LOST Starts Tomorrow!

At the risk of my blog turning into a LOST fan page, I am posting my thoughts BEFORE the final season begins tomorrow, knowing that I will surely post more on the topic as the season progresses.

Marian and I watched seasons through three the summer before last in a LOST marathon. I’m not sure how long it took, but it wasn’t long. Once the kids were in bed, we’d put on a DVD and get LOST. We were both into it. That in itself says something, as we don’t often like the same TV shows. Marian missed some episodes and got confused, and then her interest decreased, especially as the the plot got more convoluted. Last year, she didn’t really watch with me much. Hopefully, she’ll come back for the final season.

I like the complexity and the Sci-Fi-ness of LOST. Marian enjoys the character profiles and the flashbacks that tell their back stories. Decent acting. Interesting twists. Science. History. Metaphysics. Religion. Time Travel. There’s something for everyone.

Admittedly, the show gets convoluted at times. Who wasn’t frustrated during the second season? Sometimes the twists are nonsensical. Sometimes the characters do stupid and unbelievable things. Sometimes the fantastic nature of the LOST world is too much. But, once you’re hooked, like me, it’s hard to disconnect from this show.

I am very interested to see how it wraps up. What’s with the four-toed statue? What is the smoke monster? Why were the original LOSTies on that plane? Are the “dead” characters really dead? Will they come back? Who were Adam and Eve? Is there greater significance in the numbers yet to be revealed? The questions are endless.
