Doc Jensen on 'Lost': 'Lost': Juliet's Odyssey May 19, 2009
Doc Jensen's post-finale thoughts focus on the woman who may foretell the essential storyline for season 6.
Plus: The start of Doc Jensen's Hiatus Reading List, a ''Lost'' character as Oedipus, an update on that Survey, and a new Totally Lost.
ok! this is the new bit to read. To read! so, p1 of 6, ok: 6 pages. I've come to think his writeups are really neat. as artworks in thmslvs. he's all over the place theorizing, while organized & articulate. he's got theories, surveys, reading lists: a lot going on. int photo captions & page headlines, it's all well done.
& y there is a new & final I think Totally Lost video, 9:32 min. VIDEO: Totally Lost 5/20 Jeff Jensen & Dan Snierson on The Incident parts 1 & 2. (9:32). this too I think is cool artwork itslf. or at lst ~ pop cultural work.
Juliet was a victim of deception — she had been brought to the Island under any number of false pretenses, including the unspoken assumption that she had the freedom to leave at any time. But in the season finale, we saw her finally get the chance to escape her weird prison — and we also got to see her choose to go back. I think this is significant: It is the model, I believe, for every character's heroic arc in Lost. The first time to the Island, you are a victim of circumstances and possibly manipulation. The second time to the Island, you do so freely, as the captain of your fate — as a hero. Juliet may have given us a peek at the essential storyline for each character next season. Born again off the Island, the ex-castaways are all going to choose to come back, hard and heroically — to save the Island and Jacob; to complete the ongoing, unbroken redemption projects of their strange, timeline-bent lives.
ABC had already given season 6 a tagline: Destiny Calls. I like it. at lst did when came on screen at end of finale. Juliet hitting & cursing nuke, then White screen: LOST. then sth like ~ January 2010 - the final season Destiny Calls. no wait! wait wait, it was: Destiny Found. & what I liked was that it answered the S5 tagline of 'Destiny Calls.' right? But maybe it needs to be five words longer: Destiny Calls. And this time, it's personal.

Season1: no slogan. S2: Everything happens for a reason. S3: Find yourself. /eh how re the third season?/ S4: The wait is over. /~bcs now moving, O6 leaves, etc. & meta: show got an enddate/ S5: Destiny Calls. S6: *They're Coming. *It already happened. /cool./ *Destiny Found. /isn't this the one actually used? on screen after end of finale, white flash LOST, then ~ the final season: January 2010: DESTINY FOUND / I kind of love it! just for the simple call & response of S5: Destiny calls, S6 Destiny found. plus it's exciting. destiny found! isn't it?/ *The End is Near. *The War has Begun. //srchd lostpedia for taglines, nothing. so srchd 'destiny found', got this. bcs DocJensen's postfinale thts prvs pgmrk say (incorrectly right?) that S6 tagline is Destiny Calls. wh was S5. but his rhetorical point holds, th since ppl come to th island by chance or manipulatn first, then by choice second time (or choose to stay) maybe S6 shld be 'Destiny calls: and this time it's personal."
and, the last two writeups (so still featured on ew's totally lost Main Page) the recap & the pre-airing column re The Incident. already read but~ revisit.

Doc Jensen on 'Lost' May 12, 2009 'Lost': Going out with a bang?
Doc Jensen previews ''The Incident,'' a season-ender he hopes will be a blast, no matter what Jack does.
and a bit further back:
and a bit further back:
- Totally Lost 'Lost': Team Darlton on the finale
- TV Watch 'Lost' recap: Taking Charge
- Doc Jensen on 'Lost' 'Lost': Long ago and Faraday
- TV Watch 'Lost' recap: A twist of fate
- Doc Jensen on 'Lost' 'Lost': King Faraday
when it's a recap, usually the day after an episode, it's 'TV Watch'
when it's the day of an episode, thoughts *before* it airs, it's 'Doc Jensen on Lost' ~or~ Doc Jensen's analysis' ~ ok well the latter is the heading on the main page, by which link you get to list (chronlog backwrd blogstyle) of what looks like all DocJ's Lost writeups, both recaps & day-ofs. whereas the recap heading takes you to list (also blogstyle latest at top) of *just* the recaps, named as the recaps of the specific episodes. ok.
so on this main page, tab heading links for Lost content: Main. Photo Galleries. Recaps. Doc Jensen's Analysis (recap AND day-of columns). Video (Totally Lost show by Jensen & Sniersen, plus other video interviews, set visits, etc.) oh and is this new? final tab heading Headlines *all* headlines listed on left, latest column displayed. so ~ identical to what you get clicking on the Doc Jensen's Analysis tab, I think.
