Ok, so I waited until the very last minute to start watching Lost, but I’m slow that way sometimes. Besides, I like it better when I don’t have to wait a week to see what happens next. And with this show, I’d lose my ever-lovin’ MIND if I had to wait that long!
To be honest, I don’t watch much prime time television. The last television show I got interested in was House. And it just drove me crazy having to wait a week, or possibly a month or more between episodes, so I stopped watching it, (though I do sometimes catch-up on it whenever Bravo has one of its House marathons). Yes, I know. Patience is a virtue…yadda, yadda, yadda. I’d just rather wait until there are at least two or three seasons of a show, so I can watch episodes at Hulu at my own leisure. That way, if I want to stay up till 5am watching Lost episodes, (which I did last night), then I can. Remember the “good ole days” when we were forced to wait? Wasn’t that fun? Thank the gods for the interwebs, (and websites like Hulu).
If you’re like me and never watched Lost, you should go to Hulu and give it a go. It is one of those shows where you really get to know the characters. You get glimpses into each one’s past, and then watch how they evolve and adapt to life on the island. Some of them change drastically over time. It’s fascinating.
As you probably guessed, my favorite character is that of Sawyer, (played by Josh Holloway, pictured above). Yeah, he’s a bad boy, but what can I say? Maybe it’s because he’s Southern, like me, and I can relate to that aspect of him. I dunno. There’s just something about him I like. Remember, though, at present, I am only a couple of episodes into season 2, so my feelings could change later on. We’ll just have to wait and see. Who is your favorite Lost character and why?
If you like action and suspense, Lost is definitely the show for you. It seems something terrible happens to one of the characters in each episode. It never, ever gets boring. In fact, you will probably need to make sure you’ve taken your blood pressure meds before watching. I am always “pumped” from start to finish. So…um…be careful if you have issues there. Ha! No, I’m just kidding (maybe). I’ve never heard of anyone having a heart attack or stroking out while watching Lost, (though, I guess it could have happened…I dunno).
Since I’m only a few seasons in, last night, I thought I may have made a huge mistake by watching the Lost series finale, because I was totally LOST! But, then I found out afterwards (via Twitter) that even people who had watched the entire 6 seasons all the way through were asking, “WTF?” So I don’t feel like I ruined it for myself. Why did I watch it? Because I knew there would be spoilers all over the internet, TV, etc. for the next month (or three) and I’d never be able to escape it. So, I watched it with my husband, Charlie, who, by the way, had never seen a single episode! Afterwards, he posted this about it on his Facebook wall:
I’m officially lost! Probably, shouldn’t have picked the series finale as a starting place! LoL, I’ve decided I’m seriously going to watch the show in reverse! Instead of putting pieces together, I’m going to scatter them about!
LOL! Bless his heart.
In conclusion, I would like to say that when I’m done with Lost, I’ll be starting on Roswell, then Fringe, and then Carnivale. If you have any suggestions for me, please leave your feedback in the comments section below. I’d love to hear what you’re watching!
Distant Couple Marries On Second Life
Rhonda Lillie and Paul Hawkins, living thousands of miles apart in real life, exchanged “virtual vows” at Second Life
before ever meeting in person.
I can really relate to this, and my heart goes out to Rhonda and Paul. I met my husband, Charlie online, but we were lucky — we only lived 50 miles apart. These two lovebirds live thousands of miles from each other in different parts of the world.
I can only imagine how wonderful it must be to interact with your faraway loved one at a place like Second Life. Charlie and I had no idea the place existed back when we met. I’m sure it would have helped to bridge the distance at times. I hope that one day Rhonda and Paul will be able to tie the knot for real. Congratulations to them for taking this step.
