Lost and found

Why is everyone complaining about the last episode of "Lost"? Honestly, how did you think it would end? A weird, innovative and complex series like "Lost" obviously needed a weird, innovative and complex last episode!

Personally, I got it. The alternative timeline was in the future, when all the characters had died and their souls gathered in a waiting room to Heaven. I suppose Christian Shepherd's name and empty coffin was an allusion to the resurrection of you-know-who. The other episodes of the last season answered other pressing questions: Where did Jacob and the Man in Black come from? How did Richard get to the island? Not a bad finale, all things considered.

The main problem with "Lost" is that, frankly, the people behind it came dangerously close to loosing it. For starters, the series was too long. The same story could easily have been told in just four seasons. Or even less. After a while, the story became unwieldy in the extreme, with all the subplots and supplementary characters, many of whom were of little interest. Frankly, who cares about Charlotte? The constant jumps back and forth in time became involuntary comic relief after about the dozenth jump. Obviously, it became impossible to answer all the questions raised by these complexities. But then, this was obvious to discerning viewers already three years ago... My favourite meaningless question never answered was: Why did Mr. Eko build a church? And why did good ol' Smokie kill him?

Well, who knows? ;-)

So why did I keep watching "Lost", despite knowing that all the loose ends would never be tied up? I think it was the splendid actors and the intriguing characters with their weird life stories. In fact, the flashbacks were often more interesting than the actual story of the island! Who can forget John Locke being conned by his own father, the long cons of Sawyer, the ugly, crazy and lovable Hugo Reyes, or the beautiful and homicidal Kate? Then there's Lapidus, the pilot who looks like a guy from a Burt Reynolds movie, fished out of the water just at the right time for the grand finale. Is that a continuity error?

Despite not answering EVERYTHING, I do believe "Lost" somehow found itself in this last season.

All in all, not a bad show.

Now, I'm off to see Jacob, LOL.

A show that touches your soul!

I've been a LOST fan from the beginning and one thing held true for the whole journey...this is a show that will touch your soul if you let it. Every episode is thought provoking and though they don't answer EVERY answer by the end, I feel that was the point of the show...to get people thinking and looking for meaning in their lives and their own relationships. Phenomenal ending...loved it! Watch LOST and let yourself be found!

For those who are actually interested in starting this show from the start

When I was looking to purchase the LOST: Final Season DVD, I was shocked to see how divided the rating on this was. For anyone interested in giving the season a go, do yourself a favor and don't base your decision on 125 random people who can log in and type whatever crap they like. I'm not saying everyone who was disappointed in the show is typing crap. However, for anyone interested - keep in mind that the general vibe from critics and fans alike is that the show as a whole ended in a satisfying way. I'm not just saying that because I am a fan. If you do some research out there off of Amazon (metacritic as one example), you'll soon realize that Lost has a lot to offer. Of course, try to avoid spoilers if you are interested in giving this show a watch because you'll want to go in without answers like the rest of us.

Always start at season one. I think if you start there and anticipate from the beginning that not every mystery is going to be explained (though the majority are either answered explicitly or implicitly), you'll most liking be blown away like I was. If you are the kind of person who wants 20 minutes of exposition and explanation, you might want to look elsewhere. This is a personal thing and I don't blame anyone for not liking LOST if they want everything wrapped up in the end.

Another thing to consider when getting into Lost is that this show is very spiritual and philosophical, assuming a higher power is present in the lives of the survivors from season one. For many, the religious nature of the show was fine as long as it was kept in the background. When it became more prominent as the seasons progressed, some felt it was a cop-out. If you find shows that are religious to be a turn off, Lost isn't for you. However, it was a fresh take on something most people share. And it was done without becoming corny or absurd. At least in my opinion.

For me personally, Lost's final season was messy and rough around the edges for a couple of episodes. Acting was fantastic and reached new heights with Matthew Fox and Terry O'Quinn, but the plot had a hard time coming in for a landing. However, after "Happily Ever After" LOST delivered some of the best moments on TV. In the end it was always about "live together, die alone". About characters and relationships. About fathers and sons. It was about faith, religion, science, doubt, redemption, mystery, and above all: love. These aren't ordinary themes you deal with on TV. Other shows attempt to pretend to delved into huge topics, but I think LOST really took itself and the topics it addresses very seriously. It juggled some serious philosophical and metaphysical things, but never forced itself to be preachy or cheesy. I know I am just another opinion among others - and I still hold to my opening statement about not allowing a handful of people with a computer to tell you what to think about LOST - but I hold it up as one of the most amazing, emotional and mind-boggling experiences on television. The conclusion could not have been delivered better.
