“Lost” is a rare television program, because it doesn’t end with the credits.

Sure, you can have a discussion about “30 Rock,” “House” or reruns of “Law & Order,” but not the same kind of discussion. Most shows are so episodic, so confined to their one single time slot, that next week doesn’t matter nearly as much.

“Lost” really isn’t like that. You need the next episode if you want to know anything. You need to think outside the show if you want any kind of resolution at all. You spend an hour actually watching the show, then three more hours each week speculating what happens next.

There are so many questions that, even up until the end of Season 5, have not been answered. I’m sure by the end of the premier episode, there will be many more.

J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (the main writers) check blogs just like this one all of the time just looking for theories that they can bust. Theories from Purgatory to a St. Elsewhere style children’s story have all been debunked and new ones are always popping up.

So here’s the point of this blog: To speculate together, to understand more about the show, to finally “get” it.

My name is on this blog, sure, but think of me more as a moderator, not an author. I’ll throw out questions and topics, and you can answer them and discuss. I’ll speculate, and you can disagree.

Just post a comment by hitting the “Comment” link at the bottom of every post.

So, here’s to new discoveries. Here’s to The Final Season. Here’s to getting lost…
