A letter to "Lost" from a mere simpleton....


Dear Lost,
Thank you. Thank you for your twists and turns, for your lovable characters (and sometimes hateable characters but their revealed background stories always made them lovable in the end), and the moments that made me go "Ohh snap!" and "Oh no they didn't!" (Yes, sometimes I turned into a typical horror movie-goer when I watched you.) Never before has a television series made me stay up at night thinking about life, alternate realities, sideways realites, mythology, religion, physics, history, and even classic literature. Thank you for your heartfelt messages and your ever so familiar confusion. It's kind of sad that without you, everything on television is now just mindless entertainment. (Although there's nothing wrong with that. Bring it on, Desperate Housewives season 7!) I learned to accept the fact that the more questions you answered, the more questions I had. Not everything has a straight answer and not everything NEEDS to be answered. I feel very sorry for the people that gave up on you or never took the chance to get to know you. Although you ended in one of my expected theories, you did it in a way I never thought of. I love you and I'll miss you. I will honor your memory by watching Season 1 this week. (Thanks to your buddy, Netflix!)
Love,
Steeny =)
