Jacob's Foot: The Fifth Birthday of LOST!

Today is a day of celebration, friends! Today marks the five year anniversary of the series premiere of LOST on ABC (it's birthday!).

Little did I know the show would blow my mind the way it did. I mean, I expected it to be good because of David Fury's involvement but then the show just surpassed my wildest dreams and has become my favorite show of all-time. Two years ago, Damon Lindelof and Carlton marked the occasion with a special podcast. This year, LOST University opened on lostuniversity.com. And yes, I was accepted and did extremely well on the placement test. The test lauded my extensive LOST knowledge and I tested out of LOST 101. I printed out my ID card as well. I think this is awesome. I feel like a kid in a candy store with anything LOST.

Anywho, as today is a special day in the history of LOST, there is going to be something different. And no, it does not mean I will blowhard more than usual. I feel like a day like today is best celebrated by embedding various scenes from the show. The videos are of some of my favorite scenes from the series. It's a sampling. Each scene I chose means quite a bit to me. I would've liked to have represented every episode but I wasn't able to but there's a good variety of scenes from seasons 1-5. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will remember why this series is as beloved and special as it is, and why it's the best television drama ever created and produced. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOST!Here GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
