Are you still watching LOST? If so, you recognize what a huge week lies ahead–only two key episodes remaining. Will Lost actually tackle the nature of humanity? Will it try to solve the ancient struggle of good versus evil? Plenty of dedicated “Losties” complained about the recent revelations regarding the origins of the island. Are Jacob and the Man in Black stand ins for the ancient biblical struggle of Jacob versus Esau? What does it mean to protect the light emanating from the Golden Cave? I’m eager to find out!
Yet, after so many supernatural twists and turns across six seasons, Lost left plenty of devoted viewers behind. The Onion noted how annoying rabid Lost fans can be to those who never started watching. But if you’ve had seasons you followed (one and two) and seasons you avoided (the third one, anyone?), then perhaps you need a quick series recap before finale week. Time Magazine’s James Poniewozik crammed more than 100 episodes into a 108 second video summary. Die-hard “Losties” will note the significance of that number. Others may want to read the slightly slower print version of the summary. The two-and-a-half hour grand finale will take place on Sunday night, May 23rd. Will you be watching?
