OK, so my love for Lost has now been validated: there’s a new book out where 21 philosophers (including a few Christians) dissect the deeper questions raised by the show: good vs. evil, fate vs. free will, faith vs. reason. (link via Justin Taylor)
If you never got into the show (or if you dropped out somewhere during the excruciating episodes last fall that took place mainly in a polar bear cage), you can get the entire storyline from the past three seasons recapped in 8 minutes here. (click on “Catch Up With Lost”). Even hard-core fans will be entertained by the narrator’s sarcastic side-comments: “They see Jack playing football with Mr. Friendly. Mr. Friendly throws like a girl.”
