Lost....last season...watching it now on Star World

Many years ago, while still in college, I got to know about the television series LOST. Apparently, the first season had finished airing in the US and he had downloaded the episodes. And I got hooked. It gave a whole new interpretation of the phrase:stranded on an island. I loved the fact that the story was happening in present time, and despite all the advancements in technology, the survivors were stuck with no outside help. I guessed that the whole saga would last 2 seasons at most, because soon they would run out of ideas, and help would come from outside.

 

 

Now I am watching the last season of the saga on star world. Somewhere in between , the show lost its focus. There are more questions still waiting to be answered. Looots of extra characters came in from nowhere . And loads of them disappeared. Its not as hooking as the first season was. My favorite character was Charlie, the character played by Dominic Monaghan. I loved his background and how he came to the island. And till date, the story of his death is the one that hurt me most on the show. The episode “Greatest Hits” is my favourite. Charlie writes down the greatest moments of his life, when he realizes that his death is near. There are moments which seem trivial to others, but for Charlie, it has changed something in his life.

 

If I make a list of my top 5 greatest moments..I dunno what would turn up. Maybe the first time I rode my cycle ? When my sister was born ? When I landed and lost my first job ? Definitely the day I finally got rid of college.

 

 

Anyway, I don’t think I will take anything else from LOST except this idea of Greatest Hits.
