Lost...

I've just finished the 3rd season of Lost...
Well now even more than ever, I just sit there and think "how can they be so good?".

There is a serie like that once in a while that sucks me in and never let me go. Lost is one of them. Sometime I even wonder how I can be so into it. Yet there's no point asking.
So far (and 3 seasons in I hope it's not going to change), I love everything about this series. The atmosphere, the characters, the ever renewed twists and turns...

It's a series where everything can happen. It's in the middle of so many genres that it's become one in itself... Therefore, you're always on your toes. Nobody's safe. Actually not quite but you can never be sure and that's the whole point. You care, you're afraid...

I so love the fact also that they took time in the 1st season especially to make it ABOUT the characters. They're not numbers. You care for them. It makes everything outside the "main" story (i mean about the Island) interesting and it's therefore not too much a big deal when the story stops a bit to develop some characters interactions.

Plot-wise, you could argue that it's fabricated to throw the audience off into another direction every episode or so, yet they alwasy manage to go back to stuff they have left for a while. Identifying a body you saw a season earlier for example. That tends to lead me thinking they have a plan. Maybe they haven't. Yet why should I care, as long as they manage to fool me? All I want is being fooled. That's what the moving pictures are all about.

As much as I would like answers, I still wish it could never end...

Now let's tackle the 4th season...
