Lost. The end

The epic night of the series finale of Lost started at 6pm with a 2 hour retrospect. Watching that, made me go back and remember the times I watched Lost over the years.

It was summer of 2005, I was working as a manager at a movie theater. Back then i really didn't watch much TV. I would watch nothing but movies. Some of the employees where talking about a show Lost, and how awesome it was. I read up on it and liked the premise of it. So I waited to get into it when the entire first season came out on DVD. When it finally was released in early September, i rushed over to my local Walmart and purchased it. 15 minutes into the first episode I knew this was something I've never seen before. I was hooked. I think i watched 10 episodes that day. I wanted to finish the first season since the second was starting a week or two later. By the time I got to the end of season1, I wanted more. I never missed an episode since. And if I did, I would catch the episode online. This show has been a 5 year roller coaster ride. And I loved every minute of it, even though a lot of questions and the mysteries weren't really answered till much later into the series.

Now comes the finale we've all been waiting for. The end of one of the most popular television series of all time. This finale will answer the ultimate question. "What will happen at the end?"

The final episode ran for two and a half hours. Known for it's flash backs, and in season 3 fooled the viewers by thinking the show was using it's normal formula of flashbacks. But turning around and did "flash forwards" So the final season introduced a "Sideways" timeline. Where the plane crash never happened and the characters made it to Los Angeles. and when it finally came down to the final episode, I thought i had everything figured out. But it wasn't until the final 15 minutes where the series threw me a curve ball. And when LOST tittle card came on the screen, I was left confused for a bit, a little angry. But once I thought about it a little more, I thought it was a brilliant way to end the show.

I'm going to really miss this show. All the mysteries and unanswered questions it threw at us every week, and all the great characters that came and gone. The Jimmy Kimmel special they did after, that was 100% Lost. They brought on most of the characters interviewed then as a group.

All in all it was a great night.
