FWIW, I am re-watching the TV series "Lost".
"Lost" became a topic of discussion in my Sunday Zoom chat. Not quite sure other than someone (me?) may have mentioned how much he admired Michael Giacchino's scoring of the series.
At any rate, our host became quite excited because (1) he had watched it when it first aired, but because of intervals between seasons and because the last three seasons were shorter than the first three, he hadn't really appreciated the connection between the show's first three seasons and the shortened last three. In other words, he felt the show lost focus because it was originally character-driven, with back stories, and it then became something that had dual time lines. He said the finale had really bummed him out. What did any of us think?
I'll get to his (2). Only two of us (out of four) had watched the whole series. The other guy agreed wtih host's first assessment. I, on the other hand, told him I had loved it from the beginning through the end and that the finale, to me, was absolutely wonderful. I added that the breaks between seasons never bothered me because I had recorded all the episodes and re1watched them during season intervals.
What I thought was going to be a pooh-pooh on my enjoyment was met with: (2) my host had recently re-watched the series with his dad on Amazon Prime, with no commercials and no season breaks, and he was absolutely invested in the entire story line up to and including the end.
After our Zoom chat, I thought I'd re-watch the finale of the show. I figured it might be a bit confusing as it had been so long since I had last seen it, but NO. I was wholly invested in each and every character and the entire thing was an emotional powerhouse for me.
I know we are all different and had different expectations for what might be revealed, but I guess the writers were tapped into my soul for this one
