Es cierto, todos queremo saber cómo va a terminar Lost, y seguramente es la primer pregunta que le hacen a los actores… y seguramente si lo supieramos sería aburridísimo.

¿Por qué? porque esta serie tiene tanto éxito principalmente por su manera de contar la historia, en un orden no cronológico. Seguramente si la vieramos en un orden estrictamente cronológico la serie sería algo mediocre… lo bueno es que no es así.

El creador de esta serie lo sabe, de hecho, J.J. Abrams lo dice en una entrevista muy interesante que le hizo Wired:

What I’m getting at is hardly news to anyone: We’re smack dab in the middle of the Age of Immediacy.

True understanding (or skill or effort) has become bothersome—an unnecessary headache that impedes our ability to get on with our lives (and most likely skip to something else). Earning the endgame seems so yesterday, especially when we can know whatever we need to know whenever we need to know it.

People often ask me how Lost is going to end. I usually tell them to ask Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who run that series. But I always wonder, do they really want to know? And what if I did tell them? They might have an aha moment, but without context. Especially since the final episode is a year away. That is to say, the experience—the setup for a joke’s punch line, the buildup to a magic trick’s big flourish—is as much of a thrill as the result. There’s discovery to be made and wonder to be had on the journey that not only enrich the ending but in many ways define it.

Es el viaje, la manera de llegar de un punto a otro, lo que enriquece y le da significado al destino. Yo lo he vivido de varias maneras.

Sin lugar a dudas a mi me parece una serie genial, es una lástima que no haya podido ver nada de la última temporada. ¿A ustedes que les parece?
