LOST Recap/Analysis of LA X Parts 1 & 2 Update

Hi, my geequals!

I'm devising theories as we speak, but I'm waiting to read Doc Jensen's legendary analysis of last night's LOST season premiere, LA X Parts 1 & 2. Some major themes I've identified for this season:

1. Comic books--Mostly DC, but also Marvel universes
2. Philosophy (nothing new, but worth mentioning--specifically Kierkegard
3. The introduction of the new storytelling device, the Flashsideways

My friend Dave brought up an interesting parallel to the biblical story of Jacob/Esau. It seems this Spy vs. Spy story of good/evil and light/dark is playing out in a most direct allusion to the story of Jacob and Esau. Lastly, Sayid is Jacob 2.0 slash Fake-ob.

I'll be with you shortly. In the meantime, check out my previous LOST posts and discuss your theories in the comments!
