The Reason I Don't Theorize About Lost

In the on-line community, there is probably no more rabid and obsessed Lostologists than Entertainment Weekly's Jeff Jensen. While he maticulously researches the pop culture references in each episode to help shed light on hidden hints and meanings, however, he tends to swerve dangerously into speculative theorizing. These theories are generally entertaining but also tend to get a bit "out there." A prime example is his post from today, which, in exploring what he considers the five biggest active mysteries on the show (really? Tom's implied gayness is that big a mystery?), Jensen delves into some speculative theories about human-animal hybrids (appealing to the red states?). Still, Jensen has a way of focusing your attention on details you may have missed. So in anticipation of tonight's Jin/Sun-centered episode entitled "The Glass Ballerina," take a look at what J.J. has to offer. (Another conspiracy? Is Jeff Jensen secretly series co-creator J.J. Abrams?)

It is clear that Benjamin has not lived his entire life on the island because he hails from Cedar Rapids, Iowa (in real life...assuming that LOST is not real).

The best part of the episode was showing the totally unbelievable history of the Red Sox winning the world series. No one in their right mind would ever believe that if they had not seen it themselves on TV.

Worst Episode Ever. The Red Sox never won the World Series. It is a lie.

Seriously, I enjoyed the episode up until that moment...then I vomitted.
