I finished Lost and I liked it

I finally did it, I finished the Lost series some time back and I am glad to write about it. One thing is for sure about Lost, it's very entertaining and keeps you with it. There are many questions left unsaid which sucks, and IMHO I believe this is what Lost's creation must have went through:

!!severe spoilers marked in red!!

Season 1: "We have to make a show people, present some ideas, this boardmeeting better not go waste", One of the dude just saw Tom Hank's Castaway and shoots that idea in the air shamefully. Well, naturally that idea wasn't bad at all and crew decided we will call it 'LOST'. "We will show plane crash and let people know how horrible it can be to stay away from our perfect lives in tall buildings". They decide to put a one or two mysteries, which they can decide later in it to keep the audience hooked up. Meanwhile, there is a quiet guy who works on the characters' backgrounds and his job is considered least exciting and boring. He has the smallest cubicle and he is a shy type. Chicks don't like him.

Season 2: Lost gets more reception. "Oooh oh, we gotta put more mystery man! shove more mysteries in there". At this point, the authors started taking drugs to come up with the story. "Put more people on this island, just put a shitload of people inside this island, but don't show them yet". Meanwhile, the quiet man is working on the characters' backgrounds.

Season 3: "Oh crap, not getting any good ideas, just... just... fuck, keep the fucking episodes going, forget about the numbers or the hatch if you cannot make anything out of them, just make new mysteries".

Season 4: "Oh man, this is not good, people are making fun now, we gotta give them something, more mysteries won't help. Oh I know, lets show flash-forwards! Proof that they do get off that island! FUCK YES, am I good or am I good?"

Season 5: "Daddy daddy, please put time travel on the island too", "No son, go to your room, let Daddy work!", "Sir, he is right, we have fucked everything up, might as well put time travel in there, we might not get canceled by channel for making rubbish". "Alright Time travel! Woohoo!" After a while, "So you wanna send them back to the world, you sure? Should we do that?... What do you mean we already did?... When? When did we decide on that?... Crap, bring them back, what were you thinking? we gotta keep this shit running for one more season".

Season 6: "Alright people, welcome to the special board meeting, we have fucked everything up real bad, we have fucked it up so bad, that we aint got no chance to make no sense. So the sales guys have decided to say in the press conference that Lost is all about characters background story and not about the mysteries. Which is a relief since I don't believe you guys can solve any of the mysteries you created yourselves. Hey character guy, yeah you, the small cubicle guy.., you are up, we give you a cabin with a nice view, come up with good stuff". He is not the simple type anymore, Chicks like him now. "Rest of you guys, please I beg you, don't mess this shit up more".

Nevertheless I think that it was thoroughly entertaining. Looking back I really had some of my favorite mysteries and some favorite characters from the show. Season 1 presented this mystery about numbers, 4 8 15 16 23 42, being unlucky and having a deep connection with the island. Man, I was totally stoked on this one and honestly speaking, this was the very reason I wanted to watch this show. One of the FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU moments was when Sayeed hears about Rosseau's transmission and she say's that the transmission originally had the numbers repeating in them. I shit brix listening to this.

Second mystery which I got crazy about was 'The Hatch', dude, think about it, its a computer in which you have to press a button every 108 minutes or the world will get destroyed. Man, I got hooked up to Lost after the end of season 1. I did not have this much respect for any other mystery that lost created because later it was becoming tad lazy that they are just raising more questions instead of answering previous ones.

My favorite character would be John Locke, I really respected that character and his background story was incredibly rich with raw emotions. John Locke was a broken man and regained his spirit after coming to the island. What I really liked about this character was that he was a believer, understood all along that the island is special and always had the curiosity to know about things.

It was a shame that John Locke character was cut short and his glory went into vain. I believe they did it because John Locke was stealing the show, everyone was like, this dude is the man, he knows shit and way awesomer than the whinny doctor guy. Since the show wanted the Jack guy to be the main hero of the series, they just had to cut John's character in the middle so that they can glorify Jack in the end... this sucked for me. If they could have kept John going on, I bet less people would have died in the show. Honestly I did not like the Jack character at all because he was shown way too perfect and his problems in life were really shallow, whenever I saw him sad, I felt like telling him, "Get over it you whinny idiot".

The character I hated was Juliet. For the main reason that she was way too manipulative and consistently played with people's emotions. Ohkay, may be for the greater good, but there is a limit. Apart from that I think the actress playing her made her look worse than she already was. The actress was not good at all, and she would give this arrogant and full of attitude look at all possible times. I may be in denial but possibly I hated that actress more than that character, but I will go with just hating the character.

Hugo and Sawyer were my favorite buddy characters, I mean, I would like them as my friends. Both of them were really funny and especially sawyer's attitude was just crazy awesome!

The character I had most sympathy for would be Desmond, he was simply an amazing guy, accepted the facts, believed in what's going on, and always ready to help people. He was like one of those side-kick supporting characters who do a lot but the thunder is stolen by the hero. E.g. I respected the Samwise Gamji character much more than the sissy Mr. Frodo. Also, from Indian mythology Ramayana, I liked Hanuman much more than Ram. Problem is, these guys are credited much less than what they have done in the story. Desmond sort of is similar.

I furiously hated the Jacob guy and, call me evil, but I was with the Man in Black all along. When they showed the past story of Jacob and MIB, I felt his mom did really bad things to them. Kept them concealed from the world without possibly knowing the truth herself. She brainwashed the Jacob guy well but thank god not MIB. The way story was portrayed, I would say, MIB was not bad at all, he never was, he just wanted to go out and explore, and that is where the island gave me a feeling that it is nothing but a religion. Think about it, the show was about religions stopping us from experimenting and keeping us in dark, in constraint of rules, so that we don't become bad if we go out. I don't know if the show makers realize this, but to me it felt like, they showed that religion won over science in the end. I am not going into that debate but Lost's end might look like 'Good won over Evil', but the hidden meaning was 'Religion won over everything'.

I have written quite a lot which proves how much I was interested in the show and I wish to see it again. I want to buy the blurays of all lost seasons so that I can see it all over again in HD. That will be a treat to myself. Let me know what you think about the show.
