Most people would say summarizing Lost isn't possible, and quite frankly, I'm inclined to agree with them. But I, always being one to shove my middle finger to the world, have decided to attempt such a summary.

The plot starts out normal enough, with our hero, Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox, not the Mass Effect guy. Although how awesome would that be?) waking up in the middle of the candy cane forest, not knowing where he is. He runs through the forest, trying to escape the gum drop fairies, and comes out onto a beach in the middle of a Micheal Bay movie. People running, screaming, getting sucked into jet engines, the whole "airplane crash" scenario. Sounds normal enough, right? One would think so. Until that night. When they realize the island they are on is actually Isla Sornea, and the T-Rex is about to come round house kick the shit out of their camp. At least, that's what I assumed, because it makes a hell of a lot more sense then the actual plot. The trees start to shake and a beastly roar tears through the island. And that's that. Its not mentioned again until 2 seasons later, much like everything else in this show. Advise about Lost, if you don't understand something, stick around for a season or 2, they probably won't cover it. This show, even though it started out normal, didn't stay that way for long

As time progressed, the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 go from just trying to survive to living in an abandoned hippie camp and then some actually get off the island. BEFORE COMING BACK. That in turn sets off a chain of events that include an atomic bomb explosion, a twisted tale of time travel that is damn near impossible to follow, and it all wraps up with the biggest disappointment in television history (except for everything after the first season of Heroes and the so called "finale" of The Sopranos).
