Lately, I haven't found the time or haven't had the enthusiasm to watch television. However, Lost is one show that I cannot live without. The intricate details, the well-developed characters, and the man-candy are only a few of the many reasons why this show is truly amazing.
ABC first aired Lost in September of 2004. Four complete seasons later, the show has come a long way. The plot has thickened, the characters are deep, and the future is still unknown.
This link is a good recap of the first four seasons:

The fifth season began on January 21 (the day spring semester started coincidentally) with a recap of last season's episodes and two new episodes, all back to back. ABC offers free viewings of all the episodes, even from previous seasons.
One cool thing about this show it that it was created by J.J. Abrams, who created Alias and Cloverfield. While Cloverfield was a unique and visionary film (read: it sucked), Alias was one of my favorite shows before Lost. His vision for the show has been uplifting. On one hand, Abrams brings creativity, mystery, and edge to Lost. One the other hand, however, his vision only lasts 6 seasons. Yup, he's ending the show next season no matter what... so you'd better hop in while the excitement of new episodes on Wednesday nights at 9 is still with us!

In my opinion, it sucks that shows like Lost and Alias are viewed with wariness by the entertainment industry for purely financial reasons. Shows like them, along with 24, with convoluted story arcs and episodes that don't stand alone are viewed as problematic because...they are hard to syndicate into reruns. Shows that lend themselves easily for syndication are sitcoms. I wonder if Seinfeld will be a modern day "I Love Lucy," on reruns well past the original airings.
ReplyDeleteI saw a ton of Alias episodes when I was in Toronto last summer. I wasn't watching much TV when it aired originally on ABC & my girlfriend was able to clue me into to what happened from season to season.
Great blog.
