Getting Lost
I'm hooked on Lost. Have you seen it? What!? You gotta rent it! Good thing it's on dvd, cuz i totally missed it last year. But NOW, i'm all caught up.
So why am i hooked on Lost? Is it because i'm feeling a little lost, shipwrecked and alone, abandoned and marooned on infertility island? I see myself in everyone of those characters. And, so now, of course, i think the show is brilliant--well, if it takes after me, it's gotta be ;)
But seriously, the story is a microcasm of humanity. How will people stuck together by a common place (or planet) suddenly get along? Will they all get along? And what does it take for all of them to get along?
Faith. You cant survive on this island without faith. Interesting.
What's also interesting, from a writer's perspective, is that every single person is a hero. Every character is on a hero's journey. Now that's true to life. Afterall, arent we all?
That's why it deserves an emmy.

Who needs emmies with friends like . . . . Joke there somewhere. I like it when someone is able to see transcendence in something like a television show. It's valid and refreshing. Whenever something authentic happens, whether on tv or songs, the spirit of humankind makes its appearance. Thanks for this J.

Well Anony, it depends on your point of view. I hear that Emmy and Oscar make great friends :)
But then so can anonymous friends.
