This week has seen the end of LOST, and tonight will see the end of 24 - 2 TV shows that I have enjoyed immensely.
Through both the highs and lows, I have devoutly followed the exploits of Jack, Sawyer and the rest of the gang. It has been an incredible journey, wrought with emotion. I can honestly say no TV show has moved me as much as LOST has. There will be arguments and discussions for the next couple of weeks as we try and figure out the cryptic answers to the questions this show has produced. I for one, was initially disappointed with the ending, feeling ever so slightly cheated, but if I put my hand on my heart, I think ANY ending would have left me feeling slightly cheated.
My idea for the end of LOST was to have Jack and Locke sat on the beach, reminiscent of the season 5 finale, right down to the same dialogue, but to have a spacecraft landing near the beach, suggesting that they'd now been caught in this struggle for 1,000's of years. As much as I liked my goofy sci-fi ending, I also knew I'd have been really annoyed if they'd done that, as it would have been too indicative of the ending to Battlestar Galactica.
What were your reactions to the LOST finale?
As for 24, well, I will be well and truly surprised if Jack walks away alive from this one. Is this the week we see the deaths of 2 Jacks? Who knows?
This is the 1st blog I've written since last October, when I was having something of a personal crisis. Things seem to have calmed down slightly, I'm slowly getting my life back on track, have secured temporary full-time employment and am doing my best to clear my debts. I know I have another 12-18 months of struggling to make ends meet, but it will all be so worth it in the end. I understand now how easy it is to get into debt, and how ignoring your commitments is incredibly selfish, naive and irresponsible.
This past year has really shown me how much growing up I still had to do; a very difficult admission to make when you're fast approaching 36! However, I feel I can use this time to plan for my future, I now realise I can live within a very tight budget, I can live frugally, and instead of purchasing a whole load of crap I really do not need, I can save for the things I really want and need - a new car, a holiday, eventually my own place.
I wonder how much of this I'll have achieved in 12 months time? If it's just debt free, I'll be happy.
