Hooked on Lost
I have become hooked on the TV show “Lost."
I didn’t watch it at all during its first season. I swear I thought it was reality TV until I happened to see Mira Furlan’s face in an episode as I was switching channels.
Then shortly before the second season, hubby bought the DVD set of the first season. We watched the entire season in a ridiculously short span of time. But sadly we didn’t finish it before the second season started.
We didn’t want to watch them out of order, so we decided to wait until the reruns of season two before watching again. Then a friend told me you could download the episodes via I-Tunes for about $2 a pop. Yee-haw!
We downloaded and watched the nine season-two episodes in a matter of days. We watched the last one (“What Kate Did") Tuesday night, thinking “This is great! We are caught up. We can start watching them live tomorrow."
Wednesday at 9pm rolled around. I was so excited to finally be up-to-date and watching “Lost" live as it airs. But then none of the “previously on" scenes were from the last episode. I started to get that bad feeling. Then the episode began, and yes of course I had seen this scene. It quickly became clear that this was a repeat.
I was so disappointed.
I got on the web to try to find out when the next new episode airs and I couldn’t find it anywhere.
Uggh. No “Battlestar Galatica" (until January), no “Lost" (until ?), no “Firefly." What’s a girl supposed to do? There is truly nothing worth watching on TV right now. Well, except for maybe Rick Springfield’s return to “General Hospital." Now that is must-see TV for an 80’s girl like me!
