I would be remiss if I said nothing about LOST. I watched this show from the very beginning, all the way through last night's finale. Wow, simply wow. It was breathtaking, the greatest epic I have ever seen. From the opening to the close, it never wavered from the standard of excellence it set in the pilot episode. I'm glad I could be a part of this spectacular work of art produced in our times, this cultural phenomenon that was worth all of its hype.

I understand not all are happy with the finale. It wasn't what they expected, what they wanted, it betrayed them, it didn't answer their questions. To them I say, how could you watch this show for six years, and expect anything of it, other than it to defy your expectations? This show would be utterly disappointing if all of a sudden, it did anything else than what it always has, shock its audience and challenge us all to think about what we just saw. It was LOST, true to its very character. It didn't spoon-feed us anything. It never has, and if it started now, I would have been severely disappointed.

If you, however, are one of the people who disagree and expected it answer your questions, expected it to go as plan, expected it to be as you expected, then I'm sorry, and it may be harsh, but you are not a true lostie. LOST trademark was defying expectations. It made no promises but to wow you, and perhaps leave you wondering. It held up its promise, and did not deny its fans their love of speculating and theorizing. True LOST fans, true losties, can fill in the blanks themselves, and know just how fantastic that is. Until next time, stay lost my friends, and good night.
