The two hour season premiere of Lost is gonna air on January 31st, and even though I’m a pretty devoted Lost fan, it can still be difficult to keep track of all the details and subplots that have taken place over the last three seasons. And inevitably, while watching every episode, my family and I always have to pause it because one of us is confused and needs something reexplained. We love the show and all; it’s just a fact of life that sometimes you get a little lost while watching Lost. (It’s truly convenient that they named it that…)
Anyway, I was wandering around the Internet today, killing time, watching videos. I saw this great video of some kid with a funky name beatboxing by remixing video clips of himself. That was fun, and very enlightening (hehe), but then I stumbled across something pretty dang cool.
It’s a complete recap of the first three seasons of lost, including all of those tricky little subplots and details, all in eight minutes and 15 seconds. (Hehe… it’s like flight 815… get it?) Anyway, if you’re a fellow lost Lost fan, you should definitely check it out. And even if you aren’t all that lost, it’s still handy, since it’s been a while since the last season and none of us are perfect (I’m usually pretty good at keeping all those details straight, but sure enough, there were things I’d forgotten too.)
So check it out! You won’t regret it. You might even want to watch it again on the afternoon of January 31st, just so you won’t have to interrupt the sure-to-be exciting pace of the season premiere, just so you can get your questions answered. Preparedness, people! 🙂
Pfffft, forget that. I’m a “Heroes” man. It’s like “Lost” with superpowers! (Not to mention it actually offers resolutions to the riddles & subplots.)
I used to watch Heroes… but I found it too predictable and disappointing. Anyone geeky enough to know anything about comic books can tell exactly where each character’s super powers came from, and what will generally happen to those characters. It’s rather ridiculous. Nikki is like Jean Gray/Phoenix, the Cheerleader is like Wolverine but without the cool Canadianess, and so on and so forth. (And now you know I’m a total nerd, hehe.) It’s just a bit… lazy of the writers. And I can’t stand lazy writers. They get paid too much to be that lazy.
And besides, Lost does resolve things, it just takes patience and a bit more brain power than most other shows ask of their audience. I find that rather refreshing in our MTV-ridden society. It’s not all that surprising that so many people expect easy to understand immediate answers, but it’s still rather disappointing. The polar bear thing? Resolved. The others? Explained. The crash itself? Taken care of. Juliette? Makes sense. And so on and so forth.
