That's what happens when I a) watch 13 hours of TV in a week and b) try to cram my thoughts on all of it into one post instead of sinking my teeth into something interesting like Lost. The temptation to log in with a few paragraphs like "Can you believe what happened last night on Best Week Ever!!!" and call it a night is easy to succumb to. I will resist slacking in the future and try to get out more.
There's been a lot of chatter on the Net about the first five minutes of the season premiere of Lost, much of it focused on the Others' book club. Juliet's choice of Carrie has obvious parallels to Walt, but I think a more interesting detail has gone unnoticed. Adam clearly derided Carrie as science-fiction. That leads to two possibilities. Either the Others don't believe in the supernatural, or more likely, they have a rational explanation for the psychic phenomena we've seen so far.
The new LOSTCast has some interesting theories on whether or not the Others knew about the plane ("If they didn't expect it, why were they looking up?") and the cause of the disturbance. Check out the latest episode if you have a long commute don't mind the Vanzetti equation being spoiled for you. I skipped The Lost Experience, so I didn't know what the numbers meant. Now I do, although I think people who believe the numbers have power are wrong. Based on Hanso's Mathematical Forecasting Initiative, I'd assume they're just the set that assured everyone would be on the plane.
I'm all for Dharma Initiative mayonnaise.

Everytime I read something about Lost, I feel like I'm missing some great cultural awakening by not watching the show. I'm usually able to fend off those feelings, however, by feeding on barbecue corn chips and watching midget porn. Now that's a cultural awakening!
