Why LOST Changed My Life Forever...

The advert that made me started watching LOST...
The day was the 10th of August 2005. LOST Season 1 had started in Britain. I never knew I would be hooked to a TV show like this and I really didn't think about it!
Lets start of why I started to watch it. Everyone should be aware of the famous UK promo for LOST. I saw it when flicking through the channels. I flicked over to Channel 4 and saw some people dancing around on a beach. I was and still am a major Lord Of The Rings fan and when I saw Dominic Monaghan in the advert, I had to watch it. Many magazines had articles wrote how good it was but I never paid much attention to it. Soon as I knew it the Pilot aired.
The notorious opening of the eye at the start of the Pilot, made me open my eyes to the possibilities that could come out of this show. I started watching it week after week, after week...and got hooked! I kept watching the next episode which aired straight after the previous episode was shown. I was going to sleep very late for just a TV show. Was this the start to my obsessession? As soon as the finale was displayed on TV, I was part of 'The Fuselage', a fanatic to LOST-Media and gripped to DarkUFO! I was bewitched by a TV show...and I was happy! My friends called me The LOST-Geek and I was proud. This was something I really enjoyed and I didn't care what anyone said!
Season 2 had started and I somehow knew what happened in every episode before it was shown. Had I spoilied myself? The answer was yes! I was reading tons upon tons of spoilers without even relizing!!
I started to become addicted to other shows such as Prison Break and Doctor Who. After wanting to watch the 2nd season of Prison Break. I found myself upon a website, it was named Fanpop! This was the website I was waiting for. Videos, Picks, Links this was my paradise...and it is!
Season 3 had started but unfortunatly it wasn't on terrestrial televison anymore. Thank the lord all-mighty, that my family bought Virgin Media so I could watch LOST on SkyOne...even though I had already seen most episodes on Fanpop before it aired in the UK. Sky had an arguments with Virgin Media over their channels leading to Virgin Media losing SkyOne which was showing the 3rd season at the time. Even though I could watch the episodes online I still was upset by it.
How did a TV show make me so depressed?
The reason why because LOST changed my perception on life, and it felt good. It made me follow online discussions, voice my opinion and most of all helped me do something I like.

LOST will always be my home...
