I’m a little sad today.
This weekend things are going to change forever.
After 6 years of devotion, confusion, excitement, frustration and anticipation a piece of my life will be gone forever after this Sunday night.
Yes, I’m talking about the television show Lost. This Sunday night is the two and a half hour season finale.
It’s such a strange show, and I’m not just talking about the content of each episode.
It’s strange because it’s a show that pulled people together.
I’m not sure if your experience was the same as mine, but Lost seemed to have this magical power that caused people to want to get together and share in the rollercoaster ride. My friends and I were no exception.
Interestingly enough, we formed a community around watching the show. And, when Lost moved to Wednesday nights for a while we even formed a Wednesday night Bible study around it. We cleverly called it Lost and Found. I’m sure the shows creators had no idea Lost would have this kind of affect on people.
Lost has been so much more than a great television show to me. It’s been a huge part of my life over the last 6 years… and I’m sad to see it go. But, more than that, I’m sad to see the community that was formed around it come to an end.
There will be other reasons to get together. I’m not loosing my friends. I’m just loosing one more excuse to get together each week.
I guess it’s just part of growing up.
Goodbye Lost. You will be missed.
