Exactly ten years ago on September 22nd 2004, the world was introduced to Oceanic Flight 815, the island, the smoke monster, polar bears, the “Others”, Danielle Rousseau, Alex, the hatch, Dharma Initiative, Desmond, 108 minutes, Benjamin Linus, John Locke, The Black Rock, Sayid, the Man in Black, Jack and 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 & 42. And despite of its supernatural or science fiction driven anomalies, paradoxes, phenomena and mythology, or its famous (or rather infamous) much-awaited ending, this show had me hooked on like white on rice for 6 years. The constant cruising on blogs to search for hidden clues and it’s meanings…hours spent texting & talking about each ending…the excitement at the beginning of every episode…the anxiety at the end of the hour. LOST raised the bar and changed what was television for me. Today, I owe it a simple “thank you!”
Good times xoxo
