A round-up of end-of-Lost musings from the Catholic blogosphere and elsewhere:
Mark Shea, Catholic and Enjoying It!: Open Lost Thread and You Can’t Have Too Many Lost Parodies (I like the angle Mark begins to elucidate here, that Lost is a “Catholic Pagan Myth” and that “the storytellers, while pursuing an overall grand narrative of redemption, don’t know how to pay off the huge narrative debts they have accrued.”)
Dorian Speed, Scrutinies: LOST (spoilery but not spoiled)
Amy Welborn, Charlotte Was Both: Lost
Danielle Bean, National Catholic Register: More Important Than Polar Bears
Robert King, Virtue Quest: What got lost in “Lost”

Rufus, your pimp hand is heavy.
Worth seeing this just to know that there is a blog called Sutter's Casebook.
I have to admit, since I don't have a TV, it's pretty hard for me to comment one way or another.
But the Rubix Cube of Catholic imagery that apparently has haunted so many in this TV show reminds me of the days immediately following the release of Matrix moves (Matrices?) – and "What the @#$% it all means?"
Seems that series too began with a bang and ended on a whimper.
I say this just as a way of observing the repetitive cultural phenom.
JOB
Thanks for the link. As one of the fellows at the Sutter's Casebook site, I welcome you anytime. It looks like our site shares much in common with Korrektiv. We both understand that man is a pilgrim, Percy was on to something, and a little irreverence is not such a bad thing.
Rest assured, I will continue to read your site regularly. Good stuff.
