Contains spoilers up to last week&#8217;s episode:<br \/>\n<blockquote><p><font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\">I certainly don&#8217;t want to tell any of you who are watching this final season and demanding more answers that you&#8217;re wrong to watch the show that way. Everyone watches TV for their own reasons. All I can do is tell you why I watch it, and I watch it because I want to see worlds I believe in, no matter how ridiculous, characters I care about, no matter how they end up mired in metaphysical conflicts from beyond our reality. I want to see a man realize that the only thing worth fighting for is the love of a woman he&#8217;s never met. I want to see another man who keeps chasing death because he thinks it&#8217;s the only way to find purpose. I want to see a doctor slowly realizing that there&#8217;s more to the strange events swirling around him in two worlds, a sad musician pull scientific genius out of thin air. The people on &#8220;Lost&#8221; aren&#8217;t real, obviously, but I want to believe they could be, that they&#8217;re living in a universe just around the corner. I want to see that smooth cut from Desmond grasping Penny&#8217;s hand to his eyes opening back on the Island, the look of joy on his face when it happens, a realization that some things matter more than others. Does it matter to me if the puzzle has its holes? No. Because what&#8217;s there is something I desperately want to see.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to search the entire 137-year archive of Popular Science, well, now you can.
