Lost Reviews


1.) Review: The ‘Lost’ Finale a year later by Alan Sepinwall (Article).
            This review was very accurate to how I felt about the show after it ended. This writer took a neutral standpoint as to how he felt about the show. His style assessed how although many questions were not answered, the depth that was put into the characters made the show exciting and a worthwhile ride to take. He stressed how you can't completely knock the show just because many mysteries seemed to be unsolved and was very descriptive in talking about the character development that took place.

2.) Lostwatch: All of This Matters by James Poniewozik (Article).
            This writer had a very interesting style of explaining how the show can be interpreted two different ways through a scientific based standpoint led by Jacks character or a faith driven standpoint shown by Locke. He does a great job in explaining the shows ultimate purpose, emphasizing the importance in community in our lives and how essential human relationships are. Through his style he is able to justify how the show effectively started and ended with Jack and he praised Mathew Fox’s performance in the finale.

3.) ‘Lost’ Finale: The Ending Explained by Chad Post (Article).
            I loved how this writer showcased Lost as a work of art. He explained how art leaves things open to interpretation and often has questions that go unanswered although viewers can still create patterns of meaning themselves. His style dives deep into how art functions in our lives and he was persuasive in convincing how Lost was art in different ways.  I really enjoyed his analysis upon how the show took on a brilliant narrative arc and was more about the characters than the unsolved mysteries.
