Curtain

2007-05-12T03:32:42Z

Now we've finally seen Jacob, and I've posted a column about it at my Powell's blog. The real question at this point is if Locke actually did or didn't see that strange old man. The biblical overtones are getting interesting. In Genesis, Jaco...

Powell's Books Lost blog: The Brig

2007-05-05T18:21:21Z

"The Brig" was the first episode written by Darlton Cuselof we've seen in a long time, and it was well worth the wait. The post is up at the Powell's Books Lost blog, and there's a lot there about war and slavery. It all comes from Locke and Coo...

Lost Blogging at the Washington Post

2007-05-05T18:06:49Z

Liz Kelly and Jen Chaney invited me to write with them this week about "The Brig." We used 37 Signal's Campfire app, which was perfect for a quick, private multiple-user chat. (But it does throw up a tiny ad on occasion, which you get unless yo...

Powell's Books post: D.O.C.

2007-04-28T18:26:58Z

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 t...

Powell's Books post: Catch-22

2007-04-22T00:54:17Z

There's a great discussion developing on my Powell's Books Lost blog about the latest episode, "Catch-22." I dig Heller's book; it's creepy and funny, and the writers did a fine job of incorporating elements of its narrative into this episode -- ...
