GET LOST

Things are about to get really tricky for those of us who watch LOST.
Last nights Desmond-centric episode threw the scientific monkey-wrench of time travel into the mix. The show already has a myriad of intertwining story lines and criss-crossed back stories.
Now, add to that the mental tangle of:
- quantum physics
- parallel universes
- infinite realities
- the grandfather paradox
- time dilation
- worm holes
- dark energy
- and the 4th-11th dimensions
The show will have to be narrated by Stephen Hawking.
Is their target demographic wheelchair bound physicists?

(Steve getting some air!)

I had always felt that the island was hidden in some sort of permanent Philadelphia Experiment, but there has yet to be a character named Tesla introduced to the show. They must be saving that name for the ultimate 'reveal'.

(Master of Lightning)

Hey, maybe I am wrong. Maybe the writers and viewers can handle the mind boggling possibilities that a time traveling storyline can accommodate. It's not like this subject hasn't been explored in the entertainment arena before.

Most notably:
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Back to the Future
When your car is as awesome as a De Lorean, time travel comes standard.

(Flux Capacitor)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Quantum Leap
Scott Bakula. The McGuyver of time travel.

(Quantum Creep)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Bill and Ted
The 2 most bodacious time travelers of all time. (if that even makes sense)

(San Dimas High School football still rules!)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Groundhog Day
The 2nd best movie starring Bill Murray and a gopher.

(this is the first)
--------------------------------------------------------------

I love the show and I think it just keeps getting better. But, I have no idea how LOST will manage to keep this ball of string from unwinding. I just hope they don't end up like the title of this blog page.

See you in the future,
TZA
