LOST Week 2009

So in honor of this week’s season finale of LOST (the last episode we’ll get until 2010), I’ll be posting exclusively about my favorite TV show this week. For those of you who aren’t fans of the show, this will be an extremely boring week here at this blog. But all of us LOST geeks are going to have to get all of this out of our system, because we’re about to enter the black winter of hibernation that exists between LOST seasons. Later this week, I’ll have a post that will summarize my thoughts on this the penultimate season of ABC’s hit drama. And, of course, Thursday’s post will rehash the 2 hour finale. I’ve avoided spoilers like the plague. All I know is there’s supposed to be an event that, according to Michael Emerson (Benjamin Linus) “redefines the word ‘game changer’.” Whatever that means. (Doesn’t a game changer by necessity “redefine” something? That’s what I thought.)

Until then, I’m polling my LOST readers. Do you realize that Wednesday is the last cliffhanger season finale we’ll ever get? Almost makes me sad. With that in mind, I’m asking you to vote on your favorite season finale. Was it the horror / outrage you felt at the end of Season 1 when you realized you’d have to wait until next season to find out what (or who) was down in that hatch? Maybe it was the Season 2 finale with its climactic build-up: Jack, Kate, Hurley & Sawyer being taken captive; Michael sells them out; the hatch implodes; and we catch our first glimpse of life off Chez Island. Season 3’s finale flash forward blew our minds and left us wondering what was going to come next. Season 4 (my favorite season so far) ended with the revelation that John Locke was the one inside that coffin after all. Which one was your favorite? I’ll leave the poll open all week.

Also, a reminder: feel free to comment about the show, even the upcoming finale, but remember, THIS IS A SPOILER FREE SITE. If you know details about the finale, keep ’em to yourself. We want to be surprised.

    This one isn’t even close for me.Through the Looking Glass takes the cake and the icing. Even though you had thrown in your theory that they would start doing flash-forwards, I was still AMAZED at the finish of the episode. The final shot of Jack yelling “We have to go back! We have to go back!” was the best episode finish of all time. Plus it was a fantastic episode leading up to it with Charlie’s death, getting a hold of the freighter, and of course Matthew Fox’s emmy-worthy performance as a pill-popping, suicidal, bearded druggy. Through the Looking Glass changed the way we viewed Lost and changed the ultimate end game of the show (before it, I thought the series finale would be all the survivors getting off the island. Now I still don’t know where the show is headed).

    While I agree that the Looking Glass had the most adrenaline pumping ending, Season 1 with the light shining through the sky was priceless.

    I voted for the Season 3 finale. Although Season 4 was my favorite season (so far), the S3 finale just blew my mind.
