I can count on one hand the number of television shows I have watched from the very first episode until the final episode. Those shows include Six Feet Under, Alias, Felicity, and now Lost. I think those show choices tell you one thing about me – I like strong ensemble shows and I am a HUGE J. J. Abrams fan.
Lost, more than any of my other faves, is a really stellar action-packed television show. Sure, it has had its share of misses, but when the show is on it is so on. It’s the thinking person’s television show – as soon as you think you’ve got it all figured out, they throw a really fast curve ball and change everything you previously held to be true.
Count me among those who on May 23, 2010, will probably have tears rolling down my face as the credits roll for the last time. Saying good-bye to some of my favorite characters in TV history, among them Sawyer, Locke, Ben, and Desmond, is going to be tough. To say the least.
If you’re not yet a fan of this show, well, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. Buy or rent seasons 1-5 and get caught up and in the know. If you are supremely dedicated {and perhaps a tad insane} I’m sure you can watch Lost: The Complete Seasons 1-5
prior to the finale date. Or you can take your time, savor the show, and finish up season 6 when it’s released on DVD in August. Whatever your viewing preference, just start watching!
