I finally cracked, and started watching Lost, the ABC show everybody and their mom has been talking about forever. The reason I was reluctant in the first place was:

• On ABC. Everyone knows the only good show on ABC is Jeopardy!



• Super-popular = might be dumb..



• Heard mixed opinions about it from reliable people

So, I went in with some reservations, but in the end it turned out better than expected. I probably would hate it if I had to wait every week just to find out if Guy A is going to beat up Guy B, or what’s inside the damn hatch, but now that I’ve already heard some major plot points from others, then there’s no incredibly huge surprises, which means no incredibly huge disappointments. I think most people were waiting to find out Locke was the Painkiller or Jack is really Satan: something random and with clear absolute good v. evil undertones, but this has not been the case..yet.
