Countdown to "Lost"
"Lost" is back on TV for it's sixth and final season on February 2. I cannot tell you how excited I am. So excited that I rewatched all of season five to get ready. I also watched this hilarious 8 minute and 15 second (815, get it?) official ABC recap of the first five seasons.
I think it's funny when you boil "Lost" down to its simplest form. Like when Hurley tells his mom what really happened on the island. Here are some of the great lines from the recap.
"Sawyer gets sick. Kate is worried. Jack gets jealous. Kate freaks out. Jack consoles her. They kiss. Kate freaks out again. Jack is confused."
"Sun is pregnant but Jin is sterile. What's up with that?"
"Michael iChats with Walt."
"The survivors see a boat. It's Desmond. He's drunk."
"Hurley finds Desmond running naked in the jungle. The hatch blew his clothes off and now he can see the future."
"Kate and Sawyer think they're going to die so they have sex."
"They see Jack playing football with Mr Friendly. Mr. Friendly throws like a girl."
"Patchy blows up the station and Charlie drowns. Very sad."
"Sayid and Desmond head to the freighter, Des has side effects. He calls Penny and all is well. Gotta love Des."
"The island starts flashing through time. That's right. Time travel."
"They also find Jin. He's alive. Yay."
"Locke is a broken man an wants to hang himself. Ben helps out."
"The screen goes to white instead of black. Cool."
So what's to come in season 6? According the "Lost" creators the entire original cast of survivors (minus Shannon played by Maggie Grace) will be back in some capacity or another. From what spoilers I've read it seems that by Juliet detonating the bomb, Oceanic flight 815 will land safely in Los Angeles.....or something like that. Who really knows how it will all play out. I trust the creators and writers will do what's best for the story. But don't get me wrong...there are a few things that would really piss me off. Ok, really just one thing- if for some reason Desmond and Penny don't end up together happily I will be super upset. Desmond has had a big part in the show since season 3, but I get the feeling his story isn't going to be told in the final season. He's not in the promo pictures. Honestly, I'd rather him not be a main feature of the season 6 if it means that nothing bad will happen to him.
If you haven't been watching, what the heck is wrong with you? I can guarantee when it's over and you hear everyone talking about how shocking the finale is and how great the show was, you'll be mad you weren't on the "Lost" bandwagon. Maybe you've watched a few seasons off and on and got a little lost (pun intended) when time travel started to get involved, or you've never seen an episode. Here's what I want you to do...buy "Lost" seasons 1-5 or go to www.abc.com and watch every single episode of "Lost" for free. Unless you're a freak like me you probably won't be caught up by February 2. But you can catch up before the sixth season's over.
20 days until "Lost" premiers on ABC, Tuesday, February 2.

I had only seen the first season until last month. After a marathon run of season's 2-5 in 3 1/2 weeks (I'm not proud of this) I am now ready for season 6!
