If we're being honest with ourselves, this is probably not the best time to start watching "Lost." The ship to the series' mysterious Island sailed looooooooong ago, which means you're in for a whole lot of confusion if you tune in Sunday night for the series finale. That said, you might still be curious to know what the show is all about. Star Michael Emerson is here to help. Over the past several weeks, we've been asking celebrities to explain what the show is for people who have never seen it before. Emerson's response is one of the best we've received. Check it out below.
We're celebrating the long-awaited conclusion of "Lost" all this week at MTV News! We'll be bringing you exclusive interviews, insightful commentary and, in true "Lost" fashion, maybe even a surprise or two. Head over to the MTV Movies Blog, where our "Lost" Awards continue all this week, and make sure to tune in on Sunday night for our series finale live blog!
