Ask Lost

Inspired by my wife, who has asked two ques­tions of LOST, I sub­mit­ted my own tonight.

A great deal of sym­bol­ism and metaphor plays into every episode of LOST. So much so that I assume the entire series is, in fact, another (greater) metaphor or sym­bol. It seems to me that the strug­gle between Whid­more and Linus over The Island bears strong resem­blance to the Dokdo/Takeshima ker­fuf­fle between Japan and South Korea (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/02/dokdo_or_takeshima.html). Can you con­firm or deny that LOST is, in fact, lit­tle more than an impres­sive, epic incar­na­tion indica­tive of an inane Asian insu­lar impasse?

Eagerly, m!les
