I’m a huge fan of the TV show Lost, which is now on its second season. Though season one is not yet finished in the local channel, I’ve already completed the whole first season ages ago. I’ve been totally excited waiting for the start of the second season in the States. Since the first episode aired, I’ve been downloading each episode a day or two after it aired.
We’re in episode seven now, and all I can say is that this show never seem to stop to amaze me. What I really like about this show is that it has a fairly large cast of different personalities, and the characters were thoroughly fleshed out through flashbacks of their previous lives making the relationships they were building with other survivors more complex. Seeing these past lives show the viewers that these strangers have a certain connection in their pasts and that somehow led them all to the island.
The mystery of the island is all-together a different matter; it’s intriguing in its bizarreness – along with the creatures on it.
Can people really turn into savages when left to their elements? This show is just too reminiscent of the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding, only that there are more challenges and the characters here are adults. Is man inherently tied to society, and without it, he would likely return to savagery?
