Dad calls me last night and we start chatting and then he drops the ball on me. He is addicted to the TV show Lost. There’s only one thing I can think about.
FINALLY.
He had heard about Lost over the years and knew it was a pretty good show, but Lost is just one of those shows you can’t hop into at any point. You have to watch it from the beginning. I passed him a copy that he could watch on his handy dandy new DVD player that can play digital files, but he never got around to it.
Until now.
I marveled at how he said there were nights he would watch four episodes in a row and he can’t get enough. I know exactly how he feels! It’s also interesting to hear what point he is with the show as I forgot a lot of what happened back in Season 1 & 2 and it was so long ago that I started watching the show. If I would have thought about it before, I should have caught up with all five seasons before the sixth (final) one starts up.
Anyhow, the greatest thing about Lost, is the fact that once everyone is done watching it, there are plenty of other shows to watch as well that have amazing interconnected, ongoing storylines. Alias is a must-see (well, the first three seasons that is), The Wire is supposedly the greatest TV show of all time (which I haven’t had the pleasure of dedicating my time to), and who can forget Who’s the Boss? 😉
Welcome to the land of Lost Dad!
