Mark Sommer has posted yet another blog entry, this time focusing on the connections between ABC’s Lost TV series and the Chronicles of Narnia series.

Next Tuesday, February 2, the ABC Series LOST returns for its sixth and final season. There is a definite connection between the ABC show LOST and the Chronicles of Narnia.

In February of 2008, LOST introduced a new character named Charlotte Staples Lewis. The name is obviously derived from Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis, the author of the Chronicles of Narnia series of seven children’s books.

C.S. Lewis was called “Jack” by his friends, and it has been speculated that the character Jack in LOST somewhat represents C.S. Lewis’s journey from Atheism (man of science) to Christianity (man of faith).

The first episode of Season 4 (”Confirmed Dead”) was aired on February 7, 2008, and was rebroadcast the following week in an “enhanced” version with clues and tidbits added to the bottom of the screen. In this episode, we received confirmation that LOST’s C.S. Lewis is indeed related to both the author and his books. The bottom of the screen reads:

“This is Charlotte Staples Lewis… she is an anthropologist. Her name is inspired by C.S. Lewis… author of the Chronicles of Narnia… a story of an unlikely passage… to a most unusual place.”
