I finally finished watching all 6 seasons of "Lost" today. The final episode, which generated fan complaints and dissatisfaction, was actually lovely. I enjoyed it, in spite of the tears I shed while watching. Of course, there are multiple questions in the so-called mythology of the series that were left unanswered, which was mildly frustrating. There were things I didn't understand that never got
Granted, I didn't dedicate 6 years of viewing to the show, like fans who watched it during its run did, and maybe that contributed to the feeling that I'm just glad to be finished with it, rather than feeling disappointed that the end didn't explain everything.
I do think the show didn't really need 6 seasons to tell its story. I think 4 or 5 would have been sufficient...
I did find myself very attached to these characters, Desmond, Charlie, Hurley and Sawyer in particular. Good stuff...
I don't want to say too much because I know that future fans would probably not appreciate me spoiling any of the fun, and there are a lot of mysteries and secrets to enjoy. If you haven't watched it, give it a look! It's on Netflix streaming, or your local library might have the DVDs for your enjoyment. Just be careful, because if you like it as well as I did, you'll have a hard time doing much else besides watching TV.
Now it's time to catch up on my TV shows, movies and (especially) books!!
