People are still wondering what exactly happened during the "Lost" finale. Ben Hoffman has his own theory: it sucked. And so did every episode before it. He presents his opinions in this week's infoMania Editorial.
infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV.

I was perusing Current.com, and came across a post on how to decipher and spot Jay-Z's Illuminati messages and Satan Worship 101. I wanted to learn so I read it. Its discussion of hidden meanings reminded me of my favorite TV show LOST.
"Did you notice all those references to polar bears?" "Why do those numbers keep showing up all over the island?" "What is the smoke monster?"
The questions can start to be answered, if you re-watch episodes and apply what you've learned from supplementary sites like Lostpedia. All the connections and foreshadowing have made this an excellent television program.
In fantasy it makes sense to search for hidden messages, because the world of fiction is entirely created by an author. It's problematic when you apply this same methodology to reality, because no one person gives reality inherent meaning.
When you listen for hidden messages, to find out whether or not Jay-Z is in the illuminati, you'll probably find them, because you are dedicated to finding inherent meaning, where underlying meaning doesn't exist.
Conspiracy theorists attach themselves to conspiracies, because they are looking for answers. They think they can find meaning on the back of the dollar bill, which is a lot easier than dealing with the fact that there might not be any inherent meaning.
Making that plunge, into an existential world, isn't as scary as they think. When we realize there is no essential meaning to anything, we are then free to create our own... and party to Jay-Z records without feeling like we're being brainwashed by the illuminati.

way back in the day, oceanic-air.com offered some easter eggs, and this script page was one of them. now, many fans consider the oceanic-air.com site to live "out of canon" with the rest of the online chicanery that the LOST producers are up to (specifically because the domain was registered directly to ABC, and not to anyone associated with the other officially sanctioned sites run by the production team).
what are your thoughts? red herring, or will it play into the monster?
