I read a piece over the weekend where some folks are in a discussion stage about bringing 'Lost' back. Year? Probably not....it's probably a working project for the fall of 2021 or 2022.
Since I was a fan of Lost, I'll make five observations about the past show:
1. From the very first episode....it was designed to draw your attention. I would probably rate it as one of the top three best-written shows of all time.
2. All this said and done....by the third season, you were in a daze because they were marginally answering questions, and dumping more mystery issues on each single episode.
3. The best character? Without any doubt....Mr Ecko. He held so many possible paths but the actor wanted an exit by the 3rd year.
4. The number of happy folks over the conclusion? If you lined up a hundred who watched from day one, to this point.....half would say they were disappointed in the whole ending and feeling cheated.
5. Finally, you really needed to imagine a lot of things.....with this coming back almost week, to believe even more things.
So the reboot? I just don't see how this would work. The island concept? It's been done....you need to move on. The mystery upon each week? How?
I have my doubts....it just will be a couple of guys talking about a reboot, and they quietly dump the talk after three months.
