Lost- What to Do when it Ends

Bob McCoog
So after six years, Tuesday nights will be boring again. People will have nothing to fear about airplane flights to Australia. No longer will people wonder if they are watching a flash forward, a flash backwards, or a flash sideways. Sunday night, Lost is officially done.

But what about those of us who have watched the show faithfully week after week, piecing together the clues like a member of the FBI piecing together other people's flash forwards (. . . . oh, but that show got cancelled too . . . . ). Every Tuesday night, tuning in to ABC was part of a routine as we all tried to figure out what was the story behind the island. Now, we'll know what everything was about on the island, and there will be no more mysteries.
So, what's a Lostie to do?

1) Form a support group of 6 Lost fans, but refer to each other only as one of the numbers on the Hatch.
2) Write a letter to J.J. Abrams, asking him to create The Dharma Initiative comic book, so that way we can understand the truth behind all the different stations they built.
3) Play the numbers on the Hatch every week in your local lottery. When you win, automatically give it all to charity, not wanting to get Hurley's curse.
4) Start calling brown haired women Freckles and Sunshine.
5) Learn Korean so you can take care of Sun and Jin's child.
6) Run up to random people, point at them and yell 'Smoke Monster!' and run away.
7) Watch the season finale of FlashForward, and wait for the next J.J. Abrams show to come on TV.

Other than that, we will all have to come together as human beings during this hard time, as we learn to cope without Jack, Sawyer, Kate and Locke. Maybe there will be online support groups. Maybe therapists will have to help people cope with the loss.

I, on the other hand, will buy all the seasons and re-watch and analyze everything I may have missed.
Some people call it insane. I call it coping.
