I'm sorry--I don't think you can stop me from watching
Lost in pretty much the same way I cannot stop you from watching
Law and Order and its spin-offs or any other show you deeply care about. I'm not very smart, and this show proves that I am not. Its more literary writers occasionally drop hints via well-placed titles such as Flannery O'Connor's
Everything that Rises Must Converge.
Clearly, there was more to the story than just the plane crash in 2004. In the last five years, it has alternately brought laughter and tears to its captive audience. And no matter how the naysayers and the casual viewers say that the show is becoming more and more confusing--what with the time-traveling elements weaved into much of the fifth season--it is never short on heart. The character "Juliet" just killed me last night with this line: "If I never meet you, then I never have to lose you."
Sawyer and Juliet
And that's just a set-up to the cliffhanger.
