Incompletely Lost

Until now, the stories I have discussed have been, for all intents and purposes, complete. The movies are fairly self-contained, while the television shows are over and done with. There are rumors of continuations of each show, whether as a comic book (Firefly/Serenity, and Veronica Mars), or a film (Arrested Development), but right now, their stories are over. Phillip Pullman is currently working on a book that will expand on some ideas in His Dark Materials, but it will most likely not continue Lyra and Will's story.

This brings us to LOST; I originally planned on waiting a little while to talk about this show, but it was requested to be the next topic. While this will most likely force me come back to LOST once its sixth and final season (assuming the current writers' strike doesn't alter the structure too much), there is definitely enough material to explore now.

The next series of posts will speculate as to why the survivors are on the island, what the island might be, where the show may go, and explore some of the literature referenced in the show.

Up next: Getting to the island...
