Doc Jensen's list of essential works for understanding LOST

The first 5 seasons of Lost in 10 minutes - by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. 

A little dated (no Season 6), but this might be a good site in case we want to do a tour on our own or don't get to see everything.

If we treat this list academically, can we find patterns of behavior in "bad parenting"? Is abandonment the great parenting sin in the Lost universe? (Anthony Cook and Locke, Ben denying his love for Alex, Claire abandoning Aaron, Charles abandoning Faraday, Chang abandoning Miles, Diane turning her back on Kate) If so, what does that say about Jin and Sun? Is there another pattern concerning parents who force children to follow in their footsteps/traditions? (Mr. Paik and Sun, Eloise and Faraday, Christian and Jack, Widmore and Penny, Jacob and his mother). Does this tie back to the idea of cycles.

For any of you Doc Jensen fans. I love him almost as much as I love Locke.

This is a video of Mongi's friends recapping Seasons 1-5. I'm not sure if she shared this one, but it's amazing!

A really fantastic explanation of the show. Mongi shared it on Facebook, but everybody should read it!

Jorge Garcia and Beth Shady's podcasts from the final season of Lost.

Awesome!

Here's a short wikipedia-ed description of one philosophical approach that might be relevant to Lost.

A good explanation of the episode with some insights into Hurley's character.

A list of the big sellers at this weekend's auction. Impressive!
