You know, I thought I would dislike "Lost" because of what I saw as gimmicks.... the unseen "monster", etc....(sorry Noel).
When I had first heard about the show, I thought "What a great idea"... imagine a group of people stranded on an island. (with writing, not a reality show). How will they learn to iron out differences? How will they use their strengths? How will they deal with the loss of others? What a great opportunity for deep drama!"
Then I heard about the "unseen monster, the weird "happenings" and I thought "They blew it. As usual, they had to dangle shiney trinkets in the American Audiences' eyes. What a shame; they had a good basic plot to deal with the human condition and they had to sweeten it."
But, I admit, I'm hooked too.
The series better not just "end" though (ala "Boston Public", another past guilty pleasure) without some damn answers!
