Lost

Lost is the most amazing television show in the entire universe. The only show that can even compare to Lost in it's greatness is Family Guy. But that's an altogether different genre.

Normally in my blog, I gripe about the unfairness of life, stupidity of others and...well...that's about it. But once in a while; just once in a while, life hands you something so phenomenal that it makes you take your hat off and have a moment of respectful silence. Like at those things where someone is dead. That's what Lost does for me.

If you've never seen the show and you had someone explain it to you, it would seem terrible. Basically, some people are on a plane and the plane crashes on some remote island. They crash way off course, so no help can come to rescue them. They need to survive on the island making do with what they have.

With that synopsis, I'm sure no one (including myself) would ever watch the show. HOWEVER, Lost is so much more than that. It keeps you guessing at every corner. Every character on Lost has this intense past that keeps coming at you in the form of flashbacks. To add to the terror of being planewrecked on an island, there's apparently some monster on the loose. And also, there are some other people -evil people- on the island that sabotage and kill the people who are planewrecked.

Here is a brief synopsis of all the character who are important:

Jack - The main character. He's a doctor and is awesome. Dude performs a blood transfusion with the needle from a sea urchin.

Locke - An old guy who is awesome at everything and used to be in a wheelchair. Somehow the crash/the island gave him the use of his legs back and he walks around killing boars and finding exciting things.

Sayid - An Iraqi who used to torture people. Awesome.

Michael - Some black guy. Builds a raft. Sucks.

Charlie - An ex-heroine addict. Also an ex-hobbit.

Hurley - Fat guy who is super rich. Comic relief. Pretty cool.

Kate - Hot girl who killed people/robbed banks. Respectable...but still a girl.

Claire - Pregnant girl whose baby is psycho.

Jin - Asian dude who beats his wife/other people.

Sun - Jin's wife who gets owned.

Sawyer - Awesome "bad guy" who hoards things until people need them then makes chicks kiss him when they want the things he's hoarded. Super cool. He should fight Jack. Or better yet, Boone...

Boone - Pussy lifeguard. Has sexual relations with his sister.

Shannon - Boone's sister. Has sexual relations with Boone. And Sayid. And everyone else.

Watch Lost. If you see 1 episode and it doesn't make you want to watch more, then I will personally eat McDonalds. That's my promise to you.

That comment earlier about someone being dead was over the line. Even I recognize that.
