Introduction

It’s been called everything from “the most brilliant TV show ever made” to “TV’s greatest Ponzi scheme.” So what exactly is the huge deal about “Lost?” Why does it generate such passionate responses from both fans and critics of the show? What makes it different from any other good TV show? During the years that “Lost” has been on, I have had several friends who were fans of the show, and I would always play audience to their glowing praise or pissed off rants about the most recent episode. With all the hype surrounding the series finale, I decided that anything that causes this much hype has got to be worth checking out, if only for the sake of saying I’ve seen it. So, my mom and I have started watching the show from the beginning, and I’ve got a lot to say about it already. I hope that my writing about it may inspire other “Lost” virgins to give the show a try. So join me as I embark on a journey of epic proportions…well maybe not “epic proportions,” but a whole lot of fun, at least!
