So, I think only Mata and I are the only vocal readers of Factpile who watched the show. I had always had my own thoughts on the fate of the island and everything it entails, and for what the series provided, I think it did a great job of wrapping things up from a character’s perspective.

I have to say, of the possible outcomes of an ending, I thought it was a 9/10. It’s much better than some other shows have had (X-Files immediately comes to mind) and there was a sense of closure that some series don’t often get, but it’s something we all crave in some form or another.

But, this little write up is not about the show itself. Instead, I think LOST has earned a place in history from a story-telling and ability to play along with the fans through “leaked” sites or planting clues in various blogs or other seemingly random places where the writers knew anxious followers would find them.

LOST showed that a “cult” following could happen in prime-time, not just on the Syfy channel. It’s our generation’s “Twilight Zone” and also showed the we like to have our shows run without repeats sprinkled throughout the season. For a show like LOST, those times they did have the repeat episodes, it really seemed to throw off the build up of the storyline.

The show also covered the basics in a very straight forward manner. Good Vs Evil. Fate Vs Destiny. Redemption.

The series had a high production value even in the simple things like the musical score to help set the mood of the scenes, the great writing and the acting as well.

LOST has risen the bar for episodic television and will become known as a classic as time continues it’s non-stop flow of moving forward.

I have to admit that I don’t watch a ton of TV, but was glad I found this show when it all started. so, as they would say on the island: “What happened, happened.”

Namaste.

…And here we have another timely review of another recap blog, except this one is for a little show named LOST. I’ve been a reader of this site for the past few years and in my opinion, it’s simply the best spoiler free site I’ve stumbled across when it comes to all things regarding the show. This is another site that I visit shortly after the show airs.

You had to know this was coming with the final season of Lost airing tonight in the States. While I have to admit that it took me a bit of time to get into Lost, it really has some great story telling elements that can take you down paths you weren’t expecting.

X-Files on the other hand was a mythology that was built up over time with little peaks into the inner workings of the entire story. The unfortunate thing about the X-Files is how long the series ran. As soon as Moulder was gone, the show was permanently damaged.

I have to say that I did like the way X-Files ended, but will we be able to do the same for the castaways of Lost?

Which show do you think is better?

With the final season of Lost airing soon, expect to see a few more matches with some characters from the show. In the meantime, both of these shows are from the same creator, JJ Abrams, so there are similar occurrences that happen in each franchise.

Which show do you think is better?

How would Gotham be different?
How would the “Losties” deal with Joker?
What other issues would arise?

While in a hand-to-hand combat sitch, Ben may only last a few rounds, given time to plan for an attack, MC would find himself against a tricky opponent.

With all the underhanded methods that Ben would employ to try and fake out MC, how would this match end?
