4 days, 8 questions, 15, 16, 23, 42

There are only 4 more days until my most anticipated day of 2010… That’s right, the Lost premier. I just finished my 2 month marathon of the first 5 seasons, and cannot wait until Tuesday. I hope my professors are prepared for me to be unprepared come Wednesday, A girl has got to have her priorities you know.

In preperation for the upcoming season I have prepaired my list of questions I want answered along with the rest of the interents. Here it goes:

  • Why was Charles Widmore on the Island, and why do he and Ben hate each other so much?
  • How come Richard Alpert doesn’t age?
  • Who made Jacob God?
  • What was Claire’s role in all of this? Why did she stay on the Island with Christian Shepard? On that note, is Shepard dead or alive? Is he really there?
  • Speaking of dead people, is John the dead guy in the casket, or the alive guy under the foot?
  • What the hell is the smoke monster?
  • Is there any actual relation to ancient Egypt?
  • Can we change the future…?

I could come up with so many more questions, such as all of the ones in the above song (completely awesome), but the title of the post seemed catchier with the 8 questions thing. I just wish I had the motivation to come up with the 15, 16, 23, and 42 things, but I don’t.

February 2nd can’t come soon enough

My sister may want to think that I am excited for February 2nd because it is her birthday, but she would be wrong. February 2nd is the premier date for Lost season 6. The final season. I said from the beginning that Lost would need to set an end date, and finish it. As sad as I will be for Lost to be off the air, it is much better this way.

Alias was the first show I was religiously attached to, and, without question, it went on too long. The story got muddled, the writing got worse, and by the end of the series, the only reason I was still watching was because, maybe, just maybe, J.J. would throw an awesome ending on it that would make season 5 worth it. It wasn’t. So yes, I was very glad a few years ago, when I heard that they had set an end date for Lost. The writers know exactly what questions they have, and what they have to answer and accomplish in the final season.

I have started re-watching the entire series. I watched season 1 last week, finished up yesterday afternoon, and now I’m on s.2 e.7 (what happened to the tail section of the plane for the first 48 days). I never really realized how little actually happened in season 1. It is amazing how the writers created such a brilliant show composed almost entirely of character development; very little of the over arching plot. We didn’t even know the Dharma Initiative existed. The first 3 episodes of season 2 are chalk full of questions, that is where the story of Lost really started. It is awesome to ride the crazy ass roller coaster that is Lost again. It has been years since I have watched these episodes, but I wanted to be entirely prepared come February. Also, I took a Lost trivia quiz, and failed miserably, I was very disappointed in myself.

I’m not going to re-hash all the challenges that face the writers with season 6, only say that I cannot wait to experience it.
