For the last two weeks, I’ve been watching Lost episodes like crazy to get caught up to the new season. I’ve watched twenty episodes, and I think I have another twelve to go before I can start watching with the rest of humanity when it regularly airs. The question I’m having is – do I even want to watch it on TV when it regularly airs? Faith and I have been enjoying watching two or three at a time, and it’s nice to be able to pop the next one in if there’s a real cliffhanger at the end – like someone getting kidnapped or finding a spaceship/time capsule in the forest or something.

We used to watch ER religiously on Thursday nights with friends in Iowa. It was nice to have a social ritual. I’d like to do that again with Lost, but everyone is so far spread out over the Chicagoland area that it’s unlikely folks would be up for a mid-week trek to our place to watch a TV show.

So I guess for now, we’ll keep plugging through the episodes – one or two a night. I’m really starting to hope this isn’t like Twin Peaks or X-Files – where you suspect that the plot twists haven’t really been fully planned out, and as the show goes on things just don’t get explained or don’t make sense when they do.
