OBS has a special A to Z edition dedicated to the most anticipated TV series Lost. We have put together a list of things that will guide and prepare the new fans and will refresh the minds of the already ones for the final season. 🙂
LOST
A plane crash strands the surviving passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 on a seemingly deserted tropical island, forcing the group of strangers to work together to stay alive. Their survival is threatened by mysterious entities including polar bears, an unseen creature that roams the jungle, and the island’s malevolent inhabitants known as the “Others”.
