I feel Lost without Lost

Sunday was a day of love and loss. A show I love dearly was finally gone. I don't know why we as people get so devoted to shows and have such a hard time letting them go, but I definitely do. I know people bash on TV and there is a significant amount to bash on, but I've always been an advocate. It's our form of entertainment. Times before us had plays. Not too long ago it was only one movie released a month so it better be good! Now we have TV. And TV has definitely evolved since the early days. I feel that although some reflect a very easily amused population some still have heart and gusto, still have the brevity of the early forms of theater. Lost is a great example of that. It has mythology, spirituality, philosophy, psychology, physics, science, and much more. The Lost finale was an end to a fantastic show. It was not created to please everyone and we won't understand why certain things were the way they were. But I respect and admire that. Especially after the finale. The creators said it was to be left up to your own beliefs to interpret the ending, and really the show. I'm excited to re-watch that finale over and over again, and really the show. I feel it'll be a show where something will be new and revealed to you everytime. Especially now that we somewhat know the ending, we can see how things fit together the way they did. I know some people were disappointed at times but I don't think I ever was (even that horrible Nikki/Paolo episode had to be there to get rid of the biggest mistake the creators made). I loved learning about the island, the mythology, the history, the power and grip it had on so many people. I loved seeing the Dharma people and was intrigued about how they ended up there and what their purpose was and how did it seemed to twist from it's original purpose. I loved the sideways world which was a season long bow on a package. Because at the end of a show we care about, we want closure. We want to know that all our characters end up happy and end up where they should be. We don't want it to be revealed that it was all fake that all the devotion was someone's imagination's imagination.
Some people may think Lost was very discombobulated. It had the element of pure human survival, the mysteries of the island, it had the Dharma people, the hostiles, the time travel, the sideways world, and it had the past world that brought all our characters to this island. Maybe people think it's not connected, but I do somehow. Even if I don't completely understand how or why this had to happen or that had to happen. I loved Lost. And I'll miss it.
All I could do was take a picture of sadness that is the loss of Lost. It's staged but I didn't want to be fumbling with a camera at the end of the show because I just wanted to enjoy it. So here it is...our sad Lost faces...
We'll miss you Lost!
