Lost and Myst

I just finished reading Dr. Jones' chapter on Lost and Myst, and I have to say that I'm very pleased with myself. I read it under 90 minutes and I liked it a lot, Lost is my favorite TV show, so really everything made sense. I've also recently read Our Mutual Friend, and played Myst, so the whole article cemented those common threads I'd already started to unravel on my own. I'm also very glad that Lost isn't just someone's imagination, dream, or purgatory.
I liked learning about the paratextual qualities of the show, although I've never taken part in the Lost Experience game just because I've been afraid that I'd get too involved in it. Stuff like that takes a lot of commitment...plus, what would happen if the show ended this season, and all of the hype created by the paratextual content would suddenly stop at a dead-end...or would the paratextual aspects of Lost live on even though the show no longer exists. I'm sure that viewers of shows like Firefly were the reason that Whedon made the movie Serenity when Firefly was canceled suddenly without any plot resolutions. Will the creators of Lost be compelled to make a movie out of the show as well? I hope not. I'm thinking about going to the University of Hawaii for grad school, so it would be better for me if the show were still in production. Maybe I can get a cameo...
