Things are on too late! And the damn kids need to get off my lawn!

Waiting for BSG (although I *know* I'll fall asleep before that) and so I caught up with Lost. Watched "Not in Portland" and "Flashes Before Your Eyes."



It's just not as good as the first season, of course, what else is new? I'm not counting the days until the next episode, but then I'm not loathing it either. However, they kill the hobbit and I'm probably done. Charlie's definitely my favorite and I just don't have a burning desire to watch any of the others or keep following it for the "mystery."

Not in Portland - I have no recollection of the boyfriend before this. Sawyer seemed to know him? Or know of him? No clue how that came about. Anyway, you feel a bit bad for Juliette, but she's still helping people do morally questionable things. She's kinda made her bed.

Flashes Before Your Eyes - Was kinda neat to see an episode that didn't keep flashing back and forth to the island. However, since they were in the UK and the subject of time travel came up, I was waiting for the Doctor Who joke to come in. :D But, as said above, they kill the hobbit and I'm out.

So sadly, this seems to be a JJ hallmark. Or is that trademark? :^(

I keep forgetting he did Alias as well. That seemed to start strong and then just wandered off. :-\

then just wandered off

And ultimately dove off The Great Cliff of Death. Not to be confused, of course, with Clifford the Big Red Ball.

Not sure I'll ever choose to get into another JJ series after that experience ... and seeing the same (similar) thing happen to others.

Well, I'll certainly think twice myself now.

If they kill my hobbit, I'm marching in.

I watched the first episode of Season Three, missed the next, and realized I just...didn't care. I think half of that is because I used to watch the show with my room-mates, which is way more fun than watching alone. And then a third is the deep dip the show seemed to make into the metaphysical. And also Mythbusters is/was on at the same time so, you know...

Yeah, I'm just not into it like I used to be but I am glad that recently TPTB said they're planning a definite end to the show instead of letting it drag on for years. But Mythbusters is probably a better alternative...
