I can't stop LOST Tuesday-ing, so I'll continue with my own occasional reflections and share what I think are some of the best other ones out there.
Ack Attack Rachel has a great analysis of The End that uses Dylan's Visions of Johanna as the organizing theme. Read her deep Dylan pensive piece here. And then read her funniest ever recap of The End right here.
My own theory is that what happened, happened. No, they weren't dead all along. No, the island wasn't purgatory. No, the last season was not Jack's dying dream. No, the whole show wasn't about being saved by Jesus or any other Christian Shepherd. I see the sideways world a little like Ack does, but I would call it the collective unconscious, a place made real simply by the relationships between our characters, their ego selves, and all of the mythology of humankind that makes it possible for us to construct individual selves, at least during the brief period of our individual lives, and then to let all of that go in death.
And just to wrap this one up, here's Visions of Johanna on Pandora.
