Well, it’s finally here. Tonight ABC will air the last-ever new episode of Lost. I have seriously mixed feelings about this; six years is a long time to be in a relationship, and I just don’t know how to feel about it coming to an end. Part of me is relieved to finally be getting out of something that was only fulfilling some of my needs and this clean break will force me to move on with my life. We’ve had the kind of relationship of which Lifetime Original Movies are born- passionate, angry, loving, deceitful.  Sometimes it worked and sometimes I felt it just wasn’t right for me. When we came together in 2004, my devotion was unwavering and well-earned on Lost’s part… then a few years later I was bored, frustrated, sure we were going nowhere and I almost broke it off.  Before I could, Lost turned his act around and brought the spark back to our relationship, bringing me surprises and joy, and yes, a bit of pain, like we had when we first got together. I didn’t know what Lost was going to give me each week and the anticipation kept me interested, big time. Now I’m mostly scared that our ending will be a disappointment, and that I’ll have to try to move on with so many questions unanswered. All I hope is that Amy Kate is wrong and that the whole saga does not turn out to have taken place on the back of a sea turtle.
