J.J. Abrams is a TV maverick, you can tell by the way he eschews such tired ideas as plot resolution and coherent answers to questions, and perhaps most importantly, by the edgy, minimalist opening on "Lost." As it happens, I like the absence of opening credits. Particularly if, like me, you enjoy marathoning a show on DVD, listening to the same credit sequence again and again can get boring. Not everyone agrees with me, however, and there’s a whole cottage industry (if something that no one gets paid for, or wants, can be called an "industry") building imagined opening credits out of scavenged clips from the show. They range in quality from good to bad, but Slash Film has found what has to be the very best of the bunch, "Lost" as a kind of low-rent 90s "Baywatch" style drama. The theme song really is the very best part.
