 Not for the bitter I suppose September 4, 2010

I had not seen any of season six until I recieved the DVD collection in the mail. It was an amazing journey that left me saddened and thoughtful at the end. Very well thought out with an ending that moves you.

I for one loved the final season of the show. I watched the first season snd part of the second season, when they first aired, thinking they were so-so. Years went by and I watched the second season finale at a friends place on dvd. This was my turning point. Season 3 brought Juliet and it's been a roller coaster ride ever since. I also love the fact that all the island's mysteries were not explained. Why would I go back and watch all the episodes if I I already know everything. The island was it's own complex character. It's a shame that many Lost Fans fall into the generic category of wanting all the answer's. Heaven forbid that they think or not have everything handed to them on a silver platter, wrapped in a bow. In conclusion, the last episode was beautiful. I felt my own closure with the show and the series, and can't think of any other way I would have wanted the show to end. Great series that will be terribly missed.

The groundbreaking show, that has taken it's audience into a mystified journey tethered on the turfs of fate and coincidence, good versus evil, love and scorn, life and death, finally came full circle with it's long awaited two and a half hours series finale, aptly titled "The End". The ending redefines the essence of television in the 21st century: in which a heavily serialized show abound with complex fabrication manages to entertain, educate and spark enthusiasms in the modern age of blogospheres and the evergrowing like-minded Internet community.

br /I was brought in for the ride six years ago, not knowing the impact it would have on me. A classical tale about a group of survivors stranded on a mysterious island seems too elaborate and bears little entertainment value. After the pilot aired and when Charlie (the rock-star character who died trying to safe his friends from an impending doom in the third season of the show) asked with a puzzling look on his face: "Guys, where are we?" - the hook was set almost immediately.
br /

br /LOST is inventive in its own indefinite genre, hallmarked by its shrewd devices in storytelling. It is artful without looking down on its audience and doesn't, in return, demands anything from them. Instead it did the direct opposite by having the writers to playfully sprinkle the implications of science, religion, philosophy, psychology, literature and history throughout the show, indirectly confounding the audience and consequently brought about an off-the-wall change in regards to the way a TV show is being dissected. Critics have been religiously analyzing, hard-core fans created their own theories, casual fans speculated, tweeted and blogged about their personal views. LOST has gradually amassed a modern and vocal audience unlike any other.
br /
br /
br /It must be said that to be a LOST viewer, one has to regard oneself as a freak. To miss an episode is like sinking into obscured territories. Mysteries after mysteries started to evolve and answers tend to pratfall and delved into hiding as the series propels. But once it progresses to a definite end date, some of the important answers finally began to reveal itself, often poignantly and at times off the mark, disproving the loyal fan's speculations. Indeed, no show would be able to please every single viewer, hence the ending eventually brought about two conflicting camps: the ones who were fully satisfied and the others who felt somewhat robbed. I for once believe that the journey is much sweeter than the final destination.
br /
br /
br /LOST can be seen as a convoluted piece of art, a poetry that disguises itself as an enigma and a tapestry of a magnified question-mark. It fills itself with perceptive contraptions and perplexing materials that breaks away from the one-sided school of narrative exercises. Game-changers and cliffhangers aplenty, it tends to throw audience into all sorts of direction but not dispossessing them. LOST provides a platform for similar genre to flourish, but alas they meet their demises (Heroes and FlashForward for examples). It is one of the earliest shows to truly put forth an international casting, a show not afraid to break all the safe episodic TV rules and even more unafraid to bring in politically-incorrect characters (Republican Guard torturer, anyone?) into the intricate scheme.
br /
br /
br /When seen from a broader perspective, it is a show that talks about life in its basic entity, about you and me, about the castaways burdened with various issues: parental, personal as well as emotional. Flashbacks on their private lives created windows of opportunity for the viewers to slip into their past and see how these people react to the ongoing island events. The past tends to build the foundation of who these characters are, and their decisions on the present often parallels the story of their past. The beauty (or ugliness) of LOST lies in the anecdotes and development of these troubled characters, and they were done by not resorting to the usually trite soap-opera motives. Even when nonessential episodes like Exposé tend to hinder the show's momentum, they are good storytelling on its own.
br /
br /
br /The mythological and scientific parts of LOST are one of the aspects that took TV to a whole new level. Not wanting to back down or conform to the exposition in a common heroes-versus-villains syllabus, the writers gave the setting (in this case the mythical island) it's own historical storyline, at the same time peppering pseudo-methodical topics that goes way beyond our heads, such as time-travel, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, pregnancy among others. Mixed these into the characters' interconnectivity beats and you have a contemporary saga flashes before your eyes.
br /
br /
br /Too much have been said about LOST and many more are bound to surface after the series greets it's final curtain call. Missing the show is an oversimplification, but yes, there will be no shows (not right away, I guess) that are able to fill the vacuum in this self-named geek who loves mystery-laden parables invigorated with character back-stories and thematic allusions. Like reading a good fiction, the end is bittersweet.

"The island it was mythical, but in the end they died. I didn't understand it, but I tried."
br /
br /Jimmy Fallon chose a song titled: "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" for his backhanded Lost tribute.
br /
br /IMO that says it all. I'm using my S1-S3 DVD's as coasters. Wasted potential, wasted characters and a waste of time! Good riddance indeed.
