Now, I'm not one to post spoilers; I always make sure that the person I'm talking with has seen as many episodes as I have. But I'm sure many of you know that half the people who saw the series finale of LOST loved it and the other half hated it. I'm with those who loved it.
It made me giddy, it made me weepy, and the ending made me go "huh?" for a second. Then it sat with me, and I said, "oh." A couple of seconds later I said, "OH!" I got it! And it really tied the series in a nice bow for me.
A lot of people, it seems, hates LOST and its fans. I really wish these people could just sit down and watch it. Never has a television series been more moving or more thought-provoking. I seriously thought that the last episode would be the end for me, but now I know that this television show is going to sit with me for years to come. I will definitely want to revisit it.
It also got me to thinking about how some people think there are inferior media for art, television being one of the lowest. This is probably based on a lot of the dribble that gets produced for it (I'm looking at you, Family Guy!), but I think that shows the limitations of the artist, not the medium. And LOST proved that.
I'm still thinking "Holy shit! You can do that on television???"

Side note: It's not that Family Guy offends me. It doesn't. It just isn't funny.
