Mentalechoes

I don’t get sucked into TV too much these days, most of the time the stuff available to watch on my free cable is so appallingly suckful that it’s more entertaining to make kissing noises while pushing my two index fingers together. Then a friend of mine suggested to me to watch Lost. Actually I think his recommendation went along the lines of, “this series is so fucking fantastically good, it will totally blow you away and have you begging for more like a hot chick in your bed”. Okay, I’ll watch it, I agreed.

So I grabbed the first series from a friend at work and pretty much saw the whole thing over the easter break during recovery days after a couple of long nights out. Right from the first episode I was totally swept into the lives and events on the island after the plane crash. I got completely absorbed into each of the characters in such a big way that after 12 episodes straight, I started thinking of them like old buddies. Perhaps the biggest thing I like about it is the way that you have no idea what is going. In that way it reminds me a lot of Twin Peaks that was on back in the late 80’s from David Lynch. Mind you, that series seemed to lose the plot of the plot pretty badly towards the end. I wonder if that’s what will happen with Lost if they try to keep it going just one season too long.

Yeah, so I’m totally sold on this series, and I can’t wait for Season 2 to finally make it out on DVD. I just hope it doesn’t take too long.

Padwanna!
