I am so Lost!

I'm going to leave my faithful audience on pins and needles waiting for that first "liberal conservative" post. Instead I'm going to talk pop culture, in this case my love of the ABC show Lost. Due to a Tivo programming blunder last January I didn't record the first few episodes of 24 meaning it was worthless to even try watching this season's show So ignoring the fact that I'm intentionally not watching 24, I'm going to have to boldly state the Lost is the best show to hit the airwaves since Quantum Leap. The premise to the show seems short lived, but the character development is incredible and the paranormal twists make every episode a nail biting experience. The show reminds me a bit of the first year of Alias, which worries me a little bit because the brains behind Alias are also bringing us Lost. The stellar plotlines of Alias have now deteriorated to the point where I like the villians more than the heroine, Sydney. Are this year's Alias episodes being written by kindergarteners now?

Back to Lost...

I haven't spent any time online reading over story line speculations, but I do have some crazy ideas. I think the "container" unearthed by Locke is some sort of altnernate reality or time warping portal. The voice Boone heard on the other side of the radio (before he died) was his own voice, just him in an alternate universe. I'm sure I'm not even close on my predictions, but it's the guessing that makes a show like this so much fun. Of course, the big trouble is the show is destined to fizzle quickly. It happened to Alias and it will happen to Lost. Hopefully there will be at least a couple good years to look forward to.
