LOST - Brandon H.

On September 22, 2004 the show Lost premiered in the United States and Canada. It started with a plane crash crashing on an island. While trying to find a way off of the island, the plane crash survivors saw black smoke. They went there to see what it was and no one was there. They later found out that it could be “The Others”, or the Dharma Initiative. The Dharma Initiative were people sent to the island for research and they found out that time was not normal on the island. Time was behind from the rest of the world. The plane survivors found a guy named Ben Linus. He was part of the Dharma Initiative. He was actually the Dharma Initiative’s important people’s son. They held him as hostage. And he tried to like kill them all or something. But then after a while Ben Linus started helping the survivors. Or that’s what they thought. He did everything to keep the survivors from leaving the island which was all they actually wanted to do. In the fourth season, they did get off of the island, and Ben Linus did help them. This was my favorite part of the season.

To get off of the island, since Ben was part of the Dharma Initiative, he knew how to signal The Others to not shoot at them. They got a flashlight and a mirror. Ben turned it on and off to signal them. And they let them all up. Unfortunately, there were people who wanted to kill them all. So as they shot at the survivors they ran for their lives to this elevator that led far into the ground. There was a T.V. and a big microwave thing. It would do strange stuff to objects but, when Ben Linus was messing around with the microwave, the main character, John Locke was told to watch the T.V. It was an instructional video of how to use this “Microwave”. It said not to put metallic objects in there. But that was all that Ben was putting in there. Then John was saying how it said not to put metal in there but Ben was saying he knew what he was doing, so then after all the metal was inside he left the giant microwave, hit a button, and it blew up. Behind the blown up microwave thing was a small hole in the wall. He crawled inside, it was really snowy. He kept walking for like 5 minutes until he got to this enormous lever. He turned this really big wheel and pulled the lever. The island moved. And it flashed forward to John Locke being dead.
Lost is a very interesting show, and if you watch any episode you pretty much want to watch them all. There is also at least one part of every episode that is extremely exciting. So it’s a good show, and you should watch.
