Lost...

I'm sorry. First and foremost, for canning a show after only hearing the plot line. But now, LOST is my new favourite obsession. I love the characters, flashbacks, action, suspense and story development. It really has it all. It's not just a cause of wondering 'Will they or won't they ever get off that DAMN island?'..there are giant polar bears, the 'others', frenchwomen with guns, raft building, romance and ultimately an eternal longing for home.
Season 2 premieres here in Oz this Thursday on Channel Seven. If you haven't already gotten into it, I recommend it highly. You can hire the Season 1 DVD or have a look here to discover Lost.
Are you a fan of the phenomenon that is Lost? Or does it make your blood boil?
