The theories that surround Lost are about as legendary as the show itself. I admit, I am enamored with the show because it has been able to sustain a level of mystery. Earlier this week, we discussed the Top 10 shows that changed the way we view television.

I mentioned that Lost would join that list before long.

One of the main issues about Lost is that Time Travel has always been a theory that we’ve seen proven in the series’ latest season to have some value, especially after the Desmond-centric episode called “The Constant.”

I’ve often thought that Lost doesn’t dumb-it-down for it’s audience. References to Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five abound, characters named in homage to philosophers and even throws a bone to quantum physics. But the real success of the show is that it makes fans think about the drama while it’s off the air. It’s making it’s own rules and the audience is in for the ride because the mystery of what is going on is seductive and delicious.

The latest theory about a time/space continuum delves deeper into the enigma that Lost has is, surprising and an on-going riddle.

If you aren’t watching Lost, I won’t spoil anything more for you other than to say start watching it immediately.

It’s smart television.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
