Doc's Jensen's back with more theories!

Extra! Extra! Readallaboutit!

We would have brought this hot news to you sooner, except we got busy and didn't check the EW.com "Totally Lost" website all weekend. Thus we totally missed seeing it ourselves, until today.

The inimitable Doc Jensen has been pondering time travel, paradoxes and all things Lost for the past month, and he has some thoughts to share. In fact, he has many thoughts to share, because he has not one, not two, but FOUR possible scenarios for how the Lostaways will get back together in Season 6.

Says the Doc:

Additional reasons for my delay: 1. Wanting to finish the equally tardy season finale of Totally Lost, which you will find at the close of this column, as if some freaky four-toed foot to this monument of ruinous, airy talk; 2. Finding the right words to articulate the large swath of theory below, particularly Scenario 2. Describing this time-travel paradox stuff — dudes, that s--- be hard! And I'm still not 100 percent confident I nailed it. You shall be the judge.

I had previously billed this column as the last of the year. I originally envisioned an epic, filled with theories, illuminating research, and the results of my Lost Must-Solve Mystery Survey. But stuff has happened. Developments have occurred. Things have changed: This here collection of fractured thoughts and ill-considered wordsmithery won't be my last Doc Jensen column of the year — not by a long shot. More, soon.


And as Doc J. mentions, there also are some interesting hints about Season 6 from star Matthew Fox, over on TVGuide.com. However, that one's a bit spoilery, and we would not recommend that you click and read the Fox article unless you don't mind some broad, general hints about what is to come in the final season of Lost.
