So, how about that Lost, huh? I kept wanting to start a thread about it during the season, but by the time I got around to posting I always had my urge to speculate sated by other means. So I figured I'd just comment in someone else's, but none appeared.

It is maybe my favorite show ever.

Well, it is in the upper echelons, lets say.

I will try to come up with some better-composed thoughts later, when it is not three A.M.

I've seen up until the point where Claire comes back in the end of an ep, from being kidnapped, I missed everything after that. That will be remedied, though.

I like the fact that it's a drama but also contains elements of Verne-style science fiction and mystery, I dislike the chance that everything about the monster might "be in their heads". Though, that pilot never came back...

Sawyer's underbite-grinny chin provokes me, I want to remove it and put in something smaller and more tasteful, less Brando-y.

Also, discovering that I'm older than several of the main cast feels strange.

Rockgod and Man-dude are funny.

I've never seen a single episode of this show, but I fully intend on buying the first season DVD and expect to be addicted instantly.

My wife and I recently got hooked on the show, but we missed the first few when they started rerunning it. Anybody know any sites that have some good summaries of the episodes?

Pity for I take the easy route of bitter sarcasm.

Got into this show based on a friend's recommendation and then godamnit I fell in. I hurt that person for doing this to me.

I can say that it benefits from watching the episodes in order. I had the appearance of a certain mysterious character spoiled for me by a well intentioned friend. This person was also hurt.

The problem is that it's SO compelling. And while I desperately want to know what's happening, and what's going to happen, and who knows how much, I don't want anyone to tell me. And I don't want the producers of the show to fuck it up and have it be something silly or lame (like an electric gorilla on a long chain or something totally rational and scientific or, say, aliens). Which I realize is all but impossible at this point. The bastards.

They are obviously on "The New Fantasy Island" that was abandoned after that series was axed.

I never saw that show, but thought that the premise sounded cool. Caligula is a demon or something exiled to this island to mess with people? Something like that, right?

Another show that will not show in the UK.

When you all start bitching, remember that your probably are the only ones to see it.

The next question is posted as a topic.

Wha-huh?

I will probably be happy regardless of the big reveal so long as John Locke makes cryptic pronouncements about it.

The last episode they've shown around here has been the one about Hurley and the numbers. That leaves, what, 4-6 more episodes until the end of the season?

Seven or six, depending on how the three parts of "Exodus" are handled. The last two were shown together when ABC broadcast it the first time.

Incidentally, the IMDb no longer appears to have any information on the upcoming season premiere. They used to have some interesting people listed as guest stars.

Lost totally cleaned up at the Emmy nominations.

Or, does "totally cleaned up" imply getting the most ever? Because maybe I should just say "did very well."

And three posthumous effects-related nominations for Enterprise, in those coveted categories of hairstyling, makeup, and stunts.

Well that was a list of poop.

Victor Garber was on Will & Grace.

Everyone was on Will & Grace also.

Tv is so bad these days I've entertained myself by foraging.
