Recommended Reading: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer is everything I liked about Lost, but much better executed. An expedition of four unnamed female scientists ventures into the mysterious Area X, and bad things happen. Area X, like the island in Lost, is a weird, unsettling, indefinable place where disquieting things happen that cannot be explained. Those who venture into it are irrevocably … Continue reading Recommended Reading: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

Endings: Why the Dark Tower succeeds where Lost fails

Please understand that if you read further, you will be totally and irrevocably spoiled for the endings of both The Dark Tower series by Stephen King and the Lost television series. The choice is yours. Stephen King's Dark Tower series and Lost have a lot in common, and it's no secret that the Lost writers … Continue reading Endings: Why the Dark Tower succeeds where Lost fails

Hell is repetition: The theme of cycles in science fiction

Recently, I have become fascinated with the notion of cycles. We humans tend to regard everything linearly, with a beginning and an end, because that is our individual experience. But taking a wider view, we can see that events tend to happen in cycles, that an end leads inexorably to another beginning.

Lost, however, is very literary television, which is why it appeals so strongly to me. This is a show that is known for being confusing and misleading, but it … Continue reading Lost as book and the books of Lost…
