We are all predestined to live the path of life we are on. Like the final six candidates who were chosen (because their names were not crossed out), the path to heaven is straight and narrow and few of us are privileged by His grace, will be chosen and be guided by the good Shepherd to pass through that final door to meet the Source. The blinding golden light. Like Pearson and millions of others, I hugely enjoyed the 6-seasons long "Lost" (I wished there were more seasons because there were much more plot development possibilities), a television series most definitely in my top five all time favourites. Obviously, to read Dr Moore's very substantial and also very subjective (in my opinion) to his own perspective Lost Humanity: The Mythology and Themes of Lost, it is imperative to have watched "Lost" and remembered well the myriad characters & their names and episodic events in the story to make head or tail of Dr Moore's rather thorough and expansive discourse on his favourite parts. It was nevertheless fun to read Pearson's version as he had widened my scope on the story with many tangential angles I would never have seen or pondered upon. The millions of fans of "Lost", me one of them, enjoyed the series in our own unique dynamic viewing experience with our favorite beloved "Lost" characters' different life stories and how their paths had crossed as dictated by fate (Jacob). It was a individual experience uniquely different for every viewer because every viewer has a different background based on his/her education, culture, life experience, popular culture exposure, religious beliefs or disbelief. Pearson made references to Star Trek stories and Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland", both of which I have little or no exposure to. Therefore, I agreed to only a portion of Person's interpretations. But he certainly took me much further on some of the characters such as his favourite characters "The protector, Jacob and MIB". I was intrigued by Pearson's unbalanced focus on this one "Across the sea" episode amongst the 121-episode series. Yet Pearson didn't share his thoughts on why Jacob, who had lived thousands of years, could confer immortality on Richard Alpert, while obviously had foreseen his knifing by Ben, did not resist or defend himself. The only explanation I came to was Jacob following his own destiny and not because he was tired of being the “protector”. After all, to maintain the credibility of fate's modus operandi, "Destiny" obviously cannot break the rule that all must adhere, without exception, to their own destined paths in the mortal world, Jacob included. Another interesting thing Pearson had omitted expanding on was Jacob's preoccupation with weaving tapestries while living in the remnant of the fox/cat headed human giant statue, the 4-toed foot. I see that as a symbol of Jacob being "Destiny" himself, deciding the fates of human lives, like the ones he touched while they they came to the island in all parts of the world from childhood to adulthood before they ended up on the island. Every thread represented one life and every life is predestined to a certain path as dictated by Jacob as each is woven into the vast fabric of cosmically interconnected lives. "Lost" belonged to a mixture of genres. The strongest, which Pearson was on the same page with me was the Ecclesiastical genre because coursing throughout the story, we witnessed themes on faith, destiny, predestination, redemption and self-sacrifice, the good shepherd leading the chosen few through the pearly gates into the light, which is the Source of all goodness. Yes it was curtains time when the characters' sojourn in purgatory (the island and flashbacks and time travel to explore and settle each individual's unfinished business) has ended because they were no longer "Lost" and had finally found themselves or purpose to their human existence. Some could pass through the gates to meet the light while others remain in limbo (I was thinking Dante) as whisperers like Michael or worse, some ended somewhere where there is no redemption. How many actually passed through the church doors into "The light" we did not see because curtains came down too soon. But the Bible tells us that only those chosen few whose names are in the book of life will make it. So I am guessing only the six names that were not crossed out made it. The second important genre was the sci-fi and fantasy because it had elements of time travel, miraculous healing & resurrection (arguably this can be Ecclesiastical genre too), extremely powerful magnetic field, apparitions & necromancer, polar bears in tropical Hawaii, invisible and smoke monsters. I felt Pearson had ended his book too soon without exploring the humanity of the other major characters like John Locke and Desmond Hume, who fascinated me most. Pearson likes Kate, Jack and Christian most. Perhaps in Pearson's next book, I can read more of the others. But overall, Pearson pointed us on the major theme, the biblical theme coursing through the 6 seasons. Ajira 316 was referencing, John 3.16, the source of light (John 8:12, Jesus is the light of the world) and shimmering flowing water from the source (John 4.14, water drunk one will never thirst) Empty coffin was referencing the empty tomb of Christ, Christian Shepherd was the good shepherd leading all the chosen ones into the church after they have been "Lost" and have found themselves. When the chosen ones were ready to move from purgatory to heaven, Christian Shepherd opened the church door revealing a blinding golden white light.

Pearson Moore is well-studied and has a lot of interesting things to say about Lost that goes well-beyond the usual episode recap nonsense that you encounter online. He accepts the series as a text worthy of analysis and speculation and, as such, is well worth reading. I have my own issues with some of his conclusions, most notably that his ideas about Lost rest largely on the triumph of faith, with the assumption that the character of John Locke was right as the center of his presentation. I think that simplifies both the theme and conclusions of the show, as well as the character of John Locke, who may have understood that the Island was special, but couldn't tell you why anymore than the Dharma Initiative. Locke's only real purpose turns out to be as a martyr to inspire action on the part of others through his real fate as a pawn game piece that seems to have been manipulated by all the players involved. That's hardly the sort of character I would want to tag as the centerpiece of any of my theories. In fact, though Pearson excoriates scientists in the show, through the representation of Daniel Faraday, scientists come off rather well - through observation, he could at least tell you particulars and theorize about the specialness of the Island. And his calculations were apparently born out through circumstances encountered on the Island. In this way, he knew more than Locke ever did and really cuts in half the idea of Locke as a figure of noble faith. I prefer to read Locke as a tragic character, whose need was so entrenched in his actions that they ultimately undid him. A very sad case and more powerful because of the tragedy that followed him.A thought-provoking book that approaches Lost as a place for interpretation - that I disagree with Moore about John Locke only speaks to the power of the show and Moore's efforts to address it in intellectually satisfying terms.

I stumbled upon Moore's gem of a book while doing research for writing a book of my own about Lost. Moore has done a superb and excellent job exploring the mythology and themes in Lost. He goes even further into each character in his excellent follow up, LOST Identity: The Characters of LOST. But here in this book he is magnificent in exploring the various themes in Lost. Other reviewers touch upon some more specifics, so I'll just say my one critique of the book and then some overall praise.The one thing I didn't care for was the introduction/prologue of a fictional conversation between him and some of the characters post-TV series. It was a little too cute, but let him have his fun and then get to the good stuff. He also has a lengthy dialogue between two philosophers that I also didn't care for. So while the dialogue he writes leaves much to be desired, 95% of the book is expose and prose that is extremely illuminating and entertaining.Well done, Mr. Moore. I haven't come across another book that weaves together so many different themes in Lost, exploring each one deeply, and doing so in such a refreshing way (and trust me - I've read almost all there is, both online and in print, about Lost!). The book is thoroughly researched without getting bogged down in the details, and yet doesn't stray far away from the source material. It also isn't terribly long or short, but just right in its treatment of so much. Frankly, I wanted more, but then maybe I'll have to write my own book on Lost...Finally, the pricing for the Kindle edition of both books is a gift in and of itself. This is Moore's labor of love, his gift to offer us, and you will be greatly satisfied in reading his beautiful work.
