Every time we watch “Lost” we get a whole new set of questions coming up than ones answered. Which is fine by me. The show doesn’t tease or string you along. It gives you nuggets of information, just enough to keep you hungry.

Two years ago no one would be able to predict the direction this show is going in. And I like that. The unpredictable nature of the plot is the most original part of this show. I don’t want the mysteries of the island explained. The supernatural feeling of the events that the characters go through leave my imagination running. My mind usually races after each episode. But I am left scratching my head most of the time.

I am so glad the writers decided to touch upon the polar bear from season one. Although we get no specific reasoning for it being on the island, I feel it may have something to do with the cages being used to hold Sawyer. And what in the hell is with the four toed statue? And how is Mr. Echo still alive after the hatch imploded? These questions are just some of the teasing mysteries we will have to be patient to see play out.

Emmy and Golden Globe recognition is waining on this show, which is sad because the writing, acting and set design are superb. This show has done more for TV drama’s than most people know. It feels like we actually get 1 hour segments of a movie each week, the quality is very similar to cinema.

I was really sad when Hurley’s woman Libby was killed by Michael. She provided some human moments with him. I am really enjoying the sub-plot of Jin and Sun. Her pregnancy is another mystery I am excited to see play out. The creepy nature of “The Others” and the puzzling direction this season is taking keep this show fresh and original. But Locke has to be the most captivating character in this series. I love the sexiness and humor of Sawyer and the hot stud hero Jack, but Locke is the mysterious level headed normal guy.

“Lost” is the best drama on TV in the past 10 years, actually it is the best show of this nature since “Twin Peaks”.
