After a 13 week hiatus, Lost has returned. And even though it's ratings are continually falling, I still find myself captivated by it from 9 until 10 p.m. every Wednesday night.
This past week, an episode entirely hyped up by ABC, was said to answer many of the viewers questions. After an hour of intriguing story, twists, turns, and a couple of more questions, the answers were provided. As in Lost tradition, the answers weren't fully developed and didn't come close to satisfying my need for knowledge.
While the critics, professional and not-so professional alike, have varying opinions, the reviews all end up with the same complaint: no answers. I for one love that aspect of the show. Withholding answers to the most important questions, only giving me minimal amounts of information at a time, and keeping the past secrets of the characters somewhat hidden are part of what keeps the mystery of the show alive.
For those who don't know, the idea behind "Lost" is to tell the story of a plane (Flight 815) which has crashed on an island on it's way to Los Angeles from Sydney, Australia. Each show highlights one character and shows the viewers parts of their past through various flashbacks interlaced throughout the story of what's going on on the island. The specific island that they've crashed on is inhabited by the so called "Others." The rest of the story, you'll have to see for yourself.
