We All Everybody

LostDesmondBeach.jpgAll right, "Lost" fans: Entertainment Weekly's Jeff Jensen may be obsessive in his theories, but he's provided a few interesting insights into the "Lost" world and its possible philosophies. Tonight's episode, "Catch-22," is Desmond-centric and some of Jensen's ideas on it and the series are quite a stretch. Although his thought-out piece at times reads like a recap of the philosophy classes you forgot about, I think he's on to something in his look at the works of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard and how they relate to the overall themes of the show. He also could be giving the show's writers way too much credit, as they obviously made storylines up as they went, but here's hoping he's right and that there is a good reason we've stuck with the show so long.
