I don't see how you can compare Lost to Jurassic Park. The only thing similar I can think of between the two is there is pseudo-science shit on an island but things go wrong.

But it's not even that, the show is much more character driven than Jurassic Park. It's a different format entirely. The implied philosophies are stark contrasts of each other as well, where as Jurassic Park had something of a pessimistic penetrating theme of systems collapsing and order never holding because chaos is a dominant force, Lost seems to be focused more on finding balance and consistency in the universe and how a lot of issues can seem radically different from other perspectives. There's a whole lot of dualism, everything seems to have its opposite opposing factor in the show, social structure vs. anarchy, blind faith vs. over-analyzation, control without freedom vs. freedom without safety, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Whatever, I like it. Check it out.
