ABC's Lost Season Finale - Island Secret's Revealed
Thursday, May 26, 2005
ABC's series LOST had it's season finale last night. I've become a big fan of the show and the finale did not disappoint. In typical LOST fashion one island mystery was explained another puzzle was revealed. The 'others' were finally shown, as was the inside of the hatch Locke had been obsessing over. If you missed it check the episode guide at LOST ABC web site.
There has been plenty of speculation as what the mysteries of the island hold for LOST's survivors, and what their presence there really means. The show really didn't let on to any deeper meaning to the crash until the last few episodes of the season. The Locke character (played by Terry O'Quinn) has really driven the philosophical story line as to why they are there. I've heard people say the survivors are all actually dead and the island is a form of purgatory where their fate in the afterlife will be decided. And I guess if they are truly LOST for good and never get off the island then that's exactly what it may serve as - depending on your beliefs of course. But the concept of fate and their ultimate destiny being wrapped around their experience on the island is a key piece to the puzzle now. There is actually a lot to think about and everyone can take something different from the survivor's island experience. Not many TV shows provide inspiration for this much thought these days.
The show has been compared the David Lynch cult classic Twin Peaks. And it's got some paranormal similarities. I was a big Twin Peaks fan, but I find myself a lot more interested in LOST than I ever was David Lynch's strange world. I think the characters in LOST are more interesting. The writers have done a fantastic job of weaving in flash backs to their lives so that you can discover how they all came to be together.
If you haven't checked out the show set up your TiVO for the summer reruns. You really need to see it from the beginning. Evangeline Lilly as Kate is a site to behold. And Matthew Fox as Jack is a big draw for the ladies. It's a good show that has a lot of great potential.
