When you're watching week to week, you don't have that. I know that I don't have a water cooler to stand around and talk with people about the show. I just want to watch it. <br /><br />This is way more true of dramas than sit-coms. I love How I Met Your Mother, but I don't need to watch a marathon session of it. Once a week is enough for me.<br /><br />This is especially true of Lost. Because every week at the end of the episode you're just like, "what the fuck?" Take this season premiere as an example. ***moderate spoiler alert*** Just like Open Bar said, we want answers and instead they're introducing more characters and locations on the island. Temples, a Japanese dude, concurrent conflicting story lines. It was hyper-engaging for 2 hours, but at the end I was still just like, "dude, seriously, what the fuck?" The smoke monster thing was dope, though.<br /><br />It might be interesting to do a pseudo-real-time blog effort of the last season of Lost. A couple days after each episode, for DVR lag.ChuckJerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596845287728762643noreply@blogger.com
