"Lost" fans lost

-
All this prattle about "Lost" reminds me of the over the top analytical, "are UFO's real", what's the hidden meaning in this, psycho babble conversations I had when I was a pot smoking 15-year-old discussing "Stranger in a Strange Land" or "Lord of the Rings".


I believe we made more sense than some of the questionable comments regarding this TV show.

Oddly, the comments about "Lost" sound remarkably similar to those we made about our favorite weird books while sitting around passing a bong or pipe filled with really good pot.

I have the feeling that the writers and producers were making it up as they went along - just like the Star Wars folks.

Let's face it - the "Lost" folks suckered you, the fan and viewer, in for six seasons and now you are all desperatly trying to make sense out of your obsession with a TV show that took you into flights of fancy, ran you down rabbit holes and generally made you crazy while they raked in the big bucks.

Take it from the Zen philosophy - the show means what it means, no more no less.

I mean come on - you'd think someone shot JR or closed Mary's TV station.

All this hubub over what turned out to be nothing - kinda like the last "Seinfeld" episode.

The best part is that many of you have gleaned little bits and pieces of story line that may lend themselves to a sequel or prequel: which is of course, what ABC and the producers want - the opportunity to make more money off a show that drove you all nuts for six seasons (it seems like more).

So keep on talking and philosophysing and, like Sherlock Holmes, looking for the slight nuance in every second of the last show.

That's what ABC hopes you'll do. That way they can sell DVD series, editor's cuts, lost "Lost" footage, scenes, outtakes and of course, alternate endings.

Let the fleecing of the fan base begin.
