I’m LOST.
I didn’t immediately get into LOST because one of my rules is: “Don’t believe the hype…”
However, I was slowly drawn in by the beauty of the characters (physical and human) and slowly became hooked as the story slowly weaved its way through the jungle. At stages, some of the earlier series looked like they it was going to turn into a straightforward horror / monster / weird stuff story, but Season Four has taken things to a new level by revealing just enough confirm that we’re not being played with, without ever quite revealing the full picture. This is one of the few programmes that I have watched that gets better as time goes on.
I understand that some people are complaining about the price of purchasing it on iTunes, but the convenience that this provides means that it represents great value for money. When you’re stuck in an airport in the middle of Siberia, and it is -17 degrees outside, the ability to watch your favourite programme on your iPhone to kill a few tedious hours makes it almost priceless. I’d pay £1.89 to make each hour fly by all day long!
No, my only concern is the unfeasible beauty of all of the female characters. If ever I was on a plane with ‘Kate’, I would want it to crash on a desert island in the hope that we would be the only survivor and that we wouldn’t ever be rescued.
This is an outstanding series and I await each new episode with the same level anticipation that I had as a child waiting for Santa on Christmas Eve, before I realised that Santa was actually my father, fuelled-up on Eggnog.
This is powerful, intelligent story-telling, beautifully shot and written and it injects a healthy dose of science-fiction and philosophy into a glamorous setting for those clever enough to notice and disciplined enough not to be distracted by the eye-candy. This is classic television and I defy anyone who watches two episodes not to be ‘LOST’ in it themselves.
