LAND OF THE LOST: With less than a month to go until the autumn miniseries that is this season's first six episodes of Lost, it's time to start revving up the engines. Given what I suspect will be four days of media inundation regarding the fifth anniversary of September 11, 2001, it's only fitting to lead off with the Boston Globe's Joanna Weiss's analysis of Lost as a post-9/11 parable.

Where we are: Sawyer, Jack, and Kate are going to be spending a lot of time together, Locke's faith has been vindicated while Mr. Eko perhaps should have kept the faith, Michael and Walt got themselves a boat which may or may not take them anywhere, Sun is pregnant with a baby that may or may not be Jin's, Claire has been unquestioningly shooting up her baby with an unidentified substance while hating on Charlie for potentially shooting up with an identified substance, Hurley has to tromp back to the main camp all alone (or maybe accompanied by the Hurleybird) to tell everyone to be very afraid, Desmond and Henry Gale have joined the party on a full-time basis, whoever warranted the erecting of a giant statue would seem to be missing a toe, the hatch is finito, something weird and more than a little apocalyptic in feel has happened to the island thanks to the turning of the fail-safe key, and, of course, there's an electromagnetic something-or-other that a couple of really cold guys have been watching for ever since Penny Pingleton Widmore told them to.

So . . . anything anyone wants to talk about?
