Lost in LOST


I’m LOST! Last time I was so intrigued and puzzled by a TV-series was back in 1990 and the mystical thriller TWIN PEAKS! LOST is the ultimate TV-experience that I always dreamt about ever since childhood! A story cleverly written as a labyrinth of mysteries charged with strong sentiments along with action and adventure which blurs the line between dream and reality, science and faith, the obvious and paranormal with an eclectic homage to the Jules Verne books, the ”Land of the Giants” TV-series and ”The Island of Dr. Moreau”! Can it be better?!!!! The bar for the intellectual challenge that the show provides is set so high and elaborate that no one can escape it and so far everyone has managed to come up with nothing other than speculations! Theory after theory is discussed among groups of devoted followers of this intelligent show! So far the creators/writers have managed to uphold the suspense and maintain the cohesion of the show, even though they write and develop the show as they go along! But my fear is that somewhere along the way, in their attempt to an even more complicated enigma, they mange to have themselves entangled in a web of mess from which they wont be able to break free without leaving some loose ends behind! Something TWIN PEAKS did and managed to fall from grace in the eyes and minds of the viewers! The higher the ambition, the deeper the fall! Lets hope that our clever writers don’t get too lost in LOST!
