best writing on television

the abc show "lost" is probably the best written television series to ever come across network airwaves, imo. the layers upon layers of mythology, philosophy, ethics, faith, science, social roles, and plot twists leave nothing to be desired, except more episodes and more answers. i've been saying for quite some time now that in the future we'll see college courses being taught on the literary analysis of lost (they already have courses analyzing star wars, so it's not that big of a leap).

any blog post that deals with specifics of lost episodes (esp anything from the current season) i'll be sure to precede with a spoiler alert for those who are catching up. but i might, from time to time, speak about the show in a non-specific capacity, which i will do without any spoiler alert of any kind.

until recently, i had no one to discuss lost with but strangers from cyber-space. one of my brothers watches it, but he lives in kc and i don't get much face-to-face time with him. but i'm happy to say that my mom, with influence from myself and her entire side of the family, has become addicted to the show as well, so i finally have someone with whom i can share my theories! my dad jokes that it is an addiction and we should all be going to L.A. (lost anonymous).

so if any of you have anything lost related that you'd like to discuss, i'd love to get into it with you. i'd also like to post a link to a lost fansite that i've found extremely interesting. it's some guy's take on what the show is really all about. i'm not 100% sure i agree with it, but it puts a new perspective on the show regardless of whether it's true or not. and it's just a thorough compilation of all things lost. click here
