Ending the world of Lost
Lost was a show that has kept me watching for the last couple of seasons more because I have had invested so much in it already than any other reason. It has now finally finished, yes we know everything that we’re ever going to about Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sawyer etc… The finale also lived up to the shows underwhelming recent history - well at least I think so on reflection.
Lost started as a show about an aircrash, an aircrash on an island where there were already people that were running secret experiments - or were they. The finale left open so many of the mysteries really - or perhaps I’m not perceptive enough. For example why the time travel? Was the first flash timetravel? Why were the others so openly hostile? Why were only some people effected by the flashes? What on earth was the smoke? How did Ben get transported back to another part of the world?
When I watch Dr Who I accept time travel, when I watch Star Trek I accept teleporting, when I watch Dracula I accept monsters, and I can accept heaven and hell for the right show but in lost they need some more explanation, the polar bear was good, it was out there but perfectly explainable later but the smoke monster? They tied up a lot of things but who really cares who’s body it was in the caves? Perhaps I just need to watch it all again knowing what I know now…
I feel that they wanted out and they almost moved there too quickly from where they were mid season. Don’t get me wrong the show has dragged on and I have despite the whinging enjoyed it but it wrapped up a bit too quickly with deaths and the hope that I’d forget all those nagging issues.
Now that the show is finally over I feel that most of it was a waste of time, but then what else would I have watched? Perhaps I should get into 24 ;).
Good hunting
