Lost has been a cultural phenomenon since day one. From my stance, there hasn't been a show like it. Its a show that makes you think and puts you at the edge of your seat every week. You may get a little disappointed from time to time because you think the show will tell you something, and then it doesn't for weeks, but eventually you will know the truth.

I never seen this show until the first season came to DVD. At first it wasn't something that looked interesting to me, because I'm not really into the whole Si-fi thing, but I was at the video store one day and thought I would give it a shot. After the first episode, I was hooked. The season finale was so good I couldn't wait until season two, except for the fact the time conflicted with my favorite show, One Tree Hill. By the time they changed time, in season three, the season was halfway over. But luckly I got all caught up in time for season four to start, and I was able to actually watch it.

I had another chance to watch the show from the beginning because my boyfriend watched the season premiere of season 4 with me and was so confused he needed to watch from the beginning. After I got season 1 from Amazon, we stayed in all weekend and all we did was watch Lost and eat pizza. Thank goodness I had season two at home so we didn't have to wait long to stay in for another weekend. I finally had someone to watch it with me.

Lost is the story of a plane crash on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. An island that nobody can find, with many mysteries that come with it. The survivors have to ban together to find food, make shelter, and stay together so they can survive. There is a plethera of different people from different cultures and races that are stuck on this island. Some end up dying, more survivors show up, and they even come across people already on the island.

Its like Guilligan's Island or Survivor, but with many twists, turns, and mysteries to figure out. Even if your not big on si-fi, I definatly think you will love this show too. But just make sure you pay close attention with all these characters, like the "others, who live on the island, and the Dharma Initiative, an experimental team from the 70's who did their experiemens on the island.

I start this new thing on my blog and now I'm slacking on it! I feel really bad because I said I was going to start doing something, and I do it once, and then forget about it. But I apologize, and I will try much harder from now on.

This was suppose to be on Wednesday's since Lost is on Wednesday's but sadly, I forgot yesterday, and I was busy last week, so that's why I forgot last week.

Next Week: Sawyer

The Lost Profiles- Jack

Since Lost is done for the season (I know, I'm sad about it too!) I needed to figure out something else to write about on Wednesdays instead of a recap/review of the episode.

Top Five Tuesday

Every Tuesday I'm going to a little thing I call "Top Five Tuesday." I'll countdown my top five in everything related to television.

This week I'll be talking about my top 5 tv shows in the drama category.

# 5

Nip/Tuck

I recently just got into this show. I got my boyfriend into a few shows that I liked to watch so he thought it would be nice if I watched something that he was into. He also thought I would like it since I like Grey's Anatomy and they are both medical dramas. So we started from the beginning and I love it! Although, I'm kinda sad that the show is almost over and I just started watching it.

Gossip Girl

Yes, both these are tied for the number 5 spot. I loved the books so I was so excited when I found out it was becoming a show. I started watching it from the start but for some reason I stopped...I'm not really sure why. But when season came out on dvd I ordered it on Netflix and wondered why I stopped watching it in the first place. But since season 2 was already started I didn't want to continue in the middle of the season. So now I have to wait til season 2 comes out on dvd to get caught up. But at least I can start watching season 3 when it premiers =)

#4

Supernatural

I started watching this show when it first came out and I loved it from the first episode. I love scary movies and to me this show is a different scary movie every week. I watched the first season but when I came to college, I stopped watching it because I went out every Thursday and since Supernatural was on Thursday nights it was kinda hard to keep up with it. However, I rented the dvd's as soon as they came out. And this was one show I got my boyfriend into. We argue alot when it comes to the tv, so its nice to be into a few of the same tv shows. I have watched most of the current season but after that last hiatus I've fallen behind a bit. But I will of course rent it when it comes to dvd.

#3

Lost

I didn't really know anything about this show when it first came on tv but my sister started watching it and said that she loved it. So I was at the movie store one night and decided to rent it and see what all the fuss was about. I loved it! Season two was already like halfway done by the time I finished season one so I couldn't start halfway through the season. So I waited til season two was on dvd to watch it. But as season three rolled around I still couldn't watch it because it was on at the same time as One Tree Hill. But then halfway through it switched nights so I was able to watch it. Since I only saw like half the season I had to rent season 3 when it came out so I knew all that was going on. Finally, when season 4 premiered I was able to watch it on tv. And my boyfriend was with me during that episode and of course had no clue what was going on. So I decided to buy season one so he could watch it. He was addicted after the first disk so for a weekend the only thing we did was sit in his dorm room on watch Lost and eat junk food. I didn't need to buy season 2 because my sister got it for Christmas (my mom didn't want to buy season one because it was more expensive lol) so I just got it from her and for another weekend all we did was stay in his dorm room and watch Lost and eat junk food. I then of course had to buy season 3. So at the same time we were starting from the beginning and watching the new season at the same time. I'm sure you all can figure out how confusing this may be for my boyfriend ;) But now, he is as obsessed with this show as I am! And were both sad that the show will be over after the next season. But we will always have the dvds to go back to!

#2

Grey's Anatomy

This is another show that I didn't watch in the very beginning. I think it was because I always watched The WB (and then the CW when it was changed) and I never really watched ABC and that was why I never knew anything about this show or Lost. But my senior year of high school one of my physics partners watched it so she would talk about every now and then. And when I got to college some of my friends watched it every week so I sometimes watched it with them. Even though I didn't know what was going on I still thought it was a great show so last year I started renting the dvds and of course I fell in love with it. I got caught up just in time for the return of the show after one of their mid season hiatus so I was able to finish up the season. My boyfriend watched a couple episodes with me but he would always pretend he wasn't really into it. Then this year I started buying the dvds because I really wanted to watch them over and he started watching them with me (we didn't have cable so there really wasn't much of a choice on what he watched, and which is also why we watched a lot of tv on dvd lol) So then, I got him into another favorite show of mine and he isn't ashamed of it! And even though I just started watching it a year ago, it still has my number 2 spot because this is one show where every episoded has exceded my expectations. I have never been bored watching an episode of this show!

And now...my #1 favorite show (in the category of drama...and just in general)

ONE TREE HILL

This is my number one show because this is the one show I have watched from the very beginning and have never missed an episode. I have been an avid, obsessed fan from the beginning. I've bought ever set of dvds as soon as they come out and every soundtrack. I've also made mix cd's of some of the songs that have been featured in the show that haven't been on the soundtrack. I've also gotten a lot of people I know into this show so I have people to talk about it with. I got my sisters into it: as soon as I got season 1 on dvd I brought it to my dad's and the three of us stayed up all night until we finished the season. Even my little sister got into it. Then one year when we were on vacation I got my mom into it. We were taking a break from the beach one day because we were so sunburnt so I popped in the first disk and she loved it. So the next year we watched season 2. Then when I got to college my friend Rose and I watched it every week together. She never saw much of the show but of course I got her into it. I also got my friend Jackie into it last year. She was always a fan of the O.C instead of One Tree Hill but last year she started from the beginning and loved it. This show has been my number one since it started and will always be. Even though I do prefer the first four seasons over this four year jump...but they have had some crazy episodes in these last two seasons. Even with two of the main characters not coming back next season I will still watch and it will still be my number 1 =)

Well, thats my top 5...What's yours?

Next week I'll countdown my top 5 favorite reality shows

LOST Season Finale Was Crazyyyy!

Its Wednesday and for me what that means is...LOST is on!!! This is defiantly on my top 5 favorite tv drama shows and I'm so excited because tonight's season finale is 2 hours long. What's better than watching one of your favorite tv show for 2 hours instead of one! But before the actual finale was a special called "Lost: A Journey In Time" So really it was really 3 hours...that's even better!

Its been a pretty crazy season! At first it wasn't really going anywhere considering it took like four episodes for them to get back to the island. But once they got there its been nothing but an awesome season! There are some things I'm still shocked about.

For instance:

• Jin is alive! Don't get me wrong...I love Jin and I'm so happy that he's alive but I can't believed he survived the explosion.
  
• The people left on the island join the Darma Initiative. Didn't see that one coming!*Sawyer and Julliet are together! Seriously!? I have always been and always will be a shipper of Kate and Sawyer and I have never liked Julliet so I hate that she is now with Sawyer. But after the last episode there is still hope for Kate and Sawyer and I really really hope they end up together in the end!
  
• Ben kills Locke! Even though Locke is alive once he gets back to the island I can't believe Ben killed him. I wonder what Ben's going to do now that Locke is still leader of the others.
• Daniel is DEAD! And his MOM killed him. The 1970s version of her killed him but her present self knew what she was doing when she told him he should take the job that would take him back to the island.
• Ceaser and Alana knew that they were going back to the island.
  
• Sayid shoots little Ben!
• Charles Whitmore is Daniel's father.
  
• Speaking of fathers...Dr. Chang is Miles' father! Would never have guessed!
• We finally find out where the smoke monster comes from!
  
• Oh and I couldn't forget about Amy's baby. Its Ethan! I honestly didn't think it was him. I wonder how he ends up with a different last name? I guess we will find out next season!
  

So I think that's pretty much the entire season in a nutshell(minus a few minor things). So here are my thoughts on the 2 hour season finale of LOST.

• Of course the first five minutes of every LOST episode are very crusial...and in these first five minutes we find out who Jacob is! I didn't even think that he was an actual person (considering Ben made up the fact that he was in the cabin that time he brought Locke there, which he admits) but here he is sitting on the beach with the statue. And then we find out he went to go visit everyone at some point in time! But now we know why Hurley went back and had that guitar case. And we find out he is friendly with Alana! And of course she had to torch the caban after learning Jacob hasn't been there for awhile! Now Locke will never find it. But wait...Jacob lives in the statue!? Really!?
• I really hate when Sawyer tells Kate and then Jack that him and Julliet were happy in Darmaville before they all showed up and when he tells. It was him that said they would wait as long as it took for everyone to come back for him!
• Little Sawyer is so cute! And how can you tell a little boy to get over the loss of both his parents!
• Ok...first Julliet wants to stop Jack and then she thinks he is right? Seriously!? And because of the way "he looked at her" Obviously she is insecure with her relationship. Even though I could care less since I hate her and want Saywer to end up with Kate.
• I thought Richard was a good guy but I really don't know anymore
• Now that we've seen how Nadia died its even sadder! It was wonderful that Sayid finally got to be with the women he loved and then she got taken away from him too quickly! So sad!
• They found Vincent, Rose, and Bernard! I screamed when I saw Vincent running out of the jungle like that! I was wondering what happened to them. There not the bones of "Adam and Eve" in the caves after all!
• Now we know that John has not only died once and came back to life, but twice. He was totally a dead man when his dad pushed him out of that window but Jacob brought him back to life!
• Sun looked so beautiful in her wedding dress...which was also really pretty :)
• Awwww...Jack still loves Kate! Except she is suppose to be with Sawyer! Sorry Jack!
• I actually feel kinda sorry for Ben. He is just so downhearted about not being the leader and having to listen to his dead daughter...Poor Ben!
• And of course the bomb does NOT go off! And Julliet gets sucked into that black hole! I do feel really bad for Sawyer but Kate can always give him her shoulder to cry on :) But she isn't dead...how I don't know! But she finds out why the bomb didn't go off and does it herself!
• And the biggest shock of all!??? LOCK IS REALLY DEAD!!!! So who the heck is this other person!??? They both seem to be Locke...and Jacob seems to know exactly what is going on! Well I would like to know what is going on! And I'm sure everyone else would also like to know too!

But now we have to wait until next January to see what happens! And its going to be the last season :( Sooo sad! But I can't wait!!! Its been a crazy season and I'm sure its just going to get crazier!
