The Last Goblin of lost

The forthcoming goblin monograph on lost is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'

The slopification of lost was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. lost has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because lost was always a little bit slop-adjacent.
