What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[mousepod]

I'm ambivalent about Lost.
I've watched every episode and I must admit they're entertaining, but it feels like a decent mini-series stretched out over 5 years. We're more than halfway through the season, and they're introducing more questions instead of answers. I understand the logic of wanting to keep the audience intrigued (was I the only one who watched Twin Peaks after they revealed Laura Palmer's killer?), but the plot doesn't have the depth to sustain such intense stretching. My fear is that the characters are going to become more and more 2-dimensional, even with all the backstory ("Something's missing. Let's ask Sawyer.").

PS You don't have to tell me I'm wrong about any of this. Heather reminds me how wrong I am every Wednesday.

I watched the whole second season and Fire Walk With Me. "New shoes."

I watched every single episode of Twin Peaks, even when it really started to lose it. It still had a spark of interest for me. The worst of Twin Peaks is still better than most of what's good on television, IMO.

Plus, David D shows up in drag. And the conclusion was chilling.

But David Lynch makes his **** up as he goes along all the time. And that just works for him. I wish they'd hurry up with releasing more of the seasons on DVD. And the Pilot. I can't believe they didn't include the original Pilot episode in the Season 1 dvds. Bastards.
