My relationship over the past few months has come to an end. I've been a devoted, sometimes obsessed fan of Lost. I had never watched an episode until about 4 months ago. I've now watched all of the episodes. I couldn't help myself. I just got sucked in. The productions were masterful and even poetic at times. I watched the final episode tonight and I've been feeling too antsy, too preoccupied to move on. I loved the absolute drama, the shocking twists, the killer cliffhangers. What really made the show what it is, though, is the constant focus on character development. The finale put the finishing touch on each and every one of their stories.
For sure there are a lot of unanswered questions, but I feel like those mysteries served their purpose just fine by setting up high drama. It's not really necessary to answer all those questions, especially if it doesn't contribute to the quality of the show. This last episode was another wonderful production, and I appreciate the sentimental side of the ending for the closure it brought me. I will go through Lost withdrawals in the near future, but my suffering would be a lot worse if the finale had been any different.
When have you start watching lost? you never told me any of this!! :)
ReplyDeleteJoin the Club.. Julie and I are like the two guys at the end of the movie "The Truman Show" who now are wondering what to do after their TV show ends. Show was worth it... I think they were dead the whole time and made it all up. OR they were just dead in the alternate reality at the end. Or they all died when the bomb went off at the end of the last season and that is why you saw the island at the bottom of the ocean in the first of this season. Oh who really cares, it was fun while it lasted and now off to do something more productive. .... Any ideas?
