What a great ride! LOST came to an end last night but my brain is still processing—which is exactly the kind of ending I wanted. In this way, it hasn’t actually ended. Because LOST has been so much more than just the series. It has fostered pockets of communities that allow viewers to participate at whatever depth they prefer.
All along we’ve yearned for answers—but not as spoilers. That would ruin the fun of trying to figure things out on our own. In an age when Hollywood output is so formulaic, that the writers could consistently outwit the audience at every turn is quite a feat. The sheer volume of blog entries and online discussions generated within the past 24 hours is testimony to the impact of the series. Certainly my musings would not be missed if I did not add my two cents but processing my thoughts at this time is cathartic. So, fair readers (I hope there are more than one of you out there), please grant me this indulgence.
