Goodbye Lost

Goodbye "Lost"

After six glorious seasons, the best show on television is coming to an end.

Lost has been full of cerebral mysteries and intrigue, but in the end it was always about the characters.

And, in the end, so too the Lost viewing experience has been about the incredible community that was created -- the Losties. Fans and theorists became fast friends. We embodied Jack's "Live together, die alone" mantra. We shared, we theorized, we obsessed! But, in the end, we became a family.

To Damon, Carlton, Bender and all the incredibly talented folks involved with Lost -- thank you! Thank you for your vision, for creating and sharing an incredible gift with us that will never be duplicated and that we will forever treasure.

To the actors -- thank you for bringing the vision to life in such a believable, powerful, and beautiful way. For creating truly iconic characters that will forever live in our hearts.

To the Losties -- thanks to all of you, for your crazy theories, your intelligence, your generosity and, most of all, your friendship.

As of this writing, the finale has not yet aired but I am already grieving the end. But I know that, however it ends, I'm a changed and better person for having watched and experienced Lost.

We, the viewers, are the survivors of Flight 815....
