Lost
This is just a little sketch from my sketchbook. It is about the joy in a child's heart upon receiving the love of a mother.
Lost on ABC is one of the new best shows ever. I have heard that it is the new, hottest "cult" show, like X-Files was. I guess I am a cultish guy, but I hate those kind of handles. Anyway, Lost is a really great mysterious drama in the vein of Jurassic Park, Island of Dr. Moreau, Gilligan's Island, Cast Away, Planet of the Apes, The Munsters, and most obviously Survivor (but without the voting off). But it also a great character study of all these wacky and well-rounded people. Unfortunately, some of the characters are almost pure stereotypes, but you can't have all winners with such a huge cast. I just hope this doesn't turn into the typical Stephen King style crappy ending. Right now the show is presenting all kinds of interesting and provocative questions. I am praying that they don't answer those big questions with petty answers, a la The Matrix. Lost has not disappointed yet
If you're not watching Lost then you might as well continue. However, I think that next Wednesday they are showing the first two or four hours, or whatever. Check it out if you can. Set the TiVo. Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids.

Tonight was the first time I was genuinely freaked out by an episode. Just seeing Charlie hanging from the tree, then Jack pounding the hell out his chest...yikes.
It's sort of a cop out that he didn't die but I'm glad they didn't kill off the hobbit yet.

I can't watch Lost. I can barely remember to watch Survivor. I refuse to conform. I'm going to stand strong against Lost. Because I lost the battle to your other current obsession (which I refuse to name).

I too was disappointed that Charlie didn't die. I usually like it when a story has the guts to really tell a story, not just sell ad time. I hope that they develop his character into something worthwhile with this experience vs. keeping the hobbit around. I am fairly confident that they will do right by me. Those supermodel siblings are annoying though, aren’t they? I wish they would die.
Jeanette, at least I don’t talk about my midget porn obsession here. Unless you would find that more appropriate . . .

Yeah, but I think he might be brainwashed now by "them," which would be worthwhile.
I think the supermodel siblings are doin' it. I don't mind if they kill the sister, but the brother's pretty to look at, so they can keep him.
If you watched Alias, you would know that the guy that writes these shows never really kills anyone. Well, Sydney's roommate is definitely dead but I have my doubts about her roommate's evil clone.
See?

dear nopants,
You are a butthole. I love Lost. I didn't get to watch it last night but I got a recap from erin at work and she taped it so she'll loan it to me. The first thing I said when she mentioned the hanging was "You can't kill the hobbit!!" I wonder if he'll always just be the hobbit. Wouldn't it be great if that other hobbit came on the show??

Is a hobbit the same thing as a midget?

If that huge dude with man boobs doesn't start losing weight soon, then I'm gonna stop watching becuz then it would just be... unrealistic.

Hey, don't be SHORT with me, mister. I just asked a simple question. No need to get SHORT all of a sudden.
