Lost in Progress

I went to this store in Spencers to get all the seasons of desperate housewives last month but somehow was induced to buy the seasons DVDs of Lost. Started watching on a Sunday afternoon and finished it by the next Saturday (excluding office hours and sleep hours). Phew! How did I miss this show all the time! All these years. In a way its good that I watched them back to back because the suspense was too good to hold on to. :)

So what is it about this whole show that it was so interesting? For me it was Sawyer all the way!!!! :) But then seriously if I think from a viewer's perspective:

1. The idea of being on a place cut off from the rest of the world
2. The idea of being on a long term camping trip
3. More or less starting your life all over again in Stone Age
4. The idea i most loved was the hatch life to push a button every two hours. I think that is the best job in the world.
5. And Sawyer's one liners :)

Added to this were the usual love triangles, and drama of each character's life which was finely executed.

Of course the part of confusing Dharma initiative, and the others was where the show lost its charm. And the polar bear (season 1), Charles widmore and the temple of doom (season 5) were stupid themes. And the worst was Jacob and the man in black (Season 6)!!! I mean cmon … What the hell! Too much of imagination… Hands down Season 6 was the worst season of all and of course Season 1 was the best of all. The writers should have known when to stop their overflowing imagination.

I would say that they could have ended it gracefully on Season 4 itself...But then its ok. I enjoyed 2 more seasons of Sawyer :)
