I anxiously waited on Wednesday night for the new episode of Lost. After several months of repeats, I was pleasantly surprised by the renewed excitement and drama contained in the latest episode. It has been rumored that viewers have been losing interest in the show, mainly because the storyline seemed to be going around in circles, confusing everyone silly. I’m not saying the show doesn’t confuse me even now, with everyone’s lives intertwining in some bizarre way, but at least the storyline has substance. The show seems to be going back to its original roots, before the “others” came into the picture. With Sawyer and Kate escaping from the “others” to join the original castways on their own island, it will once again allow us to get reacquainted with the group. Jack on the other hand, is left stranded with the “others,” which should make for some interesting shows in the future.

The latest word out, is there will only be one or two more seasons made, before calling it quits. The producers don’t want to push their luck, afraid by the end of it all, the cast will be reduced to making sandcastles on the beach. They want to be able to keep the viewers interested in the show until the bitter end. Hopefully by that time, not everyone will be killed off by some phantom, polar bear, or other mechanical device.
