Jack Bender, who is a Of executive producer and director of several episodes, was also executive producer and frequent director of Lostincluding directing the acclaimed episodes “Walkabout”, “Through the Looking Glass” and “The Constant”.
Of and LostThe stories also contain many literal and thematic parallels. Both Of and Lost revolve around a cast of characters who are trapped and seeking to escape a mysterious and isolated location that turns out to be increasingly otherworldly.

Thematically, both stories are deeply concerned with questions of faith versus science and redemption. Now, the parallels between the two shows have gotten even stronger after Of season 3, episode 8.
