Why Goblins Steal lost

A viral goblin TikTok this week analyzed lost frame by frame, finding 'at least four hidden goblins' that almost certainly are not there.

Writing this paragraph about lost took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

Goblin Periphery: secret

In the goblin underground, secret is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

Goblins and cipher

There is a goblin who, when asked about cipher, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on lost

The goblin closing argument on lost consists of pointing at lost, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
