    • When watching the television show Lost, there are a few items for your own sanity’s survival to keep within reaching distance.

      kate_and_sayid.jpg A cocktail, your laptop for easy reference on a kajillion references because every scenario of each name/photo needs to be researched and then Vicodin to ease the brain explosion after watching the episode. (Legally, of course.)

      One of the things about Lost that makes it such a brainstrain is so much happens at once that it’s hard to put it all together. Thank God the Writer’s Strike is over and ABC will keep putting the last episodes up so geeks like myself can go and pour over 40+ minutes to make sure we didn’t miss something.

      In last night’s episode, we have seen the future of Sayid after the island. We see he’s living a lovely life of running a daycare center named after deceased girlfriend Shannon (I keed. I tease because I love.) Nope, he’s an assassin. And he’s not your run-of-the-mill killer. He’s one with a purpose apparently but we don’t know that until the last few seconds of the episode which I won’t spoil you about but when you see who Sayid is hanging out with, you will be surprised. Don’t doubt it.

      The evolution of the show has once again offered viewers a multi-layered mystery with an outcome revealed but we haven’t been on the journey yet on how Hurley, Kate, Jack and Sayid got from the island to where they are today. We do know that Jack the control freak now has no control over his life. Kate, who can be billy bad-ass and a hot mess at the same time, seems to have it together more than her male counterparts. We know Hurley has returned to the comforts of a mental hospital drawing pictures of Eskimos (remember the finale of Season Two) and that Sayid is in over his head.

      But why?

      And that is the beauty of Lost. The questions are always so much more important than the answers and in some ways Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have given us answers every week as we go along.  You have to pay attention though.

      Lost has redefined television in many ways but I do see some comparisons with shows such as “The Prisoner” which also saw a lost man living in a world that had a set of rules that were not in the manual of what is supposed to happen and what isn’t.

      Lost will also have five more episodes, according to the producers, now that the Writer’s Strike has been resolved.  And for fans salivating over what is going on, this is good news indeed.

      This is a grea post, thank you. I don’t have cable tv, so watch what I can on the internet I’ve found some good websites to watch television, but most of them want you to fill out a survey to watch them, do you know of any web sites that do not require this?
