The Lost Finale

Sorry folks, but I have to venture back into pop culture and talk about the Lost season finale. In a nutshell here is my review...excellent! I especially like the theme of redemption, particularly between Jin and Sun. We are slowly coming to grips with the complexity of the characters--who they are on the outside isn't necessarily a reflection of who they are on the inside. Aren't we all like this?

Regarding the masculine appeal of the finale, we had a guy blowing up, a "monster" revealed, a kidnapping by the "others," and a mysterious hatch leading down into who knows where. I have heard complaints that nothing of significance was revealed, but come on people, isn't the point to a season finale to make you want to tune in this fall? Plus, the monster was more or less revealed--it's nearly invisible and therefore it is unknown and bordering on paranormal. And the ladder in the hatch was perfect. What were you expecting? A time machine? Let our imaginations run wild until next season. This is what television is supposed to be all about.
