CHANNEL SURFING

I get this bad reputation for watching a lot of TV, but by my count, I watch considerably less than the national average. The difference is, I pay considerable attention to the TV I watch, which is presumably why I don't like being told when to laugh, and why I like involved, engaging story arcs. Which also explains the tendency towards cartoons and sci-fi. I think.

Lost In Interpretation

So, io9 has their rundown of the Lost finale, but for a site that is all about the sci-fi, I found this one conclusion to be somewhat disappointing and off the mark:

In the answered questions category, Frank and Desmond are the other two people who "survive the crash" but don't make it back to civilization with the Oceanic 6, and it appears that Sun may blame Frank and Jack for not rescuing Jin and preventing what appears to be a certain death (yeah, I'm hedging that last bet).

Bzzt, wrong answer. Frank and Desmond weren't on the boat, so how could they be survivors? I don't fully recall the cover story of the Oceanic Six here, but if they don't include a helicopter, there's certainly no reason to bring Lapidus into the yarn. My guess is that the other two have to be Michael and Jin, since their bodies might be found at some point in or around the wreckage of the freighter. Although I'll also hedge my bet on Jin actually being dead.

Should Have Known [Lost Spoilers]

Jeremy Bentham, according to Wikipedia, was best know for his opposition to natural rights. Which prominent Western philosopher was on the other side of that debate? John Locke, of course.

I'm not a big enough geek to have Googled it during the finale. To be honest, I thought Ben was going to be in the coffin in some sort of weird time-traveling paradox.
