Jetzt, da sich Lost nach sechs Staffeln im Mai dem Ende zuneigt, da fange ich grade an, die Serie zu schauen. Ich habe schon ein paar Folgen gesehen und fand Lost schon immer eher meh (und ich liebe es, über Lost zu lästern), aber: Irgendwas muss ja dran sein, wenn mir jeder erzählt, wie toll das alles sein soll. Also schau ich mir die Serie demnächst an, am Stück, jede einzelne Folge.
Und wahrscheinlich steckt dieser lange Artikel auf Wired voller Spoiler, weshalb ich ihn selbst nicht gelesen habe… aber ich kann ihn ja verlinken: As Lost Ends, Creators Explain How They Did It, What’s Going On. (Und wenn ich diesen Quatsch mit Faith und Deeper Mysteries schon lese, erinnere ich mich wieder, warum ich Lost totally lost finde. Aber ich schau’s mir an, versprochen!)
The series endured thanks to the power of faith (coincidentally, a theme of the show) and a more modern expression of devotion — fandom. More to the point, faith in fandom: Lost’s producers never stopped trusting their viewers’ intelligence. Pressed for answers (which, let’s be frank, they probably didn’t have), the high priests of Lost instead delivered deeper mysteries. Queried about the flashbacks, they responded by flashing forward and even sideways into a parallel world. They sowed the Web with the show’s sprawling mythology. They borrowed liberally and respectfully from science fiction and comic books. They understood that Lost, like God, would live in the cloud, kept alive by the theorizing and communing of its acolytes.
When Lost leaves the airwaves on May 23, its creators have pledged never to speak of it again. It’s for the best. That’s why we’re stopping time here and making that fidgety, spatiotemporally promiscuous island sit still long enough for us to plumb and pay tribute to its mysteries. Once more into the hatch!
