What was Lost Untangled?

What in the heck is Lost Untangled? Was that a new episode? At first that’s what I thought. Is Lost Untangled a compilation of never before seen footage from the ABC hit television series Lost? That’s exactly what I thought when I saw all the search activity for the phrase Lost Untangled on the charts earlier. A little bit of snooping and I had all the answers. Lost Untangled is actually a mini feature of the show that has been released alongside the preview of the next week’s episode. It is meant to be a guide for Lost fans who may have become lost in following the series since it debuted five seasons ago. I for one had only seen this show once and was so utterly confused that I never bothered to watch it again. Kudos for the brains at ABC to think this one up. The plot turns and twists, overlapping mysterious, plots and sub plots surely have confused many and alienated many new fans. So, Lost has been “untangled” Presented in a comical format, Lost Untangled relates what happened in the series from the very beginning when the plane crash landed on a mysterious island to the present day where the Lost survivors are experiencing confusing flashbacks and time travels.

ABC is going out of their way to make newbies feel comfortable with LOST’s otherwise ultra-complexe storyline. Those staccato ‘Lost in 108 seconds’ style videos seemed to be ineffective, as did the clip shows. Now, we have “LOST Untangled,” a humorous and catch-up for viewers who may be feeling a little, well, LOST.

Lets face it, everybody has heard of Lost. I went to watch it the other week and had no idea what was going on. ABC is smart to have done this. I am hooked. Check it out.
