I actually remembering watching the first episode of Lost six years ago in the basement of my parent’s house in St. Chuck.  I was hooked from day one, and apparently brought another devotee with me.   Sunday night, I watched the finale in Eric’s loft overlooking the mean streets of St. Louis.  It somehow seems fitting that what began in a dark basement lit by the glow of an SDTV, ended in a fancy loft surrounded by DTS and HD.   Looking back over the last 6 seasons, I think it was a brilliant use of time.  While sometimes a bit slow, the underlying plot and all the questions kept me coming back year after year.  This was capped by a moving finale that tied it all in a nice bow.  Do I still have questions that were unanswered?  Yes.  But, am I complaining?  No.   There are a plenty of answers on /r/lost, Dark UFO, and Lost… and Gone Forever to keep me entertained for weeks (and perhaps longer).  In the end, I think it was as good as a TV show can get.  It effortlessly mixed science, technology, theology, and meta-physics into an easily digestible 1 hour block.   I will remember it most for the great 1 liners, the poignant questions, the interesting characters, and the great arguments with my friends Eric and Theodore.
