Got LOST?


Wow, it's 1:26 PM on what's gotta be the dreariest, dampest, coldest day of 2006 ... which is only increasing my expectations for the LOST episode coming up Wednesday night.

This will be quite an event, I'm sure ... because what is this, the third new episode in the past six months?

Theoretically we're half-way through the second season, yet the survivors are still muddling along at around Day 40 of their ordeal or, roughly their 7th week on the island.

Which is about the interval we've come to expect between new shows.

I'm not complaining about the excruciatingly slow pace, not at all. I'm sure the writers need that much time to figure out the show's next direction ... and maybe also to figure out whether all those loose plot twists can ever be pieced together.

Finally, here's an idle thought: wouldn't it be awesome to find out the survivors' adventures on the island were actually the "trial run" of an experimental DisneyWorld-type hypno-high-tech amusement park?

I gotta think being chased through a jungle filled with invisible prehistoric man-eating creatures and gun-toting French women would be more fun ... I mean even scarier ... than the dancing mimes from Cirque du Soleil.
