Farewell LOST

The series finale of my LOST is starting, but I want to wait about 30 minutes to watch so I can do so without commercials, so in the meantime, I think I’ll blog a few thoughts about the past seven years of my favorite show:

• Most heartfelt moment:The Desmond and Penny phone call on Christmas Eve.  Runner up, Jin joining the raft crew cause he feels he doesn’t deserve to be with Sun
• Best turnaround:Season three, which started off terrible with Jack, Kate and Sawyer captured and ended brilliantly with contacting the freighter and the introduction of flash forwards
• Most shocking twist:The switching from flashbacks to flash-forwards
• Most confusing Islanders:(Three-way tie) The Others who appeared to be a rag-tag group of lost boys but turned out to be a commune of average joes.  The Dharma Initiative that appeared to be brilliant scientists but also turned out to be a commune of average joes and the Monster that appeared to be a dinosaur and turned out to be ticking smoke.
• Most frustrating writing slip-up:The inconsistencies of who can travel on and off the island, like when Christian Shepherd visited Jack in his hospital
• Best of a bad situation:Taking our least favorite characters (Nikki and Paulo) and burying them alive.
• Worst of a bad situation:Killing off the characters Ana Lucia and Libby because the actors got a DUI on Oahu.
• Worst episode to date:The back story of Jack getting a tattoo in Thailand
• Best episode to date:The Not Penny’s Boat episode that ended Season three.

That’s enough for now if I think of any more I’ll amend later. Besides, all this could change tonight (especially the best or worst episode ever). Happy LOSTing.
