happy (?) lost day!

So what are my fellow Lost fans doing for the finale tonight? Mine will be fairly low-key: in a couple hours I'm meeting up with oeilade, upon which we will get pedicures, buy cupcakes and appetizers and fixings for spinach dip, then come back to my place and watch five straight hours of programming or however long it is. I have also decided this is the perfect evening to break open the bottle of Riesling that suricattus got me for the holidays. This should aid in getting through the five hours of programming, heh.

As excited as I am to see how it all shakes out, I am very sad that this show is coming to a close. For all that I have indulged in obsessive behavior over The West Wing and Battlestar Galactica over the past years, since Lost premiered I would have to say it's been my *favorite* show, if not the one I got obsessive about. The main reason I never got too fannish about Lost is because I truly loved it just the way it was: felt no need for fix-it fic or wanky meta or anything like that, even for some of the lesser episodes. I just loved it wholly, purely, completely. And that's going to make it doubly hard to let this show go.

So, whatever happens tonight, I'm ready to accept it. I've never been one of those people who "need" answers anyway; like Damon & Carlton themselves, I've always been in it for the characters. And I do trust Damon & Carlton in a way I rarely trust showrunners. So we'll see.
