The "Lost" season finale is tonight. It's the one show Allie and I watch together each week. I'm not one of those people who could win a Lost Trivia Contest but we've been watching since early in the second season.What I think is fascinating about the show is that the characters are "lost" in so many ways. They've all made huge mistakes in their past and they are each trying to atone or run away from their problems. Some of them atone for their mistakes. Others are still running. Some die as a consequence.
It's a great show. And, no, I'm not going to wait for Allie to get home from band practice to watch it tonight!

You kind of remind me of the Character Gregory House on the show "House"
Never watched Lost....but I am geting DVR and cable...so its possible in the near future.
Lost isn't on cable. It's on ABC.
Wait...isn't Gregory House a real jerk? I've never watched it.
One of the interesting things I've noticed about the castaways themselves is that they all actually seem better off on the island than off. Each of them is faced with more hope and opportunity on the island surrounded by the other survivors. (Except, I guess, for Sun. Since she would've died if she'd stayed.) Jack's wife left him, his dad died, and his mom wasn't all that happy with him. Hurley won the lottery but the numbers were seriously messing things up for him. Sawyer was on a non-stop quest to kill the real Sawyer, (who he just happened to run in to on the island) Kate was pursued for killing her dad. Jin and Sun were miserable in their marriage, couldn't get out from under Sun's father, and couldn't get pregnant. Rose was dying. And no one can deny that John Locke is better off on the island.
But all these things got taken care of on the island. Even Boone, Shannon, and Charlie eventually found what they were looking for on the island. But it didn't work out all that well for them in the end.
I wonder though, does the island give you what you really want?
Yep, most of them seem more lost off the island than they do on it.
Jack is the prime example. Without someone to save or something to fix, all he's left with are his own demons.
On a side note, who is going to be in the coffin tonight?
technically house is a jerk...but it was the dry humor that i was referring to.
"Oh, ha, ha, ha?"
Someone has been reading too much Patrick O'Brian.
One can never read too much Patrick O'Brian.
True!
I've read all 20 of the Jack Aubrey/Stephen Maturin novels.
In fact, I should list that in my profile.
I'd like to say Those of us going into the Advertising Field thinks you SHOULD sit through the commercials. You might learn something!
Advertising = The Devil?
