It's kind of fitting that I watched the series finale of "Lost" on the computer yesterday.
It was about two months before the final season premiered that I had been wondering why people were so intrigued about the show. Why it was so popular, why everyone talked about it, why the buzz. I checked on the Hulu website and found that every single episode of the first five seasons were available for viewing, so I decided to check it out. After watching the pilot episode I was hooked. I think it took about a month, maybe a little longer, but I watched every single episode and was ready for more!
Since I have Tuesday nights off, I was able to watch most of the final season live on the TV, and believe me, it does make for a better viewing experience watching it on the "big screen," but there were some times that I ended up watching some final episodes on the computer. When it was time for the end, which was on a Sunday night, though, it was back to the computer again, as I had to work my normal Sunday night audit shift.
I have seen many series' final episodes, some good, some lame (sorry "Seinfeld") but "Lost" was one that left me pretty satisfied with the total experience. I was pleased with the outcome. Sure I would have loved to see the story continue, but it was tied together well enough (in my opinion) that there was no need to keep going on.
I know I haven't gone into any details about the show itself, but what I will say was it was a saga that was thought-provoking, dramatic, humorous, tender, and just a great watch! I will say that it was not wasted hours (again, my opinion) and I am glad that I experienced the series!
A few thoughts on the season enders of my Monday night comedies...
HIMYM: Writing and acting still good; silly stories, but keep watching to see if Ted reveals who the "mother" is before the series is cancelled.
ROE: Always been a funny show to me. I love all the actors, especially Spade, and will continue to watch.
TAaHM: Still continues to provide entertainment, though for the most part, Jake is still underused, not at all the same impact as he had during the first 3 seasons, those were the best, but Sheen still has a hold of me with his character.
BBT: Truly the funniest comedy CBS has put out over the last few years... only gets better each episode and each season. Out of the four finales this night, I enjoyed this one the best! Ending with Sheldon's date was hilarious! I can't wait to see if this will storyline will continue into the next season!
There you go! That's my take on things. Now that it's heading into repeat city on the tube... maybe I can make some headway into my own writing projects, which I have been neglecting for too long.
Have a great week everyone!
