ABC's LOST- An Epic Story

By Phil Guye


An Airplane crash. Survivors stuck on a mysterious, tropical island. Time travel, mysticism, and mysteries. Planning, back stabbing and revenge. Such is the story of ABC's LOST. The sensation of a tv series strike airwaves in the year 2004, and has had a cult following since that time. Well-known for its insufficient answers, the tv show lost a good deal of viewers after the first 2 seasons, but retains a devoted following to this day.

ABC's LOST originally follows the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 after it crashes on an island engulfed in suspense. The group is fighting to survive as they experience nightly disappearances, polar bears, and a strange monster made of black smoke. As time goes on, they locate a hatch buried into the soil, and discover inside a person who was never on their flight. The man's name is Desmond, and he is pressing a button every 8 minutes in an effort to "save the planet." Desmond abandons the hatch, leaving behind the survivors to continue the process.

The series takes a turn at that point in the series. The survivors discover a guy who says his name is Henry Gale, however , after a bit of time, they discover that the person is instead Ben Linus, the boss of another group of island inhabitants called "The Others," plus they are the ones who were taking people from the group in the beginning. ABC's LOST gets insane when Linus escapes, and the survivors discontinue pressing the button, causing the hatch to explode in a burst of electromagnetic energy. Meanwhile, main group members of the survivors are captured by the Others.

After several weeks of beatings and near torture, the caught survivors learn that they are on a totally separate island, and that these people are doing work out of the old facilities of a group called the Dharma Initiative. No one is very clear on precisely why the Others exist, but it's revealed that Ben was to blame for murdering all of the former Dharma people, and that he thinks he's given the job of "protecting the area," and is under the direction of a person called Jacob. ABC's LOST gets seriously thrilling when a freighter shows up from the coastline, and the survivors believe they are saved. Nonetheless, it is immediately uncovered that the freighter isn't there to save, but destroy them, as their leader is a former boss of the Others who is looking for vengeance.

Thankfully, the helicopter pilot of the freighter is unsure with the situation, and despite the freighter itself getting blown up, is able to aid six of the survivors get off the Island. A few years after the fact, they still have not told any individual on earth about what really occurred after the plane crash, or that there are other survivors still on the island. Nevertheless, ABC's LOST gets even crazier when another survivor pops up to the world named John Locke, and makes clear that in the event that they do not return to the island, everyone they adore there will certainly be killed. Although it takes some coercion, and the death of the messenger, every person eventually goes back.

During the time that all of them were gone, all of those other survivors were living through a few crazy situations. After they left, Ben and John had turned an archaic wheel to be able to "move" the island and keep the other survivors safe. Nevertheless, along the way, they'd dislodged this tropical isle from time, and the inhabitants found themselves time traveling at a frequent rate, leading to several peculiar fatalities. Locke is at some point able to stop the time traveling, though the island is at that point trapped in the 1970's, therefore when the survivors who had left go back, they also end up out of sync.

The storyline in ABC's LOST becomes more and more convoluted, however , the best thing you an do is watch it yourself. The story is even more intricate than it seems now, and is more than worthy of checking out.
