Post #16 ...and Found

I have been a fan of the television show, LOST, since the very first episode. I never miss an episode, going so far as to host a LOST-night at our house every Wednesday. I am a pretty big LOST-nerd.

Why do I love this show so much? It's a survival story, it's sci-fi. It's drama, it's romance. It's action, it's comedy. The one aspect of the show that I love so much is that it is made up of layers.

Someone can watch it just for the action or drama. That's layer one.
Another person can watch it for the religious or mythological undertones: layer two.
Someone else might be drawn to the literary, philosophic, or scientific references: layer 3. And the list goes on.

I have heard some people complain that the show is hard to follow. It can be difficult, if you are watching it out of order, or if you miss episodes. But once you get into it, it gets into you.

I can't wait for Wednesday night, when we get the premiere of Season 5. I am sure there will be twists and turns, new revelations, and hopefully answers to unresolved questions.

If you have not watched the show and think you might start, get the DVD's and start with the first season. I imagine you will not be disappointed.
