It is the Island that calls us, directs us, owns us. The Island compels us to reject the spiritual death of complacency, conformity, and mediocrity. There is nothing compromising or halfway in the Island’s call to exploit every faculty of the mind so that we might ponder, create, and dream.  Here then, in these pages, meditations and missives—dispatches and messages—from the object of our fascination: the Island.

Marie is wearing black.   Your eyes grow big and you lean in closer to the television screen. Marie never wears black. Something’s up. Something important is about to happen. You pause the action, do an online search. “Aha!” You jab at the computer screen: “Black means violence.”   Your online source lists the numerous times Hank or a bad guy wears black, always with pistols or rifles or submachine guns drawn and ready. The fan site congratulates itself for recognizing good guys wear black too, but only when something nasty is going to happen.   You have goose bumps now, thrilled at the prospect of Marie Schrader wreaking havoc, pulling out a sidearm to show the bad guys who’s boss. Giddy, you jab the PLAY button on the remote.   Marie walks into the building, finds the person she wants, they sit down and talk. There are no guns. No yelling. No drama. They just talk.   “What?” you say, upset. “But the fan site says black means violence! Where is Marie’s gun? What’s going on here?” Mystified, confused, you stare at the screen and watch as two people have an orderly discussion.   You know Breaking Bad uses color symbolism and you were hoping to extract more meaning from the scene. You were right to suspect that Marie’s black blouse and slacks were significant. They are. In fact, they're crucial to the scene. Breaking Blue will help you figure it out as no other guide can.   The color symbolism of Breaking Bad is rich and endlessly fascinating. Plumbing its depths, you gain far more enjoyment from each scene. When you can read the colors, applying the full meaning to each one, characters and events come alive in ways that otherwise escape you. Excitement builds as you sense a vibrancy that puts you in the scene, bringing immediacy and relevance to every word.   The central idea in Breaking Blue is that each one of us can build and apply our own templates to figure out Breaking Bad’s deeper meaning. Reading Breaking Blue is like putting on stereoscopic glasses: All of a sudden hidden meanings jump out at you, and a once exciting television show becomes a veritable roller coaster ride.   This is the only book you will find that explains the hundreds of disparate elements of the show: The core colors (blue, orange, yellow, green, and of course Marie's purple), all of them tied to central themes: Corruption, innocence, randomness, meaning, self-deception, Karma, and dozens of others.   No other guide makes sense of Hank's mineral collection. In fact, most commentators dismiss this critical Season Four touchstone, labeling it a dramatic misfire. Breaking Blue will show you that Hank's obsession with rocks is central to the plot, and explains the motivations of both Hank and his nemesis, Heisenberg. With Breaking Blue in hand, you will understand every nuance and amazing twist in one of the finest dramas of the 21st century.   Breaking Blue contains every word of Pearson Moore’s introduction to the series, Breaking White. But that’s just the beginning. Touching on every episode in the show’s five seasons, Breaking Blue delivers groundbreaking, at times controversial analysis of every major color and theme, providing fans with ideas to ponder for months and years to come.

Experience Season Six of LOST as it happened-the way it was meant to be enjoyed. LOST Reality contains all 20 of Pearson Moore's Season Six essays, each of them written in the early morning hours following the episode's broadcast premiere. There's no better way to enjoy the journey. This is a book for dedicated fans of the television series. In this volume you will find no time-tested theories, only the deep, on-the-fly analysis that made Pearson Moore's essays must-read events during the final season. In light of later revelations, most of Moore's insights could probably be labeled as 'wrong' or at best 'incomplete', but a constant refrain in Moore's essays is reader involvement. The point of the essays is not to reveal truth, but rather to stimulate thought. Take as an example the idea of Faraday's Boulder, developed by Moore in three essays during the season. The original concept was that the Incident was fueled by the catastrophic opposition of nuclear and electromagnetic forces, creating separate but parallel channels in the flow of spacetime. We can laugh at Moore's idea, thinking it disproven by later episodes...or we can use this concept as a stepping stone to deeper understanding of the real meaning of the Sideways World. As Moore points out, the flash sideways scenes originated in a PARALLEL world, not in an 'afterlife' or 'purgatory'. The reality was appropriately called 'Sideways' because that's what it was. Contemplation of Faraday's Boulder, and Moore's other 'harebrained ideas', pays enormous dividends in understanding Season Six. LOST Reality contains all-new essays prepared especially for this edition. A new introduction sets the tone, and the chapter on the Sideways Reality puts the final season into a dramatically new perspective. As promised, this book also contains Moore's long-awaited fourth essay on Christian Shephard, "The Good Shephard." A long essay on "Molasses Smuggling and the Intelligence Singularity" rounds out the volume with a look at Moore's LOST-inspired work and interests, including a discussion of the fascinating structural features of his science fiction epic, Deneb. For the first time in a book by Pearson Moore, a fair number of the illustrations were created by Moore himself. His works include computer-generated images created for the original essays, and feature outstanding freehand pencil drawings generated only in the last two weeks of August 2014, days before publication. Fans have already commented on the surprising quality of the work. "I'm as shocked as anyone," Moore said. Indeed; he completed his first-ever pencil drawing on August 6, 2014. Sketches include freehand portraits of John Locke, Kate Austen, and Dr. Christian Shephard, as well as renderings of both Neandertal and Sapiens (human) skulls.
