Lost: Greatest Hits - David’s Top Five of Awesomeness
Posted by David L. Williams Categories: Sci-Fi/Horror, NBC, Lost, Editorial, Features,
If the “Greatest Hits” episode of Lost proved one thing, it’s that the writers of Lost are stealing my “Top 5 of Awesomeness” idea and incorporating it in their show. Jealous much? Fine, fine, you can make it up to me by having me write for your show. Deal?
Maybe not. Still, as the penultimate (and really, how often do you get the chance to use that word?) episode, it was a terrific way of setting things up for the big climactic two hour finale, which I’ll watch on TiVo right after I find out that Jordin won Idol.
In the meantime, who’s ready for five awesome things?
EVERYBODY GETS A LINE. EVERYBODY! - Well, except Locke. People often gripe that such-and-such episode didn’t have such-and-such character in it, and I’m typically annoyed by that complaint. I mean, there are roughly 108 people in the cast, so each one of them can’t really be front and center every week, otherwise each episode would be about 7 hours long. Which wouldn’t be all that bad of a thing, considering what some of the networks are going to be putting on the air next season.
Oh, and side note to CBS: Your new show “Moonlight,” the one about the vampire who is a private investigator and hates other vampires? Yeah, I would go back to whoever pitched that show and make sure he/she is not just copying scripts from the show “Angel,” which, if you didn’t see it, was on the WB and was about, hmm, how should I put this, THE EXACT SAME THING. Come on.
Anyway, giving the complainers nothing to complain about, nearly every character was integrated into the storylines of this episode. With the exception of Locke (and, if you have to get technical, Tom/Mr. Friendly), the following characters were part of “Greatest Hits”: Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Jin, Sun, Claire, Charlie, Hurley, Desmond, Sayid, Rousseau, Rose, Bernard, Aaron, Naomi, Richard, Karl, Ben, Juliette, Alex, and even Vincent the dog made an appearance. That’s an awesome episode right there.
