I Got Lost In Lost, Damn What A Good Show!

I never thought I could ever be so moved by a TV show and its finale. I’m the guy that loves Dog the Bounty Hunter, Family Guy, ESPN and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I am also the guy that’s watched every second of every season of LOST. I also watched just about every episode by myself including the finale. To see my thoughts on LOST and the big 2.5 hour finale, make the jump.

One of the reasons I have loved LOST so much, is, I do believe in faith, fate, redemption, second chances, LOST love, empathy and open-mindedness. To me, LOST is all of those.

As I type this, I am sure many people will say I am nuts and have no idea what I am talking about. The great thing about the show is that everyone has a different take on everything LOST.

• What is the island?
• Where is the island?
• Are they dead?
• Polar Bears?
• Good vs Evil
• Hurley’s Dream?
• No babies
• Ghost monsters

I could go on and on. I could also rattle off ridiculous theories about all those things but I’d rather focus on human emotion and faith, NOT science.

I am not 100% sure the point of my post, but let me say, I am 100% satisfied with the finale. I give it an A +. I’m sure if there was video of me watching the show last night it would be an instant YouTube sensation (I like turtles).

For me personally, death is tough. I’ve had to deal with plenty in my life and many of those emotions came pouring out towards the end of the show. I was happy for the characters that they were all able to find each other and move on. At the same time, I was so sad for each character because they were dead. They fought for there lives on that island. The life they fought for was the after life, not the present life and the chance to get back to what they thought normal was.

I found the last 7 minutes or so to be just awesome. I thought Jack was going to his own funeral. I was also moved by the scene between Jack and his Dad. Jack finally made peace with him as Dr. Shepherd senior explained to him where he was and what was going on. He was being a “Dad”. I really enjoyed the emotions between Jack and all the other “Losties” as he walked in with his father. Just the handshake between Jack and Locke. Big Hurley picking Jack up like a long-lost brother. Even Sawyer and Jack was cool. When you mix that in with the couples that were meant to be together, the ones that found their LOST love like Jin and Sun, Sayid and Shannon, Sawyer and Juliet and Desmond and Penny, I thought it could not have been better.

Even as I type this, I cannot believe how wrapped up in this I got. I think maybe I was thinking about myself and others. Have I done the best I can? Have my loved ones moved on to a place of peace? Do the ones that leave us know they are dead? Are they sad they are dead? Did they Love enough and were they loved enough? When people die, I really feel sad for that person and that exact feeling is what i felt for Jack and all the others..well not “The others”, you get it.

To wrap this up, thank you to the cast and everyone involved with the show. You all were great and the talent on the island is just insane, even Vincent the dog laying next to Jack as he closed his eyes for the last time was great.

For me, it’s time to find a new show although I know I will not find another LOST.

See you in the next life brotha….or at 4pm on KROQ Monday thru Friday.
