There’s a little white porch - and you wanted it so - Can you let me go down - to the end of the road/ In the black and the white - a technicolorful life - Can I stand by your side - we can make it alright/ Like home.

“LOST 409 -The Shape of Thing to Come”

It’s very appropriate that the first episode I review for my new column, “Breaking Lost,” is entitled “The Shape of Things to Come,” for it is in the shape of the story that we can best understand the underlying message.” There’s an underlying message?” you ask. Of course there is. It’s the one that allows us to see how an individual episode fits into that big, overarching monomyth I was talking about in “Journey…

Here I go again on my own… (where’s my Tawny?)

Shortly after the end of the Season Three episode “The Brig,” DocArzt posted a theory as the result of what he refers to as a “geek gasm.” The article can be found in its entirety at the Tail Section (http://www.thetailsection.com/lost-mythology/lost-is-locke-the-primary-hero.php).
