Ready to Get Lost

In less than two weeks, the two-hour premiere of the final season of Lost (the best show ever made) begins. To say I'm excited about this would be a grand understatement. This show has completely taken over my brain for a really, really long time now. I could probably write a blog entry with my Lost theories every day and not stop for a year. How freakin' pathetic is that? I promise, I won't bore you with that. But right now, I just have to express how happy I am that my favorite show is about to start again.

For those of you who have not gotten "Lost" yet, you might wonder why this show seems to drive people insane. I have watched five seasons (more than once!) of this show, and I still don't know what is going on. But the writers are amazing. They are creating this rich story with intersecting plot lines, themes, characters, etc. They are relentless in their story details. Some small thing from season one will show up again in season five, just as it was meant to. Nothing is an accident.

Lost has led me to learn more about the Bible, Egyptian mythology, various books, music and the process of writing. It keeps me guessing and gets my wheels turning, even in between seasons. It is addictive, engrossing, pure genius! And soon I will melt into its beautiful world again for 16 more glorious weeks! Don't look for me, because I will officially be Lost.
