"Lost" vs 'The Matrix"....who will win?

I recently borrowed "Lost" season 1 from a friend of mine at work. I knew I would like it I just didn't realize how much I was going to like it. The whole season is like one long good movie. Since Hollywood seems to have trouble making good movies, finding an escape with my remote control is a pleasant surprise.

"Lost" is doing something successfully in comparison to a recent trilogy that came out a few years back. Guess which trilogy. The Matrix 2 and 3 were two of the most anticipated sequels in film history. People were excited to see the return of Neo and watch him stop the computers that have taken over the earth’s surface. Plus people were anticipating getting some questions answered but instead were treated with more questions with little to no answers. They were possibly the biggest disappointment’s in sequel history. People left the theater with the feeling of “was that it?".

I compare "The Matrix" to "Lost" because "Lost" also tends to bring up more and more questions every week. A big difference is that "Lost" tends to trade its new questions by answering old ones. The show also created characters that are interesting and engaging. The characters have strong chemistry with each other and their relatable.


The show has a lot of flash back sequences to incidents that happened to people before the plane crash. Most of the time their interesting but there are some times when I'd rather get back to the island and see what's happening in the present and not the past. But the flashbacks tend to payoff later.

I just want to close by saying that a lot of television is pure shit. In fact most movies are pure shit. I kind of wish I had started watching "Lost" and 'Six Feet Under" when they originally aired. Back then I would have been in television heaven because there would have been those 2 shows, The Simpsons, The Office, and the recently canceled Arrested Development all airing on different nights. It's shows like those make wonder if TV is surpassing movies in quality. But TV did cancel Arrested Development so Fuck TV.
