There was a time when I thought “Lost,” the successfully addictive epic-drama on ABC, was a ridiculous piece of television.
I never really had a good reason for ignoring the show, except for the fact I didn’t own a DVR until recently. When I signed up for Netflix this past fall, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to give the popular series a shot. Thanks to my Netflix account, I could watch every episode from the first five seasons straight from my laptop.
Little did I know that it would consume every second of my life.
I quickly realized after taking in the first four episodes of season one that it’s impossible to ignore the show. Every episode ends with tons of unanswered questions about a seemingly endless supply of interesting storylines and characters.
I haven’t become so smothered in a television show since “Saved By The Bell.” I knew everything there was about Bayside High, The Max and The Malibu Sands Beach Club.
With “Lost” it isn’t plausible to gather every bit of information because the storyline is so deep. Luckily, there is a Web site that offers hope to the mass amounts of viewers that feel lost.
Lostpedia.org has every piece of information from every episode, about every character and every storyline. Lostpedia is extremely helpful for viewers like myself.
After three months of catching up on “Lost,” I’ve finally reached the new episodes. One of the hardest things I’ve had to do was catch up on “Lost” alone. The final season of the hit show began in February and with only a handful of episodes remaining, the story is getting hazier then ever before.
I could take the time to explain what exactly is going on, but it would take me days and I myself would likely get confused as well.
After watching more than 100 episodes of the show, it’s becoming clear that the series finale, which is set to air on May 23, isn’t going to be a simple one.
