"Lost"

I finally did it - I broke down and bought the first season of Lost on DVD and started watching. I've only seen a handful of episodes thus far and have no theories of any sort, but it's proving to be quite interesting.

I was expecting... Oh, I didn't know what to expect. A modern version of Robinson Crusoe, a dramatized version of Survivor, perhaps a slightly grubbier version of Dallas.

But no, it's actually very different, even weird. And therefore good. It's just weird enough to engage that part of me that enjoys science fiction, but not so weird that it repulses that part of me that prefers more mainstream fare.

Nicely done - so far.
