Lost

Oh, my, 6 years....

You know what the finale of LOST felt like to me? It reminded me of doing a report paper in school - either me or one of my kids. The assignment was given months and months ahead of time, and a little work, and good work, was done at little intervals. Then all of a sudden the project was due, and all the detailed work had to be summed up in a very short time. That's how LOST felt to me. Like a cop-out.

The biggest question to me, and its a stupid one, really, is, WHAT was that POLAR BEAR doing on the island? Along with a whole bunch of unanswered questions, like what happened to the orphaned baby, and wasn't there some other kid, or maybe that kid was imaginary.


But part that I never ever could grasp, maybe because I LIVE on an island, is the CAVES, the underground stuff. You can't have that stuff on an island. I live 350 feet above sea level, on an island right next to the one where that was filmed. And if I dig a hole in my yard big enough to plant a tree, it will fill up with WATER. So, how in the world where there all those Hearst Mansion like places underground, as well as the HATCH, when that is feasibly impossible.

Oh, I guess the whole thing was feasibly impossible. Time travel, backward in time, forwards in time and sideways in time. I'm just glad its done, and it doesn't even seem to make much difference that I missed almost the entire season last year. I will say, that from the first show, I thought they were all dead. But I guess we're supposed to think they are not lost now? They were all smiling. I don't know. I'm lost. I like Survivor better.


I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Oh and I’m just waiting ‘til the shine wears off


You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn’t mean you’ve won
‘Cause a long may come
A bigger one
