Lost-o-rama

When I said I was going to binge-watch Lost, I wasn't kidding.  I'm on episode 3-11, Enter 77.  I'll finish it and probably another tonight.

Spoiler-free impressions so far.  The first six episodes of the fall mini-season, the only ones I watched last year, weren't as frustrating as I remember them being.  Maybe that's because I didn't have to wait a week between each one.  I think this show is one that lends itself to continuous watching like this -- one episode flows pretty neatly into another.

Basically, it's still Lost, with abundant WTF? moments (although none quite as startling as the original "WTF, polar bear?" moment).  I did have a moment when I was thrown totally out of the show -- a can't-miss it closeup of Kate's freshly shaved armpit.  Uh, no.  They've done a good job of making sure everyone looks a little stinky without being horrible about it, but seriously.

There's not a character on the show anymore who really annoys the crap out of me -- thankfully, they've all gotten killed.  This show and Heroes do a pretty decent job of continually thinning the herd of characters when it gets too unwieldy.  Lost happily tends to off the ones I don't like.

And I'm not sure if it's me, or is Naveen Andrews even prettier this season?

Anyway, back to the grind.

One of these days I'll be doing that - I have the three seasons and will watch them all in a row. I do that a lot with my TV series!

I think you'd better wear a helmet. Your brain might explode.

I just hope it starts giving some answers!

To be fair, there are a lot of answers given ... just then more questions. I'm still a little freaked out by the statue with four toes on a foot.

I haven't got there yet! I've only seen the second season! It's okay - I'll forget anything you say by the time I get around to watching the 3rd season. Is there a fourth out there? On TV or coming to DVD? Are they making more seasons, or have they given up?

The new season starts Jan. 31. ;)
