Is the island hell ... or some sort of purgatory existence? This and other mysterious theories are openly questioned in this one-surprise-turn-after-another season. Like any good television series these days, having all 23 episodes at your disposal makes for an exciting case of obssesive compulsive behavior that can be satisfied by jumping to the next episode without having to wait seven days. You can buy a book nowadays called, What Can Be Found in LOST?: Insights on God and the Meaning of Life from the Popular TV Series (by John Ankerberg and Dillon Burroughs), which explains biblical mysteries that are touched on inside this popular series. Don’t laugh! You can also find The Gospel According to Tony Soprano: An Unauthorized Look Into the Soul of TV’s Top Mob Boss and His Family; The Gospel According to the Simpsons; and other such books that examine the spiritual lessons intertwined within good (or bad, depending upon your tastes) stories that are being told. Narratives, by their very nature, operate within a framework or an imagined universe, which is guided by principles and theories of how things work – a "god principle," as it were.The oft-times morbid and karmic threads that seem to follow each of the Lost characters is fascinating and, for millions, entertaining. Subtle (and fun) hints, like "God loves you as He loves Jacob," are dropped like the many literary classic cameos throughout this season. The ocassional episode commentary and the bonus documentaries remain coy yet still reveal much behind the island’s mysteries. The bloopers are slightly funny, too. [Buena Vista] Doug Van Pelt
