I am watching the Americans.
A show about Russian spies that have infiltrated the United States during the epicenter of the cold war.
Or maybe the 60's.
Either way it was intriguing enough of a story for me to watch.
I needed a new show after finishing LOST.
There's a bazillion shows out there.
So far here is what I have been enjoying: In no particular order
The Americans (1 ep in)
DIG (1 ep in)
Game of Thrones (Fully caught up with books and show)
LOST (Finished)
Big Bang Theory (Season 4 ep 2)
Brickleberry
Anime's I am watching (New) :
Battery
Mob Psycho 100.
One Piece (ep 306)
Berserk 3D

Years and years of Lost
Lost was so crazy of a journey. It ended with me in tears.
The whole show was a bit of a mixed bag but it ended up being so great in the end.
People complained left in right when it ended but maybe I was just sad.
I loved the ending but know that a lot has happened in my life. This summer alone I have had 2 deaths in the family. So maybe I was ultra vulnerable.
Either way it was a crazy journey and I enjoyed the 1-4 season. The 5th and 6th did not make much sense but the 6th definitely had solid episodes. Where yet again I was caring more for the characters.
I think some of the mis congruence deals with all the shows writers. There was a solid vision but it was muddied up with too many visions.
I feel that there was strong writing but containing a serialized show with that many actors is a miracle. Again , a journey because I started it in 2009. So it took me a long while to finish because I was in college. I also watched a lot of shows along the way.
My favorite character was Jon Locke. He was so nutty. Yeah, you'd say Jack because he is a born leader but something about Locke also wanting to lead and not knowing why he was there. Always searching to get rid of the disease of his own idea of being disabled. Living transcendently as best as he could. The island calls people for a reason.
And yes I was confused about what the ending meant. Sure, they all died at different times but what about their true calling. Was it always for them to meet. There are powerful scenes, tearful scenes, action scenes, humanist scenes. Lost is about people with problems but we see ourselves in all the characters. Or maybe a little bit.
It is a highly cathartic show. Highly moving and ever changing and I am happy there was closure.
I didn't know how it would end. And it was a great ending the way it did. I am happy I watched it.
Some of my friends said the writing was lousy. But I took away different talking points from the show. I also wanted to see what other people wrote about it. Other perspectives for me were insightful.
