I spent much of the weekend watching episode after episode of Lost. Its Number 8 ranking on my list of Top TV Shows of 2004 really doesn’t do it justice. It’s far better than an 8. Of course, I put that list together after having seen only the first couple episodes of Lost.
Not only did I wade through the remainder of episodes collected by my DVR, but I successfully managed to get Jen sucked in to the show as well.
I’ve now seen all but 3 of the first 14 episodes. The only episodes I haven’t yet seen are Tablula Rosa (#3), Raised by Another (#10), and All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues (#11). It’s easy enough to fill in the important story gaps (Kate’s criminal ways, Claire’s abduction), but what’s more frustrating is ABC’s nonsensical decision to air reruns in no particular order. What the hell kind of sense does that make? Not realizing the order, I plowed through the DVR recordings based on when each episode was taped.
In retrospect, I suppose I could have referenced the episode guide first, then pieced together my viewing order. But why should I have had to do that?
Regardless, Lost is an awesome show. If you haven’t yet seen it, check it out this Wednesdsay.
In other news, we hung out Friday night with Seth, Niki, and Justin at Justin’s house. Saturday night we went out for dinner with Sarah, Eric, and Justin at Sushi Thai Garden, then went for drinks at the Tin & Lint (where we also spent New Year’s Eve).
