Why I still watch ‘Lost’ even though I know I should hate it
See the original posting on The Verge
Lost turns 10 this week, and you know what? After 10 years of watching the show and nursing my bruised fandom, I think I can confidently say that it, as a show and apparent exemplar of the Golden Age of Television, is utterly broken. There, I said it. Ive said as much in lengthy conversations with friends. Ive said so to Damon Lindeloff himself in my deepest, darkest dreams. Youve probably thought much the same. But I have to also admit that, even knowing all of this, Im still watching after all these years. (To be perfectly honest, Im mid rewatch right now.) Why cant I quit you, Lost? Why do I keep going back?
