Still Lost in Lost
We started watching the old
TV series Lost this summer on Hulu but when we got
tired of the ads, (even on the pay version, Hulu Plus) we
switched to Netflix. Even though it was a lot better without
the noisy ads, Carol gave up after we had watched the first season's
25 episodes. She's not as much a science fiction, supernatural fan as
I am, so I started watching two or three episodes at a time in the
dim confines of the Den, or Computer Room, or as I like to think of
it, as my Bat Cave.
I enjoy the good acting,
writing and jungle scenery, and I became determined to watch every
one of the 121 episodes. It actually goes pretty fast watching
without ads.
The main characters,
survivors of a plane crash on a jungle island, whose lives are
intertwined in flashbacks, flash forwards and flash sideways, keep
you guessing as to who are the good guys and who are the baddies. To
further complicate things, time travel and alternate universes abound
in the story line. Just when I think I've figured it out a little
bit, the writers throw me a curve and destroy my theories. I have
thought that they could all be in Purgatory, waiting to be judged for
their past sins, or they could already be in Hell. Maybe I'll find
out when I watch the last episode. Right now I'm up to season 6, (the
last one) and I only have a dozen episodes to go.
What will I ever do when
it's over! I may have to come out of the Bat Cave!
