Musings #12: Lost- The Best Show You’ll Sound Like a Re Re discussing.

Filed Under Musings

Now, I love me some Lost, and my wife and I have been watching ever since we got the first season from Netflix. We own the first 3 seasons now and Tivo season 4 with a passion. After watching each episode, I run to the PC to check out the AV Club T.V. Club, where the series is discussed.

Like any fantasy with a rich mythology, there’s an entrance fee for Lost. You have to pay your dues by watching the show to know what people are talking about. And like any fantasy with a rich mythology, you sound like a certifiable lunatic who enjoyed lead-paint chips as a child when discussing same.  Here’s some actual posts from the message boards:

"I’m not willing to go with the theory that Ben enters a secret stone door in his barracks house to teleport to the Sahara in 1995.

How, while traveling through desert with only the clothes on his back, and a telescoping beating stick, would he be able to [orchestrate??] collect the intel on Nadia’s murder. Why would recruiting Sayid in the future be a priority for dealing with the mercenaries on the island today?"

This works for BSG, Dr. Who, the list goes on.

    The hobbit from LOST was on MAD tv recently and spoofed the show. My favorite part was when Bobby Lee yelled at him.

    Bobby: “I don’t want to hear about what happened before, or how people met. I want to know what’s going on right now!”

    Some of us just don’t get it ; )

    There are hundreds of things I don’t get- Harry Potter, Pokemon, Full Metal Alchemist, Dr. Who, Buffy- so I understand both sides of this equation. It is odd to want to strangle myself when I stop and listen to the things I am saying when discussing this show: “Remember, the smoke monster tried to kill Locke, so I think Ben was controlling it then as well.”
    I need to go lie down.

    I’m the same way about Hong Kong movies. I have inflicted this knowledge on engineers, which can only mean bad things for the future of science in America ; )
