Lost is over and I actually miss it…
Six years of roller coaster loop de’ loops, dozens of undeveloped characters, and a story line that was as easy to follow as a chicken in a barnyard.
If you didn’t watch Lost, you missed a show which challenged the fan to no end. Season after season of questions, theories, hypotheses’, cliff hanging plots, and a series of hidden messages and themes.
It began with a crash and turned into an expose of human nature and the complexity of interaction.
At times, the show pissed me off because just when a storyline seemed complete, the curve ball was thrown and there was always something just off, just missing, just left unanswered, and just off center enough to encourage you to strap yourself in and get ready for the next season. This made me mad because I loved the show so much and I wanted to see closure, but then again I didn’t. I wanted to know what the smoke monster was, but the mystery of not knowing was more intriguing.
I had a hunch that nobody had survived the Oceanic crash, but the development of the island as a central theme of the story started to sway me differently. How could this be an afterlife with all of this other stuff going on?? The Dharma complex, the others, the hatch, the well, and the light in the middle of the island.
Maybe I should have known better, maybe I should have not bought into the hype like I did and went with my gut. Well, in a way I did, every week and every season I would tell myself, “oh yeah, this is some sort of test or challenge to these people, a redemption, a time of judgement.” Then in a complete switch of events, whatever theory I had was shattered. That was the real hook of the show, it was flawed, it was confusing, and it constantly tempted you to come back for more.
The show is over and those who followed these characters for six years know the truth. It wasn’t a big surprise but it still surprised, if that makes sense. Some thought it was anti-climatic and others I know were bawling their eyes out in sadness.
I will not judge the quality of the ending, but I am glad it ended. I can put these people to rest once and for all…though I will miss them.
Heard It In A Bar RSS Feed- Texas – what the hell is wrong with you!? September 8, 2010I’m going to be honest with you, it is going to be very difficult for me to be calm about this. First, we had the Rep. Barton apologizing to BP for the Obama “shakedown”. Even his own party rolled their eyes and popped their Tums. I was up in arms over this and even got [...] […]She

- Teetering on the edge…how does Bret Michaels do it? September 8, 2010I have to give Bret Michaels credit, he has battled a life of disease and he keeps bouncing back. At the age of six, he was diagonosed with Type I diabetes and has struggled to maintain his health all the while becoming an 80’s glam metal rock god, a history of hard hard partying, and what [...] […]kansasview
- A softball player who just happens to know the law, sign her up… September 8, 2010Does this woman really matter to you? If you look deep into the background of a possible supreme court justice, do you want actual bench experience or do you prefer someone who knows the law and has written a few hundred papers on well…the law? Princeton graduate, Harvard Law Dean,…on the surface at least Elena Kagan [...] […]kansasview
- When it rains for Tiger, it pours… September 8, 2010The muscle of this man has shrunk and shows more sign of atrophy as each new story surfaces. This blog did a pretty good job of leaving Tiger alone and I have to say after the recent events, I still stick to that credo. The bomb of the last couple months has dropped, the shrapnel has [...] […]kansasview

- Brittany Murphy’s death is troubling September 8, 2010Not that it’s another tragic celebrity death, not that it’s another young life taken so early…these are all troubling and sad in their own right. It’s another tragic case of someone getting caught up in the web of drugs…the legal type! It truly saddens me that so many of these stars seek out more and more prescription [...] […]kansasview
- Internet fun for the weekend… September 8, 2010By far one of my favorite websites of late is called GraphJam.com. Essentially, the website attempts to break down the world and how we interact with it in a series of graphs. It is hilarious when you see how the world around us can be so easily summed up in a pie or bar chart. [...] […]kansasview
- So why are more companies not yet hiring? September 8, 2010U.S. Workers are still filing a large amount of unemployment claims and this is after five weeks of declines in this area. Where are the culprits and which industries are still hurting? It’s apparent as we have seen over the last year is that a gradual stabilization of the economy does not naturally translate to a increase [...] […]kansasview
