Maggie Malach recently wrote an article about how she has difficulty finding sense in the "Lost" phenomenon. However, her article instead belittles the show and calls its fans crazy. I would like to point out flaws in her arguments, defending a show that I truly enjoy and the whole "Lost" community.

Malach argues that there are three things that make a good TV show: good looking people, relevance and plot. First, I have trouble taking her seriously when her first criterion is the attractiveness of the actors, and then when she degrades the show because Dominic Monahan previously had a role in a 17 Academy Award winning series.

Her second criterion for a good TV show is relevance. She wrote, "People want to be able to relate to the actors on the show. A plane crash on a stunning tropical island. A group of people known as 'The Others.' Yes, all extremely relatable."

She first argues that people want to relate to the characters on a show, but points out how incredible the situations are? How many movies or TV shows have realistic situations? Does that mean you cannot relate to the characters? The characters in "Lost" are extremely relatable, and the show spends three seasons exploring who these people were BEFORE they crashed on an island.

One freshman argues, "'Lost is a show about people, life, death and how we all relate to each other more than we'll ever know. If that's not relevant, then I don't know what is."

Finally, with regard to plot, I argue that the writers of "Lost" are master storytellers. Mystery is a very common and popular dramatic element that "Lost" specializes in, and it hooks viewers in from the very beginning. There aren't "millions of plots," just a lot of secrecy, but that is what we "Lost" viewers enjoy.

Not everybody is going to watch "Lost" and not everybody will enjoy it. But please don't demean us for having fun. We may be huge fans, we may theorize about what will happen next, we may put how excited we are in our Facebook statuses, but that is just us having fun.

I, too, used to think "Lost" looked stupid until a friend made me watch it. Now here I am writing an article defending a great show and its millions of dedicated fans. Just let us enjoy it.
