Lost

This might be obvious, in fact it most definitely is. Lost is a tremendous show. Often my flags have flown elsewhere, but then I consider the conditions:

This is a show running serially—not just week to week but also season by season. Watching them box after box in a week will be phenomenal (the way I once watched), but for now there is a different appreciation in the spacing: We the viewers are immersed in the drama of the show—the paces of our own lives and the characters' converge.

I also feel that I must make an apology. The confusion is mine and not the writing's. My scattered weeks have been tossing me farther from pointed pursuits. I have prioritized. Forgive me, Lost. Forgive me. There is no point in talking about the reasons why the plot in the show is so great or why its discussion of memory and consciousness is blindingly expansive. Why not just watch it—the real thing, not some less-good banter.

This banter is about something else. It's mostly just about myself and my opinions, which are two other things tha t I think are just great.
