When it debuted, it was just another tv show I started watching for Dom Monaghan, who I was obsessed with from Lord of th Rings. I became hooked by the fourth episode, "Walkabout" and started to dive head first into the characters and mythology. Sawyer became one of my favorite characters early on, and even though he will never know it, Josh Holloway helped me through one of the most trying times of my life 6 years ago - I wouldn't have gotten through it if I couldn't relate to his experiences of being broken down in the acting world. he inspired me to act on my dream of moving to NYC...and I've been here ever since.</p><p>I met some of my best friends through an online journal community for the show, and strengthened my connection with other friends because of it. Because of Lost, I was able to believe in GOOD tv again, something I had not allowed myself to do since the days of the X-Files. I know I'm grateful to be a part of tv history and have it affect me so much.</p></dd><dd class='comment-footer'><span class='comment-timestamp'><a href='http://jopinionated.blogspot.com/2010/09/happy-anniversary-lost-reflections-in.html?showComment=1285164240856#c476814136527679325' title='comment permalink'>September 22, 2010 7:04 AM</a><span class='item-control blog-admin pid-284149131'><a class='comment-delete' href='http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=6025276501437850375&postID=476814136527679325' title='Delete Comment'><img src='//www.blogger.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/></a></span></span></dd><dt class='comment-author ' id='c8921047929230784940'><a name='c8921047929230784940'></a><div class="avatar-image-container avatar-stock"><span dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/12709195610763752639" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-14-12709195610763752639"><img src="http://thestripturnedblue.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/362_b16-rounded.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="" title="Alex"></a></span></div><a href='http://www.blogger.com/profile/12709195610763752639' rel='nofollow'>Alex</a>said...</dt><dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-8921047929230784940'><p>Because of Lost, my twin brother and I were able to connect over the one thing that both of us loved.

Though Lost is over now, it was a constant throughout some tough times in high school, and was so important to me growing up.

In my opinion it was the first-ever production to challenge viewers beyond their comfort zone, featuring difficult and contradictory viewpoints on human nature, Eastern vs. Western philosophies, right vs. wrong and so much more. great swaths of dialog were presented in untranslated Japanese, and as a viewer I was eager to live up to its expectations. Here was a show that respected its audience. I thought I would never again see such a phenomenon – until I found ‘Lost’.</p><p>did it change my life? more like it returned me to the essence of my own journey – reminded me that I am a student first and foremost, and have much more to learn about life, and myself. And that there are others out there who are also questing, and maybe we can share what we learn.</p><p>I have been greedy for every bit of ‘Lost’ analysis I could find. I have a long list of Microsoft Explorer Favorites in a folder labeled ‘Lost’ and I am reluctant to let them go. ‘Jopinionated’ has been a longtime resource, along with Doc Jensen, Tubular’s Therese Odell and the Ack Attack. Heck, I didn’t know I was missing anything in my life – now there’s a ‘Lost’ shaped hole and I don’t know what to do with it.</p><p>Thanks, Jo – from canhamam, aka ‘Lost Lurker’</p></dd><dd class='comment-footer'><span class='comment-timestamp'><a href='http://jopinionated.blogspot.com/2010/09/happy-anniversary-lost-reflections-in.html?showComment=1285166095064#c3160063568308443480' title='comment permalink'>September 22, 2010 7:34 AM</a><span class='item-control blog-admin pid-646453903'><a class='comment-delete' href='http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=6025276501437850375&postID=3160063568308443480' title='Delete Comment'><img src='//www.blogger.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/></a></span></span></dd><dt class='comment-author ' id='c4466681193986886230'><a name='c4466681193986886230'></a><div class="avatar-image-container avatar-stock"><span dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/08844515837616672750" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-18-08844515837616672750"><img src="http://thestripturnedblue.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/362_b16-rounded.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="" title="Chelsea"></a></span></div><a href='http://www.blogger.com/profile/08844515837616672750' rel='nofollow'>Chelsea</a>said...</dt><dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-4466681193986886230'><p>LOST has changed my life in so many ways, Jo.

I've slipped into the heads of these characters again and again, and they feel like treasured friends. </p><p>I've bought each of the soundtracks, the action figures, the bobbleheads and of course, the DVD sets.

I write reviews online, and for the last few years, half of them have contained references to LOST.</p><p>It's the show I feel like I'd been waiting for all my life. An epic adventure worthy of Tolkien, incorporating the irresistible marooned-on-an-island conceit. It's a series that openly grappled with all of the issues I wrestle with so often, and the conclusions it seemed to come to reinforced my own beliefs and values. </p><p>LOST. so much more than just a TV show.

At the end of Season 1, I purchased the DVD set and gave it to my younger brother and his wife for Christmas. It not only changed the lives of myself and my brother, but it also changed the relationship he and I had together. my brother is six years younger than me, and growing up he was more of a nuisance to me than anything. once he hit his early 20’s something changed, and we became friends. However, once Lost came along, something clicked between the two of us that had never previously existed. We understood it on a level that nobody else of our friends and family could, and it became our Constant. Together we were able to live and breathe lost, discuss it in great detail over lunches, read your blogs and then later discuss how brilliant you are, and also let Lost be that piece we were missing in our lives. currently, he is in the anger stage of grief and in his words “moving on”, while I am still in denial and also recently listened to Michael Giacchino’s Final Season soundtrack. However, because of this show he and I will forever feel a connection that can be compared to that same connection which pulled all of the Oceanic passengers together on the island.</p></dd><dd class='comment-footer'><span class='comment-timestamp'><a href='http://jopinionated.blogspot.com/2010/09/happy-anniversary-lost-reflections-in.html?showComment=1285170764814#c676794956114939135' title='comment permalink'>September 22, 2010 8:52 AM</a><span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1231538656'><a class='comment-delete' href='http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=6025276501437850375&postID=676794956114939135' title='Delete Comment'><img src='//www.blogger.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/></a></span></span></dd><dt class='comment-author ' id='c351591764656876662'><a name='c351591764656876662'></a><div class="avatar-image-container avatar-stock"><span dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/15748326148168156535" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-23-15748326148168156535"><img src="http://thestripturnedblue.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/362_b16-rounded.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="" title="Boo Goobear"></a></span></div><a href='http://www.blogger.com/profile/15748326148168156535' rel='nofollow'>Boo Goobear</a>said...</dt><dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-351591764656876662'><p>LOST changed my life by bringing me together with an awesome group of friends who loved the show as much as I did.

We didn't really have any common interests on what to talk about, and we kept growing more apart. We were both watching LOST in different rooms, and the next morning on the drive to school we both started talking about how awesome it was. Every morning after that we shared our theories and ideas and watched the show together. six years later, we still talk about the show a few times a week, and I can singlehandedly credit LOST for making my relationship with my mom better.

(Final Season Film Crew Shirt!) </p><p>We had several premiere and finale parties, one of which we videotaped and became some of the clips in the Planet LOST feature on the complete series bonus disc.</p><p>I recorded a version of "Life and Death" on ukulele, and it made it onto both Geronimo Jack's Beard, as well as Ryan & Jen's "the Transmission" Podcast - and shortly thereafter, I was contacted by another LOST fan who asked to use it as her wedding song!!!!</p><p>on my honeymoon to Oahu in '08, my wife and I took the KOS Tour, and spent an afternoon at Papiloa and Mokuleia Beaches (Camp and Crash beaches)</p><p>And I was fortunate enough to be a part of some big group purchases at the LOST auction, and will (eventually) have a few little items from the show to call my very own!</p><p>most of all, it's allowed me to feel like I was part of something.

Too bad I reached my dream job at 16!
</p><p>anyways LOST touched me because....for lack of a more eloquent way of saying things, it made all the tough stuff I've been through seem okay? maybe worthwhile is a better word. hopefully that makes a bit of sense.</p><p>All the characters in LOST have some flaw that we can identify with, some quality that eventually made them stronger. just look at Locke! so the show has provided much comfort in that respect. </p><p>I had an article written about my experience at the auction for our school paper, and I'm getting a lot of flak from people calling Lost "dumb" or "just a show". They think it's stupid because there's time travel, smoke monsters and polar bears. It IS all silly, but Lost let me accept that whatever bad stuff happens, I'm stronger for it. so those people who don't enjoy lost can just go away

We live in Finland and he had read online about this show that had become a huge success in America so he wanted the first season on dvd for christmas. he got it and he told me it's about a group of people who crash on a mysterious island. I thought it sounded really stupid, I've never been into sci-fi or anything like that but I watched the first episode with him anyway. I was hooked.</p><p>my entire family loved it, some friends too but gradually they all stopped watching it 'cause it became too complicated. I was the only one who continued and since I no longer had anyone to talk with about Lost I went online and that's when I found the Lost community.</p><p>I never thought a tv show could have such a big impact on my life. I think I'm still surprised by how much these characters mean for me. I'm not one to cry while watching tv but when Jin and Sun died, I sobbed uncontrollably. I miss Lost.<br />but most importantly I got amazing new friends through Lost.</p></dd><dd class='comment-footer'><span class='comment-timestamp'><a href='http://jopinionated.blogspot.com/2010/09/happy-anniversary-lost-reflections-in.html?showComment=1285268764477#c5578904622787410390' title='comment permalink'>September 23, 2010 12:06 PM</a><span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1334384732'><a class='comment-delete' href='http://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=6025276501437850375&postID=5578904622787410390' title='Delete Comment'><img src='//www.blogger.com/img/icon_delete13.gif'/></a></span></span></dd><dt class='comment-author ' id='c1713087522493107898'><a name='c1713087522493107898'></a><div class="avatar-image-container avatar-stock"><span dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/14242830632706982525" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-31-14242830632706982525"><img src="http://thestripturnedblue.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/362_b16-rounded.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="" title="Justin"></a></span></div><a href='http://www.blogger.com/profile/14242830632706982525' rel='nofollow'>Justin</a>said...</dt><dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-1713087522493107898'><p>LOST is far and away the greatest show of my lifetime. like so many have said, it has led me to the greatest collection of people I've ever met -- my fellow LOSTies. Everything now relates back to an episode of LOST. I love how the show really was an allegory for the fan base. the greatest times of our lives were spent with these people.

I did. I did it for a long time. In my heart I've always known that I wanted to write, but I never really had the confidence or the inspiration to actually sit down and do it. I found every excuse in the book to not be a writer.<br />Then I watched my first LOST episode and was completely in awe the entire time; I think I probably even bawled at the pilot episode. I've bawled many times since then, of course, but *never* in my life has something moved me like this show. sometimes just thinking about it gets me teary. And because of it, I was able to admit to myself that this is something I want to do; I want to reach people the way LOST reached people, and that we all have our own little destinies--you can make mistakes, you can run from your demons, and you can sit on the fence for years while you figure things out-- in the end, we become what we are, the questions LOST made me answer was HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE YOUR MARK? WHAT IS YOUR DESTINY? WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?</p><p>so I'm out making it, thanks to a boat-load of emotion and inspiration brought about by yes, a television show. And even if I never write anything as great as LOST, I have to try. </p><p>Thanks to everyone who had a part in making this event such a beautiful thing.

I wish that I could say that LOST has changed my life as dramatically as it did yours; still, the past six years are forever connected to my passion for all things LOST and the many, many hours I spent reading about it, discussing it and of course watching (and rewatching) it.</p><p>Perusing several excellent blogs (most certainly including your own) on the Morning After became a ritual. I found that some of the most interesting, intelligent and funny people on the planet were doing the same, by reading their comments online. I made several new Internet Friends this way and made the acquaintance of author/blogger Nikki Stafford after stumbling over her excellent "Finding LOST" series of books on the series.</p><p>Lastly, watching the way in watch LOST ramped up the convergence of live TV/time-shifted viewing/digital downloads/DVD's/blogs/fan conventions/merchandise/cultural impact forever changed my perspective on the modern entertainment world. Figuring out how to make that connection in the future is now the challenge for all artists and producers moving forward.</p><p>Thanks for all you brought to the table. Your passion for the show brought joy to many.
