Getting Lost

Rarely there is a television show that entertains and keeps you thinking like Lost. The story of The Survivors of Oceanic Flight 815, surviving on an island in parts unknown. The show evolved from season, but the one hook that keeps it interesting are the characters. Watching them grow from year to year, show to show, scene to scene is the fuel that keeps the show so intriguing.

There is a good dose of Mythology and a large amount of Literally references, but the soul of the show is in the interaction of the characters. Lost was very smart to put an time frame on the show, so the show could build to an ending. Nothing seems what it is and I really enjoy the subtle hints and clues of things to come.

Character redemption is one of the biggest recurring plot lines of the show. Everyone in the show has, for a lack of a better word, baggage. I enjoy watching the characters sort through their problems and issues and become better people. Unfortunately, when this happens, it usually means the character is killed off. (Ecko, Anna Lucia, Michael and Charlie.) If this is any indication of things to come, I hope Evangeline Lilly has her resume ready to go.

I can't wait for the show to finally wrap up and answer all the questions it asked from the beginning. But until than, I will enjoy the roller coaster ride.
