The Art of TV: LOST

Few TV shows have captured and held the fervor of millions quite like LOST has. Its dynamic characters, signature flashbacks and the "will they? won't they?" tension Jack-Kate and Kate-Sawyer have kept people coming back for more. 

Originally, I was opposed to LOST. Any show that incites that much passion from its fans makes me a little wary.  People who watch LOST don't just watch it; they love and follow it. Life stops on Wednesday nights. Facebook statuses begin the countdown around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That Christmas-like anticipation made me uneasy. I didn't want to drink the Kool-Aide. 

However, I became a member of the LOST cult. If loving this show is wrong, I don't want to be right. 

LOST is the most complex TV show in history. In an age of impersonal social networking sites and texts instead of calls, getting viewers to follow a dozen different characters' lives week after week is quite a feat. Also, bringing Sci-fi to the masses and getting them to like it is an art form itself. J.J. Abrams, I salute you. You are an artist and your medium is addiction. Keep it coming!

Hello friends!

Greetings and salutations! 

As an apsiring journalist during these gloomy times, I am trying to share my voice and hone my craft via the internet. I am a self-professed arts nerd interested in all forms of art. Give me a book, a film, a painting, and I will analyze and write about it.  

For example, above is an image from one of my all-time favorite films, Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn is beyond fabulous in the role of Holly Golightly, but I think it was her role as a humanitarian that was her greatest work. 

I think that art can be seen in many places, and I can or at least try to appreciate all forms of art. My taste runs the gamut, so I am willing give anything a chance. 

Thanks!
