Lost in Lost

With the season 5 premier of the television show Lost, I figured I'd write a little bit about the show. I'm late to the draw when it comes to Lost. I only got into it within the last few months, which is about four and a half years after the show's premier. My cousins talked about how good it was right when it came out, but for whatever reason, I didn't start watching it. I do remember seeing a few of the initial season 3 episodes two summers ago though. The problem was that Lost has such complex story lines and character developments, that those episodes were so out of context that I didn't grasp much of it. Lost isn't a show like Seinfeld or Entourage where you can watch it whenever and easily enjoy and understand it.

Lost is one of the best television shows I have ever seen. It is extremely well written, well acted, and has amazing twists and turns. The cinematography is absolutely fantastic as well. The show is filmed in Hawaii, so whether you see shots of the jungle or the beach your eyes are having a party.

Now, the majority of the characters are great. There are a few characters who are annoying, but to my surprise they have had redeeming qualities. I love how the cast is not only diverse, but have a wide range of personalities and traits. I enjoy the power struggle between Jack and Locke, and also the tough guy antics of Sayid and Sawyer. The flashbacks chronicling the back stories are also extremely well done. I don't want to give much of any of the plots away, as this show is built on twists. It's an absolutely amazing show, one of the best in years, and I highly recommend it.

As I write this, I'm watching through the third season, trying to get up to date before the season 5 premier. I haven't disliked any of the seasons, and I'm throughrouly enjoying the third so far. I can't say enough good things about this show. I have to thank my friends, Matt, Nick, Ryan, Cindy, and Rita for getting me into this great show. Lost is amazing...and I'm "Lost" in it haha.
