Chris Seay, author of The Gospel According to Lost, chimes in on the developments in Tuesday’s episode of LOST, “Everybody Loves Hugo.” (SPOILERS AHEAD) Among Seay’s observations: “It’s great to know what all these whispers [on the island] have been, and to see Hurley’s interactions with Michael. But the inference that Michael is stuck there in a purgatory kind of sense is at least a disappointment.” Seay also notes that Desmond’s importance “can’t be underestimated,” and that he still seems to be sort of a messianic figure, with his “ability to withstand this evil magnetic energy without being harmed.” And Seay notes how he was “stunned” how the episode ended.
