Feelings about LOST

I've been thinking about Wednesday's episode of LOST for the past two days. I'm kinda unsure of my feelings at this point... something just feels a little bit off. I'm trying to think of how to explain, but it's hard. Let me give you an example to describe these feelings and thoughts in my head: 

Think about SUMMER CAMP. 

You go to camp for a week one summer and you have an amazing experience. 7 days of so much excitement and fun and self-discovery. You meet some of the coolest people on the face of the planet and your heart instantly connects with them. You had no idea camp could be so cool!!!! It breaks your heart to have to leave. You never imagined camp could be so fabulous. You leave camp and start planning for next year's summer camp experience. There is this expectation that you will be able to pick right back up where things left off. You spend all year thinking about next summer... of being able to see your friends again and having that same experience. 12 months later... IT's TIME!!! CAMP. You get all ready and excitement is coming from every pore in your body. Finally the day arrives and it's time to return. 

Here comes the hard part... you ride through the gates of the camp, step out of the car, let everything settle for a minute... and then you realize that it is NOT the same. Many things have changed over the year... some of your friends have not returned, the counselors are different, the old cabins have been torn down and replaced with new dormitory thingys. The great things of last summer are gone. And the disappointment sets in.... the crushing disappointment.

I don't know if you've had this experience before... if you've ever been to summer camp, then I hope you know what I'm trying to say here. 

This is how I feel about LOST right now. I feel like everything of the previous seasons is gone. Nothing is the same. The group has been separated for so long that now they are not fighting for the same things anymore. They are almost like strangers to each other. Awkward. It feels like a different show. 

I'm know I'm being all dramatic but I have a lot of time invested into this stupid show that has me wrapped around it's finger. Sigh. 

Stupid LOST. 

Ruth, it's your fault that I got involved. I blame it all on you.
