“Lost” Up To This Point
A little while ago, while completely bored, I was cruising through Hulu trying to find a show to dump millions of my non-valuable hours down. That’s when I saw it. I found the first 4 seasons of the popular television program Lost and on a whim decided, “meh, I’ll give it a chance”. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. After burning through the entire 5 seasons in 2 weeks I’ve come up with some very reasonable conclusions about the show that everybody loves.
Going into this viewing voyage I was almost positive that I would turn it off after 15 minutes because I’d hate it. The only thing I knew about this show was that the older women at work raved about it almost as much as American Idol, which turned me off almost instantly. I didn’t even know what it was about, but I just couldn’t see myself wondering “what may happen next” in a conversation with a bunch of 40-something moms.
Upon actually watching the show I came to some conclusions. The first thing that I found out is that I can actually watch a show with mediocre to sometimes terrible acting. The thing with this show is that the writing is generally amazing enough to make up for the extremely awkwardly acted sentimental moments. The entire time I watched the show I would be saying to myself “goddamn this show is average at best, but I cannot stop watching it”. Though, like I said, I watched 5 seasons in 2 weeks so maybe I was just brainwashed the entire time.
I also realized that I can get into shows with some mystical elements to them. Sure, TV shows aren’t known for being extremely true-to-life, but I could just never get into shows that were too out there. Take the show 24, for example. While that show isn’t very realistic at all, my insane mind could justify watching it as “this could really happen” compared to all the other ridiculous shows out there. Lost, on the other hand, has things like smoke monsters and time travel and yet it’s still somehow passable to my generally stringent realistic viewing habits. Perhaps it’s just the 7 year old part of my brain that still thinks time travel is possible.
Now let’s get to the most important part and really the only point to this blog post. If I was in the “Lost” scenario who would I rather bang, Kate or Juliet? Not a whole lot of people are having this conversation and that saddens me. All I’ve heard about the ladies of this show is how hot Kate is. Sure, she’s attractive, but she also has the face of a woman who has never been nice to a person her entire life and I can’t have that.
So I’ll go with the probable minority here and say Juliet is the hottest broad on Lost. This is partly because she looks like she can be nice and mostly because I found a video of her being lesbianic with Angelina Jolie in some old, probably terrible, movie. The fact is that I searched for Juliet nudes on Google and still haven’t for Kate… Now that’s true love.
Overall, even though I find the show extremely mediocre I’m still super excited about watching the 2-hour premier tomorrow night. I’m also incredibly depressed that I now have something in common with all the 40-year old Midwestern moms I work with. Our kinds aren’t supposed to mix like this! I’m afraid what society will say about our minglings. It has to be a sin somewhere in the bible and if it’s not, then it will probably be interpreted in there any moment now.
