Throughout most of the broker’s history, TV programming followed a similar formula based on the narration of accidental stories. An accidental novel means that each episode of the show is a stand -alone story. It has little effect on the next episode and only limited contacts for the episode before it.
In practice, this means regardless of the number of times I saw Balki and Larry, they dance with joy, next week, they will do it again.
In the nineties, like some courageous offers such as Babylon 5 Then the payment cable later like Soprano and Wire Try to change this by listing the series. Instead of the standing standards, these series have built complex and connected novels that tell a full story over several episodes or several seasons.
Despite the critical praise, the series’s series was slow to get wide acceptance on the network TV. This changed in 2004, when one of them is huge Science fiction Series took the sequence to a cinematic level on the small screen, where it recorded very large classifications that change everything that happens on TV forever.
In this process, what many people now think is the golden age of television, but this does not mean that the show itself was successful. By the time when it ended, the series has become so hated and self that it has been forgotten by the world of pop culture that I created.
That is why lost to fail.
Lost’s story begins with Survivor
Before discussing the error that happened lostWe must discuss its great success. This is impossible without discussion as well Survivors.
A long -term TV program is not now on the air a few years when lost He appeared for the first time. Survivors Popularity cannot be exaggerated. Each episode of the Jeff Probst series was a huge event. This type of things that people came out of the church early and hold hours parties for.
Survivors The popularity reached a similar level, perhaps, only for football, and was talked about in offices and car stores with equal enthusiasm. and Survivors It just happened to be a realistic show about a group of people who were cut off on an island. So when lost It appeared first, many of this benefit was transferred to this, and everyone was ready to control when they expected to be a fictional version of Survivors.
The wonderful promotional offers of the exhibition, which are characterized by a special reward for the effects, along with the list Survivors Obsessive, the Prime Minister’s episode resulted with great assessments. The same show was so attractive and unusual that many of this audience are stuck. Now it was lostno SurvivorsThis is what everyone talked about while waiting in the dentist office.
It was the right offer in time
It is located shortly before the age Running And in the video on request, but during the climb of digital video recordings, lost The right view was completely right to become one of the biggest things in the history of TV. Nearly 20 million people were seized for the sake lost The first show of the series, and more than 23 million was seized in the first show of the second season. lost It was apparent and regularly classified as a popular TV program in the world.
Critics were crazy for that. The presentation of high production values was praised exceptionally, an excellent mixture, and a complex mix of drama and mystery. lost It was a missile for success, and everyone was in the world along the ride.
lost Open the possibilities of more series stories, and a highly concept stories on network TV. It has proven that the masses will invest in a very continuous and mysterious narration. Through this, the producer and star of the stars in the future JJ Abrams mastered his coordination “MyStery Box”, where it leads a series of secrets and conspiracy puzzles. It was the secrets that kept people seizing a week after a week.
lost It was not a fictional version of Survivors; It was a surreptitious science series that made people addicted before they knew what they were linked to.
Lost story
The story begins with a plane crash on a tropical island. They were cut off on the beach survivors, looking for a way to operate so that the inevitable rescuers can reach.
Then, there is a huge thing wandering around the distance, and the trees collapse. It turns out that this is not an ordinary island. There is a smoke and hatch monster leading to a secret underground area.
While the survivors are wrestling with all this strangeness, they start to realize that the rescue does not come. Days pass, and no one appears to save them. Everything while things continue to get strangest.
It turns out that the opening is one of the many. A long history of strange events has been revealed, and there is an increasing doubt that a company called Darma may be behind all of this.
Survivors of the accident themselves are part of mystery. They are not ordinary people. They are criminals, lived, gangsters, and sinners. There is a child with strange powers. There is a paralyzed man who suddenly restores the ability to walk.
Week after week, the secrets of the island and I lost The actors grew deeper and deeper, and the masses found themselves absorbed in revealing the secrets of the island.
All these questions will be answered. All these puzzles will be resolved. This was the lost promise that kept people to control. Or so think.
The great Lost effect on American culture
For many, lost It became a weekly mania. The timing has been right to take this obsession on the Internet since then lost It coincided with, and it can be said that it helped stimulate, the rise of admirers online.
The first offer in 2004, lost Like internet forums, fans and subsequent social media sites collide everywhere. The show has become a huge online puzzle for the fans and the first Watercooler series for the Internet.
The crazy fan base in the exhibition made the people who write and produce it in huge stars. This has not happened before, in the world of TV.
In the movie, writers and directors were often preaching as celebrities in itself. People flocked to Stanley Cubic Stephen Spielberg’s films and projects, simply because they put their names on them. but lost Made behind the scenes like JJ Abrams, Damon LindlovCarlton Cos in home names.
Lindelof and Cuse began hosting podcasts, one of the oldest online, and helped circulating podcast format online. They hosted the team’s discussions in front of thousands in places like San Diego Comic Con, where people flocked in the hope of hearing the smallest hint regarding the place he was going to.
lost The obsession was in a degree of fever. Everything about TV and pop culture was changing because of its inherent clouds.
There was only one problem. Nothing of people are making lost Know where the show was going, or what anything means.
The missing creativity of the lost creative
This lack of trend is logical when you learn where lost He came from. It was not a work of love to exist by some creativity with an amazing idea or plan. It was a girls ’ideas of the studio executive. The idea that he believes may make ABC a lot of money.
lost He was conceived in 2003 when Lloyd Brown, CEO of ABC, put the idea of the supernatural drama. JJ Abrams had already made a name for itself with the nickname chain, and it was brought with DAMON Lindelof to create a series around this stadium.
ABC was in the idea, and they spared no account. lostThe two -hour episode has become the most expensive pilot that was ever produced at the time, as it cost more than 14 million dollars and was fully filmed on the site in Ouhu.
I lost any lost expenses
Although it may be true that the production team in the show had no idea about the place where he was going in any of this, there is no one who denies that they threw themselves to make it the best that it could be.
The presentation of the presentation on the site in Hawaii continued for all six seasons. To make it work, the actors had to live there part -time, and soon they became notorious local. Celebrity violation regularly posted pictures of them at parties on the hot island in hours outside.
ABC continued to bulldozing the money in the show, while maintaining its cinematic and high -dollar appearance all the time I lost Six season.
like lost It was run out around the clock to the big end of the show, the series seemed prepared to go in history as one of the greatest programs and the most important programs in the history of television. But he was already governed.
The unbearable weight of self -expectations
For the sixth season, the expectations were enormous. The fans collected long lists of puzzles that were not answered, such as: What He is The island? Who is Jacob and the man in black? Why these numbers? Many were questions they had been raising since the first episode of the show.
There were already signs that the fans were about to feel disappointed.
“We cannot answer every last question … If we do that, the show will be so excited that it will be not interested,” Carlton Cos warned in many discussions and interviews.
The fans seemed fine with this, as long as they got answers to some of the largest buds, and more important, and as long as these answers were stupid like everything was a dream, or Holudic simulation (hello Star Trek: Enterprise), Or more what everyone is afraid: the island is hell and all is dead.
How she lost herself
The sixth season ended to a rocky Start. Everyone knew this is the last season of the offer, so they expected to start getting answers. Instead, the show began to raise more questions using the “lighting tools” flash to take views to what appeared to be an alternative schedule as Oceanic 815 has not destroyed.
Flash Sideways is explained in the series “The Road Station” series, where the characters find each other after death. This is, although they were not exactly a nightmare, “they are dead and in hell” that everyone was afraid of might happen, but it approached the rest.
At least, the side flash got an explanation. It is not the case for everything that happened in the previous five seasons, which included travel through time, pirates, and magic healing forces.
Due to the lack of final answers to the island itself, many believed that the show was saying that the characters had died all the time, which, for most viewers, was the worst scenario. the lost The producers quickly explained that this was not the case … but if people could not know that after watching the show on their own, the series did something very wrong.
The viewers felt that they had disturbed the puzzles for six years, only to get an end focused on the characters who were polished on the myths they care about. The phrase “They all died all the time” became a failed end, and despite being a misunderstanding, it was briefly disappointed by the viewers.
Why did you lose?: Warning for those who came yet
lostA reputation was fully destroyed after the end. The viewers felt that they had lost their time and became audio critics.
phrase “The end is lost” It became a warning story. For years after that, the pioneers of another chain will joke in the interviews, “We don’t want to lose our fans.”
The lost fan community He exploded and disappeared overnight. Good intentions transformed the display that was built into a pierced line. The critical praise that was received in its previous seasons seemed hollow.
Many have moved away from the lost feeling as if they had separated. This feeling of betrayal continues today.
With a better end, Lost will be remembered as one of the greatest science fiction offers in all ages. Instead, it is a footnote. A warning story. Warning for those who are more promising than they can actually provide.
Nobody talks about him lost Next. It seems that everyone has forgotten it. BATLESTAR GALACTICAThe series of another series was still released at the same time, for much smaller numbers YouTube A continuous greeting and discussion on social media. But it is as if lost It did not exist.
