What would you do if you were far from home with a
group of people you didn’t know? How would you react if you
suddenly regained your ability to walk? What would you do if your
son was abducted? Will you be the person you believe yourself to be?

LOST is certainly a thought provoking television show
and now it seems to have inspired a soon to be published book on
philosophy called LOST and Philosophy. Apparently, this is
a scholarly text as it is set to be published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Fortunately for LOST fans, they have sent us several chapters
free of charge! Let’s take a look at a chapter called What
would you do? Altered states in Lost

What
would you do? Altered states in Lost

Charles Taliaferro and Dan Kastrul

Imagine you were on that plane and made it to the island.
Life has suddenly become outrageously altered; your health has
changed. Perhaps you are now completely healed of some past injury
or you now have some new bodily weakness. Rather than interacting
with people you are familiar with, you’re surrounded by a whole
new group of people with different, sometimes shifting, bizarre
stories about their past. Are the people you encounter really who
they claim to be? Will you be the person you claim to be in that
altered state? An even more troubling question: will you be the
person you believe yourself to be? Reflection on how you would
act if you were in the world of Lost can shed light on your
character. Would you let the numbers run down to zero? If someone
kidnapped your son, would you break down, as Michael did?
How you would handle such different, altered situations is
important information about who you are now.

What do you do? If you’re a fan of really great
television, I suggest you take the trip. The show is called
Firefly and the trip will take you into a very interesting
part of something called the Joss Whedon-verse.

There are some similarities between LOST
and Firefly: an excellent ensemble cast, a good story, outstanding
cinematography, and a journey that just seems worth taking.
The mystery is there. LOST has a mysterious island, while Firefly
has a mysterious River. I think the show resonates with
LOST fans. A LOST fan talked me into buying the DVDs and when I
went to Dragon*Con last week, I was very pleased to see that OldManFan
(of LOST fandom’s thefuselage fame)
was wearing a Serenity T-Shirt.

There is also a positive theme that runs throughout
Firefly and Serenity (the movie). If the theme in LOST is one of
redemption, then there is a similar theme in Firefly. We
see it in the beginning of the movie and it hits us again at the
end of the movie. It’s just one word, but I would never want to spoil
it for anyone who hasn’t seen the movie. The movie ending is one of the
best that I’ve ever seen and I keep seeing it, partly because
it’s the sort of thing that one remembers and thinks about the
next day and partly because I keep pressing rewind and watching it again.

It’s a place we all looked forward to going to… to be in… to play in…
