10 years ago today that a plane with route Sydney to Los Angeles crashed on a mysterious island location and, since then, television has never been quite the same. The series Lost was the forerunner of a new way of sitting and watching the screen, notes the critic Alan Sepinwall American tele in his book The Revolution Was Televised .
The fiction of American network ABC was born at the right time, when we were also doing social media. Facebook had appeared months ago, in February 2004, and Twitter would two years later. Before these platforms reach maturity and become the center of discussion seriéfila, fans had already served to fast Internet Lost a global success. Dozens of forums and pages voraciously commented the mysteries of the series. Why is there a polar bear on a tropical island? What is the Dharma Initiative? And that mysterious black smoke? ¿4-8-15-16-23-42? Sepinwall says in his book that Lost did not invent the internet discussion about TV shows, but perfected.
In addition to Lostpedia, the Wikipedia crumbling every detail of Lost , born DarkUFO pages that became popular for publishing spoilers and scoops. One of the creators of the series, J. J. Abrams, promoted the web phenomenon The Fuselage in which the cast answered questions from audience desperate to tie the ends of some of the uncontrolled frame. Over time, the debate would move to Twitter

What about Spain? The series arrived here a year after its release in the United States, 2005 Clear, first aired on TVE and then moved to La 2 Finally bought Four retransmit until the sixth and final season. Many of the fans that fiction had harvested outside the United States, including the Spaniards were unable to wait for their countries channels take out new chapters. Pirated downloads Four forced to issue Lost with just a week apart with the United States (the time it took a dub against the clock), as he had done with series like House or FlashForward.
The pressure loss of hearing was such that for the last chapter, issued in May 2010, was planned for the first time in story, a simultaneous worldwide release in 59 countries. In Spain the experience was somewhat disastrous, not only because the outcome of the story disappointed many of the fans (to the point that the writer Damon Lindelof decided to close her Twitter before the barrage of criticism), but because a mistake in the subtitles made these desincronizasen or disappear at will. Which meant, in many cases, a Dual anger for those who had got up early (or outdated) and were awake at six in the morning to save spoilers , (a term that became popular at that time ). But in any case, the experiment was confirmation that the way you see series had definitely changed (and the force in the case of strings).
Since then, the channels have continued trying their luck with hoping to find the formula that allows them to compete with the Internet. Some websites offer their chapters the next day they are issued. Netflix streaming platform, for example, has chosen once every brand new season of their series. Surely, the importance of Lost resided in the first series was followed at once by people around the world that also generated a massive discussion with the internet. Join a real-time was part of his interest. With much anticipation, the outcome would involve the disappointment to many seemed inevitable.
