Lost
The first three seasons of Lost are available for free viewing on ABC.com. I had never had time to watch any TV during the college semesters. So, I’ve made up for it in the time I have before I go off to the end of the world next week by watching a good portion of the first season of Lost last night. It’s fun to see that the creators of Cloverfield have hit a gold mine in TV. It makes perfect sense that they would now be moving into films with such a great show under their belt and still going strong. For all the people who told me to watch this, I only ridiculed it because I was mad not to have time for it.
The show reminds me of Michael Crichton books, with its mystery, corporations performing exotic experiments, everyman characters discovering the are entangled in something scary, etc. I haven’t come across anyone comparing the show to Crichtons’ work before. It’s intriguing stuff and I know the story gets much more complex in the following seasons. Unfortunately that will have to wait until things have settled down, until I’ve moved to a new city. That’s not going to happen until this summer. Why? Why indeed? 
Let’s just say that I’m doing the coolest thing I can imagine that is possible without a lot of money. More on that in May. Now if you’re still stumped, then you either don’t know me or haven’t seen me recently.
