As an addendum to my previous post: no one is a more bitter critic than a former convert. I was so ready to love Lost and tried hard to stay interested in it. But I kept having all these deja-vu reminders of latter-season X-Files ( Read more... )

Neverending Stories: How to Fix Shows Like Lost: "Change the format, or at least reimagine it. When it so-called arc shows, we need something between a mini-series and an open-ended run.

Update on the Oceanic-Air.com Lost stuff... the lost_tv community has the Oceanic-Air site pretty well documented: it's all in the comm memories.

Tonight's lesson: I am a genius.

Also, some liner notes. We do these from different time zones. This week, I chatted with cindyjade for the first half of the show in her time zone. Then, hours later, we chatted again while I was watching it. So you actually get a recap and a half this time! I hope it's not too confusing. Heh.
