Another episode of LOST was on last night. If you do not know already you then you will know very soon that I am obsessed with this show. It has pretty much everything you could want in a television show; action, comedy, intriguing characters, love stories, and a deep deep mystery. Since, this is the first time I have written about the show I figured I would walk you through my routine the day after a new episode has aired.
If after reading this you think "Wow this guy has no life," I will revert you back to the title of the blog and say "DUH!"
First, I download and listen to the The LOST Podcast with Jay and Jack. They are two guys just as geeky about the show as me. They usually recap what happened, give their spin on it and then play calls from other fans around the country. They have a Thursday show and then another on Monday.
Next I hit up the bogs. I read Tuned In written by James Poniewozik for Time Magazine, and The Watcher written by Maureen Ryan for the Chicago Tribune. They are both professional television critics and both have sweet spot in their hearts for LOST. The Watcher, especially, typically has interviews with the writers and actors of the show as well as a recap. I also check the comment thread on Pop Candy by Whitney Matheson for USA Today. I don't usually all the comments, because there are literally hundreds. Thankfully, on Mondays she makes a collection of the 10 best comments. Last week some of the theories discussed there made my mind explode they were so interesting.
Sometimes I also have to check out Lostpedia, a giant wiki dedicted to the show. Pretty much anything related to LOST can be found there. So if I have any questions or confusion I go there to clear it up.
Finally we have come to the best part: Doc Jensen's column for EW.com. If you think I am a little crazy, then this guy should be institutionalized. He picks apart every aspect of the show and then does full research on it. When a new character is introduced get ready for dissection of all the possible meanings it could have and all the real-life references it includes. This guy could literally teach a class on the show, and I am not so sure he is not planning on doing that some day. I think I like his column so much because he makes my obsession not seem so bad.
So that is my road map for addiction. And now I will leave you with a few random comments I had about the episode "Jughead" last night.
-It was weird seeing a chicken commercial with Walt in it during LOST. Does that mean he is in need of work and has no plans to come back on the show?
-It was cool that Desmond named his kid Charlie.
-I keep hoping that every time someone jumps out of the jungle it is Rousseau. Don't know why, I did not really like her when she was alive.
-Are we to assume that Rose and Bernard are dead? If they come back there had better be a good explanation.
-Miles just keeps getting funnier and funnier. Keeping him and Sawyer together was a good choice.
-I hope we figure out why Richard is no longer the leader of the Others at some point.
-Is the girl that had the gun with Faraday supposed to be the girl he messed up at Oxford? and now her mind is some how tied to the Island.
-Notice how when Penny asked Desmond he did not promise never to got back to the Island. I think Desmond is going to end up being the final leader of the Island. He's got the leadership qualities, according to Faraday he is already special and if he had the chance to stick it to Widmore he totally would.
-I almost thought I heard every one watching the show last night yell "Whoa!" when the Widmore reveal happened.
-Why is Charlotte the only one feeling the effects of time travel?
