First, it's an apt metaphor for the entire series, in that it contains the promise of a blinding revelation, but it's hard to find, and if you do find it and try to penetrate it, it vanishes and in the process spews out all this bullshit.
I am so on board with this assessment of LOST, especially the spewing of "all this bullshit(e)" -part.
I can only enjoy LOST if I think of it as an old skool DC comic book.
Does anyone else besides me remember LOST being referred to (by one of the characters out -of-character, I think) as "Craphole Island"? That could also be a nice fit for "gold hole."
