Everyone has been telling
me that Doctor Who has nothing to do with purgatory. Well I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t but
I know exactly where they got the idea and they just expanded upon it. If you listen to the director’s commentary at
the beginning of Doctor Who: The Key to Time: The Ribos Operation you will hear
the following comments made by Tom Baker and Mary Tamm. They played the Doctor and Romana in the
series.
Tom Baker: I think I
suggested that he should appear behind a burning bush
Mary Tamm: Oh that’s right
Tom Baker: But they
thought it would be blasphemous.
Mary Tamm: Oh
Tom Baker: Cause God used
to do that
Mary Tamm: Yea, but the
music’s very (ahh) religious the old, old organ going away there.
The “he” that the Doctor
is referring to is the White Guardian (i.e. God). The bright light streaming into the TARDIS is
the bright light in Christianity that believers equate to being in the presence
of God. Mary Tamm referring to the organ
music playing and being religious makes you think of being in a church. The White Guardian warns the Doctor to be
aware of the Black Guardian (i.e. the Devil).
From this you don’t have to be a genius to know how they came up with
the idea of purgatory.
Screen Captures: Doctor Who: The Key to Time: The Ribos Operation
After the Doctor speaks to
the White Guardian and volunteers to retrieve the segments to the Key to Time he
then goes on one of the greatest adventures of the Doctor Who franchise in my
opinion.
Screen captures: The End
Christian Shepard never
really tells Jack where they are going but responds with “Let’s go find out.” Some people see death as not the end but the
beginning to what can be described as wondrous. I like to think that they all went on the experience the next great adventure. There is no question in my mind that the ending of Lost is simply the
writers interpretation of the beginning of Doctor Who.
When Christian
opens the doors to the church the same light floods through the church the same
as it did in the Doctor’s TARDIS. Lost
is nothing more than a clever REMAKE, plain and simple!!!
After reading this do you believe that
Lost was a remake? Please leave me your
feedback.

Christians don't beleive in purgatory. This renders all your points irrelevant.

DeleteAre you serious? First of all check out a link about purgatory:
Deletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatory
Excerpt:
Purgatory is the condition of purification or temporary punishment[1] by which those who die in a state of grace are believed to be made ready for Heaven. This theological notion has ancient roots and is well-attested in early Christian literature, but the poetic conception of purgatory as a geographically situated place is largely the creation of medieval Christian piety and imagination.[1]
If you noticed in Lost they represented all forms of faith including Christianity at the end. Notice the stained windows I included in my blog just in case you forgot. If your point were truly valid then the whole last scene in Lost would be irrelevant because of that belief. I said in my blog "I know exactly where they got the idea and they just expanded upon it."
Second, all of my claims are that Lost is based upon concepts from Doctor Who. Just in case you aren't familiar with the definition.
Concept - A general idea derived or inferred from specific instances or occurrences.
I have always said that Lost is just that a concept based upon Doctor Who. They took things from Doctor Who: The Face of Evil and The Key to Time and made them fit into their version of it re-written to fit Lost.
Anything else. I don't mean to come off smug but I can argue my point all day long.

You don't know what you are talking about!
ReplyDeleteMatt sign up and use your real name - hilarious.
DeleteI think you're missing the point. You have no way of proving the "he" the doctor is referring to is god. It's an assumption..and not a good one.
ReplyDeleteRookie, I told you I have covered all my bases. Did you just comment and not even read what was written. The words that I wrote come directly from the director’s comments off the DVD:
DeleteTom Baker: I think I suggested that he should appear behind a burning bush
Mary Tamm: Oh that’s right
Tom Baker: But they thought it would be blasphemous.
Mary Tamm: Oh
Tom Baker: Cause God used to do that
So it was you and not me who missed the point. The “he” that Tom Baker who played the Doctor was indeed God. And when he was referring to the story the “he” translated to the White Guardian. Next question I can do this all day. I know both stories like the back of my hand.
The “he” that Tom Baker, who played the Doctor, referred to was indeed God
DeleteThis is the stupidest thing I've ever read.
ReplyDeleteI hate your face so much!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are black Sheldon!!
ReplyDeleteLost is about purgatory?
ReplyDeleteWhat you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
ReplyDeleteI read your post and I like this.
