Excellent A.V. Club article looking back on Lost. I particularly like and agree with this bit (with the caveat that I do think the first season reached near-art level -something which later seasons then failed to develop) – “Me, I’m with the creators here.

This is one of my favorite songs possibly of all time, by Nashville alt-country band Strays Don’t Sleep, made up of Matthew Ryan and Neilson Hubbard, which formed in 2006, had great success, and disbanded the same year, for reasons I’m unclear about.
