I'm alive! A flight 815 survivor? I do believe I am!
After a long absence - which included graduation and moving on to college life and becoming an actress (yes that's what I said!) - I have returned to my poor and dying blog; however, it is no longer dying! Because I've returned to the Island, so to speak, to revive it :) By the way! Follow me on Twitter!!! @kelseydevois

LOST Theme Party
For a year now, I've been considering throwing a LOST party... I haven't gotten around to planning it, though. I think if I were to have one, it would be on September 22, as that's the day the Losties crashed; then at least it would have a meaningful date! I would have to compile a bunch of classic 70s music, and of course play Geronimo Jackson's "Dharma Lady" that I got on a CD with my DHARMA orientation kit, a dozen times! I would wear my Kate costume and greet everyone with a "Namaste" and put a lei around their neck. Then for food... I'd make a bunch of DHARMA labels and plaster them on pop bottles and other foods. There would be prizes for the best LOST character costume, and for whatever else seems pertinent. It would be so much fun!

My Dharma Van and Kate Austen Costume
I'm finally getting around to uploading my LOST pictures... so here is my cardboard Dharma Van, and my Kate Austen Halloween costume!
"Nicole" Lilly's Graduation Pic
Ok, so here's the pic of Evangeline Lilly (aka Nicole Lilly) that I found in the grad plaque at W.J. Mouat Secondary School here in Abbotsford. She graduated from this school.

My Thoughts about each Season of LOST
Season 1 was great. It was adventurous and there was lots of character development. However, it was very "jungle-y". Other than the flashbacks, the whole season took place on the island. Sure they went to the cockpit and stuff, but most of the season was just navigating the island... very green!
I enjoyed Season 2 a lot more, because there were some new and exciting settings. Season 2 is the hatch season. I really like the hatch, because so many key things happened in the hatch. The button pushing (the most important element of the hatch), the introduction to Desmond Hume, the unfolding of the Ben character, the conflict between the leader-type characters (John Locke and Jack Shephard), the weapons locker, the lockdowns, the murder of two beloved characters, among many other memorable events. Besides the hatch, the island was being explored further, and the beach was being established to make an acceptable dwelling place.
Season 3 was very eventful. Season 3 is the hydra island season. Pretty much the whole season took place on that island, in the cages. This is also the Season of the Others. We are introduced to Juliet, and see the role of Ben in the barracks. The foundation for the relationship between Jack and Juliet was also established in this season.
Season 4, in my opinion, is where the tables started turning in the relatively safe and peaceful plot of LOST. This season brought in many a new twist to the story. Mr. Whidmore becomes introduced as a potential threat to the survivors of Oceanic flight 815. The crew on the Kahana are also not the most trustworthy. As the season develops, however, we learn to trust the amazing characters of Frank Lapidus, Daniel Faraday, Charlotte 'Staples Lewis', and Miles Straume (my favourite among them being Miles, as I can connect with him wonderfully... I'm always quite sarcastic!). This is the season that starts the whole time travel fiasco.
Season 5 was brilliant. I loved the change of scenery, as a lot of it took place in the city with the Oceanic Six. Also, we were able to get some insight into the DHARMA Initiative. (Fun Fact: DHARMA stands for 'Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications') I thought it was so cool to be able to go back in time and have characters like Sawyer and Juliet and Jin actually be part of the initiative. We are also introduced to Jacob and the Man in Black in the season finale. I thought the finale was incredible for this season.
I thought Season 6 was lacking. The whole way along, I figured J.J. Abrams and the crew were just trying to find out how they could scrounge up another season; but, being a LOST fan, I enjoyed it all the same. Season 6 was pretty much the Jacob season. It was all about his history, his involvement with the Man in Black, how Richard came about, and the black smoke. We learn about the "candidates" and why everyone was brought to the Island. I thought it was a bit weak how the whole season had been building up to the point when the candidate would be chosen, and then it sort of became an anticlimax we learn that the candidate just has to say, "I'll do it!" And then they're chosen. Jack volunteered and then ta da! the island has a new master. Only a few 'island hours' after Jack became the new Jacob, Hurley magically becomes the new guy in charge. It seemed as though they were playing 'musical leaders' with the Jacob-job. On the other hand, I thought there was great character development with the Ben Linus character. It was nice to see the inner struggles he battled with in his journey to be accepted as he is. The series finale, the last episode ever of LOST, was hard to grasp. I don't quite understand why everyone has to be dead in the end. My question is, "Why couldn't the sideways flashes have been reality, and everyone lives happily ever after?" I guess J.J. Abrams is not really a man of happy endings, rather mysterious, sci-fi-style endings. Oh well. The series is through and it was all completely amazing.
