Welp, there it went. Six years of my life devoted to an amazing show that kept me at the edge of my seat, biting my nails off during every episode and now it's all over.
I'm not sure how to feel. Sure, you might say, "Jaded, it's a TV show. STFU and get over it." Well, imagine YOUR favorite TV show ends, or they cancel basketball, or your favorite musician dies. Wouldn't YOU be feeling some kind of way?
I honestly want to applaud the writers for how they handled the story from beginning to end. I was so afraid of getting a cookie-cutter ending, all wrapped up in a bow, all questions answered, etc, etc. They found a way to conclude the story of how these strangers became a part of each others lives in what I considered to be a very innovative way.
The entire sixth season I watched, wondering why we were getting two stories at once. Why the alternate universe storyline? I admit at being highly suspect and frustrated. But the last episode was really good at bringing the show to a close. (I'm not going to go into details or spoilers; if you want to know what happened log onto ABC.com and watch for yourself or read the episode recap on Television Without Pity.)
I know many people who gave up on LOST a while ago, tired of all the cryptic episodes and rotating cast of backup characters. But I knew... I knew it would all pay off in the end. Please trust that I will be purchasing the entire box set of this soon-to-be classic TV series, and it will sit on the shelf right next to me box set of Sex and the City and Buffy, The Vampire Slayer.
