This blog is often used to vent and complain and discuss frivolous everyday miscellany. Tonight, however, I would like to do a very special episode. An after-school special if you will, and discuss something serious.
For years I've been hearing how great Lost is. A while back, on a shitty rainy night, I went out and bought season one on DVD. I watched the first two discs, and liked it, but for some reason never finished.
So, all of a sudden, as a result of the writers' strike, there is nothing on television other than painful reality shows. Shit that sucks: the Real Housewives of New York edition coming tomorrow - so I decide I need to take up a new series.
ABC, unlike every other network, got the right idea, and put the COMPLETE series up for streaming in HD for free on their site. Put it this way: I started watching about five days ago, and I've just finished season 2. That's forty four episodes. Forty four hours of television in five days watched on a laptop.
I would write more about how much this addiction is taking over my life, but I have to begin season 3 now.

I can only empathize with thee, orion. This summer my every night belonged to Lost followed by the watching of watership down and donnie darko repeatedly to better understand the season. I'd like to add in a rage about having to wait a week for the next episode.
ReplyDeleteladies ladies - i, too, have found myself recently addicted to lost. its bad news. anthony and i bought season 1, 2 and 3 on DVD and have "lost" nights where we watch as many as we can in one sitting. we even played hooky one day and watched lost. these sessions of watching multiple episodes are often reffered to as "getting lost" or if we are not currently watching it, we want to "get lost". its bad. and wonderfully amazing at the same time. i'm just really nervous about when we catch up and then have to sit through commercials, wait a week between episodes and then long breaks between seasons. its going to be rough, kinda like when charlie had to go through withdrawals on the island in season one. i felt his pain.
