Lost Grows Onward In Its Depths

Ever since 2004, Lost has gained a cult like following and grows even more intense in its exploration of humanity and the supernatural. Out of abc com tv shows it has been one of my favorites to follow. The Lost series began with a horrific commercial jetliner crash on a deserted island of oblivious proportions. Cast away somewhere deep in the South Pacific, every Wednesday at 9/8c the masses have followed the survivors of a group that was en route from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California. These rogues have been forced to make a living amongst eerie phenomenon and the mundane alike ever since their unfortunate landing mishap stranded them on a beach in the middle of nowhere. Mystery and danger haunt their every step just as secrets and lies threaten to destroy and separate them. Their determinations and relationships to each other conquer and divide many within the group.

The characters struggle onward persisting in their efforts and have encountered polar bears, an odd smoke monster and many strangers along their paths, including island residents better known as “The Others.” They’ve also found unusual bunkers belonging to a group of reclusive scientific researchers called the Dharma Initiative, an ancient statue and a 19th century sailing vessel called “The Black Rock”. The pioneers include the largely admired Jorge Garcia (Hurley), primary leader Matthew Fox (Jack), uniquely transformed Terry O’Quinn (Locke), shipwrecked survivor Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Japanese speaking Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Iraqi veteran Naveen Andrews (Sayid), salty yet sweet Josh Holloway (Sawyer), Other harbored Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), eclectic musician Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), strong yet sullen Evangeline Lilly (Kate), innocuous mother Emilie De Ravin (Claire), anti-hero Michael Emerson (Ben), as well as bilingual mother-to-be Yunjin Kim (Sun).

They succeed and fail at each mission and weave into the strange jungle in order to try to find a way off the island and back to society. Through thick and thin, rise and shine, storms and pain, this abandoned hot mess sticks together despite their personal agendas creating a phenomenal portrayal of chaos and order. Numerous industry awards, including Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards (2005), the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series (2005), the Golden Globe for Best Drama (2006), along with a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series has topped off almost six seasons of tropical bliss. In 2010, Lost will be in its final year of production. This popular and invigorating show keeps you on your toes to the edge of reason. The 2009 TV season will be exquisitely piqued by its presence. It began with a big bang as well as plenty of drama. It will be extreme to find out what will become of our beloved crew.

We Would Be Lost Without Lost

Every Wednesday evening at 9/8c the saga of Lost persists. Four full seasons have aired, with the fifth currently in progress. The show has gained in popularity as well as success. It began in 2004 when a commercial airplane wrecked upon a seemingly uninhabited island somewhere in the South Pacific en route from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California. Their crash into oblivion left many dead and the survivors were forced to follow their own strengths and follies. They found out that the island they were deserted on held many secrets. Regardless of what obstacles they face, this group of friends, family, strangers and enemies keep working together to tackle the harsh terrain as well as the cruel climate to stay alive.

Danger and mysterious things lurk around every turn, whether it’s a physical thing or a mental one. Their secrets haunt them just as much as survival mode presses them forward in their determinations. There are heroes and there are zeroes in their mess and they all struggle to figure out what is happening and why they are there. The show stars Matthew Fox as Jack, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Evangeline Lilly (Kate), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Terry O’Quinn (Locke), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Naveen Andrews (Sayid),Emilie De Ravin (Claire), Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Yunjin Kim (Sun), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Michael Emerson (Ben), and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet). On their seventy days plus on the island, they’ve encountered a strange smoke monster, several polar bears, odd people along the way including a group of residents better known as “The Others.” They also found signs of other people who were stranded on the island in the past. An ancient statue, a 19th century sailing ship named The Black Rock and bunkers belonging to a rogue group of scientific researchers called the Dharma Initiative were found by the group that unfortunately crash landed.

As in real life, their lives interweave in patterns as they separate to achieve goals and find each other again. They’ve lasted in the tropics throughout thick and thin to shine, receiving acclamations from numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series and Best American Import at the British Academy Television Awards in 2005, and the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. In 2010, a sixth set will be the final year Lost will be produced. This exciting and refreshing show just keeps getting better. I can’t wait to find out what happens next and how the show is going to carry forward since Kate and Sawyer have hooked up, Sun’s baby is on the way and what will become of Charlie and Claire? Just as it began, it will be phenomenal to see how it will end.
