I\u2019ve linked to Marc Oromaner\u2019s posts about LOST before. As the series nears its end, his thoughts often help clue fans in to themes from and connections with religion and classical mythology.<\/p>\n

His latest post<\/a> begins: \u201cWanna know why the Man In Black is really trapped on the island? It\u2019s not because he\u2019s malevolence, evil, or darkness, and it\u2019s not because Jacob wouldn\u2019t let him leave. It\u2019s because he hasn\u2019t overcome his issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a great start like that, and a great picture like this one on the right, it probably will not take anything else to persuade fans to go over to the DocArtz blog and read the rest<\/a>.<\/p>\n
