I was hooked for 6 years.

Agree that the sets of ruins were great.

The Darhma ruins really added to the whole mystique.

HOWEVER, I felt that last season, especially the finale was a major let down.
So many loose strings that it left an unavoidable impression the producers were just making up stuff as they went along. No coherent theme tying the series together.

btw I dont think you mentioned the place that Locke blew up with dynamite, where they met Mikail.

Cool list Michael. I really like the backstory they revealed in the last season with the Black Rock and Statue.

Terrific show.

Locohama- Thanks, and I can definitely recommend rewatching seasons 1-5. SY and I just did that in that past month. A lot of episodes are skippable though- including almost all of season 4. Nothing much happens in that season that we didn`t already know from season 3 flashforward at the end.

Fifthdream- I`m so glad you liked it- I`ll probably do some similar posts soon.

IN Vain- Cheers, and I heard (on the LOST podcast) that they won`t be leaving much unanswered by the end of the show, so hopefully it won`t be too frustrating.

Good text. I thought about the ruins in Lost myself. Probably it has a lot to do with the fact, that ruins became more and more fashionable. And last not least, since the romantic ruins are a synomym of mystery.
But we will see how these mysteries will be resolved, may be frustrating.

I love this post. i love Lost, and i love ruins, and putting them together is great. I have a fascination with objects and artefacts that never truly existed (from stories, movies, etc.), so this post resonated with me. i hope to see more articles like this.

Absolutely AWESOME POST!!! Season 6 is underway and I’m really looking forward to some cooling answers to some burning questions.

Man, you are making me wanna go back and spend the weekend watching seasons 1-5 again. Almost did last week in preparation for season 6.
Thanks for the considerable effort you clearly put into this post.
