Lost in Lost




After enjoying countless episodes of Doctor Who, Doctor Who Classics, all of the new Who episodes, a half a dozen BBC specials about the show, and the so called “Missing Episodes,”we had pretty much run the gamut of “Whodom.”
Looking for new TV territory on Hulu, we decided to try the 2004-2010 adventure series, Lost. Carol had seen some of the 118 episodes years ago, but due to it's late air time and my early bed time, I hadn't seen any of them. (Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise!”) (I'm still waiting for that last part to happen!)
We're up to episode 8 now, and from what we've seen so far, we should have a lot of wintertime evening entertainment.
For those of you who didn't see Lost when it was originally broadcast, it's about a group of commercial jet passengers who are stranded on a mysterious, deserted island when their plane crashes. It starts out a little weird and quickly gets weirder and weirder, just our kind of show, although some parts are a little more than weird. A Polar Bear on a tropical island? It's full of metaphors, mythology and the supernatural, so I guess anything goes.
