Lost The Plot! – WTF!

I wonder who else began watching Lost all those years ago, and at first thought ‘Wow, this is ace!’, then later it started to get weirder, and weirder and even weirder. I watched Season One, then later Season Two, hoping to find answers to all those questions raised in the first season – but instead found ourselves being bombarded with even more questions, and as the season dragged on, found myself starting to get very bored.

By the time season Three came about I started to think the writers had completely Lost the Plot over Lost. I bet I wasn’t alone there. I mean, if anyone found Battlestar Galactica a bit weird from time to time, this was a complete mind f*** compared to that! If Battlestar’s weirdness was 8 on a scale of 1 to 10, then Lost smashed that scale and set it to 100. Now I’m starting to wonder if I’m losing the plot writing this post.. No, No, Let’s get back on track…

Today I watched an ABC Special, Called Lost – The story so far.. It was 5 seasons of Lost condensed into 45 minutes. Which is totally cool with me, that way I can find out what happened without watching hundreds of hours of mind numbing, totally freaky television.  So, what did I learn watching 5 seasons of Lost in 45 minutes.. Well, to summarize, at the end of the show.. I said one word (or three – depending on how you look at it).. I said.. “WTF!!!!!”

OK, Here goes.. Time Travel, 2007, 1977, the 1950′s.. Island Teleporting itself through time and space (The whole Island is like a massive Hiro Nakamura), with a turn of wheel. Nuclear bombs going off, People coming and going from the Island, Dead people coming back alive, and then finding out they aren’t who they are appear to be. Half a plane crashing in 2007 and the other half in 1977.. Do I need to go on.. I reckon I’ve not covered 5% of all the cr*p that went on! OMG… Anyway.. I am interested in ‘what happens next’, but I can easily wait for Season 6, it’s final season, to finish and then read about it on Wikipedia.

All in all, if at one point you were ‘into’ Lost, but like me lost intrest, then I would recommend watching this ‘condensed’ version, if nothing else but to see how totally lost the plot really did get. And then if you decide to watch season 6, well, then you’re probably going to be in for another 18 episodes of questions – with maybe half an hour of answers at the end hehe.
