I’ve finally caught up to the current episode of ‘Lost’.
What’s the big deal with watching 40+ hours of television? I did most of it while running. I decided if I was going to keep myself interested in running then I better have something good to entertain me. I downloaded all the episodes and watched them on my Mac as I ran every morning.
That’s 40 episodes x 3 miles = 120 miles of running while watching Lost. Not bad. I think I’ve even lost 5 pounds. Now I’m gonna have to wait a week to watch each episode like the rest you.
Lost does a good job of keeping my attention off the clock while running. Now I just have one question:
What’s the deal with the magnets/polar bears/Walt/Others/hatch/food drops/Ethan/numbers/black rock/Dominic/Libby/map/incident/monster/black smoke/french woman?
I’m seeing this end up like the X-files where every episode answers a question and asks 10 more until it’s cancelled and they ‘explain’ everything. By then you don’t really care.
Up next: 24. I’ve heard good things about it, but never seen it. Season 1 starts playing on the treadmill next week.
I did the same thing with 24. Kept me interested the whole 24 hours or so of watching. You’ll love it. Have you doen that with Alias too???
Dude. http://www.lostpedia.com. Search for “blast door map”. Thank me later.

Yeah, I’ve seen the map interpretations. A couple of answers and a thousand more questions.
My fear with Lost is that instead of going the X-Files route it will go the Twin Peaks route. They’ll tell us what is actually going on, then say, “Oh shit. Now what?”, and end up filling more episodes with even more bizarre content and irrelevant nonsense until it gets cancelled.
Really fun show, but I’m not sure what the right way is to keep a show going when it is based around a central “big question” like Lost, X-Files, or Twin Peaks.
