As a personal tribute for the end of my favorite series, I decided to write a small post explaining why I think LOST is the best series of all times and it will be hardly beaten by other.
Here my 3 reasons:
1. Extraordinary plot and characters: The plot was so good that at the moment you saw it you couldn’t stop watching and you carved for more. I mean, a group of people lost on an island where amazing things happened (healings, whispers, polar bears) is definitely attractive. But the best of all was, that unlike other series, we got to know the characters through an unconventional way, which let us understand why they reacted the way they reacted on different situations, (The flashbacks were great!), and it made us fall in love with them, little by little, even though we knew their nastiest secrets and their human flaws, (even though they con, murder, lie or torture).
2. Is a series that makes you THINK!: LOST is not the typical series where everything is showed to the viewer. Nooo, LOST is a series that when you were pretty sure that something was black it turned out to be white, it was a series that was full of details so you had to pay attention, it was full of riddles that you wanted to decipher, it had misteries that once the episode was over, kept you thinking about what they meant or how was that even possible.
3. The virtual community: LOST managed to develop what no other series has done, a HUGE virtual community, where from all around the globe we gathered together on blogs or on different social networks, to share our thoughts, our theories and wait together for the next episode or sometimes, the next season. We even got to have our ownLOST wiki, with maps of the island and the meaning of LOST terms.
LOST was the only series in which fans didn’t wait until the local channels transmitted the episodes, but they downloaded the episode a day after its transmition on USA, to see it as soon as possible. Great games were also launched in between each season, so we could stay busy while waiting, and look for clues of what was going to happen next season.
Finally all I can say is that I will really miss LOST and everything that it meant.
Can you think of other reasons? Leave your comments.
