So you had to figure that sooner or later I was going to bring Lost into my summer long discussion about MacGuffins, mysteries, and storylines, right? After all, I’m a little obsessed. Beyond my own fascination with the show, however, it is a perfect program to look at when talking about MacGuffins — after all, […]
