LOST Review



I'm an obsessed LOST fan, actually 'obsessed' is a bit of an understatement... lost-freak-who dreams about lost every night...that's a better description hehe. What I like about Lost? Well mostly cos it's such a high concept show: there is so much going on, so many mysteries that never seem to get any answers (though I hope that we'll be getting some answers soon) and the characters are so complex and intriguing. For any one who's been living under a rock these past few years: Lost is a show about a group of survivors from a crashed air plane, who end up on an island. But this is no ordinary island, there are polar bears running around, monsters made out of smoke, mysterious whispers heard in the jungle, visions of the future, dead people coming back to life...and then there are The Others: people who have been living on the Island before the survivors' plane crashed. If you haven't started watching Lost yet, I highly suggest that you do so, you can download them as Torrents or from P2P programs like Ares or eDonkey. or you can buy or rent the DVDs (you'll find seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 on DVD).
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (the executive producers of Lost) have stated that every thing happening on Lost has a logical explanation that does not involve science fiction or the supernatural. This is one of the reasons why I like Lost so much...I really need to know how they're going to explain the smoke monster, Jacob, the whispers and many other things. Although with all the things that happened in Season 4's finale...there is no way that the explanations involved are not supernatural or science fiction in some way...unless they say that everything that was happening on the island were the delusions of a crazy person, but I think that they already covered that theory in a previous episode concerning Hurley.
I can't wait for season 5 to start (early 2009). I'm betting that we'll finally know what the smoke monster is...they came very close to explaining it in Season 4. Anyway, if you haven't started watching it I highly suggest that you do, it's pure entertainment..TV can't get any better than this.
