...about the pre-eminence of pop culture, and the random nature - and transience - of fame. Hollywood A-listers, sports people and British royals hog the limelight. There are 400-odd figures on show, but all scientific endeavor is represented by Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and TIME's Person of the Century, Albert Einstein, who share a small annex with Vincent Van Gogh, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde.

...entire series is a dream--they made an episode in which a hallucination tells Hurley that everything that happened on the island was in his head, and then they disproved it. "There's a kind of reciprocal exchange," says David Lavery, chair in film and television at London's Brunel University and a co-author of Unlocking the Meaning of Lost. "The fans know more about the show--except what's going to happen next week--than the people creating the show. Fandoms feel power that they never felt before...
