'LOST''s Adventure Doesn't End with the Finale

Ok, this will be the last LOST post on this blog day that was mostly dedicated to reactions to the finale.  Interesting conclusion from the Books and Culture blog:

LOST was truly great. Throughout its six-year run, the show's ambitious storyline was not only groundbreaking, but transcendent.  The scope of the show, the production budget, the extensive and diverse cast, the commitment to character development, and cult-like obsession it evoked from its fans—these are elements that are unlikely to be reproduced by another network television show.  

So what if we never learned all the answers? We don't fully understand the significance of "the numbers." We don't know why Claire's child was not supposed to be "raised by another." Many details about the island's history, from the hieroglyphics to the Dharma Initiative's origins to the infertility issues, will remain shrouded. But the story presented to us was, if not perfect, certainly sensational. From the moment when Jack's eye opened to the moment when it closed, LOST has been one of the most entertaining and compelling stories ever told.

As for all the mysteries that remain, consider them incentive to go back to the beginning and start watching again. Because we're not going to find anything on television as worthy of our time. Not anymore.
