The greatest show to ever be on television

You have your ticket in hand, you find your seat, you put your bag up, you smile at the person you are seated next to, maybe make some small talk, you take off, get to your destination, and that is your typical flight. However for flight Oceanic #815, it is a very different story. We all saw the previews, whether or not you watched it while it was on the air, Lost was a phenomenon. Their flight from Sydney Australia to Los Angeles, California crashes on an island in the South Pacific and the initial reaction is survival, obviously. After they realize no one is coming to rescue them people have to choose who they can trust, where their alliances lie, how to defend themselves and keep themselves alive. You find out about the characters pasts and why they were travelling to LA and the kinds of troubles they had in their lives. Soon after their plane has crashed they notice this is not any ordinary island, and the plot twists and turns and twists again and then you're thrown a curve ball. I'm only on the second season, but this is the most intriguing show, I dream about it, I think about it while I'm at work. JJ Abrams is a science fiction genius, he keeps your mouth watering with nearly every episode being a cliffhanger and with so many different characters it keeps you emotionally involved. He is responsible for this Cloverfield, Alias and the recent blockbuster, Super 8. In other words, where JJ leads I will follow... Farewell for now & happy viewing.
