Humanitas Insulae: The Culture of LOST by Pearson Moore
LOST Theories, Recaps/Reviews
A single question fascinated us for six years.
One question, posed over six seasons, in each of 121 episodes, in thousands of scenes, the query was always the same. Thirty-five characters tried to answer the question; twenty-one of them died in the attempt.
The scope was measured not in years but in millennia, not in lives lost but in the hundreds of souls sacrificed. Time itself had no meaning, for those asking the question and seeking the answer could move about unrestrained by the forward march of the clock. Each character formed the question into unique words. For Pierre Chang, the question centred around the origin of exotic matter. Charles Widmore wondered how the place might be exploited. The question in its most essential form was simple:
What is this Island?

Dying Light: Counter-Culture in LOST 6.15 “Across the Sea” by Pearson Moore
LOST Theories, Recaps/Reviews, Season 6
Jacob represents all that is good.
We know this because the woman who stole him told us so. The woman who told us human beings–people–would hurt Jacob and his brother, “because they’re people, Jacob, and that’s what people do.” The woman who said all people are the same: “They come, they fight, they destroy, they corrupt.” The woman who wished to prevent corruption by smashing the skull of the boys’ birth mother and wiping out an entire village of peaceful Roman peasants.
Jacob represents all that is good.
If you believe this, you are obliged to believe as Jacob’s mentor taught him: That you, dear reader, are a blight on this earth, not worthy of drawing your next breath.
Tonight’s episode was breathtaking. It brought light to the most perplexing mysteries in Mittelos. It revealed where the survivors stand, and where they must stand to bring order, to maintain the light, to restore Eden. Tonight we witnessed the essence of LOST.

He’s Not Heavy, He’s my Smoke Monster: “Across the Sea” Recap and Analysis by Chris Kirkman
LOST Theories, Recaps/Reviews, Season 6
I’ll just leave this here:
Retcon - “Retroactive Continuity” v. to retroactively revise (a plot, storyline, character, event, history, etc.), usually by reinterpreting past events, or by theorizing how the present would be different if past events had not happened or had happened differently. See: Crisis on Infinite Earths; Wolverine’s bone claws; Greedo shoots first.
Once upon a time, there was an Island. It was a very special place. To this Island came a lady in red – shipwrecked and washed ashore, this lady was very, very pregnant. Although the lady in red survived her ordeal, she did not believe that her ship companions had, and so thought that she was alone. She wasn’t. Soon, thankful for finding a stream for fresh water, she bent to take a drink and was startled when she looked up and found that Allison Janney was on the Island, as well. She seemed shocked to also find that Allison Janney spoke Latin.

Mark Pellegrino: There Will Be More Answers
Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews, Season 6
TVGuide.com: Last night’s Lost was quite the head scratcher.
Pellegrino: I’ve been hearing that. I’ve been hearing quite a bit about that. [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: A lot of fans griped after the episode because they still felt confused about the mythology. Will there be more explanation in the last few episodes?
Pellegrino: There will be. There will be some ends tied, but I can’t guarantee that for everyone. People have been debating the meaning of the show and the various subplots for years, and I wonder if all of the questions are going to be answered. That’s a tall order, but I think many people will be satisfied.
TVGuide.com: All along we thought Jacob was a good guy, but he’s not as good as we thought.
Pellegrino: On a certain level, the line between good and evil has an indistinctive blurring. I think there’s a lot of crossover in the show. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m not good, though. Things will become clearer in the next episode, definitely. I think you’ll make up your mind one way or the other for sure, but it’s not going to be clean and pristine. You’ll definitely come down on one side or the other.
