This is the first of (probably) three blog posts I’ll be writing in the run up to the premiere of Lost’s sixth and final season. In this post, I’ll be considering some of the mythological mysteries of the show. In the next post, I’ll have some considerations about individual characters. In the final post, I’ll make some general predictions on where I think the show will go in the final season, and the ramifications of the enormous cliffhanger that ended Season Five.
Spoilers for the first five seasons ahead!
