re: Just finished Lost

I feel like there's a big difference in experience between binge watching LOST now and watching it when it originally aired.

Back then you had to wait a full year between seasons waiting for answers to all the loose ends and unresolved plot lines, some of which never came.

Also LOST was very much a "water cooler" show where every episode people discussed theories about what was happening and analyzed every little detail to find clues about what would happen next or what the endgame would be.

For a show that was supposed to be about how certain things happen for a reason and the interconnectedness of the world, it certainly felt at times towards the end that they were making stuff up as they went.

Ultimately I enjoyed it because of the characters and "the journey" but it was perhaps a bit more ambitious than it could ever deliver in terms of storytelling.
