Lost will end in riots.

A lot of people who either read my blog or know me personally know that I am a fan of the television show LOST. The unique way of storytelling, pseudo-noir and mystery captivate me as well as the wonderful cast of characters who are all different and well written.

Probable spoilers for those who haven't watched seasons 1 - 4.

Lately I've heard criticism of the show that just dumbfound me. Someone went "The show is stupid, those numbers are dumb and they move the island? it's retarded", I wanted to cut a bitch. I believe that this same person is also a Stargate fan... which.... yeah, you can suck my fl acid white dick.

The show is intently written so oddly and so discombobulated because the show is less of a show and more of an existential experience. If you watch the show then you might know what I mean, there are hardly (or possibly never?) shows that captivate audiences the way that Lost does.

If you can follow the show, then odds are- you'll like it. There is a character for everyone and anyone and it blends a nice amount of realism with science fiction and fantasy at the same time while still incorporating questions upon questions that you want answers to, but you know that you're not getting them for at least two more weeks.

I watch A LOT of television (only due to my little buddy named TiVo) and I can honestly say that there are three shows that I like as much as this; Weeds, Dexter and Californication (all of those happen to be on Showtime).

The show is set to wrap up after two more seasons (season 5 premieres on January 21st) and it's impossible for me to think that they can really end the show. I mean, I welcome the end to happen because everything should only run it's course before it gets tired and weak (Ala the last two seasons of The X-Files).

I honestly believe that they show will end with a riot from people. Not a riot in the show (maybe?) but actual people. If there are enough angry geeks like myself who get pissed off at the end, I believe there will be a (small) riot in which copies of The Stand are ripped up and people pray to Alan Moore statues while cursing J.J. Abrams loudly. I do have confidence in the producers and writers though, so we shall wait and see.

Are you a Lost fan? Predictions? Criticisms?
Like Stargate? ...Eat dick.
