LOST

Do you know "LOST"? This is American tv drama. It is very interesting for me.I won't argue with all the cynics and critics who say that the show is unveiling slowly. I won't even argue the fact that the story is becoming complex and twisted. But what everyone fails to realize is THAT'S THE DARN POINT!!
Unfortunately these days, our dim-witted society is more entertained with mindless programming that does not require them to think, analyze, and question. All the popular shows these days (ala the American Idols and Flavor of Loves) involve no story, no character development, and no deeper messages. Granted, these shows are entertaining and are a genre of their own, but it’s sad that America does not have the patience nor the intelligence for anything more.
LOST is one of those shows that relies on its suspense and the withholding of information and certain plot lines; it has been from the beginning! It’s funny that all those people who claim to have loved it from season 1 just started to realize this. True, it is perplexing and multi-leveled but the fun is in the “not-knowing.” The mystery is one of the main driving forces of the show (others being characterization and allegories). The point of the show is to confuse us sometimes and to get us to ask questions and to start putting the pieces together. It requires some patience, brainwork and some good memory which the standard US audience does not have. That being said, if you can’t handle or comprehend it anymore then give your feeble brains a rest. Go watch something predictable, simple, and immediately satisfying. I would suggest to go read a book, but the particular people I’m speaking to probably don’t do that either.For everyone else, keep thinking, keep analyzing and keep watching. Help quality television stay on the air before everything becomes monotonous and repetitive. And most importantly, enjoy the ride!!
