My sister in-law found this video on line and posted it on her Facebook page. I think it does a great job asking all the questions I would like to ask about Lost (if I had more time). Funny because it’s true.

Lost Finale
We were finally able to watch the last episode of Lost and I feel pretty much the same way I do about every other episode; I have a theory about what I think happened but I really might as well been watching a show in a different language.
My silly joke of a theory was not that far off from what I think happened.
SPOILER ALERT for those that haven't seen it yet.
So, from what I can guess Jack was in that bamboo forest for all six seasons, dying. He met all the characters that were at his funeral with him at some point in his life. His dad obviously, Desmond running at the stadium. Maybe Juliet really was a dr. at the hospital he worked at. The rest of them maybe he saw at the airport or on the plane before it crashed.
Jack needed to come with terms with the fact that he was dying. His father's body being lost was a way to delay his coming to terms with his own death. The conflicts between the smoke monster and Jacob, the Others and the survivors, and the whole Whitmore situation were all made up in Jack's mind.
This explains all the things that don't make sense in the show: crazy magnetism, time travel, moving the island, seeing dead people, why Kate likes Sawyer, etc.
I had mixed feelings about the show from the very beginning. As soon as that polar bear ran out in the first episode I thought the show was a little stupid. It got sillier, stranger, cheesier, and more far fetched with each episode but I couldn't miss a minute. I was hooked along with everyone else.
Part of me wants to go back and watch every episode again to catch all things I missed because I "didn't know what I know now" the first time through, which I don't think is very much.
I don't think I will do that. I will move on. Wait for the next season of Mad Men to start. I can't wait to see what happens next. I love the way they ended the last season and I am ready to go. Bring on Don Draper. Goodbye The Island.

I'm Back
I'm back. I took the last few days off from the blog because my daughter and wife both has a stomach bug. On Sunday afternoon we decide to get away from the germs and get outside. We went to a park and put A in the swing. Great photos and a video will be up tonight or tomorrow.
A has gotten back to her old sleep habits, waking up 3 or 4 times a night so our plans to watch the begining of Lost and finish the rest tonight got put on hold when A woke up at 9:10. We will have to try to watch the whole thing tonight. The goal of the day will be to avoid finding out what happened. I have a theory: the last scene will be of the island from above, the camera will pan out showing the ocean and then the globe. It will continue to pan out until you see the universe. The camera will then come to focus on a young boy holding a snow globe. That's right. Lost was a figment of a little boys imagination, all played out in that snow globe. Just like the tv show Dallas. Ok, I don't really think that is how it ended but that would be funny.
More real posts to come soon.
