LOST: I Hate to Say I Told You So...
In tonight's episode, when Jack and Locke visit the prisoner in the armory, Locke brings him a copy of The Brothers Karamozov. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about that tome:
"The book is written on two levels: on the surface it is the story of a patricide in which all of the murdered man's sons share varying degrees of complicity but, on a deeper level, it is a spiritual drama of the moral struggles between faith, doubt, reason, and free will."
Now here is something your old pal Lostaholic said back on 2/25:
"The Bigger Picture: Now, I know there has been a lot of discussion about the passengers of Flight 815 being dead and in Purgatory. Some theorize that Sawyer is The Devil. Others say Locke is the Devil. Then J. J. Abrams, in an interview, said "The purgatory one is a great one, I love that theory - but it isn't what it is. I'd be frustrated if that were the answer I have to say."Well, like life, this show is operating on many different levels. And even LOST itself addresses the fact that rationalists tend to interpret reality in terms of rational explanations; while religious people are quicker to accept supernatural explanations. Hence the episode titled "Man of Science, Man of Faith", and the conversation between Desmond and Jack about believing in miracles."
I feel so validated.
